Patent EP-1431843-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MURAKAMI EISAKU
IPC: G03G5/147
Filed: 2003-09-01
Abstract: A cleanerless image forming apparatus temporarily collects residual
toner particles dependent on its polarity between the transfer and
charging areas, to provide uniform charging. On the surface of the toner
grains at least one of a charge control agent and organic fine grains is
present. A brush roller (41) collects toner grains of rather opposite
than a preselected polarity from among the residuals left on a
photoconductive drum (1) after image transfer, releases them at
preselected timing to the drum to be transferred to an intermediate
image transfer belt. When the temporarily hold residuals of opposite
polarity pass a charging zone assigned to a charge roller (3a), a bias
to the charge roller is interrupted or the charge roller is released
from the drum. 
     Another image forming apparatus without a cleaning blade provides a
protection layer on an image carrier and uses spherical toner particles
for developing and having a circularity above .95, to reduce wear of the
image carrier. 
     Still another image forming apparatus has a cleaning brush with
bristles that are tilted or have a volume resistivity from 20 Ω cm
to 100 MΩ cm, to reduce filming whilst cleaning with some aging
brush.

Abstract: Kabelmuffen im Mittelspannungsbereich weisen bislang Muffengehäuse (14) aus
zusammengeschraubten gusseisernen Halbschalen auf. Dabei kann es zu Feldbündelungen
kommen, wenn die zu verbindenden oder abzuzweigenden Kabel zu dicht
an die gusseisernen Wandungen des Muffengehäuses (14) gelangen. Daraus resultieren
mechanische Zerstörungen der Isolierung der Kabel. Außerdem sind die schwereren
gusseisernen Kabelgehäuse (14) bei der Montage schwer handhabbar. 
     Erfindungsgemäß ist nun vorgesehen, die Kabelmuffe mit einem mehrwandigen
Muffengehäuse (14) zu versehen, das vorzugsweise aus zwei konzentrischen Muffenrohren
(15, 16) unterschiedlichen Durchmessers gebildet ist. Dadurch haben die Kabel
stets einen Mindestabstand von mindestens dem äußeren Mantelrohr (16). Die
Mantelrohre (15, 16) sind weiterhin aus Kunststoff gebildet und lassen sich dadurch leicht
handhaben.

Abstract: Methods of modifying source images and image streams are described.
These methods may be used, for example, to render digital data embedded within
the image unrecoverable or to prevent splicing modified portions of the images to
recreate the source image. One method includes the step of providing a source
image stream (510) comprising a plurality of source image frames (512). A
distorted grid (520) is applied to the source image stream to generate a modified
image stream (350). The grid is distorted spatially, temporally, or both. The
distortion is designed to introduce frequency domain distortion sufficient to render
any embedded data unrecoverable without introducing significant visually
perceptible changes to the source image or image stream.

Abstract: The presence of sufficient condensate flow for odor-free operation of an air conditioning system (10) is detected based on the surface temperature of a thermistor (82) disposed in a condensate drainpipe (80) of the evaporator (24) and the power supplied to the thermistor (82). The surface temperature is used to calculate the temperatures of stagnant circumambient air and water (126, 134). If the temperature for stagnant air is approximately equal to the evaporator temperature (128), the evaporator (24) is too dry and the operating point of the air conditioning system (10) is lowered to reduce the surface temperature of the evaporator (130, 132). If the temperature for stagnant water is approximately equal to the evaporator temperature (136), the drainpipe (80) is plugged. Alternately, a constant power is supplied to the thermistor (82), and its surface temperature is compared to a set of experimentally determined reference temperatures to deduce the evaporator state (152, 158).

Abstract: An International Mobile Equipment Identification (IMEI) is coded and then stored in a user equipment (UE), wherein an authorized user is allowed to change the existing IMEI. When an IMEI is inputted, the UE generates a security code and stores the IMEI and the generated security code in a memory. Thereafter, if a second security code and IMEI is inputted, the UE determines whether the inputted security code is identical with the pre-stored security code. If the two security codes are identical with each other, the UE generates a third security code and stores the IMEI and the generated third security code. Thus, unauthorized IMEI storage is prevented. Accordingly, the IMEI coding method of the mobile UE can prevent unauthorized use of the UE while allowing the IMEI to be re-coded without hardware alteration.

Abstract: An oxide film (27) is formed on an end surface of a polymer waveguide (21) which includes an under

a glue. It is preferable that the oxide film is SiO x  (1≦x≦1.5). This oxide film (27) has a
composition ratio of an oxygen atom smaller than the stable composition, and thus it is easy for
OH radicals to appear on the surface of the oxide film. Such OH radicals bond chemically with
the resin of the waveguide (21) and the glue (37). Thus, an adhesive strength between the waveguide
(21) and the fiber guide (22,23) is improved.
