Abstract: The present invention employs a high elastic body with E value more
than 1.2 x 10 4  kg/cm 2  to be used for a body frame (5) which supports a
mechanical chassis (2) of optical disk equipment or the like, and also
employs an elastic body (1) with E value less than 1.0 x 10 4  kg/cm 2  which
aims at vibration damping and with rubber hardness JIS-A Class less than
70 as a low elastic body to be used for an installing portion of the
mechanical chassis. By integral-molding both the low and high elastic
bodies, a frame damper is formed, thereby controlling and isolating even
vibration caused by high double-speed rotation of a disk (3). Also, by
integral-molding both the low elastic body (1) of the installing portion of
the mechanical chassis (2) and the high elastic body of the body frame (5) , 
an assembly process using a fixing pin is avoided and working efficiency is
improved.

Abstract: An inkjet printing system provides an automated
mechanism for the connection/disconnection of an ink
supply valve (120) to inkjet printheads (106) without
having to remove the printheads from a carriage (62).
The automated mechanism includes a bracket (108) for
holding a plurality of ink supply valves (120) in a
passive first position displaced from a corresponding
number of inlet ports (80) on inkjet printheads (106)
mounted in the carriage (62) which moves back and forth
across a print zone. During normal printing operations
there is no connection between the ink supply valves
(120) and the inkjet printheads (106). When it becomes
necessary to replenish ink in the printheads from a
supplemental ink container connected to the ink supply
valve (120), the carriage (62) comes to a rest position
away from the print zone, and a motor (200) causes the
bracket to move towards the carriage (62) so that an ink
supply valve can directly engage an inlet port on the
inkjet printhead. In an exemplary embodiment, an ink
cartridge having a reservoir capacity of about 40 cc.
can receive about 15 cc. of ink form the supplemental
ink container through the ink supply valve during a
relatively short time period of approximately two
minutes. Since the bracket moves all the in supply
valves as a group, all of the printheads are replenished
at the same time, even though only one printhead may
have reached a threshold level which triggered the
replenishment procedure.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à une architecture d'ordinateur multiprocesseur incorporant plusieurs processeurs algorithmiques de mémoire (MAP) de matériel programmable dans le sous-système de la mémoire. Les processeurs MAP peuvent contenir un ou plusieurs réseaux de portes programmables par l'utilisateur (FPGA) qui fonctionnent de façon à exécuter des algorithmes identifiés en association et en relation étroite avec un microprocesseur, et chaque processeur MAP est globalement accessible par tous les processeurs système pour permettre l'exécution des algorithmes définissables par l'utilisateur. Un circuit contenu dans le processeur MAP signale à quel moment la dernière opérande a terminé son opération, permettant ainsi d'interrompre puis de redémarrer un processus donné. Grâce à l'utilisation d'une mémoire morte (ROM) située à proximité adjacente du réseau FPGA, un programme d'utilisateur peut utiliser une seule instruction pour sélectionner l'un des algorithmes préchargés possibles, réduisant ainsi le temps de reconfiguration système. Une structure de mémoire système d'ordinateur MAP, présentée ici, peut fonctionner en mode d'accès mémoire directe (DMA) ou normal et, dans ce dernier mode, un dispositif peut acheminer les résultats directement à un autre dispositif, ce qui permet l'exécution en pipeline ou en parallèle d'un algorithme défini par l'utilisateur. Ce système offre également une capacité de surveillance des performances programmable par l'utilisateur et il utilise un logiciel de mise en parallèle pour détecter automatiquement les régions parallèles des applications utilisateur contenant des algorithmes qui peuvent être exécutés dans le matériel programmable.

Abstract: It is the object of the present invention to provide a transmission system that
transmits a control signal corresponding to the overhead accommodating time division
multiplexing information at a frequency that is the same (or nearly the same) as that of
the main signal. In order to attain this object, an optical transmitter broadens in a time
range the optical waveform of the OTDM signal having a wavelength λ 0  and the control
light having a wavelength λ 1  (≈ λ 0 ), and multiplexes the signal light having an optical
peak intensity set low compared to the OTDM signal peak intensity and sending this to
an optical transmission fiber. An optical receiver provides a light splitting means that
splits into two parts the transmitted OTDM signal and the control light and outputs one
part thereof to an optical time division multiplexing means, and at the same time
restores the control light included in the other part of the light to the original optical
pulse train, and extracts the control information by converting this to an electric signal.
