Patent EP-0877337-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CLARKE CYRUS BRADFORD
IPC: G06K15/12
Filed: 1998-03-23
Abstract: A laser printer (10) is provided having an
automatic printhead identification system for use in a
family of laser printers that are compatible with more
than one model of printhead. For example, a single
laser printer model can be made so that two different
printheads can be successfully used, so long as the
printer system knows which laser printhead has actually
been installed. To detect which printhead has been
installed, the printer operating system provides a
reference clock signal (REF CLK) having a pre-determined
frequency, which dictates the rotational speed of the
motor (42). Once the motor (42) has achieved a "lock"
operational speed, the printer (10) measures the scan
rate of the faceted mirror by detecting the time
interval between pulses of the "HSYNC" signal. The
HSYNC signal is sent to a "divide-by-n counter" circuit
(40) which divides the pulse frequency of the HSYNC
signal, thereby increasing the time interval (by a
factor of "n") that must be sensed by the system to
determine which printhead is in fact installed. So long
as the HSYNC "lock" frequency is different between the
various models of printheads that are compatible with a
particular model laser printer, the principles of the
invention can be used without adding any extra hardware
sensors, signals, or memory addresses and detecting
codes.

Abstract: An inductive output tube (32) where, in order to permit the use of
coaxial output cavities, the electron beam propagates in first approximation in a
radial direction from the cathode (34). The electron beam is generated by an in first
approximation cylindrical cathode (34), and gated by a consequently in first
approximation cylindrical grid (44). The required drive power is provided by a
coaxial input circuit. Depending on the level of a bias voltage, V g , applied between
grid (44) and cathode (34), the radial electron beam can optionally be operated in
modulation classes A, AB, B or C. The modulated electron beam, accelerated by
the beam voltage applied between cathode (34) and anode (52), passes through an in
first approximation cylindrical output gap (54) where the modulation interacts with the
electromagnetic field of a coaxial output circuit which is optionally connected to one
or both ends of the gap (66) between anode (52) and collector (62). The spent beam is
then collected by a radial collector (62). In this manner the desired use of coaxial
cavities, operating in the suitable TE 011  coaxial mode, is achieved.

Abstract: The invention concerns a cover arrangement for
covering a waggon, said arrangement comprising two rigid
end walls (13, 14), which are attachable to the waggon
(1) at either end thereof, a cover (15) and a plurality
of rigid cover arches (17). Each cover arch extends
between the long sides of the waggon and has at its ends
end pieces (35), which are displaceably connectible to
the waggon for displacement of the cover arch along the
waggon. The cover arches are connected to the cover at a
distance from each other to form a covered space under
the cover. The end walls comprise locking means (21, 23)
for releasable locking of two end arches (25, 27) of the
cover arches in engagement with an end wall each. The
arrangement further comprises members (19) which are
arranged between the cover arches and adapted to extend
the cover cloth between the arches, each member being
elongate, arcuate and resilient. Each member is, when the
cover arrangement is arranged on a waggon, pretensioned
by elastic bending of at least part of the member, such
that it applies an outwardly directed pretensioning force
on the cover cloth, at least when the end arches are
locked. As a result, the members assist in extending the
cover cloth as the arches are moved together.

Abstract: The disclosed system generates resolver reference signal on the basis of the clock of a CPU (202). The CPU (202) generates resolver output signal sampling and servo control loop trigger signals in synchronization with its own clock. Thus, the synchronization between the reference signal and the sampling is assured. Because the sampling is constantly performed at a fixed phase point of the reference signal, the sampling accuracy is improved, while stable servo control loop response is obtained because the sampling is also synchronous with servo control loop so that the sampling will not interrupt the servo control loop. <IMAGE>

process has a unique process identifier (PID) associated with it. Each
process optionally has an affinity list containing one or more entries,
each of which contains the identifier of a process that is to be notified
when the process fails. A process updates the affinity list of a target
process (either itself or another process) by calling an affinity service
of the operating system (OS) kernel, specifying the type of operation
(add or delete), the identifier of the target process, the identifier of
the process that is to notified, and the type of event that is to be
generated for the process that is to be notified. When a process fails, a
process termination service of the OS kernel examines the affinity list
of the failing process and, for each entry in the list, generates an
event of the specified type for the process specified as to be notified.
