Abstract: The present invention provides a high-speed image forming method and apparatus capable of directly controlling a toner by the force of an energy beam. Selected toner particles 101 in a mass of toner adhering to the surface of a transparent drum 221 are irradiated with a laser beam 81 emitted by a laser disposed within the transparent drum and controlled for scanning according to image information. The laser beam separates the selected toner particles from the transparent drum by the force it produces on the particles, and then the separated toner particles are moved to a paper sheet 150 by the force of an electric field produced by a developing electrode. Each toner particle need only be irradiated with the light for a comparatively short period of time, so that an image can be formed at high speed.

Abstract: A method for detecting the integrity of a bond between strain gages and the circumferential surface of a rod having an intended use comprises bonding at least four strain gages to the surface of the rod in a predetermined orientation, each of the strain gages being connected to a separate strain gage bridge circuit. The rod is used for its intended use and each of the strain gage bridge circuit outputs a plurality of instantaneous first, second, third and fourth output signals, each being associated with one of the strain gages. A plurality of instantaneous bonding values are calculated from the output signals equal to the sum of the first signal and the fourth signal minus the sum of the second signal and the third signal. If the instantaneous bonding values remain constant, the bond integrity of the strain gages is good whereas if the bonding values are not constant, the bond integrity of at least one of the strain gages is poor.

Abstract: This invention refers to a portable sterilizing apparatus, particularly to an apparatus for sterilizing footwear in general with the aim to eliminate disagreeable odours. It has been attempted to solve this problem through the use of various products, which have to be spread inside shoes and which eventually penetrate the material itself. 
This invention uses the proved germicidal property of ultraviolet light. For this, the apparatus of simple construction, is made up of a box within which is mounted an integrated circuit, fed by a 12 v current , and supplied by a transformer connected, on one hand, to an input of the circuit, and on the other hand, to the home power system. The circuit is made up of a power output for pairs of connecting terminals of ultraviolet light tubes or lamps, which have to be placed in the footwear in order to comply with its germicidal function. Furthermore, the circuit comprises a timer to give time for the tubes to be lit and a reset switch for lighting the latter manually by use of a button, in case the process needs to be repeated.

Abstract: It is desirable to correctly recognize a delimiter of character trains included in image information and to correctly recognize and extract not only an image divided every column by lateral rules but also an image which is not divided every column by lateral rules on a column unit basis. For this purpose, attributes regarding whether a table image extracted from the image information is a table without lateral rule or not are discriminated in accordance with characteristics of line images which are extracted from the image information. In accordance with the attributes, whether line delimiter information is added every line image extracted or not is determined, so that the character trains included in the table image which is not divided every unit column by the lateral rules can be divided every column and recognized.

Abstract: The cylindrical container's inner surface tester extracts image information about the opening portion and the deformation of the inner surface of a test cylindrical container through an image recognizing technique, and checks the circularity of the opening portion of the container. According to the image information, it specifies the position of a test cylindrical container as a predetermined position. Since it sequentially checks a series of cylindrical containers, the adjacent point between the containers must be identified. Then, the cylindrical container's inner surface tester identifies the adjacent point of cylindrical containers through calculations and logical operations according to the image information. Likewise, the cylindrical container's inner surface tester extracts a test area of an opening portion of an image of a test cylindrical container according to calculations and logical operations, and performs various processes such as determining the acceptability of the extracted white or black level of an image.

Abstract: A multiplex frame is of a fixed length and includes a header and a fixed-length field. The fixed-length field is divided into variable-length slots 1 and 2. The length of the variable-length slot 1 is a predetermined fixed length when data to be stored exists and is zero with no data to be stored. The length of the variable-length slot 2 is increased/decreased depending on the length of the variable-length slot 1. Fixed-length data not employing retransmission (e.g., an audio frame) is transmitted in the first variable-length slot and one complete variable-length data employing retransmission (e.g., a data link frame of video) is transmitted in the second variable-length slot. When the multiplex frame thus has a fixed length and the frame length of the data link frame of the variable-length data employing retransmission is changed depending on the length of the fixed-length data not employing retransmission, the transmitting timing of the data link frames can be fixed with respect to the transmission stream of the multiplex frames. Then the boundaries between the data link frames are not lost due to a transmission error, which improves the error robustness. That is to say, even if the slot synchronization is lost due to a transmission error, it is possible to see the next header at once, providing easy resynchronization.
