Abstract: A multi-color electrophotographic apparatus is provided which includes a casing having an access cover (36A), an image transfer belt unit (37) for transferring a multi-colored image formed thereon a recording sheet, and an image-forming assembly (55) having a plurality of image-forming units. Each image-forming unit includes a photoconductor (46) and a developer (63) storing therein toner of a single different color for forming a different color toner image on each photoconductor (46). The image-forming assembly (55) is arranged to be movable between operative and inoperative positions. The operative position is such that each image-forming unit lies at an image-forming station with the photoconductor (46) thereof in engagement with an image transfer belt (38) of the image transfer belt (37) unit to transfer the toner image formed thereon in registration with one another to the image transfer belt for forming the multi-colored image. The inoperative position is such that all the photoconductors of the image-forming assembly are out of engagement with the image transfer belt for allowing an apparatus operator to unload the image transfer belt unit from the casing through the access cover (36A) without damaging each photoconductor due to rubbing with the image transfer belt.

Abstract: The synchronisation method is applied to synchronise the decoder in the radio data signal receiver with the received data stream. A counter, with a count value having a random relation to the block sequence of the data current, is indexed by the radio data signal data clock and is reset upon reaching a count corresponding to the number of bits in a group. After reception of each bit sequence for a valid data block, the actual count value is compared with the block type in a table, synchronisation being indicated when a given number of corresponding count values and block types are located.

Abstract: In a vehicle having a voltage regulated electric alternator (14') driven by an engine (31) for supplying power to drive electrical loads (18') and to charge a vehicle battery (10'), a method of maintaining state of charge of the battery includes adaptively learning a system voltage set-point during a first mode of engine operation resulting in an electrical system operative in set-point regulation. The method determines from the learned system voltage set-point and a current system voltage during a second mode of engine operation that the electrical system is operating in an auto-regulation mode. Idle speed is controlled in response to the regulation state of the electrical system to maintain the system in set-point regulation so as to ensure adequate battery charge or minimal battery discharge during the second mode of engine operation.

Abstract: A telephone set includes a ROM (2) which stores a list of STD codes corresponding to local calls. On a telephone number being entered, a microprocessor (1) searches the ROM (2) for the STD code, if any, of the entered number. The microprocessor (1) then controls the operation of the telephone set on the basis of this comparison. 
     In one embodiment, if no match is found, a DTMF signal generator (5) is caused to apply a network selection signal to the subscriber line (6) before applying the subscriber dialling signal. If a match is found, the network selection signal is omitted. Other embodiments provide for restriction of use of the telephone set to local calls and restriction of the duration of long distance calls.

Abstract: A method is presented for interconnecting bond pads of a flip chip with bond pads of a substrate by an electrically conductive polymer. An organic protective layer is selectively formed over a surface of a flip chip to thereby leave exposed bond pads on the flip chip. An electrically conductive polymerizable precursor is disposed on the bond pads extending to a level beyond the organic protective layer to thereby form bumps. The bumps are aligned with bond pads of a substrate and then contacted to those bond pads. The bumps can be polymerized either before or after contacting the bumps to the bond pads of the substrate to form electrically conductive interconnections between the bond pads of the flip chip and the bond pads of the substrate.

Abstract: An adjustable depth/width FIFO buffer (65) is provided that accommodates variable width data transfers. The FIFO buffer (65) has two sections of read/write registers (73, 75) that are each independently controlled for transferring 16 bit words or 32 bit words without wasting register space in the FIFO buffer (65) when transferring 16 bit words. When the FIFO buffer (65) is narrowed to transfer 16 bit words, the storage space is deepened. This allows maximum use of the FIFO buffer registers (72) when interfacing either 16 bits of parallel data or 32 bits of parallel data. The FIFO buffer (65) is a slave only buffer to a host processor, therefore, the FIFO buffer (65) cannot initiate output of data, keeping the design simple and small.

In a refrigeration cycle of the refrigerator, a compressor (17) discharges the refrigerant, which passes through a condenser (11), a choke (21), and an evaporator (25) and returns to the compressor (17). The refrigerator has a detector (S3). When the detector (S3) detects a leak of the refrigerant, the operation of the compressor (17) is stopped.

Abstract: A modular pneumatic type tobacco separator apparatus employs a separation chamber which receives a threshed tobacco mixture at a feed trough at an upper elevation, and receives an upwardly directed air stream at a lower elevation. The air stream separates the mixture into lamina material, which is blown upwardly and removed by way of a screening separator, and stem material which falls to the bottom of the chamber, and is removed by an upwardly inclined conveyor belt. The configuration of the apparatus is such that, when two units of the apparatus are placed interactively together, the stem material emergent from a first unit drops by gravity into the feed trough of the next successive downstream unit of the apparatus.

Abstract: A calibration circuit for a capacitive sensor (10) is disclosed which compensates for any offsets or sensitivity variations of the sensor (10) once the sensor has been calibrated. The circuit uses digital calibration codes determined during calibration. The digital codes are modified and unmodified as inputs to a digital-to-analogue converter (30). The digital-to-analogue converter applies the corresponding analogue equivalents to the inputs (16,18) of the sensor (10) in a alternate manner so that the voltages applied to the sensor are balanced around a mirror voltage. The balance around the mirror voltage reduces the electrostatic deflection of the sensor which reduces sensor errors. The output of the sensor is converted to a pulse density signal representative of the output of the sensor.

Abstract: In order to effectively perform image stabilization by control of retaining initial characteristics of a photosensitive body, if correlation between initial and aged values corresponding to bright and dark part signals of the photosensitive body is such that a variation between the initial and aged values of the dark part signal (dark △) is greater than a variation between the initial and aged values of the bright part signal (bright △), an image stabilizer, first, controls a charging characteristic of the aged values by changing a charging output to the photosensitive body so that the bright △ and the dark △ are equal to each other. Next, the image stabilizer makes the aged characteristics of the photosensitive body virtually identical to the initial characteristics by changing an exposure output so that the aged and initial values of the dark part signal become equal to each other.
