Patent EP-1128224-A3 (EP)
Inventor: YOSHIDA SATOSHI
IPC: G03G9/083
Filed: 2001-02-20
Abstract: A developer for developing an electrostatic
latent image is formed from toner particles each
comprising a binder resin and a colorant, inorganic
fine powder having a number-average particle size of 4
- 80 nm based on primary particles, and
electroconductive fine powder. The developer is
characterized by having a number-basis particle size
distribution in the range of 0.60 - 159.21 µm
including 15 - 60 % by number of particles in the
range of 1.00 - 2.00 µm, and 15 - 70 % by number of
particles in the range of 3.00 - 8.96 µm, each
particle size range including its lower limit and
excluding its upper limit. As a result of inclusion
an appropriate amount of the electroconductive fine
powder represented by the particle size fraction of
1.00 - 2.00 µm, the developer is suitably used in an
image forming method including a contact charging step
of charging the image-bearing member based on the
direct injection charging mechanism and also in an
image forming method including a developing-cleaning
step of developing the electrostatic latent image and
recovering the developer remaining on the image-bearing
member after the transfer step.

Title: Improved vector quantization
Inventor: NORMILE JAMES OLIVER
IPC: H04N19/94
Filed: 1993-08-31
Abstract: Improved method and apparatus for vector quantization (VQ) to build a codebook for the compression of data. The codebook (600) or "tree" is initialized by establishing N initial nodes (610) and creating the remainder of the codebook as a binary codebook (650). Children entries (670) are split upon determination of various attributes, such as maximum distortion, population, etc. Vectors obtained from the data are associated with the children nodes, and then representative children entries are recalculated. This splitting/reassociation continues iteratively until a difference in error associated with the previous children and current children becomes less than a threshold. This splitting and reassociating process continues until the maximum number of terminal nodes is created in the tree, a total error or distortion threshold has been reached or some other criterion. The data may then be transmitted as a compressed bitstream comprising a codebook and indices referencing the codebook.

Abstract: A method for incorporating concentrated milkfat into milk to form a
concentrated milkfat/milk blend is provided. The concentrated milkfat/milk
blend can be used in the preparation of natural cheese. The method
provides a cost effective procedure for blending concentrated milk fat and
milk without the use of added stabilizers. Fat in the concentrated milkfat/milk
blend does not separate during additional processing required in producing a
natural cheese from the concentrated milkfat/milk blend. In this process, a
reduced-fat milk is blended with concentrated milkfat at a temperature sufficient to melt
the concentrated milkfat to form a slurry. The slurry is homogenized, preferably using an
in-line jet homogenizer at a pressure of about 90 to about 225 psig [about 0.62 to about
1.55 MPa gauge] or a piston type homogenizer operated at a pressure of about 500 to
about 1500 psig [about 3.45 to about 10.34 MPa gauge], to obtain the concentrated
milkfat/milk blend with an average fat particle size of about 1.0 to about 10
microns and a fat particle size distribution such that at least about 90 percent
of the fat particles have a particle size of about 1,0 to about 10 microns. The
concentrated milkfat/milk blend can be used to prepared natural cheese using
conventional cheese-making techniques.

Abstract: Apparatus and method are presented for compensating for carrier signal phase
distortion caused by amplitude modulating an RF carrier signal. A modulator-amplifier network
receives an RF carrier signal and modulates it by a received amplitude varying signal to obtain
therefrom a modulated RF carrier signal which is phase shifted from the phase of the carrier
signal applied to the network by an amount that varies with the value of the amplitude varying
signal. A phase shifter receives the RF carrier signal and phase shifts it in accordance with the
value of a received phase correction signal to provide a pre-phase shifted carrier signal that is
applied to the modulator-amplifier network. A phase detector receives and compares the
modulated RF carrier signal and the carrier signal and provides an error signal in accordance
with the comparison. A controller provides the correction signal and receives the error signal
and the amplitude varying signal and varies the value of the correction signal in accordance with
the value of the error signal and the value of the amplitude varying signal.

Abstract: In an exhaust gas purifying apparatus disposed in an exhaust passage of
a diesel engine, an NOx trap catalyst is filled. The NOx trap catalyst uses an
NOx absorber which absorbs NOx in an atmosphere with an excess oxygen
while releasing the absorbed NOx when the concentration of oxygen is lowered.
In the engine, a main injection is executed near a top dead center of a
compression stroke. Meanwhile, a post injection is executed in such a manner
that the fuel injected by the post injection is burned near such timing that a
diffusion combustion of the fuel injected by the main injection ends in an
expansion stroke after the main injection. By executing the post injection, the
concentration of O 2  in the exhaust gas can be lowered and the concentration of
HC can be suitably elevated while lowering production of soot.

Pairs of X electrodes are provided on respective upper and lower sides of a Y electrode. The areas between the Y and X electrodes on the upper sides are assigned to be display lines for odd-numbered frames, and the areas between the Y and X electrodes on the lower sides are assigned to be display lines for even-numbered frames. Alternate areas between the surface discharge electrodes are assigned as blind lines and a discharge light emission in the blind lines is blocked or incident light to the blind lines from the outside is absorbed. Address electrodes (A1 to A6) are provided for each monochromatic pixel column and selectively connected with the pads above them, performing simultaneous selection of lines.

transmitting coupling that causes the clutch to transition from a disengaged state to an
engaged state. The method includes sensing a vehicle parameter and generating a
signal operable to engage the clutch in response to the sensed vehicle parameter, so
that the transition to the engaged state may be controlled as a function of the sensed
vehicle parameter.
