Patent EP-0694594-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HIROSHI SASAKI
IPC: C09D11/00
Filed: 1995-07-26
Abstract: Provided are an ink high in fixability of image, water resistance and solvent resistance though it is a liquid ink containing water as a solvent and a quick-drying ink jet printer which uses said ink. The liquid ink of the present invention is a liquid ink used for ink jet printers which contains a binder, a colorant and a solvent, characterized in that it contains at least 10% by weight of water and the binder comprises a polyamic acid salt or at least one species of photo-curable resin. The ink jet printer is characterized by being provided with a device for fixing the image formed on a paper by heating or light irradiation. Although water is used as the solvent, the image can be more rapidly fixed as compared with air-drying of the image and, besides, there are no risks of fire caused by ignition. Thus, the ink jet printer of the present invention is useful for use in offices.

Abstract: A bomb damage assessment system (10) that is carried by a weapon (11) and released to provide imagery of a bombed area before and after bomb delivery. The system (10) comprises a glider (20) that is releasable secured to the weapon (11) that includes tracking and guidance electronics (34, 40) for programmable controlling the flight thereof. An imaging system (31) is disposed in the front end of the glider (20) and a deployable ballute (37) is disposed at the rear end thereof. A data link (36) is provided for transmitting images to a command center for review. The system (10) provides imagery of a target area before, during and after weapon impact. Television or infrared cameras (31) may be used for day or night missions. As a target area is approached, the glider (20) is released, resulting in an aerodynamic vehicle that flies much slower than the weapon (11). The imaging system (31) tracks the weapon (11) to impact. The explosion of the weapon (11) produces a hot spot that is tracked by the imaging system (31). The hot spot is tracked until a preselected depression angle is reached. The glider (20) banks until the hop spot is at a predetermined angle relative to the centerline thereof. This results in a spiral glide path around the hot spot so that the target area is viewed from all aspects. The spiral path also results in a monotonically decreasing range to the hot spot. The glider may employ a GPS receiver, and the target location in GPS coordinates may be entered into the guidance and control system (40). The glider (20) may be programmed to fly along a specific path or geometric surface in GPS coordinates toward the target. Using a fixed filed of view imaging system (31), a large amount of background is seen from long range and better linear resolution is obtained at short range until the glider (20) descends to the ground. Bomb damage assessment may be performed at the command center within minutes of weapon impact.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for removing blocking effect in a motion picture decoder. Boundary pixel values of a current block and corresponding adjacent block are extracted. A mean value for the resulting difference values between the extracted pixel values of the current and adjacent blocks is calculated. The calculated mean value is limited between -           1       2              and            1       2              quantization step size. The limited mean value is added to the each pixel values of the current block to generate a resulting output. In another aspect absolute values for the resulting difference values between extracted pixel values of the current and adjacent block is calculated. The calculated absolute values are compared with the respective difference values and threshold level to determine whether the current block contains an edge. The current block without the edge is selected, filtered, and outputted, in which the blocking effect due to a quantization error is removed without having distortion to the original data.

Abstract: When printing is performed by ejecting
respective inks of black and cyan and a processing
liquid, an OR data (305) and an AND data (306) are
derived from an extracted data (303) for the
processing liquid derived from an ejection data
(301) of the black ink and an extracted data (304)
for the processing liquid derived from an ejection
data (302) for the cyan ink. An OR data (308) of the
OR data (305) and data (307) derived by shifting the
AND data (306) for one pixel, is taken as an
ejection data for the processing liquid. By this,
for the pixel, on which black and cyan are ejected
in overlapping manner as represented by the AND data
(306), the processing liquid is further ejected on a
pixel adjacent thereto. Thus, the processing liquid
in an amount corresponding to an ink ejection amount
can be ejected to provide sufficient water-resistance.
