Abstract: This invention relates to an ink unit for printing press and method and more particularly, to the novel operation and structure of end seals on the ink fountain associated with a cylindrical transfer roll, i. e. an anilox roll. A fluid fountain unit (10) includes a transfer roll (11) and a chamber (13) defined by a holder adjacent said transfer roll, said chamber including doctor and containment blades (16, 18) and unitary end seals (20) all bearing against said transfer roll. The invention is characterized by applying a first lineal pressure by the end seals against said transfer roll and applying a second and higher lineal pressure against said doctor and containment blades. The ink fountain unit is further characterized by a closed perimeter recess (21) in the first side wall (22) generally aligned with the arcuate bearing surface (27) as to provide local seal stiffness greater at the blade bearing surfaces than at the roll bearing surface.

Abstract: A contour decoding apparatus decodes a bitstream of
contour information encoded using a chain code. A
demultiplexing unit (21) separates the bitstream of the
contour information into start contour pixel information
and chain code information. A start contour pixel decoder
(22) decodes start contour pixel information separated by
the demultiplexing unit and outputs horizontal and
vertical coordinate values of the start pixel. A chain
code decoding means (23-27, SW1-SW3) stores horizontal and
vertical coordinate values of previous contour pixel,
selects an incremental and decremental value designated by
the chain code information output from the demultiplexing
unit, calculates coordinate values of a next contour pixel
using the selected incremental and decremental value and
the coordinate values decoded by the start contour pixel
decoder (22) or stored previous coordinates values decoded
by the start contour pixel decoder (22) or stored previous
coordinates values, and calculates coordinate values of
the next contour pixel using the coordinate values of the
previous contour pixel and the incremental and decremental
value designated by the chain code information. A contour
pixel representation unit (28) represents values
representing a contour pixel on a pixel position
designated by the coordinate values decoded by the start
contour pixel decoder (22) and the chain code decoding
unit (23-27, SW1-SW3).

Abstract: An air-fuel ratio control system for a multi-cylinder
engine is provided. An air-fuel ratio sensor
is arranged in an exhaust system of the engine for
detecting an air-fuel ratio of a mixture supplied to the
engine and for generating an output indicative of the
air-fuel ratio of the mixture. An adaptive controller
determines an amount of fuel to be supplied to the
engine with a first predetermined repetition period in a
manner such that the output from the air-fuel ratio
sensor becomes equal to a desired value. An adaptive
parameter-adjusting mechanism adjusts adaptive
parameters used by the adaptive controller. In the
adaptive parameter-adjusting mechanism, the adaptive
parameters are calculated with a second predetermined
repetition period longer than the first predetermined
repetition period, and output data indicative of results
of the calculation is generated. Further, the output
data indicative of results of the calculation is
smoothed and output data indicative of the smoothed data
is generated with a repetition period at least equal to
the first predetermined repetition period. The adaptive
controller uses the smoothed data as values of the
adaptive parameters.
