IPC: H04N9/29
Filed: 1998-03-09
Abstract: An external magnetic field correction device capable of
preventing malfunctions of the external magnetic field
correction device due to operation of a degaussing circuit by
judging that an abnormality has occurred when an output of an
external magnet.ic field detector is not less than a
predetermined value and interrupting offset adjustment
process accordingly, and that is capable of limiting
irregularities of offset current in operational current of the
magnetic field correction device to predetermined value or
less by adjusting an offset value as to make correction current
to be supplied to an external magnetic field correction coil
when an external magnetic field around a CRT is zero to a
regular value or less.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of calibrating a
laser (12) in an electrophotographic image forming
apparatus (10) used for producing a print image on a
print medium. A laser (12) having a selectively
energizable laser beam output is provided. A rotatable
optical device (20) and the laser combine to define a
movable projection path of the laser beam output.
Rotation of the optical device (20) results in movement
of the projection path across a scan line overlaying a
photoconductive drum (38). The optical device (20) has
a rotational acceleration upon initial rotation thereof
with a ramp-up period during which the rotational
velocity increases. A safe area (46) is established in
a portion of the scan line (40,50) which does not
overlay an image area (48) on the photoconductive drum
(38). The laser (12) is energized and calibrated when
the projection path is positioned in the safe area (46).
The calibration is carried out during the ramp-up period
of the rotating optical device (20).

Abstract: An improved CDMA base station (60) for insuring a constant supply of
energy to each of a plurality of rake fingers (110-116), thus improving gain, includes a
plurality of pairs of diversity antennas (62,64; 66,68). The energy from the first
antenna (64, 68) of each pair is subjected to a delay while the energy from the second
antenna (62, 66) of each pair is not subjected to a delay. The added delay (86, 88) is
greater than the chip time of the rake fingers. The signals from each pair of antennas is
combined (90, 92) and converted to digital form (104, 106). The energy from all the
antennas is then routed to the rake fingers (110-116), with the energy from each antenna
being routed to one of the rake fingers. The energy from the rake fingers is then
combined (118) into a single data stream. In an alternative approach, the base station
includes a plurality of diversity antennas. The energy from each of the diversity
antennas is subjected to a different amount of delay. The delay difference must again be
greater than the chip time of the rake fingers. The energy from the antennas is
combined, converted to digital format, and routed to each of a plurality of rake fingers,
with the energy from each antenna being routed to the rake finger. The energy from the
rake fingers is then combined into a single output data stream.

Abstract: An electroluminescent lamp is driven by a driving circuit that can supply an
approximately sinusoidal signal, a bi-directional sawtooth signal or a single-ended sawtooth
signal. Switches selectively transfer energy from a battery to an inductor and then from the
inductor to the lamp. In one embodiment, the lamp voltage is compared to a reference
waveform, such as a sinusoid. The switches are activated responsive to the error between the
lamp voltage and reference waveform to minimize the error. The lamp can thus be driven with
a closer approximation of the reference waveform.

Title: Turbogenerator/motor controller
Inventor: GEIS EVERETT R
IPC: H02P9/04
Filed: 1998-09-08
Abstract: A turbogenerator/motor controller with a microprocessor based
inverter having multiple modes of operation. To start the turbine, the inverter
connects to and supplies fixed current, variable voltage, variable frequency,
AC power to the permanent magnet turbogenerator/motor, driving the
permanent magnet turbogenerator/motor as a motor to accelerate the gas
turbine. During this acceleration, spark and fuel are introduced in the correct
sequence, and self-sustaining gas turbine operating conditions are reached.
The inverter is then disconnected from the permanent magnet
turbogenerator/motor, reconfigured to a controlled frequency mode, and then
either supplies regulated three phase voltage to a stand alone load or phase
locks to the utility, or to other like controllers, to operate as a supplement to
the utility. In this mode of operation, the power for the inverter is derived
from the permanent magnet turbogenerator/motor via high frequency rectifier
bridges. The microprocessor monitors turbine conditions and controls fuel
flow to the gas turbine combustor. An energy storage and discharge system
including an ancillary electric storage device, such as a battery, can be
connected to the generator controller through control electronics. Electrical
energy can flow from the ancillary electric storage device to the turbogenerator
controller during start up and increasing load and vice versa during
self-sustained operation of the turbogenerator. When utility power is
unavailable, the ancillary electric storage device can provide the power 
required to start the turbogenerator. When a load transient occurs, the gas
turbine engine and the ancillary electric storage device can provide the power
required to successfully meet the transient.

Abstract: An apparatus for advancing at least two different
types of substrates from a moving surface (10) to a fusing
station (F) is disclosed. A constant speed transport (30)
positioned to receive the substrate from the moving surface
advances the substrate to the fusing station. An air
moving device (88) moves air such that air pressure induces
a drive force on the substrate on the transport. A sensor
(82) generates a first signal when the substrate is of a
first type and generates a second signal when the substrate
is of a second type. The air moving device (88) induces a
first drive force when the sensor (82) generates the first
signal and induces a second drive force when the sensor
generates the second signal.

Abstract: A system controller directs a storage device to output a scene
description data corresponding to a user request signal. A
parsing circuit extracts a URL (Uniform Resource Locator)
included in the scene description data, and causes storage
devices to output elementary stream and object stream
corresponding to the URL. After extracting an object descriptor
from the object stream, a generator generates an ID of this
object descriptor and supplies it to an encoder. Further, the
generator adds the ID to the object descriptor and outputs the
ID-added object descriptor to a multiplexer. The multiplexer
multiplexes the scene description data including the ID that has
been converted into binary format, the object descriptor and the
elementary streams into a multiplexed stream for output thereof.

Abstract: For a balance adjustment due to a reduction in size
and weight of an actuator, an arm portion, an axis
attaching portion, and a coil supporting portion are
arranged so that the centers of gravity on the coil side
are located on a straight line connecting a rotational
center and the center of gravity on the head side.
Further, the improvement of an assembling efficiency of a
VCM, an increase in torque, a one-touch fixing of an FPC
connecting band, a noise prevention of a read pattern, and
an insulation between the base and cover due to a bias of
an MR read head are accomplished. A sector mark is
detected by comparing a peak detection pulse and its
reference polarity signal. A redundancy is provided to a
reference detection polarity signal so that a read signal
can be detected even if any one of the read signals of the
sector marks is dropped out. A gray code detecting
section for recognizing a cylinder address also detects
on the basis of a peak detection pulse and a polarity
signal due to the reading of a gray code. A memory space
to store a program is divided into an ROM space of a small
electric power consumption and an RAM space of a large
electric power consumption and stores each peculiar
program. When the CPU doesn't execute a program in the
RAM space, the execution of an idle program in the ROM
space is allocated, thereby reducing an electric power
consumption in an idle state by using an ROM.
