Patent EP-1345091-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SATO FUMIKAZU
IPC: G03G15/08
Filed: 2003-03-11
Abstract: A developing device includes a holding chamber for
holding developing agent, a port for accessing the holding
chamber from outside the developing device, and a developing
agent bearing member that bears developing agent from the
holding chamber. After the developing device has been used
until the holding chamber has run out of developing agent,
the used developing device is refilled with developing agent.
In the following manner. The port is opened to access the
holding chamber. The type of previously-used developing
agent that remains in the holding chamber from the preceding
developing operation usage is determined. The previously-used
developing agent is removed to an amount of 1.2 g or
less per centimeter of the axial length of the developing
agent bearing member. Then, a type of developing agent that
has a lower fluidity characteristic, a lower melting
characteristic, or both, than the previously-used developing
agent is determined. Then, the holding chamber is refilled
with the designated type of developing agent. Afterward, the
port is closed.

Abstract: In order to increase the transient response
speed of a DC-to-DC converter capable of voltage step-up
and voltage step-down, to which a DC voltage is
input from a battery or the like and from which a
controlled DC voltage is supplied to a load, a first
voltage E1 lower than an output setting voltage Eset
by a predetermined voltage is defined and is compared
with a DC output voltage Eo by a first comparator, and
the result of the comparison is output. @a A second
voltage E2 lower than a DC input voltage Ei by a
predetermined voltage is defined and is compared with
the DC output voltage Eo by a second comparator 133,
and the result of the comparison is also output. When
the results of the comparisons are represented by Eo <
E1 and Eo < E2, a switch connected between the input
and the output is turned ON. This configuration
greatly increases the response speed at the time when
the DC output voltage Eo reaches the output setting
voltage Eset.

Abstract: An inkjet recording apparatus suppresses
defective ejection while reducing a consumed ink
amount. In the apparatus, a cap-open period, during
which a cap member does not cap ejection ports of a
recording head of the apparatus, is measured, and a
recovery operation executed by a recovery unit is
controlled based on a cumulated cap-open period.
With the above arrangement, there can be solved a
problem that the ink ejecting state of the recording
head is deteriorated depending on a recording
operation because a cap-open state, in which the cap
member does not cap the ejection ports of the
recording head, continues while the inkjet recording
apparatus executes the recording operation, thereby
the reliability of the inkjet recording apparatus can
be improved.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically segmenting speech inventories. A set of
Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are initialized using bootstrap data. The HMMs are
next re-estimated and aligned to produce phone labels. The phone boundaries of the
phone labels are then corrected using spectral boundary correction. Optionally, this
process of using the spectral-boundary-corrected phone labels as input instead of the
bootstrap data is performed iteratively in order to further reduce mismatches between
manual labels and phone labels assigned by the HMM approach.

Abstract: Several linearly polarized optical signals are transmitted into a fibre to be tested, and the traces obtained by back diffusion are detected. For each of the traces there is a normalization stage, and calculation determining change in polarization independently of global noise present in signals.  The test system includes sending several linearly polarized optical signals into a fibre to be tested, and polarization sensitive detection of the traces obtained by back diffusion of these optical signals. For each of the traces there is a normalization stage, and calculation of the difference of the normalized trace to produce the resultant noise for the trace. A further calculation is used to based on average weighting to determine the global noise. The next stage includes estimation of the polarization modal coefficient of dispersion with respect to the global noise using a function having a scalar input and a scalar output. The angular shift between the linearly polarized optical signals is determined in a such a way that the global noise is independent of the eventual polarization rotation occurring in the optical fibre to be tested.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé de détection de fibrillation auriculaire au moyen de la surveillance des intervalles R-R d'un patient à complexes QRS. Des rapports de l'intervalle R-R actuel sont transformés en intervalles R-R précédents. De nombreuses moyennes mobiles sont extraites des résultats des rapports. Les rapports sont comparés à un seuil de validation et si le rapport particulier est à l'intérieur d'une gamme sélectionnée, une moyenne mobile est calculée par inclusion de l'intervalle R-R présent. Si le rapport est à l'extérieur de la gamme, une moyenne mobile est calculée sans inclure l'intervalle R-R actuel. Les moyennes mobiles sont combinées et la moyenne de différence est comparée à un seuil de déclenchement. Si la moyenne de différence dépasse le seuil, une fibrillation auriculaire est déterminée, un déclenchement de mémoire a lieu, et les données de complexe QRS sont enregistrées à l'intérieur d'une période de temps sélectionnée pendant l'événement de fibrillation auriculaire et retirées de l'état de réécriture dans la mémoire. Un seuil de rétablissement, qui diffère du seuil de déclenchement, est utilisé et si la moyenne de différence descend en dessous du seuil de rétablissement, le procédé et l'appareil sont à nouveau capables d'enregistrer un nouvel événement de fibrillation auriculaire (AFIB).
