Abstract: Dye imbibition printing blanks are disclosed comprising a support bearing on one side thereof a dye-receiving layer comprising a cationic mordant, and further comprising an antistat layer substantially free of cationic polymers. The antistatic layer is preferably provided on the opposite side of the support relative to the dye-receiving layer. Such antistatic layer provides improved antistatic properties which enable high manufacturing and processing speeds without adversely affecting printed image qualities. In a preferred embodiment, the dye receiving layer comprises a cationic mordant, a hydrophilic colloid and a plasticizer polymer, wherein the plasticizer polymer is a latex polymer having a glass transition temperature below about 30°C comprising from about 2 to 20 wt% of units having a quaternary ammonium group. Use of such latexes provide dye imbibition printing blanks substantially free of haze and brittleness. A process for exposing dye imbibition printing matrix films is also disclosed comprising imagewise exposing a matrix film comprising a visible light sensitive silver halide emulsion containing colloid layer on a support to blue, green or red light, wherein the visible light sensitive emulsion is also sensitive to UV light and the toe contrast of the imaged matrix film is controlled by (i) incorporating a UV absorber in the colloid layer of the matrix film, and (ii) flash exposing the matrix film with UV light in the substantial absence of light having a wavelength above 410 nm, wherein the UV absorber provides sufficiently low absorption above 410 nm such that it does not substantially alter the effective photographic speed of the matrix film during the imagewise exposure or the mid scale contrast of the imaged matrix film, and sufficiently high absorption to the UV light to decrease the resulting toe contrast of the imaged matrix film.

Abstract: Print data including text or graphics data is transferred from a host computer to a printer. The printer develops the received data on band basis. When data processing to be performed by the printer is expected to fail due to shortage of the memory area size, the host computer cancels the data which has already been sent to the printer, and develops the text or graphics data to form image data. The image data thus formed is sent to the printer. Image data is transferred in a hierarchical manner. Disclosed also is a method which makes it possible to eliminate as much as possible any data processing failure in the printer attributable to shortage of memory capacity.

Abstract: In a process for gasifying and burning waste materials, the waste materials are introduced into an incinerator (1) and end up on a burning grate (6) to which combustion air is conducted through various undergrate forced draft chambers (8a to 8e). In the first area combustion air is introduced at a superstoichiometric level in order to ignite the waste materials. Then, via the undergrate forced draft chambers (8c to 8e), oxygen is mixed into the air which is used for the gasification, thereby establishing a substoichiometric level which results in gasification of the waste materials. The combustible gases which result from this process pass via a waste gas flue (12) into a second furnace (2), in which the gases are burned at a superstoichiometric level through the introduction of combustion air. The resulting waste gases pass to a heat exchanger (3).

Abstract: A ballast circuit for a gas discharge lamp of
the type including resistively heated cathodes includes a
resonant load circuit incorporating a gas discharge lamp
(48) and including first and second resonant impedances
(L R , C R ) whose values determine the operating frequency of
the resonant load circuit. Further included is a d.c.-to.a.c.
converter circuit coupled to the resonant load
circuit so as to induce an a.c. current in the resonant
load circuit. The converter includes first and second
switches (S1, S2) serially connected between a bus
conductor at a d.c. voltage (VBUS) and ground (14), and
has a common node through which the a.c. load current
flows. A feedback circuit (R F ) provides a feedback
signal (V F ) indicating the level of current in the
resonant load circuit. A high voltage IC drives (16) the
first and second switches at a frequency determined by a
timing signal which predominantly comprises the feedback
signal (V F ) during lamp ignition, whereby during lamp
ignition the feedback signal causes the high voltage IC
to drive the first and second switches towards a
switching frequency which promotes resonant operation of
the resonant load circuit. A circuit (42) isolates the
feedback signal from the timing signal for a
predetermined period of time upon energizing of said
converter circuit so as to allow the cathodes to become
heated during such period of time, prior to lamp
ignition.

Abstract: Procédé et appareil de traitement d'une interrogation dans un système de base de données utilisant des types d'index qui ne sont pas intégrés à la base de données. Des sous-programmes de gestion d'une structure d'index qui n'est pas prévue par un système de base de données sont produits. Des données qui identifient ces sous-programmes sont soumises au système de base de données, de manière à 'enregistrer' les types de données dans le système de base de données. En réponse aux instructions envoyées au système de base de données par un client, le système appelle les sous-programmes, ce qui provoque la création par les sous-programmes d'une structure d'index utilisant les données d'un conteneur de données dans la base de données, ainsi que la génération de données qui indiquent quelle donnée dans le conteneur de données correspond à l'interrogation du client. Les sous-programmes du type d'index enregistré étendent les capacités d'indexage des systèmes de bases de données, et un ou plusieurs de ces types d'index peuvent être enregistrés dans un système de base de données. La structure d'index gérée par les sous-programmes peut être tenue à jour dans des segments de la base de données, et on peut avoir accès à ces segments sous forme de tables ne contenant que des index. Le stockage d'une rangée de données dans une base de données utilisant des tables ne contenant que des index consiste à stocker dans un noeud feuille une entrée d'index comprenant une valeur de clé en plus des autres valeurs de la rangée de données. Si la rangée de données dépasse une taille déterminée, une partie de la rangée de donnée est stockée dans une zone de dépassement de capacité. L'extraction d'une rangée de données à partir d'une table ne contenant que des index pour une clé fournie par l'utilisateur consiste à identifier un noeud feuille correspondant à la clé, et à lire une rangée de données à partir de l'entrée d'index, ainsi que toute partie résiduelle à partir de la zone de dépassement de capacité lorsque la rangée dépasse la taille déterminée.

Abstract: In an image recording apparatus, if a main sheet
feed roller is displaced during rotation thereof, a
carrier contacted with an outer peripheral surface of
the main sheet feed roller via a pressure plate is
rotated around a guide shaft upwardly or downwardly.
As a result, a position of a nozzle of a recording head
held by the carrier is changed. Further, a platen is
rotated around support shafts upwardly or downwardly in
response to rotation of the carrier around the guide
shaft. As a result, a position of a recording surface
of the platen. In this way, even if the main sheet
feed roller is displaced during rotation thereof, a
distance between the nozzle surface of the recording
head and a recording medium on the recording surface of
the platen is always kept constant.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display comprises, in order from the viewing side, a first
glass substrate 10 carrying an electrode 12, a dichroic liquid crystal layer
16 provided with suitable alignment layers 14, 18, a half wave retarding
layer 30, a quarter wave retarding layer 20, a reflector 24 and a second
glass substrate 28 carrying an electrode 26. In use, in one of its states, the
dichroic liquid crystal layer 16 absorbs a component of the light incident
thereon, the transmitted component being plane polarised. The polarised
light is incident upon the retarding layer 20 which converts the plane
polarised light to circularly polarised light, this light being reflected and
converted back to plane polarised light polarised in a direction
perpendicular to the original plane of polarisation on returning through
the retarding layer 20. Such polarised light is absorbed by the dichroic
dye, no light being transmitted by the cell towards the viewer. The
presence of the layer 30 improves the achromaticity of and light
absorption in the dark state. In another state, the dichroic dye does not
absorb, and hence does not polarise, the light, the cell then transmitting
light to the viewer.
