Title: Thermal print head control for printing serial bar codes
Inventor: HELMBOLD JAMES E
IPC: G08B5/22
Filed: 1990-01-22
Granted: 1999-11-09
Abstract: A printer for printing serial bar codes on a web of record members with a thermal print head is shown. The thermal print head is driven by a series of pulses having a constant duty cycle for each row of information printed. However, the number of pulses in the series is varied from row to row, in accordance with the status of the current row being printed as a bar row or a space row; with the status of at least one row immediately preceding the current row and at least one row immediately succeeding the current row; and with the number of bar rows previously printed.      By varying the number of pulses applied to the thermal print head and thus the amount of energy applied thereto, discontinuities in the serial bar code and any information, such as a human readable character, printed adjacent thereto are minimized.

Title: Access unit for local area network
Inventor: NISHIKAWA TOSHIYUKI
IPC: H04L12/42
Filed: 1990-10-01
Granted: 1998-08-18
Abstract: An access unit for a local area network with loop topology includes a pair of connectors, a relay circuit, a pair of transformers, a direct current signal extraction circuit, a constant current circuit, a controller, and a coil.  With the above arrangement, when a workstation connected to the access unit generates a composite signal having a DC signal, used for driving the relay circuit, superposed onto an AC signal for data transfer,  only the DC signal component is extracted by the direct current signal extraction circuit to be input into the controller of the access unit.  The relay circuit of the access unit is then operated.  Thus, the signal output from the workstation, the composite signal having the DC signal superposed on the AC signal, is applied to the concentrator, so that the DC signal contained within the composite signal activates the relay contact in the concentrator.  The DC signal superposed on the AC signal is output from the workstation and accordingly activates both the relay contact in the access unit and the relay contact connected thereto in the concentrator.

Title: Image processing method and apparatus
Inventor: KAJITA KOJI
IPC: H04N1/32
Filed: 1992-12-30
Granted: 1999-08-03
Abstract: An image processing apparatus for preventing counterfeiting by adding information to read image signals and arranging a mark indicative of a position where the information is added so that the additional information can be easily extracted.  An image processor processes full-colour image signals from a line sensor and a binarization circuit binarizes the signals using a pseudo half-tone processing.  A density judgment circuit judges the density of the image signals and controls a modulator which adds additional information.  The modulator refers to the contents of a ROM and changes dot positions in the binarized image signals based on the referred information and adds the additional information to the image signals.  A FIFO compensates image signals delayed by the density judgment circuit.
