Abstract: An electrophotographic method and an apparatus employed for effecting the method, in which a photoreceptor drum having a fixed magnet member (MIR) in it is employed. After forming an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the photoreceptor drum (P1), the photoreceptor surface is brought into contact with the magnetic developing material (O) within a developing material hopper (H1) so as to attract the developing material onto the surface of the photoreceptor drum by magnetic force. When the photoreceptor surface further passes an electrode roller (R1), the toner remains only at the image portion for development into a visible toner image. As a force for removing the magnetic developing material from the photoreceptor surface, a resultant force of a magnetic force connecting the photoreceptor drum and the electrode roller and an electrostatic force connecting the photoreceptor drum and the electrode roller, is employed. Thus, the present invention provides the novel electrophotographic method and the apparatus for executing the method, which is simple in construction and a compact in size, and capable of providing images with a high resolution.

Abstract: An improved method and system is described for generalized handling of conditions occurring during program execution in a computer system having a multi-language Condition Manager (CM). A general signaling routine having object code for an external entry point suitable for linking to application programs written in any language supporting external calls is used. The signaling routine may be used by programs to eliminate the step of checking return codes from subroutines by coding the subroutine to automatically signal the proper condition to the CM which in conjunction with user defined condition handlers takes proper actions in response to the condition. A general condition token which may be used as a feedback token is defined as a condition identifier, a format code for the condition identifier, a severity code for the condition, a control code for a facility identifier, a facility identifier and an optional handle for instance specific information. The signaling routine and the feedback token are used by subroutines which can optionally provide for passing an address, where a feedback token can be stored. The subroutine signals conditions if the severity of the condition is greater than a threshold or else stores a feedback token at the address.

Abstract: Two transistors (T1, T2) have their bases connected to respective inputs (A, B). The collector of one transistor is tied to a supply voltage (Va) through a resonator (L1, C1) and also to the base of the other transistor via a capacitor (C2), while the other transistor has its collector directly tied to the supply voltage. The emitters of both transistors are connected to each other and to ground through a common resistor (R3). For comparison of multiple input signals, these may be sampled and converted in parallel/serial converters (PSA, PSB), each having a respective parallel input (A1 to AN, B1 to BN) for homologously receiving the signals under monitoring, and each having a single output line (UA, UB) leading to one of the two main inputs (A, B). The two converters are controlled by respective conversion enabling signals (ACQA, ACQB) which are synchronized with each other and which have a period (TC) shorter than the shortest period of the signals under monitoring (TP) divided by the number of signals under monitoring plus 2.

Abstract: The clamping device has a base (1), to be fixed to the workplace of the processing machine, and a work carrier (2) which can be mounted and clamped on the base. Orientation elements (13 - 20), interacting in pairs, at the base and at the work carrier orientate the work carrier (2) in three coordinate axes (X, Y, Z) perpendicular to one another and at the correct angle onto the base (1). There are three linear pairs (15, 16; 17, 18; 19, 20) of orientation elements for establishing the position in a coordinate plane (X-Y). Two of them are arranged at two opposite end areas of the device and together establish the position in the coordinate axis (Y) running transversely to the connecting line of the same. The third pair of orientation elements is arranged in the centre between the other two and establishes the position in the other coordinate axis (X). To clamp the work carrier in place, two clamping members (40, 41) are provided on the base (1). The clamping members (40, 41) are each arranged between an end linear pair of orientation elements and the centre linear pair of orientation elements. In this way, a compact type of construction of the clamping device and increased loading capacity of the same can be achieved with a minimum of linear pairs of orientation elements. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A trouble detecting system for an internal combustion engine. The system utilizes an air/fuel ratio feedback control loop. Namely, feedback factors #nKLAF operate to absorb the air/fuel ratio variance between cylinders and to converge the individual cylinders' air/fuel ratios to the confluence point air/fuel ratio, while another feedback factor KLAF operates to converge the confluence point air/fuel ratio to a desired air/fuel ratio, converging all cylinders' air/fuel ratios to the desired air/fuel ratio. With this arrangement, any of the feedback factors #nKLAF for a certain cylinder becomes a prescribed value, it can therefore be assumed that any abnormality would occur in a part such as the fuel injector which would affect the air/fuel ratio in the cylinder concerned. Similarly, if the confluence point air/fuel ratio feedback factor KLAF becomes another prescribed value, it can be assumed that any abnormality would occur in a part such as the fuel pressure system which would affect the air/fuel ratios of all the cylinders. By discriminating these factors, troubles can be detected immediately and accurately.

Abstract: A QPSK modulation signal is processed with frequency conversion into an IF signal by a channel selection circuit, and then is converted into a baseband signal by a quadrature demodulator. The baseband signal has a wave thereof shaped by DTFs and then sent to a carrier recovery circuit. An offset frequency of the IF signal detected by an AFC circuit is compensated for by a baseband frequency converter including a complex multiplier and a DVCO. The frequency tracking circuit detects whether an operating frequency of another DVCO in the carrier recovery circuit goes beyond a range. By tracking an oscillation frequency of the DVCO in the baseband frequency converter so as not to go beyond the reference value, frequency deviation of the spectrum of signals which are input to the DTFs is controlled not to go beyond the reference value. By offsetting a frequency dividing ratio of a variable frequency divider of the channel selection circuit by an amount corresponding to the offset frequency of the IF signal detected by the frequency detector, the frequency deviation of the QPSK modulation signal can be compensated for whichever channel is selected.
