Abstract: A DC power supply device maximizes voltage boosting performance according to the air conditioner load. In a DC power supply device for an air conditioner that rectifies an AC voltage from a AC power supply (1) to a predetermined DC voltage that is supplied to a load (11), the DC power supply device is feedback controlled so that the DC voltage equals the target voltage determined according to the speed of the compressor (9) and the operating mode of the air conditioner, and the target voltage used in the heating mode is set higher than the target voltage used in the cooling mode. When operating in the cooling mode, which requires operation under high outdoor temperature conditions, sufficient DC voltage can also be supplied in the heating mode, which requires a higher DC voltage when the outdoor temperature is low.

Abstract: La présente invention porte sur une nouvelle approche de remaillage pour des mailles de genre g qui surmonte les problèmes de distorsion. L'approche proposée repose sur un mappage continu d'une grille bidimensionnelle sur le modèle maillé tridimensionnel. Le critère de cette nouvelle maille peut être défini directement sur la grille bidimensionnelle. Le remaillage est invariant face à la maille originale. Du fait de l'analyse topologique, le mappage de la grille bidimensionnelle sur la maille tridimensionnelle réduit la distorsion au minimum et garantit la continuité. La grille bidimensionnelle, les formes des éléments et la densité (multirésolution) peuvent être modifiées directement, ce qui permet d'obtenir une approche modulaire.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés d'impression dynamique N-UP contrôlés par imprimante. Une imprimante améliorée comporte des caractéristiques servant à effectuer le réglage dynamique de paramètres, d'une tâche d'impression à tout point de cette dernière. Selon un aspect, cette imprimante configure une tâche d'impression pour un ensemble initial de paramètres d'impression, sans intervention du système hôte et peut reconfigurer ces paramètres pendant l'exécution de la tâche d'impression. Selon un autre aspect, ces réglages peuvent consister à régler la position relative de l'un ou l'autre des images N-UP indépendamment des autres images. Selon un autre aspect, le formatage de l'impression selon les paramètres d'impression par l'imprimante s'effectue après le tramage de l'impression en images de page logiques. Etant donné que le formatage est effectué après le tramage, les paramètres d'impression peuvent être modifiés en tout temps pendant l'impression.

Abstract: A security device is disclosed that has an image formed upon a substrate (1, 1b). The image has a first printed region (3, 3b) and a second different printed region (2, 2b) both printed with a same ink formulation of field alignable flakes (4b). At least one of the printed regions (2, 2b, 3, 3b) has optically variable effects. One of the first and second printed regions (2, 2b, 3, 3b) at least partially surrounds the other. The second printed region (2, 2b) is formed of thin parallel lines and the first printed region (3, 3b) has substantially wider lines than are printed in the second printed region (2, 2b). The area density of the ink in a line in the first group of wider lines is greater than the area density of a line in the second group of narrower lines. A surprising effect of this image is that particles or flakes (4b) in the ink are field aligned so as to produce a visible kinematic dynamic effect visible in the first region (3, 3b) and not visible in the second region (2, 2b) when the image is tilted or rotated.
