Abstract: Apparatus and method for diagnosing a fuel supply system of an
internal combustion engine wherein a compensation amount
(qcy) for each cylinder is determined on the basis of a deviation
(DNE) of an actual operating state of the engine with respect to a
desired operating state thereof, and the fuel supply system is
feedback-controlled by compensating a commanded value (QFIN)
of a quantity of injection of a fuel by the fuel supply system into
the internal combustion engine, according to the compensation
amount. The apparatus and method include respectively include
a diagnosing device (52) and a diagnostic step for effecting a
diagnostic compulsory adjustment (in steps S590 and S600) of an
operating condition of the fuel supply system for each cylinder
when the absolute value of the compensation amount (qcy)
exceeds a predetermined threshold (A) (when affirmative
decision is obtained in step S550), and for diagnosing the fuel
supply system on the basis of a speed variation of the engine
cause by the adjustment.

Abstract: A switching circuit (90) configured to substantially linearly conduct current
between a source (101) and a load (103) includes a switching device (102)
and a steering circuit (103). The switching device (102) has a conductive
state in which a first portion of the current flows between the source and the
load, the conductive state being dependent on the magnitude of the current.
The steering circuit (103) has a conductive state in which a second portion of
the current flows, such that substantially the entire current is conducted
between the source and the load. The switching circuit is particularly suited
for use in a magnetic resonance imaging system to conduct gradient current
between the gradient amplifiers and the gradient coils.

Abstract: In a thermal printer with a drawer-type paper holder, a means is
provided, which facilitates the loading of recording paper, reduces
the number of parts, and improves the precision in positioning a
thermal head (3) and a platen roller, a thermal printer is composed
of a first frame (1) by which the thermal head (3) is rotatably supported
so that recording paper (8) is brought into pressure contact with
a platen roller (4) by a biasing member (5) and a second frame (2) that
pivotably supports the platen roller (4), is opened and closed in
parallel to the first frame (1), and contains a recording rolled paper
(8a). The thermal printer has a configuration in which a first cam

Abstract: Data representing a postal address (30) is retrieved from
a coded address database (6) representing, in the form of a
tree of coded postal address elements (27, 28, 29), a
multiplicity of postal addresses. A dictionary (4) formed as
a trie data structure is provided, the path from the root node
(10) to the leaf nodes (11) representing respective postal
address elements. A processor (2) receives input data (8)
comprising one or more input terms (8a, 8b) for finding a
postal address (30) represented in the address database (6).
The processor (2) searches the dictionary (4) for entries (31)
exactly corresponding to the search terms and for entries
(32a, 32b, 32c) allowing for the possibility of the input data
containing one or more errors. The processor then finds, by
reference to a location index (5), the matched coded postal
address elements (27a, 27b, 28a, 28b, 28c) corresponding to
the entries (31, 32a, 32b, 32c) in the dictionary (4)
determined by the processor (2) as corresponding to the input
terms (8a, 8b). The processor (2) then determines which of
the matched postal address elements (27a, 27b, 28a, 28b, 28c)
belong to the same address (30) and then with reference to a
separate decoding index (7) decodes the address elements to
output a full and correctly formatted postal address (9).

Abstract: Methods (450, 750) are disclosed for embedding a watermark into an image (400, 700).
The watermark comprises at least one basis pattern. A real part of the basis pattern(s)
(410, 710) is added to the image (400, 700) to form a watermarked image (420, 730). The
basis pattern(s) has scale and rotation invariant properties. The pattern(s) is preferably
added to the image at a low intensity to make the pattern(s) invisible or imperceptible to
the human visual system under normal viewing conditions. Methods (800, 900) are also
disclosed for detecting a watermark from a watermarked image (810, 910). The
watermark image (810, 910) is correlated with the basis pattern to provide a result image
(830, 950). Peaks in the result image (830, 950) correspond with positions where the
basis pattern was detected in the watermarked image (830, 950)

Abstract: A method of and apparatus for synchronous control of a leading
element (7) and a follower element (8) in which synchronism is started smoothly and a
mechanical shock at the start of synchronism is reduced. When the follower
element is started to move to be synchronized with the leading element, motion
of the follower element is started before the follower element reaches a start
position of the synchronism, and brought into synchronism with the leading
element at the start position of synchronism. A positional relationship
between the leading element and the follower element in synchronism, and a
start position for starting the synchronism of the follower element and the
leading element is set. An acceleration control of the follower element is
performed between a motion start position preceding the start position of the
synchronism and the start position of the synchronism. A position control of
the follower element is performed based on position data of the leading
element and the set positional relationship after the follower element reaches
the start position of the synchronism.

Abstract: The invention provides a plate-shaped polarized
light separation device that has a repetitive structure
of polarized light separation film surfaces (2) and
reflective film surfaces (5) arranged alternately at a
fine pitch, along with a projection display apparatus
that uses this polarized light separation device. In
the process of manufacturing the polarized light
separation device, first a glass block (19) is formed by
alternately pasting together plate glass (1) with a
polarized light separation film (2) made up of a multi-layer
thin film of inorganic material upon its surface
and plate glass (4) with a reflecting film (5) upon its
surface, and this glass block (19) is cut obliquely (14,
15, 16) to the pasted surfaces. A projection that is
usable at the time of the positioning of the
polarization beam splitter may be provided on at least
one side of this plate-shaped block that is thus cut
out. By providing a λ/2 phase plate on portions of the
light exit surface of this polarized light separation
device, one obtains a polarized light separation device
that takes light from a light source and emits it as a
light flux having only one direction of polarization,
either S-polarized light or P-polarized light. Such a
polarized light separation device can be used in a
projection display apparatus.

Abstract: In an image forming apparatus of the present invention, the voltage
of a chargeable layer (2b) of an image carrier (2) at the portion to be in contact
with writing electrodes (3b) is adjusted by a surface potential adjusting
member (8) which is disposed to be in contact with the chargeable layer (2b)
between the writing electrodes (3b) and a transfer roller (6a). That is, even if
the reverse charge injection occurs because the transfer voltage is applied
to the transfer roller (6a) and the transfer roller (6a) is in contact with the
chargeable layer (2b) of the image carrier (2) at an interval between a printed
paper (5) and the next paper (5), the potential of the chargeable layer (2b) at the
portion to be in contact with the writing electrodes (3b) is adjusted not to
exceed the withstand voltage of IC drivers (7) of the writing electrodes (3b) by
the surface potential adjusting member (8). Therefore, this prevents the
writing head (3) from being broken, prevents the production of ghost image,
and further inhibits voltage drop due to discharge between the image carrier
and the writing electrodes during the process of writing a latent image,
thereby preventing the electrostatic latent image from being in disorder.
