Abstract: A system for displaying the residual capacity of a secondary battery (1) so as to update the battery capacity when the battery discharges from its full charged condition to a predetermined voltage level, in which this predetermined voltage is selected to be sufficiently higher than the operation halting voltage of a portable electrical apparatus to be connected, and the quantity of electricity discharged until the predetermined voltage level is reached is suitably corrected to determine the newest battery capacity, so that the battery capacity can be accurately updated under the actual operating condition with a high frequency and high precision.

Abstract: An ink cartridge for a thermal ink jet printer contains a collapsible ink reservoir (5) which is kept under negative pressure by a pressure regulator (30) to prevent ink leakage. The reservoir has a pair of flexible plastic membrane ink bag sidewalls (22,24) connected to form an ink bag, and an ink pressure regulator (30) in the bag. The pressure regulator comprises a pair of spaced parallel side plates (40,50) urged apart by a spring (60) toward the adjacent bag sidewalls (22,24) whereby the reservoir is collapsible against the spring pressure to an essentially flat shape to permit substantially complete dispensation of ink from the bag. Inadvertent puncture of the thin bag walls (22,24) by the regulator is prevented by a protective edge guard (41,51) in the form of a layer of tough plastic bonded to the outer surfaces of the sideplates.

Abstract: In standard token-based LANs (e.g., FDDI, Token Ring) an equal share of the ring bandwidth is made available to each node. Certain nodes (e.g., bridges, routers, servers) require a larger representation (bandwidth) than other nodes. A surrogate (bridge/router) node is presented which achieves this in a standard compliant manner. The bridge/router may serve as a surrogate on each ring representing multiple stations from the other ring. The multiplicity of stations is adjusted either statically or dynamically to provide sufficient added bandwidth to the surrogate to reduce delay and packet loss characteristic of the conventional single station bridge or router. The increased bandwidth utilization and FDDI ring performance resulting from the implementation of this invention is transparent to the individual stations and the ring in a way that is advantageous to both single media and multimedia usages within defined network local and non-local areas.

Abstract: A thin-layer metallization structure in which the final gold layer is deposited by evaporation with the surface onto which it is evaporated maintained at an elevated temperature. The thin-film metallization pad structure is deposited onto a substrate (12), typically made of a ceramic or glass-ceramic the assembly mask through opening (23) of a metal mask (24). The assembly mask substrate is placed in an appropriate evaporation system which is pumped down to about 0,13 10 ⁻³Pa and heated to about 200° C for 15 to 30 minutes in order to outgas the assembly. In turn, the substrate is heated to 150° centigrade and an adhesion layer such as 20 nm layer (11) of chromium is deposited. Next, a cushion layer (13), such as copper, and a diffusion barrier layer (15), such as titanium, are deposited sequentially still by evaporation as the subtrate cools from the initial temperature of 150° C to about 100° C. The copper layer (13) is about 6 microns thick and the titanium layer (15) is about 1 micron thick. Now, the substrate is reheated to 200° C and a gold layer (17') of about 1 micron thick is deposited by evaporation onto the structure. The heat is then turned off and the assembly allowed to cool to 50° C or less. The gold layer (17)' encapsulates the underlying multi-layer structure to prevent oxidation and diffusion of copper and in turn, prevent corrosion. By evaporating the gold layer at an elevated substrate temperature, the gold atoms have a higher mobility, so that the gold is spread over the edges of the structure for perfect coverage thereof.

Abstract: A developer device is provided with a developer vessel for storing therein a developer material composed of toner particles and carrier granules. In the developer device, a target ratio of toner particles for a detected quantity of the developer material is computed. In the device, a toner concentration detector sensor is also provided for detecting the ratio of toner particles in the developer vessel. In order to set the detected toner ratio of toner particles equal to the target ratio, quantity of toner particles to be additionally supplied to the developer vessel is controlled. As a result, the ratio of toner particles to the developer material stored in the developer vessel can be maintained in a predetermined ratio, thereby ensuring a desirable image quality.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for rendering acrylic based negative photoresists resistant to hot alkaline permanganate etchant and the iron chloride etchant and for improving the adhesion of the photoresist to the substrate, yet does not require halogenated reagents to develop or strip the photoresist. It has been discovered that the degradation of acrylic based negative photoresists by the permanganate etchant may be overcome by exposing an imaged acrylic based negative photoresist to select wavelengths of actinic radiation either ultraviolet light that is rich in deep UV, about 254 nm wavelength; or infrared radiation from about 2.4 to about 8 microns. Where UV radiation is used, the photoresist is then baked to reduce undercutting of the photoresist. Thereafter, the photoresist is stripped using nonhalocarbon solvents.

Abstract: Desired-image information is modified by substituting plural chromatic (CMY) dots for single black (K) dots which are less conspicuous than a single chromatic dot, thereby reducing the conspicuousness of patterns arising through conventional halftoning. Replacement is performed while the image data for each pixel is in the form of a hue-plus-gray color vector having variable amounts of black, a secondary color, a primary color and white. The amount of black replaced depends on the amount of white available for removal from the vector: the replaced amount of black equalling either half the available amount of white or another fraction thereof. The corresponding amount of white is also removed. The system also replaces secondary color components in the color vector with primary colors in amounts dependent upon the amount of white remaining available after black replacement, but the desired amount is either the full amount or a fraction of the secondary. The resulting color-replaced vector is halftoned by dithering on the vector: a color vector associated with each pixel in a color image is compared to a value at some particular cell of a dither mask. This process selects an individual color component of the vector for printing. Preferably used is a representation of the vector with color components in a sequence simulating a gray scale.
