Abstract: An image display device based on liquid crystal panels is arranged for outputting a high quality image, specifically one in which the problem of the shadow border between pixels has been remedied. Embodiments of the display device employ various techniques to address the problem. One solution, a multi-pixelating technique, surrounds pixels with virtual images of pixel, where both the spacing and the range of the multi-pixelating are precisely controllable. In other solution, the divergence of the light incident upon the liquid crystal panel is carefully controlled. or the light field emerging from the liquid crystal panel is modulated, in order to project a carefully controlled pixel image intensity distribution onto a diffusely scattering surface. The techniques developed are applicable to color liquid crystal panels as well, and can be employed to perform a precisely interpolated color mixing of neighboring pixels. Some of the embodiments employ a specially designed lighting unit for providing white parallel rays to the liquid crystal device. Because of advantages in areas of size, weight and image quality, the display device is particularly suitable to head mounted displays.

Abstract: A device (Fig 1) for generating the approximate coordinates (X,Y) of a straight line together with an error signal (R), for use in computer graphics, is modified to enable coordinate values to be obtained to greater accuracy. The error signal (R) and values of one coordinate (Y) to which the error signal relates are processed (13-16) by multiplication and addition (21) to bring both values to the same scale and to obtain values proportional to the true values of the one coordinate (Y). The said proportional values are then converted to actual values in an iterative process wherein a comparison (24) is made between a proportional value when multiplied (23) by a first number (T), and a second number (S) multiplied (19,20) to the same scale as the proportional value. One of the two numbers (T) is incremented until a valid comparison is obtained and the true value of the coordinate is expressed as the relationship between the two numbers (S/T).

Abstract: The present application provides each storage cell (12) in an automated storage and retrieval system (10) with a mark, such as a bar code label, which is detectable to a vision system when the cell is empty. Further, each item storable in a cell is also provided with a mark, such as a bar code label uniquely identifying the item, which is detectable by the vision system. During an inventory of the contents of the system, the vision system is moved across the openings of the cells and scans for the marks. If an item mark is detected, entries in a data table are made indicating the location of the cell being scanned and its occupied status. The identity of the item detected can also be entered into the data table. On the other hand, if a cell mark is detected, entries in a data table are made indicating the location of the cell being scanned and its empty status. If neither mark is detected at a cell, additional steps can be initiated to determine the status of the cell. Consequently, the location of each empty cell and each occupied cell can be positively identified and recorded in a single scanning operation. The identity of each stored item can also be recorded with its location in the same operation.

Abstract: A probe (6) is displaced relative to a recording medium (8) according to a drive voltage. A chip (7) is provided at an end of the probe (6). The chip (9) serves to form pits and projections on a surface of the recording medium (8) according to a recording voltage (Vp2) and serves to output a current signal responsive to the pits and projections with a reproducing voltage (Vp1) applied. A voltage generator (14, 15) generates the recording voltage and the reproducing voltage based on address and data signals. A sample-hold unit (20, 21) samples at a specified frequency a current signal obtained from a no-recording area (9) of the recording medium by the chip (7) and produces an output voltage signal. A reproducing unit (16) demodulates and reproduces increment and decrement of the current signal obtained from a recording area (10) of the recording medium by the chip (7). A control unit (22) controlles recording and reproduction. The control unit outputs such a drive voltage that the interval between the chip (7) and the recording medium (8) is maintained constant by feedback control based on the voltage signal derived from the sample-hold unit (20, 21). The control unit controlles the recording so that no-recording areas (9) and recording areas (10) are arranged alternately.

Abstract: The method involves multiplying two base band signals I and Q separately with two carrier waves, that have a 90 degree phase difference w.r.t. each other, and adding the two resulting partial IF signals to form an IF output signal. The two base band signals are filtered and sampled with a baud rate twice that of their frequency range. The samples of one base band signal are delayed with a time period of a quarter of the period of the IF signal. The delayed and the non-delayed base band samples are inverted and added to form a multiplexed signal. A forward oriented spectrum is obtained by switching first the Q base band signal, the I base band signal, the inverted Q base band signal and then the inverted I base band signal. A backwards oriented spectrum is obtained by switching first the I base band signal, the Q base band signal, the inverted I base band signal and then the inverted Q base band signal. The multiplexed signal is equalised and converted to an analog signal. The resulting signal is low-pass filtered and supplied to the IF output (ZFA).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved hydraulic coupling which forms contact seals to fluidly connect a tapered port (201) with a tube (203) having a threaded connecting portion (202). The contact seals may be metal-to-metal seals, or alternatively may include a resin polymer element. For connecting a tube (203) directly in the port (201), one embodiment of the invention includes an outwardly extending lip (206) on an expanded portion of the tube (203) and a tube nut rim (211) wherein the tube nut engages the expanded portion and by tightening the tube nut (204), the tube lip (206) deforms on the tapered port (215) and the tube nut rim (211) deforms on both the tapered port (215) and the tube (203). Another embodiment of the invention provides a fluid coupling for a tube (338) which is transverse to the port, allowing for flow redirection in the coupling similar to the flow redirection in prior art "banjo" couplings. The body of the transverse coupling includes a lip (353) which deforms on the tapered surface of the port (303), and the body also includes a tapered surface (360) on which a rim (359) of the bolt (350) contacts, thereby providing a contact seal at both potential leak points. Optionally, o-rings (323, 322) may be added to provide additional seals. Both embodiments may be designed not to seal without the application of tool generated torques.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus of the present invention includes a toner carrier, a counter electrode, and a control electrode, which have the same potential as a ground potential of the image forming apparatus during a non-operational period while a flight electric field-use operational voltage and control voltages are not applied. During an operational period while the operational voltage and the control voltages are applied, a flight suppressing voltage for suppressing flight of the toner in the control voltages is first applied to the control voltage, and thereafter the operational voltage is applied to the counter electrode. When the application of the operational voltage and the control voltage are suspended, the flight suppressing voltage is first applied as the control voltage, then the application of the operational voltage is suspended, and thereafter the application of the flight suppressing voltage is suspended. With the control thus carried out, the flight of unnecessary toner is suppressed, thereby ensuring that images of high quality are obtained.

Then comes an alternating even coating of positive and negative electrodes so that the connecting strips lie on top of each other forming an electrode packet.
