Abstract: A rotary laser system comprising a body (1), and a plurality of object reflectors including a first object reflector (2) and a second object reflector (3). The body (1) includes a rotating unit for emitting light to the object reflectors; a detector for detecting the reflection from the object reflectors, the reflection being incident upon the body through the rotating unit; and a detecting circuit for discriminating the object reflectors depending on the output of the detector, so that the location and range to be scanned with a laser beam may be determined on the basis of the detection result. The reflection surface of each object reflector is divided into at least two. The marking operation can be accurately carried out by reciprocal scanning to confirm the position to be irradiated on the first object reflector while confirming the scanned position on the second object reflector. The dislocation, if any, of the rotary laser system after installed can be easily detected and corrected to ensure the accuracy in the marking operation.

Patent EP-0794845-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HOERMANSDOERFER GERD
IPC: B23B41/04
Filed: 1996-09-28
Abstract: The invention pertains to a special process and devices for the production preferably by machining of workpieces with non-circular outer and inner contours such as squares, hexagons, ellipses, polygons and the like, or eccentric circular bores and/or tappets. In the claimed process, the workpiece is rotated at constant angular velocity while a tool (e.g. the blade of a lathe tool) set eccentrically in relation to the workpiece is moved without rotating about its own axis at controllable speed in a circular path, workpiece and tool being moved towards one another in cycles with the appropriate advance. This ensures that apart from a small cuttings volume for each advance, very narrow tolerances can be set. The associated device, which has a special gear and optionally an integrated cross slide unit, gimbal-mounted yaw head or eccentric spindle, can be used as a compact tool unit for rotary and milling machines and the like.

Inventor: DUPONT PIERRE B
IPC: H04L12/52
Filed: 1996-11-19
Abstract: A method and apparatus for accessing a communication system relies on the use of varying access probabilities for subscribers or messages of varying priority. A serving infrastructure entity (110) determines access probabilities in response to known system parameters like the current rate of access attempts for each priority class of user/message. Values representative of these access probabilities are then transmitted to the subscriber unit(s) (105), for example by use of a system broadcast channel or control channels. These values are then used by the subscriber units in determining when to access an uplink channel. A temporal and/or proportional priority distribution approach is preferably used in determining the access values. As a result of this contention-based prioritization, an expedited access is achieved by higher priority units/traffic, thus increasing their throughput.

Abstract: The present invention provides a carrier for developer of an electrostatic latent image and related technologies. The carrier is excellent in the ability to impart charge suitably and stably to toner and has a structure durable enough to maintain the ability for a long period of time such that the structure can prevent the toner from being adhered onto the carrier surface for a long period of time. 
     The carrier comprises a core covered with a resin coating layer containing resin particles and an electroconductive fine powder in the form of a dispersion in a matrix resin. 
     The carrier can be produced by a method comprising the steps of preparing a coating solution by placing materials in a solvent which can dissolve the matrix resin, but cannot dissolve the resin particles, dispersing the particles of the resin, applying the solution to a core and removing the solvent. A high-quality image can be formed by use of the developer comprising the carrier and the toner.

Abstract: A control system (400) is provided for use with an actuator in a load-positioning assembly. The actuator (600) and its load (800) are quickly and accurately driven to a target position using dual control modes. When the distance from the target position is large, a speed control mode is used. In this mode, the actuator is operated according to a speed demand profile which is a function of a programmable maximum speed and the distance remaining to the target position. When the distance to the target position is small, a stepping mode is selected for final positioning of the actuator and its load.

Filed: 1997-02-20
Abstract: Zur Erfassung des intracraniellen Drucks im Schädel eines Probanden wird vorgeschlagen, am Schädel mindestens zwei Elektroden (1, 2) so zu befestigen, daß sie einen elektrischen Kontakt zum Schädel haben. Über eine Messeinrichtung (10) wird der zeitliche Verlauf eines elektrischen Widerstandes und/oder einer Kapazität zwischen den zwei Elektroden (1, 2) als elektrisches Signal (p(t)) gewonnen. Ein, einem Blutdruckmaximum entsprechend einer Systole mit einer im wesentlichen gleichbleibenden Verzögerung folgender Extremwert des elektrischen Signals wird als erster Amplitudenwert bestimmt. Ein zweiter Amplitudenwert wird aus dem elektrischen Signal (p(t)) gewonnen. Dieser Wert wird dort angenommen, wo das elektrische Signal zum ersten Mal nach dem ersten Amplitudenwert entweder ein Maximum oder einen Wendepunkt hat. Ein dritter Amplitudenwert wird aus dem elektrischen Signal nach dem zweiten Amplitudenwert gewonnen. Aus den Amplitudenwerten wird ein normierter Druckmeßwert zur weiteren Verwendung gewonnen. Durch diese Art der Messung ist es möglich, den intracraniellen Druck eines Probanden auf einfache, schnelle und kostengünstige Weise festzustellen und auch über längere Zeit hinweg zu beobachten, ohne den Probanden hierbei zu belasten.

Abstract: An image coder (1) is equipped with a coding controller (112a) which
produces a transmittance coding parameter (121) for controlling the coding
processing of a transmittance signal, based on a picture element value coding
parameter (104) for controlling the coding processing of a picture element
value signal and coding-processes the transmittance signal (102) based on a
transmittance coding parameter (121), as shown in the Figure. In such
constitution of image coder (1), it becomes possible to control the quality of
a picture obtained from the transmittance signal of each image, according to
the quality of a picture obtained from the picture element value signal of
each image in a composite image, whereby redundant information in a
transmittance coded signal (106) obtained by coding that transmittance
signal can be curtailed, without damaging the picture quality of individual
images, consequently the image signal can be recorded and transmitted
without lowering the picture quality with fewer bits.
