Inventor: TANAKA TOMOAKI
IPC: G03G15/01
Filed: 1997-07-15
Abstract: An electrostatic recording system using an endless
dielectric belt (10) performs electrification of a
sheet of paper (3) and the belt (10) so that paper is
not wound and caught by the photoconductor drums (12a -
12d) as the paper passes between each drum and its
associated transfer roller (20a - 20d). The transfer
voltage (V TB , V TC , V TM , V TY ) can be lowered so as to
smoothly separate the sheet of paper (3) from the belt
(10). The electrostatic recording system includes
first electrifying means (30) for applying a voltage
(HV1) to only the dielectric belt (10) at a stage
before the sheet of paper (3) is laid on the belt and
second electrifying means (40) for applying a voltage
(HV2) to the sheet of paper (3) and the dielectric belt
(10) after the sheet of paper has been laid on the
belt.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un guichet automatique bancaire (10) comportant un appareil (26) de transport et de retrait de quittance. Ce guichet comprend une imprimante (30) qui délivre une feuille (108) constituant une quittance de transaction pour une transaction opérée à ce guichet. La feuille est transportée par contact avec les brins inférieurs de deux courroies (50, 52) placées transversalement. Une porte (76) est placée de façon adjacente à l'imprimante et montée pivotante. Cette porte comporte des fentes (78) qui s'étendent transversalement entre la surface extérieure (86) en forme d'arc et la surface intérieure (88) de la porte. Dans la première position de la porte, les brins de courroie s'étendent au travers des fentes. La mise en contact d'une feuille se déplaçant de l'imprimante vers l'extérieur en direction d'un orifice de sortie (118) fait passer la porte dans une deuxième position de rotation, dans laquelle la feuille passe par la porte. La feuille se déplace vers l'extérieur jusqu'à ce qu'elle atteigne l'orifice de sortie et s'étende au travers d'une ouverture (24), où elle est accessible à un utilisateur. Si un utilisateur ne prend pas sa feuille, les courroies déplacent la feuille en sens inverse.

Abstract: A three-layered prosody control description language is used to
insert prosodic feature control commands in a text at the positions of
characters or a character string to be added with non-verbal
information. The three-layered prosody control description language
is composed of: a semantic layer (S layer) having, as its prosodic
feature control commands, control commands each represented by a
word indicative of the meaning of non-verbal information; an
interpretation layer (I layer) having, as its prosodic feature control
commands, control commands which interpret the prosodic feature
control commands of the S layer and specify control of prosodic
parameters of speech; and a parameter layer (P layer) having
prosodic parameters which are objects of control by the prosodic
feature control commands of the I layer. The text is converted into a
prosodic parameter string through synthesis-by-rule. The prosodic
parameters corresponding to characters or character string to be
corrected are corrected by the prosodic feature control commands of
the I layer, and speech is synthesized from a parameter string
containing the corrected prosodic parameters.

for injecting liquid contrast media, is rotatably mountable on a
front wall of an injector housing with an interference fit and in
sealed relationship with respect thereto, with or without a
pressure jacket, by a first-quick release mechanism. At the same

syringe is essentially in the desired mounted position. The
syringe may include reinforcing ribs which also function as
volumetric gradations, and liquid media presence-or-absence
indicating dots which appear circular against a liquid media
background and oval-shaped against an air background. An injection
end of the syringe comprises an injector portion of reduced

Abstract: A satellite communications system, where a satellite 10
can pass messages between a user terminal 44 and an
earth station 38, as the satellite moves in an orbit 12
12' as indicated by arrow 46, comprises means for
measuring the position of the user terminal 44, on the
surface of the earth 14, relative to the nadir 50, by
means of doppler shift measurements and propagation
delay measurements between the satellite 10 and the
user terminal 44. Apparant positional errors, due to
movement of the user terminal 44 relative to the
surface of the earth 14, inducing its own doppler
shift, are compensated by repeated and improved
estimation of the velocity of the user terminal 44 and
use of the last determined estimation of the user
terminal 44 position, as modified by the estimated
movement of the user terminal on the basis of its best
guess velocity, as the start position for an improved
position and velocity estimation, until subsequent
estimations agree within predetermined limits.

Abstract: The document reading system passively analyzes a document to generate
margin or end notes of references to other documents that relate to annotated passages
in the document or to the entire document. The invention is responsive to the
annotation of a document to passively generate a query that retrieves documents that
have similar content to the annotated passage. The retrieved documents are available
to the reader through selectable links placed in the margin near the annotation.
Additionally, the invention provides end notes with links to documents that are
similar in content to the overall content of the annotated document. The invention
assists the reader by passively generating selectable links to related documents to

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a single-chip color CMOS image sensor with a
novel two or more line reading structure which is compatible with MOS fabrication
technology. The invention allows the simultaneous reading of line signals from two
rows of pixels so that combinations of signals from pixels in different rows may be
obtained without the use of an external delay line device. The sensor includes a pixel
array having superimposed thereon a color filter pattern and a two or more line
reading structure. The reading structure includes sets of storage capacitors on which
the pixel signals are stored, and a means for reading the signals from the capacitors in
such a way that signals from pixels in different rows may be combined. The reading
structure is external to the pixel array but may still be fabricated on the same CMOS
chip as the pixel array. By using a high-sensitivity interlace color structure that allows
complementary sets of every other row to be read during alternating even and odd
fields, the sensitivity of the device as a whole can be effectively doubled.
