Abstract: An apparatus (10) for spraying powder coating material includes a rotatable turret (14) which moves articles (12) to and from a work station (16). A powder spray gun (18) is operable to spray an annular pattern onto each of the articles (12) in turn while the article (12) is at the work station (16). The powder flows through the spray gun (18) as a series of pulses. An excess powder collector draws a flow of powder away from the work station (16). The powder spray gun (18) is mounted on a three axis adjustment assembly to enable the powder spray gun nozzle (52) to be accurately positioned relative to an article (12) at the work station (16).

Abstract: Apparatus for cleaning residual toner and paper fiber residue from a biased transfer roll (BTR) (20) in an electrophotographic apparatus, using high velocity air and substantially contactless flexible biased conductive shims (26). The high velocity air flow between the BTR and two thin conductive flex-shims is created by means of a blower (53) that evacuates the air in a vacuum chamber (22) in the apparatus. The high velocity air, in combination with the electrically biased BTR and flex-shims, removes residue from the BTR surface and carries it into the vacuum chamber and deposits the residue in a filter bag. The BTR biased shim cleaner system is low cost, efficient and significantly smaller than current BTR cleaning devices.

Abstract: A frequency stabilization method of a semiconductor laser is provided. A driving current, a forward voltage and an output light power of the laser mounted on a heat sink is detected. A temperature of the heat sink is also detected. A consumption power of the laser is obtained from the driving current and voltage thus detected, providing a relationship between the output light power and the consumption power. The driving current is controlled so that the output light power is kept constant, and the temperature of the heat sink is controlled based on the relationship so that a temperature of an active layer of the laser is maintained. The output light power is kept constant and at the same time, any temperature change of the active layer is cancelled through the temperature control of the heat sink. Even if the consumption power changes due to an leakage current and/or a recombination current without luminescence to maintain the output light power during long time operation, the temperature of the active layer is maintained by cancelling the consumption power change through the temperature control of the heat sink. Thus, the oscillation frequency of the semiconductor laser can be stabilized at a given value.

Abstract: A system and method for processing test measurements collected from an internal combustion engine that is cold-tested for diagnostic purposes. Test measurements are collected from an engine. The test measurements are "pre-processed" by filtering and subsampling techniques so that Principal Component Analysis can be applied to condense the quantity of test measurements while still retaining a statistically accurate indication of a majority of the original measurements. The pre-processed test measurements are then passed through one or more classifiers including: a Neural Network classifier (702), a Fuzzy Logic classifier (706), a cluster-based classifier (704) (or "Spherical" classifier) and a Genetic Program classifier (708). Results from these classifiers can be used to obtain a verdict about an engine (i.e., whether the engine is "normal" or "faulty").

Abstract: The present invention discloses an improved latch circuit. In the latch circuit, a composite gate takes in a basic clock signal and a delayed clock signal which is delayed by a delay circuit for a specific amount with respect to the basic clock signal, and puts out to a second drive circuit a first signal identical in waveform with the basic clock signal, and further puts out to a first drive circuit a second signal that is delayed in the rising timing with respect to the first signal. As a result of such arrangement, when a transition is made from a feedback period during which an input switch has an off state while a feedback switch has an on state to a sampling period during which the input switch has an on state while the feedback switch has an off state, neither the input switch nor the feedback switch has an on state.

Abstract: A signal processing circuit (10) performs a sample and hold (16) of an input signal (14) and stores a maximum value of the input signal (18). A guardband signal (21) is developed that is less than the maximum value that is stored. The input signal is compared to the guardband signal to determine if the input signal is above or below the guardband signal. A threshold signal (25) is developed by taking a percentage of the maximum value that is stored. The input signal is compared to the threshold signal to regenerate the input waveform. If the input signal is below the guardband signal and above the threshold signal, the sample and hold circuit is reset to acquire a new maximum value of the input signal so that a new threshold can be used for regenerating the input signal.
