Abstract: An improved technique for serializing access to multithreading unsafe resources is described. A baton manager is used to manage the serializing of accesses to a multithreading unsafe resource. For a thread to access the multithreading unsafe resource, the thread must first obtain a baton from the baton manager. Then, once the thread has finished accessing the multithreading unsafe resource, the thread releases the baton to the baton manager. Hence, by using the baton manager to manage the baton, accesses to multithreading unsafe resources are serialized while program crashes or deadlocks are minimized. The multithreading unsafe resource will typically have a plurality of baton objects associated therewith. The baton objects are objects of object-oriented programming. The baton manager will permit at most one of the baton objects for a given multithreading unsafe resource to own the baton at a time. The threads associated with the baton objects waiting to own the baton must wait until they receive the baton before they can access the multithreading unsafe resource.

Abstract: There is provided an image input apparatus which can quickly and easily move a camera head to a position that the operator intended, can adequately adjust the position of the camera head, can improve operability in the document photographing mode, and is easy to carry. The image input apparatus has a camera head (2) for inputting an image, support members (5, 6) coupled via a plurality of joint portions (4, 11, 12, 15, 16) so as to be able to support the camera head (2), and a base (14) for supporting the proximal end side of the support members (5, 6). When an image is input by the camera head (2), the camera head (2) can be held at a predetermined position and posture by each of the plurality of joint portions (4, 11, 12, 15, 16). A pivot support mechanism arranged between a camera unit and a support portion has a first support member (6) having two opposing projections (107), a second support member (8) arranged between the two projections (107), a pair of clamping members (104) arranged to clamp the two projections (107) between the second support member (8) and themselves, and a torque generation mechanism (102, 104, 105) for generating a torque between the second support member (8), the clamping members (104), and the projections (107). A pivot support mechanism arranged between a support portion and a base has a first support member (112, 113) having two opposing projections, a second support member 111 which is a planar member having a U-shaped section, and has two end portions respectively engaging with the two projections and a coupling portion for coupling these two end portions, and a torque generation mechanism (114, 116, 118, 119) arranged between the first and second support members (111, 112, 113). An opening portion through which the cable extends is formed on the coupling portion.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image carrying member for carrying an image, a developing unit for developing an electrostatic image on the image carrying member, and a toner storage unit for storing the toners and replenishing the toners to the developing unit. In the image forming apparatus, a residual quantity of the toners within the toner storage unit is detected, and a quantity of toners substantially replenished to the developing unit from the toner storage unit is integrated. When a deficiency of the toner residual quantity is detected during a consecutive image forming operation, there is stopped and inhibited the image forming operation when an integrated value of the replenishing toner quantity reaches a predetermined value since the deficiency of the toner residual quantity was detected.

Abstract: This invention relates to a vacuum cleaner nozzle. The nozzle comprises a nozzle body (10) having a nozzle opening (13) facing the surface to be cleaned and one or several scraper blades each comprising a single, strip shaped piece (16), made from rubber, plastic or some other elastic material. The blade has a first edge part (18) resting on said surface (19) and a second opposite edge part which is secured in a holder (17) or the like in the nozzle body and whose distance (A) from the surface is mainly constant when the scraper blade is moved forwards or rearwards on a hard surface. The length of the piece (16) extending towards the surface from the holder under free conditions is larger than said distance (A) so that the first edge part (18) during said movement will trail behind the holder seen in the direction of movement of the nozzle. The piece (16) has such a shape and such properties that when the direction of movement of the nozzle is reversed it serves as a soft spring for forces which from the surface (19) are applied on the first edge part (18) towards the holder (17).

Abstract: In a signal processing system, a signal coming from a microphone (2) is applied to a loudspeaker (6) via a signal processing system (4). Since the transfer function of the loudspeaker (6) to the listeners substantially corresponds to the transfer function from the loudspeaker (6) to the microphone (2), the signal processing system is arranged to include estimating means for estimating the transfer function from the loudspeaker (6) to the microphone (2). For equalizing the transfer function from the microphone (2) to the listeners, the equalizer is set to a transfer function that is reciprocal to the transfer function from the loudspeaker (6) to the microphone. Preferably, the estimating means for estimating the transfer function from the loudspeaker (6) to the microphone (2) are formed by an adaptive filter (16) which has a transfer function that approaches the transfer function from the loudspeaker (6) to the microphone (2).

Abstract: The method uses a laser beam which is passed through the bore of the die, which is rotated by a stepper motor, and the resulting diffraction pattern is recorded by a camera. Defects in the diffraction pattern may be related to faults in the bore of the die. The laser (14) beam is directed on the bore of the die (10), which is held in a fixture attached to a stepper motor (22), and the resulting circular diffraction pattern is focused by a lens (26) on to a charge-coupled device camera (16) as the die is rotated through pre-determined angles by the motor. The results are analyzed by a computer (18) and displayed on a screen (28). Defects in the bore roundness, smoothness, etc. distort the diffraction pattern.

Abstract: There is disclosed an all optics type semiconductor image storage apparatus provided with a superlattice semiconductor device. The superlattice semiconductor device comprises a superlattice layer, which is formed by alternately laminating a barrier layer and a quantum well layer, and the superlattice layer is interposed between two carrier confinement layers on a surface of a semiconductor substrate having an orientation different from the orientation (100). The device has an effect of modulating a light absorbance in the vicinity of an absorption edge by cancelling an internal electric field generated by a piezoelectric effect due to a distortion taking place when the superlattice layer is formed by carriers generated by light incident externally into the device. An image is stored so that, the light incident into the device in a first area of the device set at the first stable point is substantially transmitted, while the light incident into the device in a second area of the device set at the second stable point is prevented from being substantially transmitted.

A control circuit (7), e.g. a microprocessor, enables the reading of data via an external memory unit (16) from e.g. a smartcard (17), or from an internal store (12). The latter stores data relating to roads at national level while the information stored in the smartcard is specific to a particular region. In each case, a suitable classification term is stored along with the road-identifying data. Under the direction of the control circuit, data is extracted in response to received traffic messages to provide additional information. This can be in the form of road names instead of their alphanumeric designations. Versions in different languages may be stored together.

the pilot signal with one of pn codes selected, which
corresponds the transmitting antenna. The pilot signal and
data may be time-division-multiplexed in a time slot. Data
of the used antenna is transmitted by the base station by a

error check codes. In the downward time slot, the spectrum-spread
pilot signal is frequency-multiplexed with spectrum-spread
