Patent EP-0776124-A2 (EP)
Inventor: STROEMMER PEKKA
IPC: H04N5/372
Filed: 1996-11-18
Abstract: The present invention concerns methods and apparatuses for imaging an object by detecting radiation reflected from and/or transmitted through the object (O;P;M) using an imaging sensor system. To perform an optimized selection between the imaging resolution and the sensitivity of the imaging sensor, the sensor system is configured by means of a control scheme based on combining, or binning, the radiation-responsive imaging elements of the imaging sensor along the rows and/or columns of the sensor matrix into clusters of a plurality of imaging elements. The sensor pixel charges, which represent the image information obtained from the individual imaging elements of said clusters, are straightforwardly binned into the clusters in their charge form. According to a second method of the invention, the TDI-mode imaging technique is applied and a mutual, relative motion is arranged between object to be imaged and the imaging sensor. The charge-mode image, which is formed from the object to be imaged on the CCD sensor elements, is transferred at the same speed with said relative movement and the image information gathered from the object is accumulated for an extended time simultaneously achieving an increased sensitivity of the sensor. The physical pixel size of the sensor is selected smaller than that required to achieve the maximum resolution required from sensor and that the image blur caused by the relative movement between the object to be imaged and the imaging sensor is reduced by shifting the pixel charges in synchronized steps corresponding to the physical size of the CCD sensor pixels, whereby the tracking of the relative movement between the object to be imaged and the CCD sensor occurs with maximum accuracy.

Abstract: The mesophilic restriction endonuclease AvaI and its isoschizomers derived from
 Anabaena  and  Anabaenopsis  have been found to support highly efficient amplification of
target nucleic acid sequences in thermophilic Strand Displacement Amplification (tSDA). The
maximum amplification factors observed occurred at temperatures which were previously
reported to result in reduced enzyme activity. As AvaI is an isoschizomer of BsoBI (a
thermophilic restriction endonuclease commonly used in tSDA), the invention provides an
alternative enzyme which is more readily available than BsoBI and does not require the
redesign of SDA amplification primers previously constructed for use in the BsoBI system.

Abstract: A system of multiparalleling a set of voltage source
power converters is provided in which any one of the converters
may assume the role of a master or a slave. The system can
survive the failure of either the master or any of the slaves.
A main controller issues PWM command signals to control the
current generated in the power converters. The PWM command
signal is modified for each power converter such that all of
the converters produce the substantially the same current, the
current generated in the master unit being used as a reference.
A current feedback signal is used to provide the main
controller with an accurate estimate of the total current
generated by the system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to free-ink type ink-jet pens. A dual-chambered housing forms ink accumulators which provide a local supply of ink for a printhead mechanism. The accumulators are fluidically coupled to an off-board ink reservoir by a valve mechanism. A pressure regulator mechanism is incorporated into a chamber for maintaining a predetermined gage set point back-pressure within the pen and for regulating the flow of ink from the reservoir by controlling the valve mechanism. A near linear force by biasing the regulator mechanism so as to balance it against a force exerted thereon by the ambient atmosphere via a vent when the valve mechanism is opened due to a force exerted by a differential between ambient atmospheric pressure and the bias force. The mechanism is insensitive to the rate of flow of ink through the valve.

Abstract: Traditionally, the operator must determine the type of
an image displayed on a screen and manually select one of various
kinds of effect processing for the type of the image. As is
generally known, however, such operations have a lack of accuracy
and are difficult for an untrained user to carry out. In
addition, the image is not correctly compensated for color
slippages over the entire gradation range. Furthermore, in the
case of image data including an abnormal element other than just
a color slippage, the image can not be corrected with a high
degree of efficiency. 
     At a step S102, a sample-count distribution of image data
is found for each color component by applying a thinning
technique on samples. At a step S116, a judgment as to whether
or not analogy exists among the sample-count distributions of
the color components is formed. A low degree of analogy is
regarded as an indicator which suggests that characteristics
recognized from the sample-count distributions shall naturally
be made uniform among the color components. In this case, the
characteristics are compensated for a color slippage included
therein by correcting an offset, putting an emphasis on the
contrast and correcting the brightness at steps S204 to S216
in order to produce a well pitched and good image from the image 
data with poor color reproducibility. In addition, since the
compensation and correction work is automated, even an untrained
user is capable of correcting the balance of color with ease.
Furthermore, at a step S205, an offset quantity reflecting a
degree of analogy is calculated for use in the compensation of
the characteristics for a color slippage.

Chaque DSM est associé à une pluralité de canaux D couplés chacun à un dispositif d'interface séparé, dans le même noeud ou dans un noeud différent, via une liaison permettant de recevoir et émettre des données de signalisation à un noeud d'un PBX prédéterminé, associé, de la pluralité de PBX. Chaque DSM est agencé de façon à analyser le message de signalisation d'appel reçu via un canal D et, sur la base des informations d'acheminement, soit réacheminer l'appel au même PBX ou à un PBX différent lié au même DSM lorsque les abonnés appelants ou appelés se trouvent dans les PBX liés au même DSM, soit acheminer l'appel vers un DSM à distance lorsque l'appel est acheminé entre des PBX à distance qui ne sont pas couplés au même DSM. Le DSM à distance, à son tour, achemine l'appel vers le PBX lié à ce DSM. Par conséquent, chaque DSM uniquement commande les appels adressés à un DSM associé à ce DSM, et lorsqu'un appel n'est pas adressé à un PBX associé à ce DSM, le DSM fait assurer la gestion de tous les appels par un DSM destinataire associé à un PBX auquel l'appel est adressé.
