Title: Print area selection to fill paper when image and paper sizes do not match
Inventor: KIM WON-JUNG
IPC: H04N1/00
Filed: 2008-08-06
Abstract: A method of printing an image involves receiving the image from a data storage device and thereby printing the image via a photo printer, the method including the operations of determining whether a Paper Full printing option in which no space is left on a printing material is selected; when the Paper Full printing option is selected, comparing the aspect ratio of an image to be printed with the ratio of a currently set printing material; and when the ratios of the image and the printing material are different from each other, displaying a print area superimposed on the image on a display panel. The method of printing the image and photo-printing system using the method can provide users with a graphic environment for checking and re-setting a print area prior to printing the image, thereby preventing an important part of the image from being cropped due to mismatch between ratios of the image to be a print target and a printing material. Photo printing systems are also disclosed in which a data storage device, such as a camera, may communicate with a photo printer to set the print area.

Patent GB-2472242-A (GB)
Title: Coded aperture imaging
Inventor: RIDLEY KEVIN DENNIS
IPC: G01T1/29
Filed: 2009-07-30
Abstract: A coded aperture imaging (CAI) system incorporates a detector array 60 adjacent to a coded aperture mask 62 comprising a zone plate array. The mask 62 has light transmissive regions and opaque regions. The opaque regions are sufficiently absorbing that they prevent any significant radiation intensity being reflected at their interfaces and reaching the detector array 60 as detrimental background radiation. The coded aperture mask 62 is much thicker than a prior art equivalent, and radiation only passes through the mask 62 if it has an angle of incidence in a narrow range between rays 64. Consequently, the CAI system field of view is narrowed by making the mask 62 thicker; this causes the CAI system's point spread function (PSF) to have radiation intensity which reduces with change in angle of incidence away from the normal incidence direction and to reach a negligible level when truncated by a detector array edge. This allows optimal image reconstruction.

Title: Apertured diaphragms for use in the vicinity of RF ion guides
Inventor: BREKENFELD ANDREAS
IPC: H01J49/06
Filed: 2009-10-22
Abstract: Apertured diaphragms 27 & 29 between multipole ion guides 26, 28 & 30 are necessary in order to design differential pumping systems with low gas conductivity, to restrict the cross-section of ion beams, or to accelerate or focus ions between the guides. The invention consists in fabricating the apertured diaphragms 27 & 29 from high-resistance, weakly-conductive solid dielectric materials, or from a non-conducting dielectric with a weakly conductive surface layer, which prevent impinging ions from causing interfering electrical charges and allow the RF fields of the ion guides to freely pass therethrough. The radio-frequency fields continue uninterrupted through the high-resistance material to the next ion guide, and therefore the otherwise usual ion losses at the transitions between identical ion guides no longer occur. The weakly conductive material/layer should have a resistance of greater than 103ohmmeters, but preferably between 104 and 106 ohmmeters, and may comprise, for example, weakly doped silicon, or ceramics containing a small proportion of carbon.

Title: Method for producing a self-copying multi-layer paper product
IPC: B41L1/02
Filed: 1977-03-11
Abstract: To produce a self-copying multilayer paper product, a wide web (1) of paper is successively printed and provided with a copying layer in successive stations (2a, 2b, 3). In a further treatment station (4), the web (1) of paper is divided by longitudinal blades into a number of longitudinally aligned paper web sections (5), after which the said paper web sections are placed one on top of the other by means of deflection rods (6). These paper web sections, which are combined in groups to form endless multilayer forms, then reach a perforating and/or concertina folding station (8) in which transport perforations can also be applied. The finished forms are then conveyed onwards by conveyor belts (9). The method makes it possible to combine paper web sections having essentially the same paper properties so that they are virtually congruent with one another, in order to avoid uneven deformation of paper, such as shrinking in endless multilayer forms, to a substantial extent. <IMAGE>

Title: A radio beacon transmitter
IPC: G01S1/68
Filed: 1965-03-11
Abstract: 1,033,496. Radio signalling; keying carrier frequencies, transistor oscillators. NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO. March 11, 1965 [April 10, 1964], No. 10364/65. Headings H3R, H3T and H4L. A radio beacon is pulsed at a variable repetition frequency under the control of a multivibrator producing control pulses at a repetition frequency varying in accordance with the instantaneous amplitude of a repetitive variable potential signal, e.g. a sawtooth waveform. As shown, the sawtooth generator 12 includes a normally non-conducting unijunction transistor 35 and when the switch 31 is closed a capacitor 39 is charged via resistor 38 until the transistor 35 is triggered and discharges the capacitor so that the cycle is repeated. The resulting sawtooth waveform is inverted at 9 and varies the repetition frequency of multivibrator 11, operating at a considerably higher repetition frequency than the sawtooth generator, varying from 100o c/s. to 300 c/s. as the sawtooth voltage decreases. To key the R/F oscillator 5, a transistor 30 is connected so that when it is non-conducting the emitter-base bias is removed from the transistor 18 in the oscillator circuit, the transistor 30 being switched by the output pulses from the multivibrator 11. The base-emitter biasing of transistor 18 via diodes 26, 27 operated at or near saturation ensures that the collector current for transistor 18 remains reasonably constant with variation in the battery potential giving corresponding frequency stability. The output of the R/F oscillator 5 is supplied via a frequency-doubler 15 and amplifiers 6, 7 to the tuned output stage 8.

Abstract: 736,549. Controlling vehicles. DAIMLER-BENZ AKT.-GES. April 16, 1953 [April 16, 1952], No. 10486/53. Class 79(5). A motor vehicle combined accelerator and brake pedal comprises an accelerator member 10 pivotally mounted on a brake member 1 and rockable against spring action by the ball of the driver's foot, the member 10 actuating through abutments 12, 13 a coacting lever 15 having a fixed mounting and connected to the accelerator linkage (not shown), the pivot 8 of the member 10 being parallel to the pivot 2 of the brake member 1, and the heel of the foot bearing on the member 1 substantially at the pivot 8. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2 the master brake cylinder 7 is operated by the member 1 urged by a spring 4 against a stop 5. At its lower end the lever carries a heel member 3 and the member 10, the spring 4 being stronger than the spring associated with the member 10. The arrangement is such that movement of the member 10 by the ball of the driver's foot about the pivot 8 towards the position 10<SP>1</SP> opens the throttle, the direction of the pressure between the abutments 12, 13 passing through the pivot 2, and movement of the member 1 in a clockwise direction about the pivot 2 by pressure on the heel member 3 applies the brake, such movement moving the abutment 12 away from the abutment 13. In another embodiment, Figs. 3 and 4, a brake pedal member 101 and a clutch pedal 120 are pivoted coaxially at 102, the pedals being movable into a recess 119. Pivoted at 106 to the member 101 is the piston of the master brake cylinder 107, the member 101 being urged by a spring 140 against an adjustable stop 105. Pivoted at 108 to the member 101 is a plate 110 for operating the accelerator by means of the ball of the foot, a heel member 103 being provided on the member 101. Connected to the plate 110 is a rod 116 guided in or on the member 101. The rod carries a roller 117 in a fork 118, the roller being engaged with a two armed lever 115 pivoted on a fixed axis 114 so that movement of the member 101 to the position 101<SP>1</SP> to apply the brake does not effect throttle opening.
