Abstract: A raster output scanning system is disclosed which utilizes two light beams to double scan two scan lines on a photoreceptor in order to generate three exposure levels required for a tri-level printing system. In the raster output scanner of this invention, the two light beams scan two separate scan lines. At the completion of the simultaneous scanning of two light beams when the first light beam starts to scan a new scan line, the second light beam start to scan the scan line that the first light beam just completed scanning. In this invention the first light beam generates two exposure levels and the second light beam adds additional exposure to the second exposure level in order to generate a third exposure level. The same method can be utilized to generate additional levels for printing systems with more xerographic levels than three.

Abstract: Strain in a workpiece W is measured by sensing changes in spectral patterns produced by laser beams directed onto the workpiece. Lasers 11 and 21 direct beams B1 and B2 perpendicularly onto the surface of the workpiece at points spaced along the direction of strain. The different frequencies of the two beams are selected by filters 13 and 23 so that sensors 12 and 22 receive reflected light from the beams B1 and B2 respectively. The difference between the displacements of the spectral patterns detected by sensors 12 and 22 provides a measure of strain and is calculated by a computer 30 fed with the outputs of the sensors through A/D converters 14 and 24.

Abstract: A magneto-optical recording medium includes a readout layer has in-plane magnetization at room temperature and in which a transition occurs from in-plane magnetization to perpendicular magnetization when temperature thereof is raised, and a recording layer for recording thereon information. The composition of the readout layer varies in a direction perpendicular to the surface thereof, and in the readout layer, the Co density on the light incident side is higher than the Co density on the interface between the readout layer and the recording layer. Therefore, the Curie temperature on the reproducing light incident side of the readout layer is high and the the polar Kerr rotation angle in reproducing increases, thereby achieving improvements in a reproducing signal quality. On the other hand, since the Curie temperature on the interface is low, the shift of the threshold temperature at which a transition occurs from in-plane to perpendicular by the magnetic interaction between the layers can be suppressed, thereby achieving a high quality reproducing signal without changing the laser power required for reproduction very much.

Abstract: Apparatus for applying atrial and ventricular therapies to the heart of a patient using an implanted cardiac stimulating device. Atrial and ventricular heart rates are monitored and analyzed to determine whether the patient is suffering from an atrial or ventricular arrhythmia and to determine what type of therapy is appropriate to apply to the heart. Atrial and ventricular heart rates are compared to determine if the ventricular heart rate exceeds the atrial heart rate and to determine whether the ventricular heart rate is stable. An early atrial stimulation pulse can also be applied to determine whether the ventricular heart rate follows the atrial heart rate. Atrial and ventricular therapies are applied to the heart based on these determinations.
