Filed: 1990-12-20
Abstract: Four embodiments of a reluctance type rotational speed sensor are disclosed. In the first embodiment, an annular magnet circumscribes a sensing coil having a unitary rotor nested within it, and is disposed between two elements which comprise the stator. In a second embodiment, a magnet is disposed between two halves which comprise a rotor, the entire assembly nesting within a sensing coil and being disposed between the two stator elements. In the third embodiment, the rotor carries multiple magnets in an axially opposed position with respect to teeth formed on the stator. The magnetic flux in the magnetic circuit increases and decreases as the rotor magnets alternate between aligned and non-aligned positions enabling measurement of angular speed in accordance with the increase and decrease of magnetic flux. Any of the first three embodiments may be used, with minor modifications, in environments where a rotating shaft turns within a stationary bore, or where a rotating bore turns about a stationary shaft. The fourth embodiment incorporates the features of the first three and further includes a caliper-like stator and coil assembly which may be removed for service without requiring extensive disassembly.

Abstract: A lattice welding robot detects an X-axis slide position of X p  by an arc sensor of a welding torch, compares the value of X p  with a reference value of X 0  by a comparator (31), calculates a differential value of the value of X p  by a differentiator (32) and computes a travel speed correction amount ΔV from a difference between a comparator output value and a differentiator output value by a computing unit (36). The correction amount ΔV is added to an initial speed of each of inside wheels and outside wheels of a welding carriage to control each of driving motors (13, 14) for the inside wheels and the outside wheels by an adding speed command V in  and an adding speed command V out , respectively. Thereby, a rough guidance for the welding carriage to trace a weld line is performed.

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum dosierten Zuführen von Methanol und/oder Wasser aus einem Vorratsbehälter über eine Förderleitung zu einem Brennstoffzellensystem, wobei in der Förderleitung ein Dosierventil vorgesehen ist. Erfindungsgemäß wird mit Hilfe einer Förderpumpe ein konstanter Massenstrom aus dem Vorratsbehälter in die Förderleitung gefördert. Der Differenzdruck zwischen Förderleitung und Brennstoffzellensystem wird mit Hilfe eines Differenzdruckreglers, der in einer zwischen Förderleitung und Vorratsbehälter vorgesehenen Rückführleitung angeordnet ist, auf einen vorgegebenen Wert eingestellt. Die zugeführte Methanol- und/oder Wassermenge kann dann beispielsweise durch Variation der Öffnungs- und Schließzeiten eines als Dosierventil eingesetzten Magnetventils eingestellt werden. Weiterhin wird vorgeschlagen, in die Rückführleitung stromab der ersten Dosierstufe eine zweite Dosierstufe vorzusehen. Schließlich kann bei Verwendung von zwei separaten Dosiersystemen für das Methanol und für das Wasser ein gemeinsamer Pumpenmotor eingesetzt werden. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a scanning unit such as a facsimile machine, an automatic document feeder transports individual sheets from a stack of documents along a document path over a scanning window to an output tray. Precise co-planar referencing is provided between a pick roller mounted on a frame beneath a document path and a document separator mechanism mounted on an upper guide member which moves between an open position for allowing manual access to the document path to a closed position for scanning document sheets. An integrated sheet metal chassis on the upper guide member provides a direct reference path between a central portion of the chassis which carries the document separator mechanism as well as Z axis and Y-axis (media transport direction) reference datums on both side edges of the channels which are engaged by a rigid vertical reference arm. A latching device is located closely adjacent to the reference datums to securely hold the upper guide member in a predetermined closed position, as well as determine positioning in the X axis. A pair of pivotal arms at the post-scanning end of the chassis allow clearance in the X-axis and Y-axis while providing secondary referencing in the Z-axis.

Abstract: In an image processing method for processing an image including a plurality of pixels each having density data, a quadratic differential value is first calculated, based on differences in the density data between an object pixel and respective peripheral pixels around the object pixel. The square value SS of the quadratic differential value S and the sum ΣSS obtained by adding up the square values SS of quadratic differential values for continuous five pixels are employed as determination values (step n1). The square sum ΣSS is compared with respective threshold values a, b and d, and the square value SS is compared with respective threshold values c, e and f (steps n2 to n6 and n8). Based on these comparison results, it is judged which image area among a character image area, gray-scale image area and dotted image area the object pixel belongs to. As for the image area judgement concerning the dotted image area, the final judgement that the object pixel belongs to the dotted image area is made only when nine continuous pixels including the object pixel are all judged to belong to the dotted image area. Since the square values SS and square sum ΣSS take only a positive value, the threshold values are set only in a positive range, and hence the image processing can be simplified. Further, by employing the square sum ΣSS, the states of the peripheral pixels can be taken into consideration for the image area judgement.

Abstract: A method for enabling a plurality of Local Service Providers within common Numbering Plan Area (NPA) to serve Subscribers of the plurality Local Service Providers. The method includes the step of assigning to each Subscriber of a Local Service Provider within the common Numbering Plan Area (NPA) a unique three digit code, hereinafter referred to as a service provider area (SPA) code. The service provider area (SPA) code is used by the telephone system in the same manner presently used for routing calls made when a calling Subscriber dials the Numbering Plan Area (NPA) code of the called party. Here, however, the service provider area (SPA) code is not dialed by the calling Subscriber. The dialed directory number, NXX-XXXX, of a called Subscriber subscribed to a different local area provider, is sent to a database (DB). The database (DB) maintains a record of the relationships between the directory numbers of Subscribers and the service provider area (SPA) codes of the Subscribers. The database (DB) retrieves the service provider area (SPA) code associated with the dialed directory number presently serving the called Subscriber. The call is routed as SPA-NXX-XXXX. Because the ten digit format, SPA-NXX-XXXX, is the same as the present NPA-NXX-XXXX, ten digit format, existing signaling and routing mechanisms may be used to route the call. Thus, each one of the Subscribers of each one of the plurality of local area providers is assigned a common service provider area (SPA) code, each one of the Subscribers having a different service provider area (SPA) code.

Abstract: When an image is to be rotated, the image is divided into blocks each having a predetermined size, and rotation of the image is realized by rotation of the respective blocks and rotation in units of blocks over the entire image. In this case, lines included in each block are moved to a predetermined region so that the lines are continuous in the order of lines. In the region in which the lines are moved as described above, predetermined digit positions in the respective lines appear at intervals of pixels for one line irrespective of the digit positions. After the respective digits are set to have a predetermined positional relationship between lines, since a logic operation is simultaneously performed for a plurality of lines, a plurality of pixels can be simultaneously moved to have a positional relationship after rotation. Also, a plurality of sets of pixels having the positional relationship after rotation can be similarly, simultaneously moved.
