Patent EP-0834402-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MORIYAMA JIRO
IPC: B41J2/01
Filed: 1997-10-03
Abstract: A liquid detection method and a liquid discharging
device can exactly detect whether or not a liquid can be
supplied in a state in which a liquid channel from a tank
for accommodating the liquid to each discharging port of a
recording head is not disconnected by a bubble. A detection-signal
input terminal is provided at a position where it
contacts the liquid. A detection terminal is provided at a
position where it does not electrically contact the liquid
and is isolated from the liquid within the tank via a lower
wall of the tank, made of an insulating plastic material,
and the air. An electrical signal is input from a recording
apparatus to the detection-signal input terminal via a connection
terminal. The input electrical signal is transmitted
through the ink within the recording head, the liquid channel
within a joint, and the liquid within the tank. The
detection terminal, comprising a conductive metal plate,
provided at a position corresponding to the entire lower
surface of the tank detects the waveform of a voltage. By
comparing the detected voltage with a predetermined
threshold, it is determined whether or not the liquid is
being normally supplied.

Abstract: The method involves transmitting a periodic signal from a subscriber unit at an initial predetermined power level. The power level is increased at a predetermined ramp up rate. The periodic signal is detected at a base station when a sufficient power for detection is achieved. A signal from the base station is transmitted which confirms the periodic signal has been detected. The confirmation signal is received at the subscriber unit. The predetermined power level ramp up rate is stopped when the confirmation signal is received. The initial predetermined power level is lower than the power level required for detection by the base station. The power level of the signal is increased at a second predetermined rate which is less than the first rate.

Abstract: Both a method and apparatus for reading sound data invisibly
imprinted on the surface of an object is provided. In the method, compressed
sound data is optically imprinted onto the surface of an object as a two-dimensional
encodement (12). An image of the encodement is focused onto an
image sensor array (44, 46) that generates a digital signal representative of the
image. The digital signal is processed into an expanded analog signal
representative of the sound represented by the encodement. The analog signal is
then converted into sound. The method is implemented by a hand-held data reader
wand (70, 85) having a lens (72), an image sensor, a microprocessor (50) for
decoding the output of the image sensor array into an analog sound signal, and a
sound transducer such as a speaker. The method may be used to record and play
back a voice commentary on not only sheet material objects such as photographs
and greeting cards, but also three-dimensional articles such as clothing (98) and
furniture (99, 100).

Abstract: An exposure device in which a strip-like workpiece is transported by a grip feeding method, is to be able to expose the strip-like workpiece without being tensile stressed is achieved as follows: A feed grip part holds a strip-like workpiece. The workpiece is transported downstream in the transport direction. During transport of the workpiece, the serpentine of the workpiece is determined and corrected. After stopping the motion of the workpiece, it is attached by a workpiece holding device which is located upstream of an exposure part. Then, the feed gripper part is moved according to the amount of stretching of the workpiece upstream in the transport direction, while the workpiece remains clamped by the feed grip part. In this way, the tensile force exerted on the workpiece is eliminated. Next, the workpiece is attached by a second workpiece holding device. The workpiece is attached by suction by a workpiece carrier. The mask is moved, alignment is performed and the workpiece is exposed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system for automated handling of call
interactions includes an automated interrogation device
(10), typically having interactive voice response (IVR)
capability (26), with local memory (24) for storing
subset records. Each subset record corresponds to a
master record (16) that is remotely stored. The subset
record contains sufficient information to allow a
calling party to complete an identification process and
to at least initiate an intended operation. For
example, in a banking environment, the locally stored
information may include customer names, account
identifications, account balances, dates, and other
information that is commonly requested by bank
customers. In response to an incoming call, IVR
queries are directed to the calling party and the
appropriate subset record is accessed. Preferably, the
subset record is retrieved to temporary storage, such
as random access memory (30). Thus, there are temporarily
three storages of record material specific to
the calling party. Information within the subset
record is readily accessible without an on-line
connection to the remote storage of the corresponding
master record. However, data exchanges are frequently
implemented in order to match information in the subset
records with information in the master records.
