Abstract: A shift register (30) or other electronic drive circuit (20, 30) for an LCD or other active matrix device (10) includes a series of circuit blocks (30A, 30B, etc) each having redundancy in the form of parallel circuit paths (31 and 32). When the circuit is turned on, self-testing and redundancy selection is carried out by individual test and control arrangements (34) which are associated with the blocks (30A, 30B, etc). The test and control arrangements (34) may comprise memory elements, such as a bistable, which electrically programme themselves in response to their electrical testing of the paths so as to generate a control signal at an output coupled to one or more switches (33). The switches (33) control which of the parallel circuit paths provides an output (23) to the active matrix device (10). Each test and control arrangement (34) also comprises a routing circuit controlled by the control signal, for transmitting the correct serial output of that block to all serial input of next block.

Abstract: A system for interconnecting widely separated local area networks (LANs) (11,12) by means of a wide area network (WAN) (10) utilizes network level facilities to establish a connection through the wide area network and to create connection table entries at the WAN access point (13,14) which allow subsequent data frames to be transmitted through the wide area network without such network level operations. More particularly, the various LANs are combined into search groups, represented by address prefixes, to which LAN-initiated connection requests can be broadcast and which can respond so as to establish the data path connections. This system has the connection flexibility of a prior art router and, at the same time, the low overhead of a prior art bridge.

Abstract: A system for controlling fuel metering in an internal combustion engine using a fluid dynamic model and the quantity of throttle-past air is determined therefrom. Based on the observation that the difference between the steady-state engine operating condition and the transient engine operating condition can be described as the difference in the effective throttle opening areas, the quantity of fuel injection is determined from the product of the ratio between the area and its first-order lag value and the quantity of fuel injection under the steady-state engine operating condition obtained by mapped data retrieval, and by subtracting the quantity of correction corresponding to the quantity of chamber-filling air. The effective throttle opening area's first order lag is calculated using a weight that varies with the engine speed, so that elongation or shortening of the TDC interval due to the decrease/increase of the engine speed will not affect the determination of the quantity of fuel injection.

Abstract: A developing device includes a toner container 3, which can be mounted and dismounted and includes a toner replenishment roller 21 controlled for rotation according to a detection signal of a toner concentration sensor 15. A shutter 30 is rotatable along the outer periphery of the toner replenishment roller 21 for opening and closing an opening 23. At least one shutter opening end 304 is in frictional contact with roller periphery, thus permitting stable mounting and dismounting of the toner container 3 with respect to a developer container 2 in a simple operation. The toner container comprises a replenishment toner accommodating section and a waste toner recovery section formed at a longitudinal end of the accommodating section via a partitioning wall. The volume ratio between the replenishment toner accommodating section and the waste toner recovery section is set such that no overflow of waste toner occurs. A toner accommodation space 35A is formed by an inclined wall 35 extending substantially downward from the toner replenishment roller mounting portion 29 of the replenishment toner accommodating section such that replenishment toner in it can be pulled up onto the toner replenishment roller mounting portion 29 with the rotation of a toner agitating fin 28a, 28b. It is thus possible to provide a suitable layout structure of a toner container 3 having an integral waste toner recovery section for accommodating waste toner after toner image formation.

Abstract: In its basic aspects, the present invention uses a 3X3 data window (201) to examine and to convert data in a 2X-resolution enhancement. Data (203) is altered from a linear 2X-expansion method if and when the 3X3 data meets four criteria that determines the frequency content of the original 3X3 data window subset. The criteria are deterministic of whether a random pattern -- such as in a graphical artwork figure - - or a logical frequency domain pattern -- namely text characters, numbers, or the like -- are being printed. The method is particularly useful in dot matrix, or bit mapped, printing and the like. The data smoothing method is employed only after it is determined that a logical frequency domain pattern is being analyzed.
