Patent EP-0863661-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CHEN YIDONG
IPC: H04N1/405
Filed: 1998-03-04
Abstract: Disclosed is a fast error diffusion algorithm for converting a 8-bit per pixel per
color image to a binary (1-bit per pixel per color) image suitable for output on a
standard hardcopy output device such as an inkjet printer. The method uses two-term
error diffusion with a series of relatively low thresholds. The series of thresholds is
established using blue noise. The rows of the image are processed in a serpentine
manner, with adjacent rows being processed in alternating directions.

Abstract: A drive roller for an ink-jet printer. The drive roller
has a media engaging surface that is roughened by grit blasting
along an entire media engaging longitudinal peripheral extent.
The surface is hardened by anodizing. The roller is relatively
inexpensive to fabricate yet has a small error on diameter and
run out, and high traction due to the surface roughness, to
provide highly accurate media positioning performance. The
drive roller rotates about shaft mounted bearings. The shaft
journal is formed with a small raised bump, which has very loose
diametrical tolerance requirements, but is short in comparison
to the bearing length dimension. When the bearing is press fit
onto the shaft journal, the material forming the raised bump is
sheared by the bearing. The sheared material drops into a
recess on the journal, and does not interfere with the axial
positioning of the bearing. The axial position of the bearing
is controlled by placing the bearing next to a shoulder formed
on the shaft.

Abstract: An electron apparatus includes a rear substrate
having an electron-emitting device, a front substrate
irradiated with electrons, and a support member for
maintaining the interval between these substrates. The
distribution of the electric field is controlled, and a
force acting in the direction away from the support
member is applied to emitted electrons to prevent the
electrons from striking the support member. At this
time, the electrons are accelerated toward the front
substrate. Since the degree of deflection by a
deflection force on the rear substrate side is larger
than the degree of deflection by a deflection force on
the front substrate side, the deflection force on the
rear substrate side is relatively weakened.

Title: Procede et appareil d'embrayage pour boite de vitesses mecanique automatique
Inventor: WHEELER JAMES A
IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 1998-04-15
Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé destinés à réguler la vitesse d'enclenchement d'un embrayage dans une boite de vitesse mécanique entièrement ou partiellement automatique, en réponse à certains calculs dérivés des vitesses de rotation de l'arbre primaire et de l'arbre secondaire dudit embrayage. L'appareil comprend une unité de commande électronique, qui règle la vitesse initiale souhaitée pour le moteur du véhicule au moment du changement de vitesse, détermine la vitesse du mouvement d'enclenchement d'un palier de débrayage dudit embrayage, et actionne les soupapes appropriées afin d'initier l'enclenchement progressif de cet embrayage. Dans un premier mode de réalisation, cette unité de commande compare les vitesses de rotation de l'arbre primaire et de l'arbre secondaire de l'embrayage, afin de déterminer si la différence entre ces vitesses est inférieure à une première valeur constante. Si tel est le cas, on peut en déduire que ledit embrayage est presque entièrement enclenché, ce qui garantit l'interruption du processus d'enclenchement progressif, ainsi que l'enclenchement complet du palier de débrayage. Afin d'éviter une mauvaise déduction concernant cet enclenchement complet, on compare le signal de vitesse des arbres primaire et secondaire de l'embrayage au signal de vitesse du moteur souhaité. Lorsque la différence entre le signal de vitesse de l'arbre primaire de l'embrayage et le signal de vitesse du moteur souhaité est inférieure à une seconde valeur constante, la déduction selon laquelle l'embrayage est suffisamment proche d'un enclenchement complet se confirme. Le palier de débrayage peut donc immédiatement passer à une position d'enclenchement complet. Dans un second mode de réalisation, on compare un signal différentiel actualisé (calculé comme étant la différence entre le signal de vitesse de l'arbre primaire de l'embrayage actualisé et le signal de vitesse de l'arbre secondaire de l'embrayage actualisé) et un signal différentiel préalable. On calcule en outre un signal d'erreur en tant que différence entre ledit signal différentiel actualisé et le signal différentiel préalable. L'unité de commande électronique commande le mouvement dudit palier de débrayage de sorte que le signal d'erreur se conforme à un profil d'enclenchement d'embrayage prédéterminé, de manière à enclencher durablement ledit embrayage.

Abstract: A rotary disc (16) distributes toner evenly over the classification rotor (8) circumference. The toner descends under gravity, being guided through the classification zone (21). A spiral controls toner residence time distribution from top to bottom of the classification zone. Toner is introduced quickly in the homogenous state at the top and resides for a longer interval in the central part of the classification zone. At the bottom it is carried away continuously. Classification air driven past the outer edge of the rotor flows at a mean velocity of 3-7 m/s. The ratio of mass flowrate of toner to volumetric airflow is held at 0.05-0.3 kg/m<3>, based on product weight. Residence time is controlled by a coaxial spiral (29) around the classification rotor. This occupies only part of the radial extent of the classification zone. Over its length, the pitch of the spiral varies. Toner mass flowrate to classification air volumetric flowrate is preferably 0.1 kg/m<3>. Mean velocity of classification air is 5 m/s.

Abstract: In an overload control method for a spread
spectrum communication system, when the number of mobile
stations in the process of communication with a base
station in a self-cell is equal to or more than a
predetermined number, the ratio of increase instructions
to reverse link transmission power control bits
contained in radio frames transmitted from the mobile
stations in the process of communication to the base
station and indicating increases/decreases in
transmission power of the mobile stations is measured.
When the measured ratio of increase instructions is
equal to or more than a predetermined ratio, it is
determined that the reverse link interference amount
between communications performed between the base
station and the mobile stations is equal to or more than
an allowable value. When it is determined that the
reverse link interference amount between the
communications is equal to or more than the allowable
value, the reverse link interference amount between the
communications is reduced by performing at least one of
transmission power restriction and
origination/termination restriction. A spread spectrum
communication system is also disclosed.

Abstract: The method involves passing data between a network termination (NT) and a switching point termination (ET) over an S0 bus consisting of two base channels for the useful data and a D-channel for signalling characters. For the transfer of low bandwidth useful data a switchover is performed to activate a first unit in the network termination that multiplexes a low bandwidth useful data stream from a useful data interface onto the D-channel in the transmission direction and demultiplexes in the receive direction. A second unit in the switching point termination is also activated to filter out the signalling characters from the information flow in the D-channel and feed them to the signalling network and to provide the remaining useful data with an identifier, compress it if required and pass it over a higher bandwidth channel to a destination switch termination.

Abstract: According to the invention, when feeding parts to a
mounting machine by using a parts feed cassette, prior to
parts feed, air is preliminarily supplied to the parts feed
cassette to put the parts in neat order, and the parts are
preliminarily sent up to a final position in a parts feed
route. Accordingly, if the parts cannot be securely sent up
to the parts feed position in the parts feed route by
supplying air only for a specific limited time for feeding
parts, the parts can be preliminarily sent forward in neat
order, and by the supply of air for parts feed, the parts can
be fed quickly, securely, and stably.

Abstract: The invention is a system for use in a single-anvil
hydraulic press or compression system for automatically selecting
and changing both the upper and lower tooling. The system is
installed between the upper and lower compression anvils of a
hydraulic press (21). The upper portion includes a set of holders for
upper tools (27) and adjacent orientation structures or jaws. The upper
tool holders and jaws are mounted on a horizontal member that may
be moved such that one of the upper tools (27) is "selected" by being
placed immediately below the upper anvil of the press (21). As part of
this selection process, the anvil removes the tool from the
selected holder, and holds it using pneumatic suction. Then the
horizontal member shifts over so that the upper anvil is situated
directly above the adjacent orientation structure for that tool.
To switch to a different upper tool, the horizontal member again
moves the (empty) holder below the upper anvil, whereupon the
pneumatic suction is removed causing the tool to drop into the
holder. The horizontal member then moves to the newly selected
tool holder and removes the tool therefrom using the pneumatic
suction. Then the horizontal structure shifts over so that the
upper anvil is situated directly above the adjacent orientation
structure for the newly selected tool. 
     Available sets of tooling for the lower anvil are mounted
in vertical orientation in pockets (41) on a movable belt (33) adjacent
to the lower anvil. Rotation of the belt (33) moves the selected pocket
(41) below a support bracket. Pneumatic pressure is used to push the
lower tool (31) from the selected pocket (41) into the bracket. A slidable
member on the bracket locks the lower tool (31) into place for use. To
switch to a different lower tool (31), the slidable locking member is
released, and the pneumatic pressure removed thereby allowing the
lower tool in the bracket to fall into the waiting empty pocket (41).
The belt (33) is rotated until the newly selected pocket (41) is below the
support bracket. Then, the pneumatic pressure and the locking
member are again used to move and lock the newly selected lower
tool into place for use.
