Inventor: KUMAR AJAY
IPC: G03G21/06
Filed: 1998-11-09
Abstract: A process cartridge (100) includes a housing having
walls (102,104,106) defining a process chamber (18) and a
photoreceptor (84) mounted to the walls (102,104) within
the process chamber (118) and having a closed loop path and
an imaging area (210) having a given length (Li). The
process cartridge (100) also includes plural process
components acting along the closed loop path for producing
imaging effects on the photoreceptor for forming on, and
for transferring from, the photoreceptor, a toner image.
The process components include a charging component that
includes a pin-array charge emitting device (214) having an
acting region precisely only as long as the length (Li) of
the imaging area (210), in order to avoid occurrence of
"dark bands" towards edges of a formed and transferred
toner image. The process components also include a
developer roll (92), for applying charged toner particles
to the imaging area. The developer roll (92) has an acting
region centered relative to, and extending slightly beyond,
each end of the length (Li) of the imaging area (210).
Importantly, the process components include a cleaning
component that includes a cleaning blade (138) for removing
waste toner from the imaging area (210), and an auger for
transporting the waste toner in a waste toner flow
direction (220). The cleaning blade (138) has an acting
region slightly longer than the length (Li) of the imaging
area (210), and that is offset relative to the imaging area
in the direction of waste toner flow, thereby enabling the
process cartridge (100) to reliably and effectively produce
and transfer high quality toner images.

Abstract: To accommodate calls to a destination number which may be either voice
calls or a facsimile call, an answering apparatus receives the call when it is unanswered by
a telephone and provides voice mail services. If while handling the call as a voice call a
facsimile calling tone is received, the answering apparatus switches to facsimile call
handling. If the call is answered by the telephone, the answering apparatus is conferenced
in and initiates facsimile call handling if a facsimile calling tone is received. The answering
apparatus may be configured to handle other non-voice calls in addition to, or in place of,
facsimile calls, such as TTY/TDD calls.

Patent EP-0909110-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BACKMAN JUHA
IPC: H04R9/10
Filed: 1998-09-17
Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for improving leak tolerance in an
earpiece. The invention can be applied preferably in teleterminals, particularly in
mobile stations. One idea of the invention is that an acoustic return path (314, 313,
311, 312, 320) is directed from the back part of the earpiece capsule (301) to a
volume (307) between the earpiece (300) and the user's ear. By means of the
solution according to the invention an optimum, controlled load is achieved
particularly for low frequencies, such that a change in the volume (307) between
the earpiece and the ear only has a minor effect on the volume and quality of the
sensed sound. By means of the solution a good leak tolerance is achieved, even
though the volume to be arranged behind the earpiece capsule is small.

Abstract: A (20, 60) for optimizing chip size/aspect ratio and reticule
layout. The method includes the steps of first generating an initial
rectangular shot map (22, 62) having a number of rows and columns of
shots, determining which chips in the initial rectangular shot map are
geometrically positioned on acceptable areas of a wafer, determining
which chips in the initial rectangular shot map are geometrically
positioned on low and high yield locations of the wafer, and deleting the
empty shots from the initial rectangular shot map for obtaining a
temporary best shot map. Thereafter, iteratively shifting the initial
rectangular shot map along a first axis until a first predetermined limit is
reached, comparing each resultant shifted shot map with the temporary
best shot map, and setting the shifted shot map as the temporary best
shot map in response to a favorable comparison. After the first
predetermined limit is reached, iteratively shifting the initial shot map
along a second axis until a second predetermined limit is reached,
comparing each resultant shifted rectangular shot map with the
temporary best shot map, and setting the shifted shot map as the
temporary best shot map in response to a favorable comparison. A best
shot map (100, 110) is then generated for wafer fabrication. The chip
size is also optimized by a companion method.

Abstract: In a speech decoder (40) a speech signal is represented by a plurality of prediction parameters updated once per frame. Each frame comprises a plurality of sub-frames in which the excitation signal generated by a fixed codebook (52) and an adaptive codebook (48) is updated. In order to enhance the speech quality the prediction coefficients are interpolated by an LPC coefficient interpolator (46) to obtain interpolated prediction coefficients for each sub-frame. According to the present invention the interpolation of the prediction coefficients is not based on the prediction coefficients used for transmission such as reflection coefficients or Log Area Ratios but on Line Spectral Frequencies.

Abstract: A polarizing plate and a double refracting plate,
which are allowed to rotate around an optic axis, are
provided to the light-exit side of a liquid crystal
layer. The double refracting plate splits incident light
into an ordinary ray which travels along a straight optic
axis and an extraordinary ray which travels along a
refracted optic axis, and supplies the same to a printing
paper. The double refracting plate is laminated to the
polarizing plate in such a manner that the splitting
direction of the former matches with the polarizing plate
of the latter, thereby allowing only the extraordinary
ray to exit from the double refracting plate. By
rotating the two plates together as one body by, for
example, 90 degrees around the optic axis and exposing
the printing paper each time, resolution attained without
displacing the liquid crystal layer or printing paper
with respect to the other is nearly as high as the one
obtained by displacing the liquid crystal layer or
printing paper. Because the liquid crystal layer and
printing paper do not have to be displaced, no adverse
effect, such as vibration, is given to the liquid crystal
layer, and the pixel displacement can be readily effected
with not only a sheet paper, but also a roll of paper.

Abstract: An engine-transmission drivetrain includes a torque converter (1)
between the engine output shaft and the transmission. The torque converter
(1) includes a lock-up clutch. A speed sensor (21), which measures the
rotational speed of the transmission output shaft (5), generates a pulse signal.
A transmission controller (200) includes a deceleration dependent lock-up
release command generator and a torque converter speed dependent lock-up
release command generator. The pulse signal from the speed sensor (21) is
used as an input to each of the lock-up release command generators. In the
deceleration dependent one, the pulse signal is processed to derive information
as to the magnitude of deceleration which the transmission output shaft (5) is
subject to. In the torque converter speed dependent one, the pulse signal is
processed to derive information as to rotational speed of an output element of
the torque converter (1). At deceleration with the magnitude of deceleration
greater than or equal to a predetermined reference, the deceleration dependent
lock-up release command generator gains authority over the lock-up release
control. At deceleration with the magnitude of deceleration less than the
predetermined reference, the other release command generator gains authority
over the lock-up release control.

Abstract: An optical waveguide doped with a rare earth
element (12) is pumped (26, 28) so that an input
optical signal (λ(w1)) is amplified as the input
optical signal travels through the optical waveguide.
The optical waveguide is provided with at least one
light (λ(w2), λ(w5)) which, together with the input
optical signal, causes four wave mixing (FWM) to occur
in the optical waveguide. The FWM causes a converted
optical signal to be produced in the optical waveguide.
The converted optical signal has a wavelength different
from the input optical signal. If the input signal is
modulated by a transmission signal, then the converted
optical signal will also be modulated by the
transmission signal. The optical waveguide can be, for
example, an erbium doped optical fiber operating as an
erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA). Therefore, an
EDFA can be used for both amplification and wavelength
conversion.
