Abstract: This invention relates to an improvement in a process and apparatus for
delivering ultra high purity liquid carbon dioxide to a point of use at pressures above
ambient without pumping. In the process a high purity carbon dioxide feed is charged to
a vessel and at least partially solidified. Once filled, the slush or solid is isochorically
heated, i.e., heated at constant vessel volume whereby the solid phase carbon dioxide is
converted to a liquid. Liquid, then, is withdrawn from the vessel at a desired pressure at
a rate at which the solid phase carbon dioxide is converted to a liquid. The improvement
resides in effecting partial solidification and recycle of carbon dioxide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plasma display panel, and more
particularly, to an apparatus and method for driving a plasma display panel. An
apparatus for driving a plasma display panel includes an energy recovery circuit
having a first inductor, which is included in a path along which energy is
supplied to the panel and resonate with the panel, and a second inductor
included in a second path along which energy is recovered from the panel
together with the first inductor. Accordingly, a plurality of inductors is serially
connected so that an energy supply path and an energy recovery path are
separated. It is thus possible to increase driving efficiency without changing a
control signal. Further, it is possible to prevent an unnecessary resonance
phenomenon by further including a clamping unit.

Inventor: YOSHIKAWA OSAMU
IPC: G06F3/041
Filed: 2005-03-30
Abstract: The present invention provides a touch panel input device that reliably prevents degradation of a piezoelectric substrate. During inactive periods in which a touch panel input device is not used, the connection between a set of output terminals of an AC power supply circuit and a set of associated drive electrodes on the piezoelectric substrate is switched with a selector switch so that the drive electrodes are shorted. During inactive periods, no DC potential is applied to the set of drive electrodes even if a charged conductive body comes into contact with the drive electrodes or a drive power source pattern connected thereto. This makes it possible to prevent the degradation of the piezoelectric substrate.

Abstract: In an image-on-image (IOI) color processing system, which superimposes toner images of different color separation toners onto a photoreceptor, a method for determining composite toner coverage on a page includes determining the order in which the color separations will be printed; determining an attenuation factor for each individual color separation and for all combinations of the color separations; determining a fractional amount of toner that is requested for each separation; and summing the fractional amounts of toner requested for each separation times the fraction of the substrate that is not yet covered by prior separations, and the amounts of toner that are deposited on each of the prior separations times the attenuation factor corresponding to that combination of prior separations, in all combinations. These revised coverages can be used to adjust the input values of an image before it is used in a reload detection method.
