Abstract: A method and apparatus for preparing a sheet workpiece (122) comprises a pair of rollers (142, 144) defining a nip (146) therebetween through which said sheet workpiece (122) passes in a single pass, and means (56, 58) for driving said opposed rollers (142, 144) in opposite directions and at sufficiently different lineal surface velocities for said sheet (122) to be both milled and stretched simultaneously in said nip (146), as said sheet workpiece passes through said apparatus in a predetermined direction of travel. Modifying means (143, 188, 190, 192, 211, 213, 227, 235, 237, 239) to modify the sheet workpiece upstream or at the said nip (146) so that, on leaving the said nip (146) the sheet has an increased degree of uniformity. The modification comprises heating means (143, 188, 190, 192) for heating an outer surface portion, especially an edge portion of said sheet workpiece (122) which is not disposed in contact with a first (142), upstream one of said pair of opposed rollers to a temperature level which is greater than the temperature level of an inner surface portion. This ensures that the temperature levels of said inner and outer surface portions of said sheet workpiece (122) are substantially the same whereby the density of said sheet workpiece (122) across its thickness dimension is substantially uniform. Alternatively, the modification comprises providing the workpiece (122) with a configuration in which its edges are thinner so that after passage through the nip (146) it has an increased degree of flatness.

Abstract: A system (100, 200) for monitoring the toner content in ink. The system comprising a light source (20) and a photo-detector (30) disposed in a ink chamber wall, a controller (40) and a display unit (50). A content-monitoring voltage V1 and a operation-checking voltage V1 are determined from experiments in advance. V1 and V2 are such light source voltages when a predetermined current Ith is obtained from the photo-detector for the minimum and maximum allowable toner contents, respectively. In usual operation in user site, operation of the system is checked with the light source voltage set for V2 in response to a power-on or a reset. Then, a monitoring of the toner content is started with the light source voltage set for V1. In a toner content monitoring, the sensor current is checked to see if it is equal to or larger than Ith.

Abstract: A management system and method for use with on-demand cable programming, wherein a customer telephones a cable supplier and requests that a particular video program be played. The management system uses a plurality of video sources, wherein each of the video sources is capable of playing the requested video program. A telephone switch system and routing table are used to route incoming customer requests directly to the interface in control of the video source serving the region from where the request originated. The volume of requests received from each customer region serviced by the cable supplier is evaluated. If the volume of customer requests surpasses a threshold level, then additional video sources are added to the cable network by the cable supplier. The cable head ends that service the various customer regions are then reassigned among the new number of video sources so that the volume of requests is generally evenly divided among the multiple video sources, concurrently, the routing table is changed to maintain the geographic association between customer regions and each appropriate video source.

body (fig. 13) made of a heat resistant metal or metal unwoven cloth,
is placed in a case (1) containing therein a trap connected

the filter are parallel to the direction of a flow of
exhaust gas. The pore diameter, thickness, a material
packing density or a mass diameter of the filter is varied

Abstract: This invention relates to a method by means of which more than one audio signal
can be recorded in compressed form in a memory element, and to a system
implementing such a method. In the system according to the invention, audio signal
samples are recorded only when voice is detected in the audio signals. The system
according to the invention saves memory capacity required by the recording by
combining the audio signal samples when voice is detected in samples of more than
one audio signal. Furthermore, an audio signal is not recorded when no voice is
detected in the signal. The invention also reduces the average computing capacity
needed and thus power consumption, since signal combination, or mixing, is
advantageously performed only when voice is detected in the samples of more than
one audio signal.

Abstract: A digital scan converter (DSC) in an ultrasonic system stores a
received ultrasonic signal and displays the ultrasonic signal via a display.
The DSC calculates pixel data at a corresponding pixel point via an
interpolation process using ultrasonic image data at sampling point which is
positioned on two scan lines neighboring to the pixel point for displaying
and has the same radius from a probe as that of the pixel point for
displaying. Thus, a positional error does not exist on a rectangular
coordinate system, and thus a picture quality is enhanced by eliminating
artifact.
