disclosed. A "series-pass" fuel regulator in the system
includes an internal fluid passage (44) containing a
fluted pin (46) and having a valve seat (42) at one end.
A valve ball (40) bears against one end of the fluted
pin (46) and is biased toward the valve seat (42) by a
valve spring (38). The other end of the fluted pin
bears against a diaphragm assembly (32). A main spring

internal fluid passage (44) in the regulator
communicates with a chamber (34) defined by the
diaphragm assembly (32), the chamber (34) further
communicating with the outlet (28) of the regulator.
The inlet (26) of the regulator communicates with the
internal fluid passage (44) when the valve ball (40) is
not seated against the valve seat (42) and does not so
communicate when the valve ball (40) is seated against
the valve seat (42).

Abstract: A low-voltage electromagnetic riveter (LVEMR) including two opposed rivet
guns (70, 72) for upsetting rivets during the assembly of structural parts is disclosed.
Variable capacitor banks (64, 65 or 64', 65') are discharged to provide a variable
current pulse which flows through a driver coil (131) and a mass-mounted coil (135)
of each rivet gun (70, 72). Preferably, the mating faces of the coils are contoured to
assist in the alignment of the coils. The driver coils are affixed to the ends of drivers
(125) that drive rivet dies (121) into the ends of a rivet (75) to be upset. The
LVEMR is controlled such that the net magnetic forces generated between the two
pairs of coils actuate the rivet guns (70, 72) so that one end of the rivet is impacted
slightly before the other end. The delay is controlled by a delay generator (44).
Further, rapid-acting ground fault detection circuits (52 and 53) cause a power
shutdown and capacitor bank discharge in the event of a ground fault. Excessive
capacitor bank voltage or rivet gun temperatures also can cause a power shutdown
and capacitor bank discharge.

Abstract: An image processing arrangement is described that minimizes moire
patterns in scanned halftone images (140) of a scanned image while
maintaining the resolution of the scanned image. The arrangement includes a
filtering processor that has a modified median filter (142) with a specially
shaped (e.g., cross-shaped) filter window (160). The filter window (160)
allows the modified median filter (142) to preserve scanned text images of
the scanned image when processing the scanned halftone images to minimize
the moire patterns. In addition, the filtering processor determines if an image
pixel of the scanned image appears to belong to scanned continuous tone
images of the scanned image prior to processing the image pixel. The
filtering processor does not process that image pixel and the pixel value of
that image pixel is left unchanged if the image pixel appears to belong to the
scanned continuous tone images.

Abstract: A system and method for processing image data converts a pixel (V i ) of image data having
a first resolution to subpixels, the subpixels representing a second resolution, the second resolution
being higher than the first resolution. The subpixels are thresholded to generate a group of subpixel
values for each pixel and a threshold error value (E rr ). It is then determined if the group of subpixel
values from the thresholding process produce a pattern containing an isolated subpixel. If the group
of subpixel values from the thresholding process produce a pattern containing an isolated subpixel,
the group of subpixel vales is modified to produce a pattern (Binary Output) without an isolated
subpixel. The modification process produces a subpixel error value which is diffused in the
slowscan direction to adjacent pixels.

Abstract: A liquid detection method and a liquid discharging
device can exactly detect whether or not a liquid can be
supplied in a state in which a liquid channel from a tank
for accommodating the liquid to each discharging port of a
recording head is not disconnected by a bubble. A detection-signal
input terminal is provided at a position where it
contacts the liquid. A detection terminal is provided at a
position where it does not electrically contact the liquid
and is isolated from the liquid within the tank via a lower
wall of the tank, made of an insulating plastic material,
and the air. An electrical signal is input from a recording
apparatus to the detection-signal input terminal via a connection
terminal. The input electrical signal is transmitted
through the ink within the recording head, the liquid channel
within a joint, and the liquid within the tank. The
detection terminal, comprising a conductive metal plate,
provided at a position corresponding to the entire lower
surface of the tank detects the waveform of a voltage. By
comparing the detected voltage with a predetermined
threshold, it is determined whether or not the liquid is
being normally supplied.

Abstract: It is destined primarily, to reproduce the occlusal
surface anatomy of a particular tooth by means of an impression
material, and after the setting of such material and having
obtained the 'print' of the tooth, use the device as a fininshing
mold for the restorative material. The device is composed of a
main body (1) with a holder or handle (8) attached to it. Within
the main body there is a well defined cavity (3) proximal to the
tooth, where the impression material (4) is located. Once the
impression material has been softened, it is going to be
'deformed' against the tooth surface when finger pressure is
applied, therefore the tooth surface configuration will be
obtained, specially the one related to the restorative material
(12). A second cavity (2) opposite to the previously mentioned
proximal cavity (3), allows the placement of a fibre optic cable
for the emission of light when curing materials are used.

Abstract: A device comprising an optical amplifier
including an optical amplifying medium, and first and
second optical filters operatively connected to the
optical amplifier to suppress the wavelength dependence
of gain. The medium has an input end and an output end for
an optical signal. The medium is pumped so that it
provides a gain band. The gain band includes a first
band giving a relatively high gain and noise figure to
the optical signal and a second band giving a relatively
low gain and noise figure to the optical signal. The
first optical filter is connected to the input end of the
medium and has characteristics such that the first
optical filter suppresses the wavelength dependence of
gain in the second band. The second optical filter is
connected to the output end of the medium and has
characteristics such that the second optical filter
suppresses the wavelength dependence of gain in the first
band. This configuration allows suitable suppression of
the wavelength dependence of gain in each optical filter,
thereby providing a low noise figure and high optical
output power.

Abstract: Eine Schwefelfalle und ein Verfahren zur Regeneration einer Schwefelfalle wird beschrieben,
wobei die Schwefelfalle einem NOx-Speicher vorgelagert ist. Die Schwefelfalle umfaßt einen
konzentrisch axial in der Schwefelfalle angeordneten Bypass, der mittels einer Klappe öffen- und
verschließbar ist. Nach dem Umschalten der Motorbetriebsbedingungen von mager auf
fett nach der Detektion der Regenerationsnotwendigkeit der Schwefelfalle wird die
Schwefelfalle elektrisch auf oberhalb einer De-Sulfatierungs-Mindesttemperatur aufgeheizt.
Dabei ist zu Beginn der Aufheizung der Bypass der Schwefelfalle geöffnet. Nach
Verstreichen einer vorbestimmten Mindestzeit wird die Heizung der Schwefelfalle
abgeschaltet und der Motor wieder auf Magerbetrieb umgestellt, nachdem ein weiterer
Zeitlauf verstrichen ist, um sicherzustellen, daß die Sulfatsäule sich aus dem NOx-Speicher
hinausbewegt hat. In dem Fettbetrieb der Motors wird gleichzeitig eine Regeneration des
NOx-Speichers bewirkt. Bei Schwefelfallen, bei denen eine thermische De-Sulfatierung
unterhalb einer De-Sulfatierungsmindesttemperatur sicher ausgeschlossen werden kann,
kann die Schwefelfalle bereits elektrisch geheizt werden, bevor ein Motorbetrieb mit λ ≤ 1
eingestellt wird.
