Patent EP-1197916-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DONOVAN DAVID H
IPC: H04N1/401
Filed: 2001-10-11
Abstract: CDE is measured for each nozzle array, to enable modification
of a mapping between input image data and intended
printing marks to compensate for the CDE. Printing
proceeds using the modified mapping, which is either an
optical-density transformation of data to printing marks
or a spatial-resolution relation between image data and
intended pixel grid. The density transformation preferably
includes a dither mask (but can be error-diffusion
thresholding instead); the resolution relation includes
scaling of image data, to pixel grid. For some invention
forms, CDE includes printing-density defects, measured and
used to derive a correction pattern ― in turn used to
modify halftone thresholding. For other forms CDE includes
swath-height error, but still this is measured and
used to derive a correction pattern etc. For still other
forms, however, CDE includes swath-height error and correction
takes the form of scaling. When the halftoning
forms are applied to plural-pass printing, a printmask is
used to map the dither mask etc. to the nozzle array, enabling
application of the correction to the mask. Halftone
forms ideally uses a gamma function, though threshold
or linear corrections are possible instead. Halftone correction
is effective in single-pass printing. The swath-height
correction can modify heights of all nozzle arrays.
Computations are done at most only once for a full image.

Abstract: A covering for an architectural opening includes a new system for mounting
the controls for the covering within the head rail such that suspended vertical vanes
are closely positioned relative to the bottom of a head rail and disposed so as to form
a continuous and integrated look with the head rail. An improved pantograph is used
in the control system with one set of links of the pantograph having tapered side
edges to improve stacking of the vanes adjacent to the end of a head rail without
sacrificing strength and therefore quality of the control system. An improved
operating system in the form of the combination of a tilt wand, coupler and pull cord
provides a simplified system for not only moving the vanes along the length of the
head rail between extended and retracted positions but for also pivoting the vanes
about longitudinal vertical axis between open and closed positions. An improved
system for connecting suspended vanes to the control system is also provided with
the system being uniquely designed for use with tubular vanes and retains the vanes
in a tubular orientation. The tilt wand is connected to the tilt rod within the head rail
by an inclined drive connector that enables the tilt wand to be aligned with the pull
cord at the location where the pull cord drops from the head rail for manipulation by
an operator. In this manner, the combined tilt wand and pull cord establish a
substantially child-proof operating system for the covering.

Abstract: The purpose of the invention is to fabricate a near field
optical head capable of recording and reading high density
information at high speed with excellent mass production. In
the invention, stoppers having almost the same height as that
of a tip of conical or pyramidal shape are disposed around the
tip, a part of a pressing body covering the tip and the stoppers
is displaced by an external force, a part of the pressing body
having displaced is allowed to come into contact with an opaque
film near the point of the tip and thereby an aperture is formed.
According to a fabricating method of the invention, multiple
apertures can be formed in a block. Thus, the near field optical
head is excellent in mass production and the formed aperture has
a structure of high optical efficiency and high resolution.
Therefore, the near field optical head capable of performing
recording/reading in high density and at high speed can be
fabricated in excellent mass production.

coupled to a capacitance to form a tuned, resonant circuit. A transistor
switch is coupled to the resonant circuit for generating current pulses in
the inductance, coupled to a load circuit to provide an output of the power
supply. Resonant voltage pulses are developed between a pair of main
current conducting terminals of the transistor switch. A controller is
coupled to the transistor switch for generating a switch control signal,
during a run mode of operation. The transistor switch is turned on
periodically, when the resonant voltage pulses reaches a zero voltage, to
provide for zero voltage switching. The generation of the current pulses is
disabled to provide for a burst mode operation, in a standby mode
operation.

Abstract: A reconfigurable processing system executes instructions and configurations in parallel. Initially, a first instruction loads configurations into configuration registers. the configuration field of a subsequently fetched instruction selects a configuration register. The instruction controls and controls of the configuration in the selected configuration register are decoded and modified as specially by the instruction. The controls provide data operands to the execution units which process the operands and generate results. Scalar data, vector data, or a combination of scalar and vector data can be processed. The processing is controlled by instructions executed in parallel with configurations invoked by configuration fields within the instructions. Vectors are processed using a vector register file which stores vectors. A vector address unit identifies addresses of vector elements in the vector register file to be processed. For each vector, vector address units provide addresses which stride through each element of each vector.
