Patent EP-0727504-A2 (EP)
Inventor: OFFER HENRY PETER
IPC: C23F4/00
Filed: 1996-02-09
Abstract: A durable coating process which provides improved adhesive bond strength between the coating and its substrate. This process utilizes spray parameters which generate a unique plasma coating that can be applied through a liquid environment between the spray gun nozzle and the substrate to provide combined ion cleaning, etching and activation of the surface to be coated. The improved surface conditioning allows the creation of an exceptionally strong metallurgical bond at the interface between the splattered droplets of the coating material and the substrate. The improved plasma coating process utilizes a relatively short nozzle-to-work surface distance and is therefore suitable for use directly in a liquid such as water in order to keep the substrate from overheating, which may be more likely to occur if the coating were applied in a gas or vacuum environment. The resulting plasma coating is characterized by high values of adhesive bond strength which are attributable to the high-strength metallurgical bond formed between the coating and substrate.

Abstract: An appropriate binarization threshold can be automatically set between the object density and the background density in a multi-level input image, by determining the frequencies of the luminance levels of the entire image, then calculating the average and deviation of the frequencies, then specifying a region containing the optimum threshold for separating the object and the background in the image, by judging the magnitude of the deviation, and taking the average luminance of the specified region as the binarization threshold. Also in processing an image containing objects of three or more luminance levels, highly precise binarization according to the luminance hierarchy allows exact separation of the image regions, enabling precise character recognition process according to the hierarchic luminance levels.

Abstract: A method for determining the orientation of a borehole from measurements of the gravity and magnetic field within the borehole. The hole azimuth is obtained corrected for sources of permanent, induced and electrically caused magnetic interference. Information-on these sources and on the earth's magnetic field is computed as a by product so that in the fullest application of the invention no prior information is required. The method uses several survey measurements to provide the required data for the correction, and provides quality assurance indicators that do not depend on ad hoc rules.

IPC: G10L19/04

Abstract: A speech compression system called "Transform Predictive Coding", or TPC, provides for encoding 7 kHz wideband speech (16 kHz sampling) at a target bit-rate range of 16 to 32 kb/s (1 to 2 bits/sample). The system uses short-term and long-term prediction to remove the redundancy in speech. A prediction residual is transformed and coded in the frequency domain to take advantage of knowledge in human auditory perception. The TPC coder uses only open-loop quantization and therefore has a fairly low complexity. The speech quality of TPC is essentially transparent at 32 kb/s, very good at 24 kb/s, and acceptable at 16 kb/s.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting and matching the recorded speed of a previously recorded tape. An algorithm changes the commanded speed to a servo system to a speed that is centered between the speed at which the sector header was written and the sector data was written. In particular, the measured synchronization portion of the sector header is initially integrated with respect to time. The measured synchronization portion of the sector data is then integrated with respect to time. An optimum speed is computed based on the difference in the speeds at which they were recorded. The commanded speed to the servo system is then changed as a result of the previous step.

drive shaft via a first torsionally stiff flexible
diaphragm (130), and the other bearing member is mounted to
a motor (50) (which rotates the drive shaft) via a second
torsionally stiff flexible diaphragm. During operation,
flexing of the diaphragms (110,130) accommodates
eccentricity in the mounting of the motor (50) without

Abstract: A ROM in the control circuit of a color printer
stores a threshold matrix. The individual elements of the
threshold matrix correspond to print dots, the number of
which is X × Y and which form 1 pixel in the original
image. Values t (x, y) which are integral numbers not
less than 0 are assigned one to each of the individual
elements in a predetermined order. Using the threshold
matrix, the CPU of the control circuit creates mask
patterns for representing halftones. A value of 1 is
subtracted from the tone number allotted to the tone of
color of a pixel in an image to be printed, and the
resultant value is substituted for a variable G. When a
gradation for image data representing the pixel is given
as "g", the condition required for setting ON
(transferring toner to print) the dot specified by the
coordinates (x, y) in the pixel in the case of the
gradation "g" is expressed by the following formula (6):
 t (x, y) ≤ g × X × Y / G   
     Based on the threshold matrix and the formula (6),
the CPU of the control section creates mask patterns in
the case where the gradation "g" takes values 0 to G-1 in
sequence, and develops those mask patterns in a RAM.

masking and temporal masking phenomena. The difference between the two
excitations is then calculated, and a measure of the loudness of the difference, and
