Abstract: When performing gradation display by giving digital value as display data to each pixel arranged in a matrix on a display panel and emitting the pixels at a brightness corresponding to the magnitude of the digital value, plural display frame periods are set as one cycle, and digital value α is given as display data in certain display frames selectively determined in the cycle, and digital value β = α ± M (M being a positive integer) is given as display data in other display frames in the same cycle. Accordingly, a halftone gradation between the gradation corresponding to the digital value α and the gradation corresponding to the digital value β may be displayed in plural degrees depending on the rate of the number of display frames given the digital value α and the number of display frames given the digital value β.

Abstract: An optical disk drive which discriminates whether a light spot is incident on a groove or on an area therebetween by eliminating a pulse that appears in a binary envelope signal when the light spot passes a level section. The elimination is carried out based on an ODF section detecting signal, the ODF section detecting signal being a level section detecting signal which is produced by detecting a level section (ODF section) of the optical disk. The detection is carried out by differentiating an envelope signal, which is the envelope of an electric signal corresponding to the amount of light reflected from the optical disk. Accordingly, even if the optical disk in use has interrupted grooves, the optical head can be accurately moved to a desired track located on a land or on a groove.

Abstract: An improved process is provided for the production of a hydrocarbon derivative by the vapour phase reaction of a hydrocarbon with an oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a suitable catalyst in a reactor 2 to produce a flammable gaseous product stream comprising the desired derivative, unreacted hydrocarbon, oxygen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. In the improved process, a cooled or liquefied inert gas is injected through line 22 as a quench fluid into the gaseous product stream exiting the hydrocarbon oxidation reactor 2, thereby cooling the stream to a temperature below the autoignition temperature of the flammable components of the stream, the hydrocarbon derivative is recovered from the gaseous product in a scrubber 8, and unreacted hydrocarbon is removed from the gaseous product in a separator 16 and recycled via line 20 to the reactor 2. Examples of hydrocarbon derivatives that can be prepared include maleic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, acrylonitrile, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, vinyl chloride and ethylene dichloride. In the example of acrylonitrile, ammonia is used as an additional reactant in the vapour phase in reactor 4, and in the example of vinyl chloride or ethylene dichloride, hydrogen chloride is used as such an additional reactant.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) and method for applying labels onto small cylindrical articles such as dry cell batteries is disclosed. A label transport drum (32) has a substantially smooth surface. Cut labels are applied to the surface and an adhesive applicator (50) applies a preferred cold adhesive onto an area adjacent the leading edge of the label. A solvent applicator (60) applies a predetermined amount of solvent on the area adjacent the trailing edge of the label. The solvent applicator includes a solvent transfer roll (66) and a rotatably supported rotary pad print head (64). The rotary pad print head includes at least one narrowly tapering, flexible wiper tip (72). In one embodiment the wiper tip has a V-notch (82) on its end. The flexible tip engages the solvent transfer roll, transferring solvent from the solvent transfer roll into the V-notch (82). The rotary pad print head (64) is timed to rotate so that the flexible tip is deflected against the area adjacent the trailing edge of the label. Solvent contained within the V-notch (82) is evenly applied onto the label. An article conveying mechanism (150, 152, 154, 156, 158) presents cylindrical articles into tangential spinning engagement with the drum (32) and into rotative engagement with the adhesive whereby the label is transferred onto the article as the label is moved into engagement with the rotating article. In another embodiment, the wiper member (54) is timed to rotate slower than the surface speed of the drum. In this embodiment, the flexible tip (72) is tapered preferably without a V-notch (82). The slower speed of the wiper relative to the drum causes even application of the solvent onto the label. A servomotor and encoder (65, 65a) provide speed control to ensure that the surface speed of the rotary pad print head is slower than the surface speed of the label transport drum.

Abstract: When recording information on a record carrier (1) having a recording layer (2), the recording layer (2) is scanned by means of a radiation beam (71) whose radiation power has a pulsatory variation. As a result of the heating produced by the radiation pulses, the recording layer (2) undergoes an optically detectable change. A write signal generating circuit (78) converts an information signal v(t) into a write signal g(t) which has a pulsatory pattern, which pulse pattern comprises pulses of a high signal level which alternate with intervals of a low signal level. A control circuit (78) sets the power of the radiation beam (71) at a value fixed by the signal level of the write signal. The signal level within the pulses decreases, while the signal value of the write signal g(t) increases in the intervals. As a result, the influence exerted by previous radiation pulses on the temperature at the scanning area (73) is compensated for.
