IPC: G06T11/60
Filed: 1995-03-31
Abstract: A computer-implemented system for selecting a color scheme and colorizing a document with the selected color scheme includes displaying a menu of user-selectable objectives which are used to define a color scheme, accessing a computerized color knowledge-base system in accordance with the selected objectives to select the color scheme, and displaying the selected color scheme. Once the color scheme has been selected, the document can be colorized by retrieving the document from a file such as that created by a desktop publishing program, selecting a page of the document image to be colorized, and colorizing a plurality of reproductions of the selected page. The plurality of reproduced pages are variably colorized with combinations of colors from the selected color scheme. A user selects the most desirably colorized page reproduction and the selected colorized page is re-displayed for further processing.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus which has a structure such that the oil consumption in a detachable and changeable oil supply means is accurately predicted to display appropriate change timing. This prevents continuation of a fixing operation when the fixing cannot be performed because oil has been consumed. The result is a reliable fixing operation in which offset is prevented. The oil consumption of a detachable oil supply means is predicted using at least any one of size, material, and printing mode information. Oil consumption is used to calculate and predict the integrated value of the predicted oil consumption. If the integrated value of the predicted oil consumption exceed a predetermined value, display to change the oil supply means is performed. After change has been displayed, the image forming apparatus is interrupted. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An improved coiled-coil filament for use in an incandescent lamp has a primary coil winding with a substantially uniform spacing between successive coil turns. The primary coil winding is wound around a second mandrel in a manner to Provide a main coil body and leg portions extending therefrom. A helical bend is formed between the main coil body and the leg portions thereby allowing that the leg portions extend toward a seal region of the lamp envelope in a substantially parallel relation to each other. Once the main coil body has been set in shape, the first and second mandrels are removed such that the leg portions a disposed in the seal region of the lamp envelope in a spaceless, and optional spudless manner. In manufacturing the spaceless, spudless coiled-coil filament of the present invention, several manufacturing steps are avoided including the steps of Picco or wax dipping the ends of the leg portions to allow for the formation of the previously required spud members, and of removing the Picco or wax dip after the remainder of the primary mandrel has been dissolved.

Abstract: A surface mode liquid crystal device is made by forming a cell (1) containing a mixture of a liquid crystal (7) and a pre-polymer. An electric field is applied across the cell (1) to arrange the liquid crystal (7) in a predetermined surface mode state, such as the V state in the case of a pi-cell configuration. The liquid crystal (7) is held in this state by the field while the pre-polymer is polymerised or cross-linked, for instance by ultraviolet irradiation. The electric field is then removed. The polymer stabilises the predetermined surface mode state, for instance preventing relaxation of the V state to the twist or splay state in the pi-cell configuration.
