Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing mail is provided. The
mail is serially fed from a stack of mail into a system transport (40). The
system transport conveys the mail to an imaging station (45), which scans
the mail to obtain image data corresponding to at least a portion of each
piece. From the imaging station, the mail is conveyed to a buffer (50),
which selectively maintains the mail while the address printed on the mail is
determined. After the address for a piece of mail is determined, the piece is
conveyed out of the buffer to a printer (80), which prints a POSTNET
barcode onto the piece. The POSTNET barcode corresponds to the
address that was determined for the piece. Optionally, the apparatus may
include a labeller (70) for applying a blank label onto the mail, and the
POSTNET barcode can then be printed onto the label after it is applied to
the mail. After the POSTNET barcode is printed on a piece, it is conveyed
past a verifier (85), which scans the printed POSTNET barcode to ensure
that the barcode was printed properly. The mail is then sorted and stacked
in a plurality of output bins (96, 97, 98, 99).

Abstract: A framework is presented to provide support for dynamically configuring a
human-machine interface in a network management and service provisioning
environment. The framework implements a file parser, methods of accessing a
managed object server b interact with instances of managed data network entity
objects, a plurality of view panel components and a command interpreter. A plurality
of run-time loadable descriptor files are provided to specify the functionality,
look-and-feel of view panel instances used by an analyst manipulate information in
interacting with the network management and service provisioning environment. The
view panel components are generically coded to provide support for the dynamically
configured human-machine interface. The parser is used to load the .form files and
instantiate view panels on demand such as: list display, list filter, tree display,
parameter inspection, entity creation, entity configuration forms, etc. Advantages are
derived from a separation between network management and service provisioning
software application coded functionality and the specification of the human-machine
interface presented to the analyst. The separation also provides for an efficient
development, maintenance and deployment of the network management and service
provisioning solution.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a tool having a wrist mechanism that provides pitch and yaw rotation in such a way that the tool has no singularity in roll, pitch, and yaw. A positively positionable multi-disk wrist mechanism (70) includes a plurality of disks or vertebrae stacked in series(72-76). Each vertebra is configured to rotate in pitch or in yaw with respect to each neighboring vertebra. Actuation cables (80, 82) are used to manipulate and control movement of the vertebrae. In specific embodiments, some of the cables (80, 82) are distal cables that extend from a proximal vertebra through one or more intermediate vertebrae to a distal vertebra, while the remaining cables are medial cables that extend from the proximal vertebra to one or more of the intermediate vertebrae. The cables (80, 82) are actuated by a pivoted plate cable actuator mechanism. In specific embodiments, the actuator mechanism includes a plurality of small radius holes or grooves for receiving the medial cables and a plurality of large radius holes or grooves (78) for receiving the distal cables. The holes or grooves (78) restrain the medial cables to a small radius of motion and the distal cables to a large radius of motion, so that the medial cables to the medial vertebra move only a fraction of the amount as the distal cables to the distal vertebra, so as to achieve precise control and manipulation of the vertebrae.

Abstract: An image forming device includes a quantization unit (3) which
quantizes each pixel of an M-level gradation input image into one of
N levels (M > N ≧ 2) through an error diffusion process. An
operation unit (8,9) performs a predetermined operation
on the gradation value of the target pixel
before quantization when the gradation value of the target pixel is
equal to a specific concentration, the operation being dependent on
the position of the target pixel. In one embodiment the addition or
subtraction of predetermined values generates a blank dot or a middle
dot in a solid small dot of an output image. In another embodiment
the gradation scale of a multilevel image forming device is subdivided
into N-1 portions and the quantization thresholds depend on the gradation
values according to sloped characteristics in each portion of the gradation scale.

Abstract: Selon un aspect, la présente invention concerne un procédé, un système et un détecteur capables de détecter une image aérienne produite, par exemple, par un matériel de lithographie optique utilisé dans la fabrication de semi-conducteurs. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'appareil comprend un dispositif d'émission de photo-électrons à affinité pour des électrons négatifs permettant de projeter une image aérienne sur ledit appareil. En réponse, le dispositif d'émission de photo-électrons émet des électrons dans un spectre d'énergie très serré selon un motif  correspondant é la répartition de l'intensité lumineuse produite par l'image aérienne. Une optique électronique sert à guider et à projeter les électrons dans le but d'agrandir le motif selon lequel les électrons sont émis. Une unité de détection capte le motif élargi et le relaie vers un dispositif destiné à capturer et à numériser ledit motif élargi pour l'obtention d'une image aérienne numérisée. L'augmentation de résolution s'obtient par un agrandissement du motif à l'aide de l'optique électronique. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'appareil utilise une couche photoconductrice sur laquelle l'image aérienne est projetée. Cette couche photoconductrice est faite d'un matériau semi-conducteur approprié pouvant être rendu localement conducteur en fonction de la répartition de l'intensité lumineuse de l'image aérienne et qui, en réponse à la projection de ladite image sur la couche photosensible, produit une déplétion de charge locale dans la couche photoconductrice correspondant à la répartition de l'intensité lumineuse. L'appareil peut également être assorti d'une source fournissant des électrons et d'un dispositif qui conduit les électrons sur la couche photoconductrice pour y produire des courants locaux de recharge proportionnellement à la déplétion de charge locale. A partir de ces courants de recharge, l'appareil peut produire un motif correspondant à l'image aérienne.
