Abstract: An automated lamination system for transferring a image to a print medium includes a photoconductive drum (25) bearing a toned image on an electrostatic outer surface (26) thereof. A dual purpose, heated lamination roller (55) is moved to a first lamination position adjacent the drum to define a first nip between the drum and roller. The first nip in part defines a path for an image transfer web (32), and forces a thermally activated adhesive layer on the web against the drum. The image on the drum surface (25) is embedded in the heated and softened adhesive layer as the web (32) is advanced under pressure through the first nip. The dual purpose roller is later moved to a second lamination position adjacent a second lamination roller (88), to define a second nip therebetween. The second nip is configured to receive an image transfer substrate (80) in registry with the latent image embedded in the adhesive of the web (32). The substrate (80) and web (32) are advanced through the second nip under heat and pressure, which forces the substrate (80) against the adhesive layer and causes the substrate to adhere to the adhesive. A separation roller assembly spaced from the second nip along the path separates the web (32) from the substrate (80) so that the image embedded in the adhesive layer is borne by the image transfer substrate. The substrate is further processed through an optional inline deglossing station (112,114), while the web is rewound to align the remaining adhesive thereon with the drum for the transfer of another image.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device such as a ROM is provided with a word line test circuit and a word line drive circuit. The word line test circuit outputs a high level signal when a test signal is applied and a low level signal when the test signal is not applied. The word line drive circuit drives the respective word lines in the memory cell array, and is connected to the output of the word line test circuit, so that when driving one group of word lines (either the odd-numbered word lines or the even-numbered word lines), a high level signal is applied to the one group of word lines, and when not driving the one group of word lines, a low level signal is applied to the one group of word lines. On the other hand, when driving the other group of word lines, a high level signal is applied to the other group of word lines, and when not driving the other group of word lines, the output signal from the word line test circuit is applied to the other group of word lines, thereby enabling short circuits between adjacent word lines to be identified quickly. A bit line test switch circuit is provided which is connected to the bit lines in the memory cell array. In response to a test signal, the bit line test switch circuit applies signals of different levels to the odd-numbered and even-numbered bit lines respectively, and short circuits between adjacent bit lines can be identified quickly.

Abstract: Orbiting satellites (12) project footprints (30) on the earth. Each footprint (30) is divided into cells (28). Footprints (30) of nearby satellites (12) overlap one another, and the overlap increases as satellites (12) approach a pole from the equator. The positions of all cells (28) generated by all satellites (12) are simulated (36) at numerous points throughout an orbit. Cells (28) are marked as being active or inactive to compensate for the overlap at each simulated point. Channel sets are assigned to cells (28) within a reference footprint (30a), and this assignment is propagated throughout all footprints (30) in the referenced footprint's orbit. The channel set sequences are propagated to other orbits after taking into account inactive cells located near boundaries between the orbits. Each satellite (12) stores channel set assignments for its cells (28) at the various points throughout its orbit. All satellites (12) switch their communication parameters at the same instant in response to the channel set assignments.
