Patent EP-1195524-A2 (EP)
Inventor: YAJIMA TAKEO
IPC: G03F7/16
Filed: 2001-09-10
Abstract: To eliminate influence of discharge amounts depending on
changes in liquid level of a liquid storage tank and to improve
discharge accuracy of a liquid discharging apparatus. 
     By a pressure regulating opening portion for forming a
reference liquid surface maintaining a given pressure, pressure
inside a pump chamber before a discharging operation is kept
constant without affecting liquid level existing in the liquid
storage tank. Therefore, volume of the inside of the pump chamber
is kept constant and liquid can be discharged with higher
precision.

Abstract: It permits to equally make connection between
these elements by any of the conventional systems known as
"flexible automatic joint", "mechanical joint" and "by
means of flanges". 
     To achieve this, one of the connection ends has a
flared shape (2) with a trunco-conical portion (4) and
another portion being cylindrical (5). A connecting flange
(6) formed by two half-rings (20-21) rests on the trunco-conical
portion, permitting connection by means of flanges
(6, 15) or by mechanical joint (6-11), with the aid of a
counter-flange (11), a joint (13, 10) matching said trunco-conical
(4) and cylindrical (5) portions being interposed
in both cases. For joining by means of flexible automatic
joint, the smooth end of the pipe (1) penetrates via the
flared mouth (2) exceeding the cavity (8) where a hermetic
joint (9) is located.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un signal d'amplitude variable dans un premier amplificateur de puissance saturé qui produit un premier signal de sortie d'amplitude constante à partir d'une tension d'alimentation fixe. Ce signal d'amplitude variable est également amplifié dans un second amplifcateur de puissance qui, à partir d'une tension d'alimentation modulée, produit un second signal de sortie dont l'amplitude dépend du signal d'amplitude variable, d'une tension d'alimentation modulée et d'un signal de commande d'inversion/non inversion. Le premier et le second signal de sortie sont combinés dans une charge. L'alimentation à tension modulée est modulée pendant la production du signal de commande d'inversion/non inversion de sorte que les premier et second signaux de sortie combinées dans la charge amplifient le signal d'amplitude variable. Le signal d'amplitude variable peut également être du type à amplitude et à phase variables.

Abstract: In a patch measurement device, a data storage section
stores printed-image data including a control strip on a printed
material. Based on the pixel values constituting printed-image
data stored in the data storage section, a patch position
detection section detects the position of a patch. A color
density measurement section measures the color density of the
patch whose position has been detected by the patch position
detection section. A correlation coefficient ρm between a key
pattern x and subject data y which is calculated by a reference
mark detection section is represented as ρm=([x]*[y])-([x] -1 *[y]),
where [x]*[y] is a sum of multiplication products of
corresponding elements of the two matrices. Matrix [x] -1 
represents an inverted pattern of the key pattern x. Even if the
subject data y is of an unrelated pattern resembling the key
pattern x having different signal levels from those of the key
pattern x, the resultant correlation coefficient ρm has a small
value, thereby indicative of a low correlation. The resultant
correlation coefficient ρm also becomes small if the subject data
y is that of a solid patch, due to cancellation by a drastic
subtraction.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for operating a digital
system having several processors (102, 104) and peripheral
devices (106, 116) connected to a shared memory subsystem (112).
Two or more of the processors execute separate operating
systems. In order to control access to shared resources, a set
of address space regions within an address space of the memory
subsystem is defined within system protection map (SPM) (150).
Resource access rights are assigned to at least a portion of the
set of regions to indicate which initiator resource is allowed
to access each region. Using the address provided with the
access request, the region being accessed by a memory access
request is identified by the SPM. During each access request,
the SPM identifies the source of the request using a resource
identification value (R-ID) provided with each access request
and then a determination is made of whether the resource
accessing the identified region has access rights for the
identified region. Access to the identified region is allowed
to an initiator resource only if the resource has access rights
to the identified region, otherwise an error process is
initiated (151).

Abstract: In order to form a noise suppressor in a hose
of e.g. a motor vehicle, modular portions (60,68) are
connected in series to define suppression chambers (76,80)
with particular noise suppression characteristics.
Those characteristics are due to the volume of each
chamber, to the size of the apertures (78,84) from the
chambers (76,80) to the central duct of the suppressor,
and optionally due to spacers which are inserted
into at least one aperture (78,84) of the chambers (76,80)
to alter the effective open area of that aperture
(78,84). Such spacers may also be used in which
the noise suppressor is not modular. Where modular
portions are used, it is preferable that each chamber is
bounded by parts of two modular portions. A wall of one
modular portion may then close the chamber in another
modular portion, making the manufacture of the modular
portions easier. A mass acting as a damper, which may be the
noise suppressor is connected to the hose by resilient means e.g.
elastomeric material.
