Abstract: A liquid jet head is provided with discharge ports for discharging liquid, liquid flow paths conductively connected with the discharge ports, air bubble generating areas for creating air bubbles in the liquid, and movable members arranged to face the air bubble generating areas, each having a free end in a position relatively near to the discharge port with respect to a fulcrum thereof. This movable member is inclined to position the free end of the movable member to release the air bubble generating area partly to the discharge port so as to enable the tangential line of the free end of the movable member on the side of the air bubble generating area or the extended line thereof to reach directly the discharge port formation area having the discharge port on the liquid flow path side before the creation of air bubble on the air bubble generating area, and with this position as reference, the movable member is displaced following the creation of air bubble on the air bubble generating area. With this arrangement, the liquid discharging efficiency and speed are significantly enhanced as compared with the conventional liquid jet head, and due to more stabilized discharge of droplets from the discharge ports, the quality of recorded images is improved.

Abstract: An image that includes black-and-white text ― from
which most chromatic-colorant data in text areas have already
been stripped ― is enhanced by removing all chromatic-colorant
data from a region of the image data array,
independent of object type. Removal occurs only if color-data
conditions are met; the data array is then applied to
print the image. The system includes storage and automatic
retrieval of instructions for automatically evaluating
the condition, removing chromatic-colorant data, and applying
the color-stripped data in printing. The conditions
include whether the amount of chromatic-colorant data
in (A) the region is less than a certain threshold; (B)
an entire row immediately above the region is less than a
second threshold; (C) a region adjacent to the region is
less than a third threshold; and (D) a vertical column
above the particular region exceeds a fourth threshold.
In this last case the system counts a number of consecutive
regions, vertically above the region, from which
chromatic-colorant data have been removed; and then  refrains 
from removing chromatic-colorant data from the region
if the count exceeds the fourth threshold. The system
thus limits the effect of the first three conditions,
to deter chromatic-colorant removal from a substantially
continuous thin vertical chromatic-color line. The four
thresholds are disclosed and explained.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for substantially reducing tonal noise and or vibration
generated by a rotating machine. The power supplied to the rotating machine or motor
drive signal is modulated as a function of time so that the shaft rate of the rotating
machine is varied as a function of time. The motor drive signal or power signal can be
modulated in an alternating current (AC) machine wherein the shaft rate is related to the
power line frequency, as well as a direct current (DC) machine wherein the shaft rate is
related to the DC level applied, to alter the shaft rate as a function of time. Such drive
power modulation causes the drive signal energy to spread into new frequencies. As a
result, the radiated tonal components are spread out such that the strength of the rotating
machine's tonal radiation is substantially reduced. In addition, "beating" effects related
to the operation of multiple machines can be reduced.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé améliorés pour effectuer une inversion et corriger l'effet d'épaulement de lit. Ce procédé améliore la résolution des diagraphies électriques des propagations d'ondes et corrige les diagraphies en tenant compte des effets des lits adjacents. Ainsi, les diagraphies obtenues présentent une réponse verticale aussi bonne que les diagraphies d'induction à résolution élevée. Le procédé consiste dans un premier temps à réaliser une diagraphie en cours de forage sur une formation pour obtenir des données de diagraphies électriques réalisées en cours de forage. Le procédé sélectionne ensuite une ou plusieurs profondeurs de contrôle, au niveau d'un ou de plusieurs emplacement de chacun des lits détectés dans la formation. La présente invention traite aussi d'un nouveau procédé pour sélectionner des limites des lits à partir des données des diagraphies, et les profondeurs de contrôle sont ensuite déterminées en fonction des limites de lits déterminées. Le procédé évalue ensuite la résistivité de chaque lit uniquement au niveau des profondeurs de contrôle sélectionnées pour produire une résistivité estimée des lits. Le procédé calcule ensuite une valeur de diagraphie estimée au niveau de chaque profondeur de contrôle en se fondant sur une estimation courante de la résistivité des lits. La diagraphie simulée calculée est ensuite comparée aux données de la diagraphie réelle au niveau de chaque profondeur de contrôle, et la résistivité de chaque lit est ajustée à l'aide de la différence entre les valeurs réelles et les valeurs simulées au niveau des profondeurs de contrôle. Le procédé susmentionné répète plusieurs fois ces étapes jusqu'à ce que la diagraphie simulée corresponde sensiblement à la diagraphie réelle au niveau des profondeurs de contrôle. Le procédé permettant de déterminer les limites des lits dans la formation comprend, de préférence, l'ajustement d'un polynome cubique en profondeur à la conductivité, ou une diagraphie de la conductivité, à l'aide d'une méthode de compensation linéaire et pondérée des moindres carrés. L'ajustement de la courbe des données de la diagraphie est effectuée plusieurs fois sur des parties des données de diagraphie, à l'aide d'un procédé de fenêtrage. Ce procédé consiste à déplacer une fenêtre sur des données de diagraphie selon des incréments périodiques, et à assurer l'ajustement de la courbe sur la fenêtre des données de la diagraphie, selon des incréments périodiques lors du déplacement de la fenêtre sur les données de diagraphie. Le procédé détermine ensuite les points d'inflexion des données de la diagraphie après l'ajustement de la courbe pour chacune des fenêtres. Le procédé sélectionne ensuite des limites de lits pour les points d'inflexion de l'ajustement de la courbe des données de la diagraphie.

Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for a dual
compression and dual expansion internal combustion engine
that is compact, efficient, and has low combustion noise
and emissions. The subject engine includes a low pressure
piston assembly reciprocally disposed in an operating
chamber defined in a housing. A pair of opposed high
pressure piston assemblies are directly mounted on a pair
of geared together, counter rotating, crankshafts and
reciprocally disposed in bores of the low pressure piston
assembly. The disposition of the second and third piston
assemblies within their respective bores defines a
combustion chamber. An intake chamber for compression of
inducted air and an exhaust chamber for expansion of
exhaust gas are defined in the operating chamber between
the low pressure piston assembly and the housing. Air
moves from the intake chamber to the exhaust chamber, but
in the process the air compressed, mixed with fuel, and
combusted. The resulting gas is expanded in the combustion
space between the high pressure piston assemblies. A
complete cycle from start of air entry into the intake
chamber to the exit of the exhaust gas of the same charge
from the exhaust chamber takes approximately 900 degrees of
rotation of the crankshafts during which the intake
chamber, the combustion chamber, and the exhaust chamber
each undergoes five "strokes". Thus, the disclosed engine
is compact, efficient, and has less combustion noise, and
low emissions.

Abstract: Match selection circuits are connected to
respective ones of match lines connecting corresponding
rows of CAM cells associated with word lines. A match
selection control circuit, the inputs of which are the
word lines, generates match line inhibit signals that
inhibit a search when a data search is conducted in the
CAM. On the basis of a precharge signal from a control
circuit and a match line inhibit signal from the match
selection control circuit applied thereto, the match
selection circuits inhibit a data search in row-direction
CAM cells connected to the match lines that are connected
to these match selection circuits, respectively, thereby
specifying a data search range in terms of individual word
lines. A match line corresponding to each word line in
the specified search range attains a non-match state
regardless of whether the result of a search is a match
or non-match. Thus a data search range is specified by
the positions of selected word lines. The number of data
search operations is reduced and less power is consumed
when the CAM operates.

Abstract: There is disclosed an electrode 10 generating hydro-dynamic pressure
for electrolytic dressing grinding. The electrode has a plurality of narrow
portions 11 having constant gaps from a processed surface 1a of a grinding wheel
1, and a plurality of concave portions 12 each disposed between the narrow
portions and having a gap wider than the narrow portion. A section of flow
path (gap) formed between the grinding wheel 1 and the electrode 10 becomes
concave/convex along a moving direction of the grinding wheel 1. When the
liquid repeatedly flows through the concave/convex gap, dynamic and static
pressures generated in the gap largely fluctuate. By the fluctuation, the
adhesion of metal deposits to the narrow portions 11 is reduced, and the concave
portions 12 form pockets, so that the electrolytic liquid can be stably supplied and
the inclusion of air can be reduced.

Abstract: An electrosurgical generator has an output power control system (10) that causes the
impedance of tissue (14) to rise and fall in a cyclic pattern until the tissue (14) is desiccated. The
advantage of the power control system (10) is that thermal spread and charring are reduced. In
addition, the power control system (10) offers improved performance for electrosurgical vessel sealing
and tissue welding. The output power is applied cyclically by a control system with tissue impedance
feedback. The impedance of the tissue follows the cyclic pattern of the output power several times,
depending on the state of the tissue (14), until the tissue becomes fully desiccated. High power is
applied to cause the tissue (14) to reach a high impedance, and then the power is reduced to allow the
impedance to fall. Thermal energy is allowed to dissipate during the low power cycle. The control
system is adaptive to tissue in the sense that output power is modulated in response to the impedance of
the tissue.

Abstract: A P bus from a CPU, an MC bus from a system memory,
an IO bus to which an input/output device has been
connected, and a G bus for transferring image data of a
scanner/printer controller are connected to a system bus
bridge (SBB). The SBB connects any of the P bus, G bus
and IO bus as a master and any of the MC bus and IO bus
as a slave in dependence upon a request from a master.
At this time the P bus and IO bus can be connected in
parallel with the G bus and MC bus. As a result, access
to the memory by the scanner/printer controller can be
carried out in parallel with use of the input/output
device by the CPU. This makes it possible to process a
large quantity of data, such as image data, efficiently.
