Abstract: The use of linear axicons or similar optical elements in a bar code scanner produces a scanning spot of a size correlated generally with dimensions of features of the scanned information, wherein the spot size remains substantially constant for varying distances between the scanner and the symbol over a substantial range of distances. Optical elements of this type produce a diffraction pattern comprising a central lobe and a number of rings surrounding the central lobe. An aperture is provided to limit the beam and thus the number of rings in the pattern which actually reach the symbol during scanning. The extent of the limited beam and the phase front tilt angle produced by the optical element are chosen to produce a desired resolution, which relates to the density of symbols the scanner is to read, and to produce a desired working range. The invention also provides a modular light emitting device including a universal light emitting module (41) and an optical assembly, including the axicon (44) and aperture (46), mounted on the module to adapt the optical characteristics of light from the module to conform to the requirements of a particular scanning application.

Abstract: Methodology and apparatus are described which employ an improved modular service station (16) design wherein a printhead-servicing sled (20) is selectively vertically driven to effect execution of servicing tasks. In keeping with its desired modularity, the sled (20) is made readily removable using an improved clamp and sled (20) arrangement. The sled (20) is driven by a unique drive system (30) such drive system (30) being capable of effectively selectively stalling or locking instrumentality such as the sled (20) in various positions defined along its path of vertical movement. To save time and space, both the printhead (14 a , 14 b ) and the servicing mechanism such as the wipers (24 a , 24 b ) and the caps (22 a , 22 b ) are moved so as to place them in proper relative positions for execution of a task. Precise relative positions of the servicing mechanism and the printhead (14 a , 14 b ) are achieved and maintained during the course of a servicing task such as printhead capping by employment of an improved printhead registration system (30) which limits relative rotation between the printhead (14 a , 14 b ) and the servicing mechanism.

Abstract: An assembly and method provide a continuous supply of packaging film (14) to a form, fill and seal packaging machine (M) with two spindles (20, 24) alternately operating as the active spindle (20) to feed the film (14) from one roll at a time. Opposed pneumatic manifolds (32, 34) are operative to splice the tail-end (E₁) of the film (14) from the active roll (12) to the head-end (E₂) of the film (18) from the standby roll (16). The opposed manifolds (32, 34) pivot in opposite directions away from the machine (M) to provide easy access for loading. A programmable controller (48) controls the splicing operation. Valves (44) operated by the controller (48) connect a vacuum source (35) to one of the manifolds (32, 34) to hold the head-end (E₂) at a splicing station (11) and to the other to maintain tension on the active film (14) after the tail-end (E₁) leaves the spindle (20). An end-of-roll detector (45) near the spindle (20) triggers the tensioning function. The width of the manifold (32, 34) is adjustable to accommodate different width film (14). A photocell detector (80, 100) and encoder (85) in the circuit (C) allow tracking of the tail-end (E₁). When it arrives at the splicing station (11), the appropriate control valve (44) rapidly switches to apply an air blast generated by positive pneumatic pressure to blow the tail-end/head-end (E₁, E₂) together so that adhesive tape (T) pre-applied to the head-end (E₁) is securely attached to the tail-end (E₁) to complete the splicing operation. The programmable controller (48) continues to track the splice through the packaging machine (M) to initiate a dry cycle and removal of the splice section.

Abstract: A phase-shifting mask (21) is composed of material including a substrate carrying a first phase-shifting layer (22) having a phase-shift of 0, a second phase-shifting layer (24) stacked upon the first layer having a phase-shift of (21π- 0), and a third phase-shifting layer (26) stacked upon the second layer next with a phase-shift of 0. Missing phase-shifters, unwanted phase-shifters, or defects in the transparent films are repaired by removing one or two layers depending upon whether the phase-shifting status has to be retained or altered. In one alternative a large etch selectivity exists between the first, second and third layers, or else a lack of etch selectivity is complemented with etch stop layers embedded between the phase-shifting layers as follows : a) if an defect is found in a phase-shifted area and the defect must be removed without turning the phase-shifted area into a non-phase -shifted area, then two successive layers in the phase-shifted area are removed ; b) if an error is found in a non-phase-shift area, then the mask call be repaired in the area surrounding the error by removing the layer in the area to make the area a phase-shifted area ; c) if a defect is found in a non-phase-shifted area and the defect must be removed without turning the phase-shifted area into a phase-shifted area, then two successive layers in the non-phase-shifted area are removed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a paper-feed control apparatus for a printer that reduces the frequency of paper-feed failures by automatically performing a clearing operation if a malfunction should occur in the supply of paper. Paper stacked in a paper tray 1 is separated one sheet at a time by separator tabs 5, and then is sent in a conveyor direction by the rotation of a feed roller 3. If the paper should jam partway during this separation and conveyor process, a paper-feed motor that drives the feed roller 3 is driven intermittently. This intermittent operation produces a large paper conveyor force from repeated generation of a large frictional force between the roller and the paper, and thus the frequency of paper-feed failures is reduced.

Abstract: A wiper according to the invention comprises two or more wiper blades (60-64, 68, 69, 76, 77) arranged one behind the other in close proximity, where the two or more wiper blades are different from one another so as to have slightly different wiping swaths. The resulting wipers greatly increase the allowable alignment tolerance between the wiper and the nozzle member (16) of a printhead (14), especially if the printhead (14) is of the kind having raised adhesive beads (22, 23) dispensed near the ends of the nozzle member (16). In one embodiment, two different size wiper blades (68, 69, 76, 77), arranged one behind the other, have slits formed near the ends of the wiper blades. The slits mechanically decouple those end portions (70-73, 80-82) of the wiper blades which ride over the adhesive beads (22, 23) from the remaining 20 portions of the wiper blades to keep the remaining portions of the blades in contact with the nozzle member (16).

The waste gas with the toxic substance is heated in the chamber and is guided along the surfaces in question. The porous silicon dioxide layer is cut away by thermal oxidation of silane or another silicon gas following purification phases in the chamber. The secondary, fluid toxic substance e.g. silicon fluoride, formed from the chemical reaction of the fluoride toxic substance with the hot silicon dioxide is hydrolysed using absorption and may also be neutralised.

Abstract: A power output apparatus (20) of the present invention includes a clutch motor (30), an assist motor (40), an engine (50), and a controller (80) for controlling the clutch motor (30) and the assist motor (40). Auxiliary machinery driven by the rotation of a crankshaft (56), such as a cooling pump (104) and a P/S pump (106), are connected directly or via a belt (102) to a crankshaft (56B) of the engine (50). When the assist motor (40) rotates a drive shaft (22) only with electric power stored in a battery (94) under the non-operating condition of the engine (50), the clutch motor (30) applies a torque of rotational motion TST to the crankshaft (56) to rotate the crankshaft (56) at a predetermined revolving speed. This structure allows the crankshaft (56) to be rotated even when the engine (50) is at a stop, thereby supplying the required power to drive the auxiliary machinery.
