Abstract: An ink jet recording apparatus comprises an edge detection unit that detects the positions of pixels in one pixel line in which data changes from 0 to 1 in accordance with the data serially converted from OR data in a state where the data representing OR of each recording data on each ink color, and a discharge control data formation unit that forms fixing process driving data including data 1 at a given ratio to AND data obtainable by operating AND between the serially converted data from the OR data and the detection output from the edge detection unit. With the structure thus arranged, it is made possible to optimally execute fixing process on the recording surface in accordance with recording data without the occurrence of any color mixture due to the application of fixing liquid.

Abstract: A closure for sealing the open end of body fluid collection, transport or storage
containers or tubes. The closure includes a ball and socket arrangement, wherein the ball
rotates within the socket to align a passageway through the ball with the opening in the tube.
To close the closure, a tab or protrusion extending from the ball is pushed to rotate the ball
and orient the passageway perpendicular to the opening of the tube. When the closure is in the
closed position, the ball and socket form a liquid tight seal to prevent liquid in the tube from
leaking out of the tube, evaporating or being contaminated.

Abstract: The present invention provides a radiation-protecting
agent which protects the active ingredient of
radiopharmaceuticals against the radiolysis caused by a
reaction of the active ingredient with water radicals

reactive active ingredient such as readily reducible
active ingredient. The radiation-protecting agent of
the present invention is characterized by comprising an
organic compound usable in medical drugs and having high
physiological acceptability and protecting the
radiolabeled active ingredient of radiopharmaceuticals
against the action of radiation. The reaction rate
constant of said organic compound with OH radical, H
radical or hydrated electron must be in the range of
from 1×10 8  to 5×10 10  M -1 s -1 , and when added to
radiopharmaceuticals, molar concentration of the organic
compound must be at least 50 times as high as molar

Abstract: A halftone generator for generating tint dots that are more circular than typical
Holladay dots. Two threshold arrays are used, one that is pixel-centered and one that is
interstice-centered. For each signal input level, the one that will produce a more circular

Abstract: The present invention provides an enhanced protocol converter which may be configured
as a network element (210), e.g. a digital switch (210), a node of the system or a digital
private exchange. The network element is for use in a telecommunications network
which supports at least one supplementary service (SS1, SS2, SS3) and which includes a
node, a message associated with a supplementary service (SS2) being transmittable
within the network including an information element in a first format which is
incompatible with the node, and a message associated with a supplementary service
(SS3) being transmittable within the network including an information element in a
second format compatible with the node. 
     The network element (210) examines the messages and determines if the format of an
information element therein is compatible with the next node. If it is, the message is
transmitted transparently. If not, the format is changed to the appropriate format for the
next node and for the relevant supplementary service.

Abstract: A method of increasing the brightness of a pulse width
modulation display system. Image bits are displayed during
display periods having a non-binary relationship. The display
period of an object bit 902 is set equal to a minimum data load
time, and the display periods of all other bits are initially
set to have a binary relationship with the object bit. The
display periods of at least one non-object bit 904, 906, 908 are
then reduced in order to reduce the total frame time to no more
than the available useable frame time 910. Preferably, only the
display periods of bit of significance greater than the object
bit are reduced. The reduction of display periods is guided by
Weber's law, in order to prevent the non-binary steps from being
noticeable or objectionable to the viewer.

Abstract: A pipe 13 having a penetrating hole 14 of smaller diameter than a
pressure port 11 is disposed in the pressure port 11. Therefore, a volume of
the pressure port 11 can be reduced by the thickness of the pipe 13, thereby
improving response of a pressure sensor. Furthermore, there is no need for
the pressure port having smaller diameter to be provided by drill processing, so
that a volume in the pressure port 11 can be easily adjusted. Accordingly, the
volume in the pressure port can be reduced with a simple structure to improve
response of the pressure sensor.

Abstract: Die heutigen Küchen weisen als Kochfelder typischerweise solche mit einer Glaskeramikplatte als Kochfläche auf. Diese sind typischerweise Stoß - auf - Stoß mit einem metallischen oder auch Kunststoffprofil als Adapter eingefasst, um die empfindlichen Kanten der Glaskeramikplatten gegen eine mechanische Beanspruchung zu schützen. Die üblicherweise für die Adapter verwendeten Profilwerkstoffe, wie eloxiertes Aluminium, Edelstahl usw., reagieren jedoch empfindlich auf eine direkte starke mechanische Oberflächenbelastung. Weiterhin sind für die unterschiedlichen Materialien verschiedene Reinigungsmittel notwendig und es leidet durch die verschiedenen Materialien nicht nur das äußere Erscheinungsbild, sondern auch die Haptik. Im Hinblick auf die beschränkte Verformbarkeit der Glaskeramikmaterialien sind zudem die konstruktiven als auch die designerischen Möglichkeiten eingeengt. Zur Vermeidung dieser Nachteile sieht die Erfindung vor, daß die Glaskeramikplatte (1) mit Formteilen (3, 4 b, 4 a, 5) aus vorzugsweise technischem Glas mit ausgeprägter mechanischer Beständigkeit als Adapter im direkten Gefüge eingefasst ist. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A positive electrode material capable of achieving high charge and
discharge efficiency and a secondary battery using the positive electrode
material. The positive electrode material contains a Li·Ni composite oxide
or a Li·Ni·Co composite oxide. Each of the composite oxides has a
characteristic that a reduction wave in a current-potential curve obtained
by cyclic voltammetry does not have a current peak in a range where the
potential is larger than 3.4V and smaller than 3.6V with a Li metal
potential used as a reference. The Li·Ni composite oxide has a mole ratio
of Ni to Li (Ni/Li) larger than 1.0 and is therefore non-stoichiometric. Thus,
in the positive electrode made of the positive electrode material, occurrence
of a distortion in a charging and discharging process is suppressed,
polarization does not become large even at the last stage of the discharge,
and a high charge and discharge efficiency can be achieved.

Abstract: The invention is useful in a variety of risk assessment contexts,
especially contexts involving a large number of variables and risk
factors or a large quantity of data to be analyzed for identifying and/or
quantifying correlations between variables and risk factors. In one
embodiment, a risk assessment system includes a processing unit
including a main processor that receives inputs from various sources
and provides outputs via various channels. The processing unit also
receives inputs from certain internal terminals and interfaces with
internal processing and storage elements. Based on various inputs,
the processor can access a database coprocessing unit and an
analytical tool storage to execute a correlation analysis to identify
and/or quantify correlations between certain variables and risk factors.
In the case of warranty businesses, such correlations can be used to
estimate project claim costs, which costs can then be compensated
through appropriate contract pricing.
