Patent EP-1016934-A3 (EP)
Inventor: YAMANAKA TOSHIO
IPC: G03G15/00
Filed: 1996-03-06
Abstract: An image forming apparatus provided with a
photoreceptor (1) with an internal gear includes the
internal gear (21) in a photoreceptor drum, a pinion gear (23)
in engagement with the internal gear, and a cleaning
unit (7) and a developer unit (4) which apply contact pressure
onto the photoreceptor drum. The pinion gear is
provided in such an area that a resulting force of the
contact pressure respectively applied from the process
elements does not cause a distortion of the
photoreceptor drum which exceeds an axial backlash
determined in initialization according to a distance
between axes of the pinion gear and the internal gear.
The described arrangement prevents interference
between non-driving surfaces of the internal gear and
the pinion gear. As a result, a smooth rotary motion
of the photoreceptor drum can be ensured, thereby
preventing an image defect caused by an unstable
rotary motion of the photoreceptor drum. A reinforcing
member fis formed to prevent deformation of the internal
gear member (21).

Abstract: An method wherein a group III nitride semiconductor is grown
laterally from a surface (56a,56b)
formed in a first epitaxial layer (52) having a different lattice
parameter allows for the formation of epitaxial layer (55) that includes
a region (60) that is substantially free of cracks (17). Growing the second
epitaxial layer (55) from a side wall (56a,56b) of a trench (57) formed
in a first epitaxial layer (52)
rotates the growth direction of the second epitaxial layer (55) through
approximately 90° with respect to the major surface (63) of the first
epitaxial layer (52). In this manner, cracks (17) that occur in the
second epitaxial layer (55) tend to occur in the direction perpendicular
to the side wall (56a,56b) from which the second epitaxial growth
initiates, which direction is also parallel to the major surface (63) of the
first epitaxial material (52). This results in a substantially crack-free
epitaxial material (60) growing out of the trench (57). The substantially
crack-free epitaxial layer (60) may by used to
grow successive epitaxial layers.

Abstract: An ultrasonic image apparatus is provided in which a diagnostic object
is separated from the background to show the separated object in a three
dimensional image. Here, a contour of a target object is automatically
separated and extracted and the extracted information is used to visualize
the object in three dimension. Thus, the object can be visualized in three
dimension based on the extracted information, to thereby observe the shape
of the object without having a physical treatment such as a surgical
operation. It is also possible to display the shape of the two dimensional
cross-section on a monitor in the case that the object is cut at a certain
angle without running a surgical operation. Also, since the shape
information of the three dimensional object can be obtained additionally, the
volume of the apparatus necessary for diagnosis can be obtained without
making a particular additional calculation.

Abstract: A method is provided for driving a plasma display
panel (1) that includes first and second display
electrodes (X, Y) for generating surface discharge and
address electrodes (A) that cross the display
electrodes (X, Y) via a dielectric layer. In the
preparation process of the addressing for forming a
charge distribution corresponding to the display
contents, a charge forming step and a charge adjusting
step are performed. The charge forming step generates
wall voltage having the same polarity at the same kind
of interelectrode of all cells constituting the screen,
for three kinds of interelectrodes, an interelectrode
XY between the display electrodes, an interelectrode XA
between the first display electrodes, an interelectrode
XA between the first display electrode and the address
electrode, and an interelectrode YA between the second
display electrode and the address electrode. The
charge adjusting step decreases the wall voltage by
applying an increasing voltage that increases
continuously or step by step. 
     In this way, a plasma display panel that can
enlarge the voltage margin and can realize a stable
display can be provided.

Abstract: In order to transmit variable length encoded data in
low signal to noise ratio environments, a first data pattern
is added to a beginning portion of encoded data to signify a
beginning of the encoded data. Further, a second data
pattern is added to end portion of the encoded data to
signify and end of the encoded data. Additionally, since the
encoded data may naturally include the second data pattern
and thereby mistakenly indicate an end of the encoded data,
the encoded data is first checked for such a pattern. If the
pattern is found within the encoded data, a new pattern is
substituted therefore. In order to counter errors, patterns
similar to the first data pattern are also substituted with
new patterns. As such, a variable length encoded data can be
transmitted in a low signal to noise ratio environment, and
can thereafter be easily decoded.
