Abstract: A print medium sheet having a main portion (10a) and trai­ling and leading end portions (10c,10b) is sized so that the main portion is sufficiently large to receive a printed image (40) from a printer. The end portions are separated from the main portion by perforations (12,14). During prin­ting, the end portions are not printable. When printing is completed, the end portions (10b,10c) are separated from the main portion (10a). The sheet consisting of the main portion (10a) is smaller than when the end portions were attached and is covered by a larger image than would be possible without printing with the end portions.

Abstract: A method for determining a desired image signal range comprises the steps of carrying out differentiation processing on image signal components of an image signal corresponding to positions located along each of a plurality of lines on a recording medium having a radiation image recorded thereon, which lines include lines extending across an image part corresponding to a radiation blocking material. Absolute values are found from the values resulting from the differentiation processing on the image signal components, which absolute values exceed a threshold value. The image signal components are extracted which correspond to the points on the recording medium associated with the absolute values exceeding the threshold value. A probability density function of the extracted image signal components is generated, and a specific signal value is found which is determined by a signal value corresponding to the maximum value of the probability density function. The signal range on the higher image density side than the specific signal value is determined as a desired image signal range.

Title: Light source device
Inventor: UMEGAKI SHINSUKE
IPC: G02B27/42
Filed: 1989-11-27
Abstract: A device for generating a second harmonic from a laser source is disclosed. The light from the laser (1) passes through an optical fiber (4) in which the second harmonic is generated. The light exiting from the optical fiber has a conical wave surface which is incident upon a collimating lens (5). Because the collimating lens has a diffraction lattice formed thereon, it is easy and efficient to collimate the second harmonic. It is also possible to decrease the size of the apparatus due to the use of the diffraction lattice formed on the collimator lens. This enable such a device to be particulary useful with a small sized light source such as a semiconductor laser.

Abstract: The critical current density J c  of a superconductive oxide film can be tailored, without substantial change in the critical temperature T c (R=0), by introduction of radiation damage into the superconductor. Exemplarily, this is done by exposure to energetic (e.g., 1 MeV) ions. The ability to tailor J c  permits optimization of SQUIDS and other thin film devices, and makes it possible to produce superconductive interconnects that comprise "fuses" or current limiters.

Abstract: Count, key, data (CKD) datas are stored on fixed block (FBA) disk recorders (DASD). A virtual track is created which emulates a physical CKD track such that the byte displacement of each CKD record on the virtual CKD track is the same as the byte displacement would be on a physical CKD track. This enables computer programs using CKD formatted data to record on the FBA recorder in an emulation mode. Each FBA block includes a header outside the addressing of the virtual CKD track which includes a byte displacement pointer to the beginning of a first CKD record stored in the FBA block, if any begins in such FBA block; otherwise the header indicates that no CKD record begins in the block. A last record indicator is included in the count field emulation for assisting in finding end of the virtual track.

IPC: H02P9/04
Filed: 1989-12-28
Abstract: A method of regulating the output voltage of an electric generator 10 combines a signal representative of the actual output of the generator with a reference signal to obtain a control signal proportional to the difference between the desired output and the actual output. The control signal is modified by a non-linear transfer func­tion which is representative of the gain of the generator over an expected operating speed and load range. The exciter field current of the generator is controlled in response to the modified control signal, thereby causing the actual output to approach the desired output. Compen­sation for variation in generator gain is provided by a non-linear element, inserted in the voltage control loop such that the total loop gain is substantially constant over the operating speed and load range of the generator.

Abstract: In the setting of the yarn cleaners for the fineness check, the number of false alarms permissible for a given yarn length, that is to say the permissible alarm frequency, is fixed. During the cleaning process, the measured values (GF) for the fineness are recorded continuously and their distribution is determined. From this distribution of the measured values and from the predetermined permissible alarm frequency, the response limits (GO, GU) are fixed independently by means of statistical regularities. …<??>The yarn cleaners can thus be given an optimum setting automatically by reference to the actual production conditions, and there can be no confusion between yarns differing in fineness only slightly. …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: The present invention is a process for separating isobutene from n-butene, while at same time producing methyl tertiary butyl ether, and then using the n-butene to alkylate benzene to produce butyl benzene by feeding a C₄ stream containing isobutene and normal butene and methanol to a first distillation column reactor concurrently contacting said mixture and said methanol with a fixed bed acid cation exchange resin package thereby catalytically reacting the isobutene with methanol to form methyl tertiary butyl ether and fractionating the resulting mixture withdrawing the ether from the first distillation column reactor as bottoms and the normal butene as overhead. The normal butene along with benzene is fed to a second distillation column reactor where said normal butene and said benzene contact a second fixed bed acidic packing thereby catalytically reacting said normal butene with a portion of said benzene to form n-butyl benzene. The resultant mixture of unreacted benzene and n-butyl benzene in said second fixed bed packing is fractionated to withdraw the n-butyl benzene from said second distillation column reactor as bottoms. Unreacted benzene from said second distillation column reactor is withdrawn overhead and returned as reflux with make up benzene. The n-butene has been substantially consumed in the alkylation reaction and there is very little in the overhead.
