Abstract: A tubular heating body, with an incorporated overheating safety system, has an outer connection bolt (8) with a diameter which is smaller than the diameter of the overheating safety unit (7). A shrouding (11), with electrical insulation, fits tightly at the wall of the overheating safety unit (7) and partly round the outer connection bolt (8). The interior of the mantle tube is filled with an electrical insulation casting mass (12) between the two sleeves (5, 9) and round the safety unit (7), the outer connection bolt (8) and the insulation shrouding (11).

Abstract: In the RTOS (Real Time Operating System) of this
invention, task programs are programmed without including a
cache memory management process. The RTOS itself includes
the process. Generally, the time of transmitting task code
is longer than that of switching between tasks so that
waiting time has occurred in a conventional RTOS. The RTOS
of this invention loads a task to a cache bank at the frame
before executing the task so that the waiting time does not
occur and the cache memory management process cause no
delay time.

Abstract: A method for regenerating the original data of a
digitally coded video film is described, in which a
specific picture type of a number of picture types (I, B,
P) has been allocated to each of the individual pictures
during coding and the coding order (DEO) does not
correspond, at least in part, to the display order (DIO).
This method provides for an independent time base to be
used in order to recover the display order, which time
base is obtained from internal information items in the
decoder, the information items having been stored during
the preceding decoding of a number of pictures. This
method has the advantage that even with the omission of a
header of a Group of Pictures (GOPH), the correct display
order can still be achieved, even if the otherwise
customary temporal reference codes in the bit stream
signal an incorrect display order. 
     An apparatus for carrying out the method is
furthermore proposed.

Abstract: Color data for a color image device (12) having a first color range (gamut) are
converted into color data for a color image device (18) having a second color range
(gamut). For preventing colors from being altered when color data are converted, first
color data in the first color range (gamut) of the first image device (12) is converted
into corresponding colors by referring to a classification table (13) representing the
correspondence between colors determined based on human color perception and the fist
color data, and then the first color data is converted into second color data in the second
color range (gamut) of the second image device (18) with respect to each of the
classified colors. Since each of the colors based on the human color perception is
converted, colors are prevented from being altered due to the conversion. Because each
of the colors of a color image is converted, the clearness of the color image will not be
lost.

IPC: B05D1/18

Abstract: The system includes a major tank (111) containing liquid material for dipping
an article (W) thereinto; and a circulatory mechanism (P11,P12) for circulating the
liquid material through the major tank (111). The circulatory mechanism is arranged to
cause a flow of the liquid material through the major tank (111) such that the majority
of the flow is in one direction that is substantially along the longitudinal direction of the
major tank. Thus, contaminants and/or bubbles are not distributed over the entire major
tank, but are effectively promptly removed from the major tank. The flow of the liquid
material may include a first flow and a second flow that is lower than the first flow.
The first and second flows run substantially in parallel with each other, before they
reach the downstream end in the major tank. The major tank may be formed at the
downstream end with a wall having a special configuration such that the first and
second flows separate or diverge from each other at the downstream end, and thus the
flow of the liquid material through the major tank becomes very smooth.

the reproducible state due to the increase in
reproducing magnetic field is repeated while increasing
the reproducing laser power step by step. The
reproducible state can be also measured while
alternately increasing the reproducing laser power and
the reproducing magnetic field.

Abstract: An ink-jet printer and an apparatus and a method of driving a recording head for
an ink-jet printer are provided for suppressing satellite droplets. Two piezoelectric
elements are provided for every ink chamber corresponding to each nozzle. Timing
of displacement of the piezoelectric elements is adjusted by applying a drive signal
for ink droplet ejection to one of the piezoelectric elements and a drive signal for
suppressing satellite droplets when a droplet is ejected to the other piezoelectric
element. An auxiliary pressure generated by the displacement of the latter
piezoelectric element is superimposed on an ejection pressure generated by the
displacement of the former piezoelectric element. Trailing of ink droplet is
cut off at an early stage and generation of satellite droplets is suppressed.
