Abstract: Disclosed is a color image forming apparatus in
which a plurality of developed images superposed one
upon the other are transferred onto a recording medium.
The transfer capability of the developing agent is
improved by using a first developing agent containing a
additive having a small average particle diameter,
followed by using a second developing agent containing
a second additive having a large average particle
diameter larger. Alternatively, a first developing
agent containing a first toner having a small roundness
is used first, followed by using a second developing
agent containing a second toner having a large
roundness. Still alternatively, a first developing
agent containing a small amount of a first additive is
used first, followed by using a second developing agent
containing a large amount of a second additive.

Abstract: A content addressable memory (CAM) system (50) is disclosed
which includes a CAM array (52) for storing an array of data
words. More than one data word is stored on each row with the
bits of the data word columns interleaved with each other. The
CAM array (52) is accessed during one of several modes of
operation in accordance with signals from a bit line controller
(54) which activate certain ones of a plurality of bit lines
coupling the bit line controller (54) to the CAM array (52).
The modes of operation, as indicated by a mode control signal,
include a write mode, a read mode and a match mode. In first
embodiment of the present invention, the bit line controller
(54) sequentially accesses each of the columns of data words by
selectively activating certain of the bit lines in accordance
with a column address signal and the mode control signal. In a
second embodiment of the present invention, the bit line
controller (54) sequentially access each of the columns of data
words by selectively activating certain of the bit lines in
accordance with the column address signal, the mode control
signal and a pre-determined portion of the data contents. A
plurality of row select lines, each associated with one of the
rows of the CAM array (52) are addressed by a row address signal
decoded by address decoder (53). A plurality of match lines,
each also associated with one of the rows of the CAM array (52),
indicate in response to the match operation whether or not the
target data matched any of the data words stored in its
associated row of the CAM array (52). A priority encoder (58)
then generates an address out signal indicating the location of
the highest priority match found in the CAM array (52).

Abstract: A purge system is disclosed for flushing liquid fuel and water from the
combustion section of a gas turbine system as well as for providing
continuous cooling of the nozzles. The gas turbine may operate on liquid
fuel or gaseous fuel. When the turbine is switched to burn gaseous fuel,
the liquid fuel remaining in the liquid fuel system is flushed by a liquid
fuel purge system. Similarly, water in the water injection system is purged
from nozzles in the combustion system by a water purge system. The
purge system operates in conjunction with an air atomization system, but
does not rely on an atomizing air compressor to boost the pressure of the
purge air. Instead, the purge system utilizes pressurized air from the gas
turbine compressor (202) and directs the purge air to manifolds
(206,234,236) which distribute air to the atomizing air passages, liquid
fuel nozzles, and water injection nozzles via purge valves (222,224) and
soft purge valves (252,253).
