Patent EP-0759557-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TAKAHASHI HIRONORI
IPC: G01R29/12
Filed: 1996-07-31
Abstract: The trigger circuit in accordance with the present invention comprises a frequency multiplying portion which receives an electric signal to be measured and multiplies its repetitive frequency so as to output a multiple signal, a comparing portion which receives this multiple signal and outputs a square wave signal corresponding to its value, and a dividing portion which divides the square wave signal so as to output a trigger signal. Accordingly, even when a noise component is superposed on the electric signal to be measured, a trigger signal having little jitter and a repetitive frequency lower than that of the electric signal to be measured is output. Also, the electric field measuring apparatus in accordance with the present invention comprises this trigger circuit and measures, with a highly accurate timing, the electric field of the object to be measured.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an ink jet recording head by combining each of the processes to fabricate a heater board comprises (I) the first step of patterning a resistive layer on a substrate, (II) the second step of laminating a first protection layer and patterning the protection layer to form a groove by removing an area for wiring electrode layers to be formed later, (III) the third step of laminating a layer formed by material for use of the wiring electrode layers, (IV) the forth step of continuously giving heat treatment to the surface of the substrate, while the surface is not allowed to be exposed to the air outside, to enable the layer formed by the material of the wiring electrode layers to flow into only the groove on the first protection layer provided in the first step, and making the surface flat, as a result of which, a pair of electrode layers are formed to enable the resistive layer between them to be constituted as the heat generating unit and (V) the fifth step of forming a second protection layer. With this method of manufacture, it is possible to provide an ink jet recording head whose power dissipation is small, while having a good durability and capability of recording in high quality.

IPC: G06K9/66

Abstract: A technique for automatically training a set of character templates using unsegmented training samples uses as input a two-dimensional (2D) image of characters, called glyphs, as the source of training samples, a transcription associated with the 2D image as a source of labels for the glyph samples, and an explicit, formal 2D image source model that models as a grammar the structural and functional features of a set of 2D images that may be used as the source of training data. The input transcription may be a literal transcription associated with the 2D input image, or it may be nonliteral, for example containing logical structure tags for document formatting, such as found in markup languages. The technique uses spatial positioning information about the 2D image modeled by the 2D image source model and uses labels in the transcription to determine labeled glyph positions in the 2D image that identify locations of glyph samples. The character templates are produced using the input 2D image and the labeled glyph positions without assigning pixels to glyph samples prior to training. In one implementation, the 2D image source model is a regular grammar having the form of a finite state transition network, and the transcription is also represented as a finite state network. The two networks are merged to produce a transcription-image network, which is used to decode the input 2D image to produce labeled glyph positions that identify training data samples in the 2D image. In one implementation of the template construction process, a pixel scoring technique is used to produce character templates contemporaneously from blocks of training data samples aligned at glyph positions.

Abstract: A loudspeaker system which can be utilized with laptop PCs employs a loudspeaker enclosure having a unique shape which is easily mounted to the back of a display of the laptop PC and also provides sufficient compliant air volume to yield high quality sound. More specifically, the higher quality sound and ease of mounting is realized by employing a loudspeaker enclosure which is in the form of an "L-shape". This allows one leg of the L-shaped enclosure to be employed to attach the loudspeaker, for example, to the back of the laptop PC display unit and allows the speaker portion that is visible to be of minimal size. Additionally, the "L-shaped" loudspeaker enclosure, in addition to providing the desired compliant air volume for quality sound, also allows for the majority of the loudspeaker enclosure to be hidden from the view of a laptop PC user and, therefore, is more aesthetically pleasing to the user.

Also claimed is preparation of (meth)acrylic acid. Preferably in step (c) the acid-rich phase is returned to step (a). 1-100 (100) wt.% of the phase remaining from step (a) is used in step (b). Pure end product is added to steps (a) and (b). Step (a) involves crystallisation, freezing or sublimation, preferably static and/or dynamic crystallisation, and most preferably a combined static and dynamic crystallisation in which the residue from the dynamic crystallisation is added to the static crystallisation step and the crystallised product from the static crystallisation is returned to the dynamic crystallisation.

Abstract: An Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL) circuit includes therein a constant potential generating circuit which is comprised of a load resistor, an active pull-down transistor and a constant current source. By containing the constant potential generating circuit which has been independently provided externally to an ECL circuit, the ECL logic circuit is operable at the power supply potential of -4.5 V or -5.2 V at the high speed with reduced power supply consumption. The constant current source is an NPN transistor whose base is connected to an output node of a bias circuit, and the output of the bias circuit is an output having a value set so that a collector current of the active pull-down transistor is kept constant at all times. Hence, the electric power consumption can be further reduced.

Abstract: A device for automatically locking wheels on a
balancing machine which comprises: a rotating hollow shaft
(17) which supports, at one end, a flange (2) for clamping a
wheel (1) in a cantilevered fashion; a secondary shaft (4)
which can perform a translatory motion within said hollow
shaft (17) by means of preloaded springs, so as to keep the
secondary shaft (4) shifted away from the clamping flange
(2), thus locking the wheel (1); a pneumatic cylinder (11)
for the translatory motion of the secondary shaft (4)
towards the clamping flange (2), in order to allow the
release of the wheel (1) and, simultaneously, a further
loading of the springs. For machines of this kind, the
locking device according to the present invention has at
least two gas springs (8) which are parallel to the
secondary shaft (4) and are interposed between a pulley (9)
rigidly coupled to the hollow shaft (17) and the free end
(4a) of the secondary shaft (4), and a pneumatic cylinder
(11) with a stem (11b) which acts on the end (4a) of the
secondary shaft which can preload the gas springs (8) to
allow the translatory motion of the secondary shaft (4)
towards the clamping flange (2) and therefore allow wheel
release. There are also provided stops (13, 15) for stopping
the stroke of the secondary shaft (4) and elastic elements
(12) for returning the secondary shaft (4) and the stem
(11b) of the piston to the initial position, thus allowing 
the gas springs (8) to restore the locking of the wheel
(1).
