Abstract: A resonator (100) for generating vibratory energy is arranged in line contact with a charge-retentive member (10) bearing an image on a surface thereof, in an electrophotographic device, to apply vibratory energy uniformly to the charge-retentive member. The resonator comprises a suction device ( 162), a suction hron ( 158), and an air-tight seal arrangement. When the vibratory energy is to be applied to the charge-retentive surface, suction is applied at the line of contact of the horn with the surface, to draw the surface into intimate engagement with the horn. The invention has application to a transfer station, for enhancing electrostatic transfer of toner from the charge-retentive surface to a copy sheet, and to a cleaning station, where mechanical vibration of the surface will improve the release of residual toner remaining after transfer.

Abstract: The two sides of a flat panel are inspected in successive inspection stations each of which includes a camera having a linear array of CCD elements which generates an image line-by-line from a stripe of light reflected by one flat surface of the panel as the panel is conveyed through the inspection station. The signals representing images of the two faces of the panel are independently digitized and stored in separate pixel arrays of gray-scale values. The images are queued for filtering followed by processing by a single image processing board which generates a table of hits, identified as pixels having gray-scale values which breach preselected thresholds. Sections of the stored pixel array are transmitted sequentially to the image processing board which has a frame size smaller than the stored array, with the frame sized sections overlapping as required to confine the pixels processed to those inside the edges of the panel image. A microprocessor analyzes the hits identified by the image processing board and generates a reject signal if the density of hits exceeds a limit. The microprocessor also associates hits by proximity into blobs and rejects the panel if a weighted count of hits in any blob exceeds predetermined criteria.

Abstract: The system operates in a data processing system having a global service program based on a fault-tolerant method providing a current processing server (2a) and a spare processing server (2b). The resource management server includes : a re-transmission examination unit (30) for examining a message from the processing server (2a) and determining whether it is a re-transmitted message, based on a discriminator attached to the message for requesting acquirement of the right to use the resource; a discriminator addition unit (32) for adding the discriminator to the message for requesting the right to use to be issued when that right to use is registered; and a right to use the examination unit (33) for examining whether the message is already registered based on a previous message for the re-transmission by referring to the discriminator attached by the discriminator addition unit when the message indicates the re-transmission message based on the detection of the re-transmission examination unit. When the examination unit judges that the right to use is already registered, the above registered right to use is invalidated; a new right to use is then registered into the nuclear program (4) and the new right to use is issued to the processing server (2b).

Abstract: The materials to be treated, for instance, molded resin articles with resin films coated thereon are treated by relatively simple means to separate and remove the resin film coatings from the surfaces thereof, and are further treated to recover them as a raw-form of resin material or a resin material regulated such that its particle diameter lies within a given particle diameter range, or the materials to be treated, for instance, powder materials are pulverized and granulated. A molded resin article is crushed to small pieces, to which compression impacts based on fine vibrations are in turn applied for squeezing, and resin film coatings separated off the small pieces are removed. The thus treated small pieces are further re-pulverized, and frictional crushing impacts are applied to the thus pulverized pieces as well for polishing and size-regulation. Alternatively, directional fine vibrations are applied to one of the inner and outer compression impact surfaces of inner and outer compression impact members that are located in opposition to each other with a given gap between them to pulverize and squeeze the material to be treated that is fed between the compression impact surfaces, thereby separating surface thin films therefrom for granulation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process of eliminating high chloride-containing incinerator ash and incinerator ash-residue mixtures, without generating excessive heavy metal-containing effluents during the actual vitrification of the ash. The process involves first pretreating the incinerator ash or ash-residue mixture, if needed, whereby the resultant ash contains less than about 3% halogen by weight and less than about 3% C.. Following the pretreatment, the ash is dried and then mixed with any additives needed to make up a vitrifiable batch mixture which will, when subsequently vitrified, form a glass possessing an excellent acid durability. A durability whereby such that the weight loss of the glass in 5% HCl solution at 95°C is 2.0 mg/cm² or less in 24 hours. This durability results in minimal or non-detectable leaching of hazardous heavy metal or non-metallic specie and is sufficient enough durability such that the vitrified glass will easily pass the EPA's test for leachability. A suitable glass meeting the requirements is comprised of, expressed in terms of weight percent, about 47-76% SiO₂, 0.8-29% Al₂O₃, 3.4-33.0% CaO, and optionally 0-25% R₂O, wherein R₂O is selected from the group consisting of Na₂O, Li₂O and K₂O, 0-5% Fe₂O₃, 0-18% B₂O₃, 0-7% ZrO₂, 0-7% TiO₂, 0-10% MO, wherein MO is selected from the group consisting of MgO, BaO, ZnO or SrO, 0-8% of at least one member selected from the group consisting of PbO, CdO, Cr₂O₃, CuO and NiO, 0-4% SO₃ with 0-4% Cl+F as batched.

Abstract: To control the amplitude of the channels in the receiver of a television distribution system, these receivers are controlled by pilot. To achieve a constant total modulation percentage, an aggregate load control is used in the transmitter. In known systems, the pilot signal is only fed into the automatic gain control (AGC). Independently of whether the aggregate load control is carried out first or the pilot signal is fed in, such a television distribution system has disadvantages since the pilot signal has no fixed relationship to the signal amplitudes of the incoming channels or the total modulation percentage cannot be kept constant. The invention is based on bringing a reference signal selected from the transmission signal into a fixed relationship with the pilot signal. This is advantageously via a feedback loop (RKS1, RKS3) via which either the channel amplitude is controlled to a predetermined value or via which a pilot signal used is controlled to a predetermined value. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A shelf (17) on a frame (18,19) sits within a tray-like structure provided by an intermediate frame (8), while the latter is supported by rails (6) and rollers (7). When pushed back into the storage position, the shelf (17) is stopped by a bar on the frame (8), with the rollers (21) on the shelf (17) at the rear ends of slots (12) in side plates (9) of the frame (8). The intermediate frame (8) is arrested by the outer framework (1). To gain clear access, the shelf (17) is pulled out horizontally, and it can shift with respect to the intermediate frame (8) a distance corresponding to the length of the slots (12). When it reaches the limit of this travel, the frame (8) is entrained and continued pulling draws it out, running on the rollers (7) and (13). The limit of its travel is defined by stops (not shown) but when achieved the shelf (17) is fully clear of the framework and thus fully accessible. To restore the storage position, the shelf is simply pushed in again.
