Inventor: SUGITA TAKEHIRO
IPC: H04J13/10
Filed: 1996-05-23
Abstract: A communication terminal in which the power consumption in
an intermittent reception can be reduced magnificently. The
state value of second spread code generating means (62) for next
drive is set to register means (73) to operate timer (70), and
first and second spread code generating means (62, 75) and
receiving circuit are stopped to enter a sleep state. Then, if
they are driven again by the timeout of timer, the receiving
circuit is operated and the second spread code generating means
is operated from the state value which has been set to the
register means. Further, the intermittent receiving means (65)
for operating the first spread code generating means from an
initial state is provided. Therefore, in non-reception, the
first and second spread code generating means can be stopped, so
that the power consumption in an intermittent reception can be
reduced magnificently.

IPC: G06M1/10
Filed: 1996-05-06
Abstract: An apparatus and method for counting sheets of thin media is provided by
illuminating with an LED array 24 the edge 5 of a plurality of sheets 8. A linear
CCD array camera 20 receives the reflected light from the sheets 8, and generates
a signal waveform responsive to variations in the reflected light corresponding to
the sheets. A digitizer then converts the signal into a digital signal waveform for
storage in a video buffer 36. The stored signal waveform is thereafter processed
along one dimension of said edge using a digital signal processor 34 for locating
the positions of the sheets in the waveform, and then counting the sheets.
Preferably, the linear CCD array camera 20 provides a one-dimensional image of
the edge 5, however a two-dimensional CCD array may be used with additional
signal processing to translate its two-dimensional signal into a one-dimensional
signal. The apparatus further can locate in the signal waveform rigid portions
called stiffener boards 9 which border the plurality of sheets 8 or lie at intervals
between the sheets. The processing in this apparatus is automatically adaptive to
sheets of different media type, edge conditions, and the presence or absence of
stiffener boards 9. The apparatus can be used for counting sheets comprising a
pack 10, or the rotational convolutions 74 of media on a roll 70.

Abstract: A device (20) for producing an output voltage which is
proportional to an applied magnetic field (B). The device (20)
includes a plurality charge injection regions (24), a
corresponding plurality of charge exit regions (25), and a
charge transfer region. The charge transfer region includes
gate electrodes (28) which serve to propagate at least one
isolated charge packet (30) across the charge transfer region in
a predetermined direction (A) from the charge input region (24) to
the charge output region (25). The charge packet (30) is subject to
the applied magnetic field (B) which is perpendicular to the
charge transfer region so as to induce a resultant
potential that is orthogonal to both the applied magnetic
field (B) and the predetermined direction (A). Furthermore, the
resultant potential effects a lateral redistribution of
charge carriers in the packet. A recirculation
configuration allows for a recycling of the packet from the
output region (25) back to the input region (24) in order to
accommodate a continuation of the redistribution of charge
carriers. Sense contacts (26) are provided with the
recirculation configuration for sensing the resultant
potential as the output voltage.

Abstract: A clutch device separates a non-changing component
and a changing component of power generated by a driving
source, and transmits the non-changing component and the
changing component of power so separated to separate
driven bodies, respectively. 
     Power generated by a driving source (4) is preferably
subjected to form conversion by power form conversion
means and is then separated into a non-changing component
and a changing component by power separation means. The
non-changing component of power so separated is
transmitted to a first driven body (6) by non-changing
component transmission means while the changing component
of power so separated is transmitted to a second driven
body (B) by changing component transmission means. 
     A fluid pump (1) can be used as the power form conversion
means, and an outlet flow rate regulating
valve (3) of the fluid pump (1) can be used as the power
separation means. 
     Control of the second driven body (B) can be made easily
by smoothing the changing component of power
using smoothing means (34).

Abstract: Threshold values are generated in order to disperse isolated
dots in an irregular manner when an level of an image signal is between
a first signal level and a second signal level. The first signal
level is a level at which one isolated dot consisting of one pixel
is formed in each one-dot area including one halftone dot, and the
second signal level is a level at which no isolated dot consisting
of one pixel is formed in each one-dot area. The threshold values
are then compared with the image signal, to generate a halftone dot
signal representing halftone dots.
