Abstract: The filter assembly includes a filter element (10) having an end surface and an end
cap (20) connected to the end surface by spin welding. The end cap (20) has an outer diameter
that need be no larger than the outer diameter of the end surface of the filter element.
Prior to spin welding, the end cap (20) may have a surface with a sacrificial ridge
extending from the surface. The end cap (20) is spin welded to the end surface of the

another while contacting the sacrificial ridge with the end surface of the filter element (10),
melting the sacrificial ridge by the contact with the filter element (10) to form a molten
plastic, and joining the surface of the end cap (20) to the end surface of the filter element (10)
with the molten plastic. Also disclosed is a method of spin welding a filter pack (11) to

Abstract: A printing method and apparatus in which basic image
data and information of the printing position of the image
data on a recording medium are input from a data source and
stored in advance, and the designated image data is bitmapped
at the printing position to print an image, thereby
increasing the printing speed, and a printing system
including the printing apparatus. In this system, image data
sent from a host is registered as a basic image, and the image
is bitmapped in an image memory on the basis of the information
of the printing position, of the stored basic image data on
a printing paper sheet, sent from the host. The image data
bitmapped in the image memory is then output to a printhead
to print the image. When the bitmapped image data is to be
copied to a print buffer on the basis of an image copy command,
the copy operation is preferably performed concurrently with
registering operation for an image management table and
bitmapping operation for an image registration buffer which
are performed when image data different from the image data
to be copied is input. In addition, the registered image data
may be stored in one print buffer, and the registered image
data may be copied to another print buffer on the basis of
another command. Printout operation may be performed on the
basis of the copied image data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an assembly method for a light bulb mount for
vehicle lamps. The mount incorporates a flexible metal track for mounting a based
light bulb, wherein the track dampens vibrations between its mounting location and
the lamp by virtue of its flexible nature. The lamp is permanently mounted (both
electrically and mechanically) to the track by placing the lamp thereon and then
reflowing the solder ball(s) which form the bottom contact(s) of the lamp, each
solder ball being coupled to the internal lead wire of the lamp. The reflow operation
eliminates the need for a socket for the lamp and provides a quick and low-cost
means for mounting the lamp to the track without any extra materials. Once the
lamp has been mounted to the track, the track is mounted to a lamp housing, wherein
this mounting causes the lamp to be suspended within a well formed into the lamp
housing. The base of the lamp and the distal portion of the track are then
encapsulated with a resilient material poured into the well, such as silicone. The
silicone encapsulation of the lamp provides further dampening for shock forces
transmitted to the lamp assembly, and also protects the lamp electrical connections
from moisture.

Abstract: At a seamless splice point, a stream of frames from alternate encoders can be switched to a decoder without causing visually disturbing artifacts, and without causing the decoder's buffer to underflow or overflow. Each encoder's buffer is constrained to lie within an upper and lower bound so as to preclude the underflow or overflow of the decoder buffer, regardless of whether the encoder's stream is switched into or out of the stream to the decoder. By classifying splice points as Entry-only splice points or Exit-only splice points, it is shown that the encoder upper and lower bounds may be relaxed. Furthermore, it is shown that by the appropriate choice of transfer rates for Entry-only and Exit-only points, the permissible size of frames before and after the splice point can be regulated.

Abstract: In a synchronization detection device and its method, codes

data shift clock (D CLK1 ) to be given to the matched filtering means
(82) is stopped at desired timing to hold the received signal
(S10) and replica code generated at the correlation coefficient
generation means (83) is switched -to the first, second or third
replica code at desired timing to detect the correlation value of
that time. Thereby, the second code, the third code and the first
code are detected in order to detect the timing and the code type
of the first code. Therefore, each correlation detection can be
conducted at the same timing since the matched filtering means
conducts the correlation detection at high speed holding the
received signal and thus, the first code included in the received
signal can be identified at higher speed than before.

Abstract: In a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, a whole-body RF coil (42) disposed circumferentially around an examination region (14) is tuned to a first Larmor frequency, e.g., that of hydrogen. A first transmitter (44) transmits RF signals at the first Larmor frequency. A first T/R switch (40) electronically switches the whole-body RF coil (42) between a transmit mode in which it is electronically connected to the first transmitter (44) for exciting resonance in hydrogen nuclei, and a receive mode in which it is electronically connected to a first receiver channel for demodulating magnetic resonance signals received from resonating hydrogen nuclei. An insertable lung coil (70) is positioned inside the whole-body RF coil (42) around the examination region. The lung coil (70) is tuned, while the whole-body RF coil (42) is enabled, to a second Larmor frequency corresponding to a non-hydrogen nuclei such that the tuning compensates for reactance from the whole-body RF coil that is inductively coupled to the lung coil. A second T/R switch (80) electronically switches the lung coil (70) between a second transmitter (82) for exciting resonance in non-hydrogen nuclei, and a second receiver channel.
