Patent EP-0925936-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BOLASH JOHN PHILIP
IPC: B41J2/175
Filed: 1998-12-15
Abstract: The invention described in the specification
relates to an apparatus for supplying electrical
information to a printer controller in order to identify
the one or more cartridges installed in a printer. The
apparatus comprises a carriage (4) which is laterally
translatable relative to the movement of print media
through the printer, carriage translation means, and a
replaceable cartridge (2) attached to the carriage. The
apparatus further comprises an indicia device (14) which
is attached to the replaceable cartridge and which has
optically readable indicia (16) thereon containing
encoded information which contains information
identifying the type of cartridge (2) installed in the
printer. The apparatus also includes an optical code
reader which reads and transmits the encoded information
to a printer controller as the cartridge (2) moves in a
lateral direction relative to the code reader. The
invention thus uses the linear motion of the carriage
(4) in combination with the optically readable indicia
device (14) on the cartridge (2) to identify the type of
cartridge, or to otherwise control the printer depending
on the specific information provided by the indicia
device (14).

Abstract: Ein Verfahren zur Ansteuerung und/oder Überwachung eines
motorisch angetriebenen Flügels, insbesondere einer Tür,
eines Fensters oder dergleichen sowie eine zugehörige Vorrichtung
zeichnet sich vor allem dadurch aus, daß zum
einen sensorabhängige und zum anderen positions- und/oder
geschwindigkeitsabhängige Sensorsignale bezüglich der
Schließbewegung des zumindest einen Flügels (1a, 1b, 1c)
erfaßt und abgespeichert werden. Während des Schließvorgangs
des Flügels (1a, 1b, 1c) kann durch einen ständigen
Datenabgleich der aktuell gemessenen mit den abgespeicherten
Werten verhindert werden, daß die sich schließende Tür
eine Selbstdetektion mit der Folge einer Umsteuerung in
Öffnungsbewegung durchgeführt wird.

Abstract: A system and method for preventing time-walking in a digital switching network when switching from a first clock to a second clock. The first and second clock can be identical in frequency and independent in phase, where the highest resolution frequency available is that of said first and second clock. The system can include a clock divider selection circuit, an enhanced digital phase aligner, and a clock select control circuit. The clock divider selection circuit can output an on-line divided clock and an off-line clock to the enhanced digital phase aligner. The enhanced digital phase aligner can sample the on-line divided clock with four phases of the off-line clock and output an off-line divided clock which is time shifted such that the off-line divided clock is in phase with the on-line divided clock within plus or minus one-half the clock period of the off-line clock. The clock select control circuit can receive the on-line divided clock from the clock divider selection circuit, the off-line divided clock from the enhanced digital phase aligner and a smoothed clock. When a request is made to switch between clock one and clock two, the clock select control circuit can evaluate the on-line divided clock and the off-line divided clock with the smoothed clock and output a clock select control signal to the clock divider selection circuit based on this comparison. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a forging process analyzing method, many trace points are
set in a workpiece. Lines connecting the trace points express
fiber flow lines. The fiber flow lines may be imaginary ones
that are irrelevant to real fiber flow lines. By applying a
technique of a finite element method to the fiber flow lines,
deformation calculation is performed. A new trace point is
added between trace points when the distance therebetween is
great. The velocity of each trace point cause by deformation
is calculated, and the position of each trace point is updated.
When any trace point in an element is left behind in a die, the
left-behind phenomenon is prevented by converting the shape of
the element while the crossing of fiber flow lines is prevented.
A radius is set for each trace point. The radius of each trace
point is adjusted so as to eliminate off-boundary extension and
overlap of fiber flow lines.

Abstract: There are provided a bubbler apparatus and a
condenser used therein. A bubbler vessel holds a liquid
source and has a carrier gas blown therein at a controlled
flow rate to provide a gas mixture of the carrier gas and
a source by bubbling. A condenser condenses the gas mixture
to form a saturated vapor of the source at a desired
temperature, to feed the source contained in the saturated
vapor in a predetermined concentration to a reactor block.
A static mixer is connected to the outlet port side of the
bubbler vessel to mix the gas mixture supplied from the
bubbler vessel and flowing therethrough. A holding member
is made of a material having a high thermal conductivity
and encloses a whole periphery of the mixer. A temperature
sensor is attached to the holding member for detecting a
temperature of the holding member. Temperature adjust
means adjusts a temperature of the holding member. Control
means controls the temperature adjust means in response to
a temperature value detected by the temperature sensor in
a manner such that the gas mixture flowing through the
static mixer is maintained at a predetermined temperature.

Abstract: A clean print ribbon feed system and method for a
printer (10) having a ribbon (22) with two non-inked clean hands
portions (160) wound around a pair of spools (28,30) is disclosed.
Detection of the spool having greater angular velocity and
lesser angular velocity determines the direction of feed.
The spool having greater angular velocity winds and takes
up the print ribbon (22). 
     The non-inked portion (160) can be formed as a conductive
plastic and is initially wound on each spool. Detection
of the non-inked portion of the ribbon takes place by two
electrical contactors. The determination of the angular
velocity of the spools determines the amount of print
ribbon (22) on one of the spools so that the spool having the
lesser ribbon can be driven as a take-up spool to provide
proper directional drive for winding the clean hands
portion and the inked portion which follows.

Abstract: In an opposed wiping type wiper apparatus, left and
right wiper blades which perform wiping operation with a
predetermined preceding-following relationship
maintained are layered vertically at their lower returning
positions. If the predetermined preceding-following
relationship is changed, the speed of the wiper blade which
has overtaken is arranged to be higher than the wiper blade
which has been overtaken, by replacing the control forms
for the left and right wiper blades with each other, until
upper returning positions. In this manner, the wiper
blades are prevented from being locked and stopped when the
preceding-following relationship between the left and
right wiper blades is changed. 
     When the timer of the wiper blade which is to be in
the follower side during normal operation is not reset but
overflows among timers which are respectively reset pulse
signals generated in accordance with rotations of motors,
the output of the motor which drives the wiper blade which
is to be in the follower side during normal operation is
increased. If the wiper blade which is to be in the
preceding side during normal operation is operated by thus
increasing the motor output, it is determined that the
apparatus has stopped due to change of the preceding-following
relationship between the wiper blades, and the
wiper blades are operated by changing the preceding-following
relationship. In this manner, the wiper blades 
are prevented from being locked even in case where the
preceding-following relationship between the wiper blades
is changed without causing changes of position angles. 
     If the wiper blade 2a in the preceding side stops for
a predetermined time or more within a common region 9 set
as the range where wiping regions of both the wiper blades
2a and 2b overlap each other during driving of the wiper
blade 2a in the preceding side, the wiper blade 2b in the
follower side is operated so as to push up the wiper blade
2a in the preceding side, so that a load applied to the wiper
blades is effectively overcome with use of the outputs from
two motors.
