Abstract: An adapter (25) for an optical eyepiece (16) for propagating a non-collimated light beam from an object along an optical axis of the eyepiece so as to present an image to an observer (51), the adapter comprising a beam splitter (26) for inserting into the eyepiece so as to intercept the light beam and direct a portion thereof outside the eyepiece through an exit aperture (27) of the beam splitter without substantially changing the image to the observer. The adapter is particularly useful for extracting a portion of an image from an eyepiece having restricted access in a night vision goggles thus permitting an external scene to be recorded simultaneous with its being viewed by the observer.

Abstract: An ink jet array print head (101) includes four media width linear ink jet arrays (100). Ink flows from four sets of manifolds (106) through acoustically matched inlet filters (116), inlet ports (117), inlet channels (118), pressure chamber ports (120), and ink pressure chambers (122). Ink leaves the pressure chambers through outlet ports (124) and flows through oval outlet channels (128) to orifices (108), from which ink drops (110) are ejected. The ink pressure chambers are bounded by flexible diaphragms (130) to which piezo-ceramic transducers (132) are bonded. To minimize inter-jet cross-talk caused by pressure fluctuations in the manifolds, compliant walls (150) form one wall along the entire length of each manifold. An ink feed system (200) supplies four colors of ink to the print head. Phase-change inks are melted and deposited in ink catch basins (202), funneled into ink storage reservoirs (204), and fed to the print head through ink stack feeds (206). Manifold tapering, inlet port positioning, and an elevationally upward slope of the ink stack feeds enhances purgability of the ink feed system and the ink jet print head.

Abstract: An electric source signal supplied from a battery of a vehicle is composed of a direct current component and an alternating current component. The alternating component is classified into an alternator noise of which a frequency changes in proportional to an engine speed of the vehicle and other noises. Also, as the engine speed is heightened, a vehicle noise in the inside of the vehicle is heightened. The direct current component of the electric source signal is removed in an alternating current component passing circuit, the other noises are removed in a band pass filter, and the alternator noise is obtained. Thereafter, a frequency of the alternator noise is calculated in a microcomputer, and a volume of a sound reproduced by a speaker of an on-vehicle stereo and a tone of the sound are adjusted according to the frequency of the alternator noise. Therefore, a driver can be entertained with a music without being disturbed by the vehicle noise.

Abstract: The automatic-discriminating apparatus is constituted by functional blocks such as a killer circuit (13), an APC circuit (14a), a switch (15a), and an automatic discrimination control circuit (16a). The switch connects one of crystal oscillators (OSC11-OSC13) to a VCO (44) of the APC circuit (14a) by a control signal from the automatic discrimination control circuit. The automatic discrimination control circuit (16a) divides one vertical scanning period into predetermined sections. When receiving a killer signal indicating the OFF state from the killer circuit (13) during the predetermined sections, even one time, it outputs a control signal holding the connection state of the switch (15a), and holds the APC circuit in the locking state. When receiving a killer signal indicating the ON state during the divided predetermined sections for a predetermined number of times, it outputs to the switch a control signal connecting the other crystal oscillator to the switch. As a result, the time for discriminating the TV broadcast systems can be shortened, a malfunction can be avoided, and a stable discrimination can be achieved.

coincides with the present number of failures. If they
do not coincide, an I/O request error return section
(26) will return the I/O request block to the software
driver (13) without handing over it to a device driver

Abstract: A data storage system has an administrator tool (46) that presents
an existing Logical Storage Unit (LUN) arrangement composed of one or more types of LUNs and an
available capacity for the existing LUN arrangement. The administrator tool
provides a graphical user interface (UI) (48) that allows the administrator to
propose different configurations with one or more additional hypothetical LUNs,
without in fact creating them. The UI (48) provides a set of controls
representative of the different LUN types. The administrator can graphically
manipulate the controls to vary characteristics of the hypothetical LUNs. As the
administrator manipulates the controls, the system dynamically computes
available capacity assuming a LUN arrangement that includes both the existing
LUNs and the hypothetical LUNs. The graphical UI reports the changing
available capacity as a response to the administrator's manipulation so that the
administrator can gain an appreciation of how the hypothetical LUNs might
affect available capacity. Assuming there is sufficient available capacity, the
administrator can direct the system to create new LUNs having the same
characteristics of the hypothetical LUNs.

Abstract: It is an object of this invention to provide a compact high-power
alternator for a vehicle. It is another object of this invention
to provide a low-noise alternator for a vehicle which outputs an
increased power during operation at a low rotational speed. An
alternator 1 for a vehicle includes a stator 2 having inner
circumferential surfaces formed with many slots having open ends
35. Teeth ends of the stator between the slots have magnetic-flux
collecting projections 36 extending in circumferential directions.
The magnetic-flux collecting projections 36 are previously formed
by, for example, a pressing process during a stage in which they are
thin steel plates. An electric conductor forming a winding 33 has a
diameter greater than a width of inner openings of the slots. A
piece of the electric conductor extends into a first slot from a first
side of the iron core 32, and extends out of the first slot to a second
side of the iron core 32 before extending into a second slot, which
is distant from the first slot by an electric angle of 180°, from the
second side of the iron core 32 and extending out of the second slot
to the first side of the iron core 32. The winding 33 has a
recurrence of such pieces which forms one phase. The winding 33
has, for example, three phases separated by electric angles of 120°.
