Patent EP-0628415-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FRANZ DOUGLAS L
IPC: B41J2/21
Filed: 1994-02-22
Abstract: In an ink jet printing system (10), improved gray scale and color resolution is achieved without modifying the printing grid resolution by reducing the ink droplet volume to a level below the unit droplet volume selected to cover a nominal printing grid location. Multiple passes of the print head are used to print an integer multiple number of the reduced-volume droplets, thereby forming effective dots with greater gray scale resolution. Multiple different droplet volumes are provided in a printing system so as to achieve enhanced resolution without a linear increase in the number of print passes. Another aspect of the invention is to reduce the ink concentration or dye load again to improve gray scale resolution without changing the printing grid. Multiple different dye load concentrations may be provided for further enhancements in resolution again without a linear increase in the number of print passes required. Finally, the invention includes printing with a reduced-volume droplet of a reduced-dye load ink, called a hifi droplet, for still further improvements in print quality, resulting in printed images approximating those produced by continuously variable color densities.

Abstract: Circuits containing resonant tunneling devices are disclosed which offer significant advantages for realizing ultra-dense, ultra-high performance multivalued logic arithmetic integrated circuits. Multivalued logic circuits implemented with resonant tunneling devices can achieve increased speed and density over binary circuits and multiple-valued circuits implemented in conventional IC technologies since multiple binary bits are very efficiently processed by architectures which make use of devices with multiple negative transconductance regions. In one form of the invention, an adder for calculating the sum of two numbers represented by signed digit range-3 base-4 words is constructed from summation circuits  (40)  which add corresponding digits of input words X and Y to form digit sums S i , signed range-5 to signed range-3 converter circuits  (42)  which use multi-level folding circuits  (64)  connected by voltage dividers to decompose the digit sums into an interim sum and carry digit, and a second set of summation circuits  (40)  which add interim sum and carry digits to produce the digits of the result. Preferably, the sum is likewise represented by a signed digit range-3 base-4 word. Preferably, the multi-level folding circuits contain resonant tunneling transistors (e.g. bipolar transistors with multiple-peak resonant tunneling diodes  (52)  integrated into the emitter).

Abstract: An electrostatographic printer includes an imaging station (A, B, C, D, E) for forming a latent electrostatic image on the surface of a drum (24), a toner development station (32) for developing the latent image to form a toner image, and a toner transfer station (34) for transferring the toner image onto a moving web. An image-fixing station (16) for fixing the toner image on the web comprises two pairs of radiant heat sources (92), the peak energy output wavelength of which lies in the non-visible part of the spectrum. The radiant sources (92) may be located in hingedly mounted pairs of housings (80, 81, 82, 83) in such a manner that the housings may be moved into a closed position to shield the radiant sources (92) from the web when the speed of movement of the web falls below a predetermined value. Damage to the web when movement thereof stops is thereby avoided.

Abstract: An N+1 frequency divider counter (20) has a binary counter (22), ones detect circuitry (26), control logic (24), and an output flip-flop (28). The binary counter (22) counts from an initial value to a final value for each half of an output clock signal. If N+1 is an even number, one full cycle is added to each half cycle of the output clock signal. If N+1 is an odd number, one-half of a cycle is added to each half phase of the output clock signal. At the final count value, the control logic (24) causes the output clock signal to transition on either the rising edge or the falling edge of an input clock signal. The N+1 counter (20) has a fifty percent duty cycle for all count values of N, and does not require additional circuitry to accommodate when N equals zero.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electro-absorption type semiconductor optical modulator utilizing the Quantum Confinement Stark Effect, in which a quantum well structure introduced in its optical absorption layer is arranged to have a potential structuresuch that one of the electron affinity and the energy of the top of the valence band increases in the laminating direction, while the other decreases, thereby canceling the built-in field. It is intended to lower the drive voltage and to enhance an on/off ratio (extinction ratio). Thus, the absorption peak becomes narrow at a no bias state to attain a low drive voltage and an enhanced extinction ratio.

Abstract: A malfunction detecting apparatus detects malfunctions in an air-fuel ratio sensor (30) employed in an internal combustion engine (11). The air-fuel ratio sensor (30) is located in an exhaust passage (19). The output current value of the sensor (30) varies in accordance with an applied voltage and the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust gas. An electronic control unit (40) controls the amount of fuel in the mixture in accordance with the magnitude of the output current of the sensor (30) such that the air-fuel ratio of the mixture is made to coincide with a target air-fuel ratio. The sensor (30) has an applied voltage range in which the output current value remains substantially zero when the air-fuel ratio of the mixture matches a theoretical optimum air-fuel ratio. A voltage changer (44) changes the applied voltage to a voltage located outside of the certian applied voltage range, and the electronic control unit (40) detects malfunctions in the sensor (30) after the applied voltage is changed by comparing the output current of the sensor with a reference value.
