Abstract: An apparatus of the present invention is a magnetic
recording/reproduction apparatus for pulling out a magnetic
tape from a tape cassette and winding the magnetic tape
around a rotary head cylinder, having a rotary head, for
a predetermined arc, for recording/reproducing the magnetic
tape. The magnetic recording/reproduction apparatus includes:
a base member on which the tape cassette and the
rotary head cylinder are mounted. A first state is defined
as a state where the tape cassette has been mounted on the
base member by a user. A second state is defined as a state
where, after the mounting of the tape cassette, a tape guide
member has pulled out the magnetic tape from the tape
cassette and wound the magnetic tape around the rotary head
cylinder, for the predetermined arc, thereby forming a tape
drive system to allow the magnetic tape to be recorded/reproduced.
A loading operation is defined as a
transition operation from the first state to the second state.
The magnetic recording/reproduction apparatus further
comprises a reel base which is axially supported on the base
member in a rotatable manner and engages with a reel for
winding and holding the magnetic tape within the tape
cassette, and a reel driver for driving rotation of the reel
base. In the loading operation, the reel base is rotated
by using the reel driver in a direction which takes up the
magnetic tape.

Abstract: A fast, raster-based, enhanced, data compression technique (FIGURE 1) for the
printing of compound documents, including pre-processing images in an original page
description form of the data before the page data is rasterized and compressed greatly
improves compressibility. Higher throughput and compression ratios are enabled by taking
advantage of image pixel-replication resolution enhancement (FIGURES 2 - 3B) before
rasterization actually occurs. Unscaled image data is filtered (201) before it is rasterized
(105) to the final printing resolution. The filtering specifically enables a separate near loss-less
compression algorithm to operate on a rasterized page description with high compression
ratios. A data compression technique (109, FIGURES 4 - 5)enables a system to compress
compound document using a relatively fast and simple algorithm with near loss-less print
quality.

Abstract: The device automatically implements all or some of the operations for control of glass furnace operating parameters as well as all or some of the operations for control of furnace actuators, starting from strategies that can be put into operation by an operator who implements these operations manually. The device comprises: (a) a fuzzy regulator type analysis and control unit that utilizes a fuzzy logic control algorithm; and (b) a neural and/or fuzzy type prediction system. The logic control algorithm receives all the relative information for operation of the furnace from furnace sensors and detectors, as well as values of operating procedures introduced manually by operators. The control algorithm delivers control signals to various furnace control actuators. The neural and/or fuzzy type prediction system, according to the state of the furnace and information on the course of production over time, defines the different values of operating procedures to attribute to the set of furnace actuators in such a manner as to ensure optimal operation at each phase of production. The values of the operating procedures constitute the input values for the fuzzy logic algorithm ensuring operation of the furnace.

Abstract: Ce procédé de production en continu de copolymère de polyester élastomère segmenté fait montre d'une plus grande souplesse si on compare les types et volumes de produit à fabriquer obtenus grâce à lui à ceux des procédés connus à ce jour. On obtient cette souplesse en séparant un courant de polybutylènetéréphtalate (PBT) à faible poids moléculaire dans un procédé en continu de production de PBT et en l'utilisant partiellement comme charge d'alimentation d'une réaction de transestérification avec le polyoxyde d'alkylène glycol donnant des segments mous afin de former un copolymère de polyester segmenté. Celui-ci est ensuite condensé à l'état fondu ou, éventuellement, en phase solide, afin de donner lieu à des copolymères de polyester segmentés de poids moléculaire élevé. Il est même possible d'avoir une plus grande souplesse en exploitant plusieurs chaînes de fabrication de copolymère de polyester segmenté. Les variations en matière de type et de volume de copolyester à produire sont prises en compte principalement au moment de la phase de polycondensation dans le processus de production de PBT.
