Patent EP-0831286-A3 (EP)
Inventor: COPPA NICHOLAS V
IPC: G21F9/14
Filed: 1997-09-18
Abstract: A method of freeze drying a substance comprising:
   freezing the substance in a freeze drying chamber so that a liquid component of the
substance is frozen into a solid;   sublimating the solid into a vapour;   condensing the vapour on a cold condenser located within a condensation chamber in
communication with the freeze drying chamber; and   prior to condensing the vapour, pressurising the condensation chamber with a gas and
allowing pressure within the freeze drying and condensation chamber to equalise so that the
gas flows from the condensation chamber to the freeze drying chamber and thereby acts to
inhibit the solid from entering the condensation chamber.

Abstract: A process cartridge detachably mountable to a
main assembly of an electrophotographic image forming
apparatus, wherein the main assembly includes a motor,
a main assembly side gear for receiving driving force
from the motor and a hole (18a) defined by twisted surfaces (18a1,18a2),
the hole being substantially coaxial with the gear,
the process cartridge includes an electrophotographic
photosensitive drum (7); process means actable on the
photosensitive drum; and a projection (17a) engageable with
the twisted surfaces, the projection (17a) being provided at
a longitudinal end of the photosensitive drum, wherein
the projection is non-twisted, and when the main
assembly side gear rotates with the hole (18a) and
projection (17a) engaged with each other, rotational driving
force is transmitted from the gear to the
photosensitive drum through engagement between the
hole and the projection.

Abstract: A printing apparatus having a stop unit (22) which, if the amount of ink
emission in a first print head A is set to a value at or below a preset threshold
value, such as 002 in terms of a picture printing data signal, and if the amount of
ink emission in a second print head B is set to a value higher than the preset
threshold value, a discharge of dilution liquid from the first print head A is stopped
in keeping with the stop of the ink emission in the first print head A. The stop unit
thereby suppresses the discharge of excess dilution liquid to inhibit generation of
tone jump or pseudo contour, as well as to improve the picture printing speed and
to enable high quality picture printing.

Abstract: In an image sensor using an image sensor element of
all pixel read type, a switching of an image resolution
to 1/2 or smaller is possible without changing
the angle of view. Electrodes (9) of a vertical
transfer register (8), for reading signal charges
(0B; R11; R31; R51; R71; G12; G21; G32; G41; G52;
G61; B22; B42; B62), are provided by discrete wiring
every unit pixel (0B; R11; R31; R51; R71; G12; G21;
G32; G41; G52; G61; B22; B42; B62). Drive pulses
(V1; V2; V3A; V3B; V3C; V3D; V4) to be applied
to the read electrodes (9) are 3 phases composed of
three sets of pulses (V1, V2, V3A, V4), (V1,
V2, V3B, V4) and (V1, V2, V3C, V4). By changing
the read timing (t1; t2; t3; t4) at the respective
electrodes (9), the re-arrangement of signal
charge (0B, ..., B62) in the transfer register (8)
is performed. With using this electrode construction
and the drive method thereof, the switching of resolution
can be done without the angle of view. Further,
by summing the rearranged signal charges (0B,
..., B62), it is possible to accommodate the switching
of the resolution to a case where the angle of
view is changed. It becomes possible to switch the
resolution correspondingly to a computer display
standard.

Abstract: A feeler for monitoring a thread reserve in weft
feeders, comprising a light-emitting device constituted by
a light source (21) which directs light rays (R) onto a
thread (F) wound in spaced turns on the drum (11) of the
feeder (10), and a receiver means (27-28-40), which
collects the light rays and converts them into electrical
signals that indicate the presence or absence of turns of
thread. A first focused optical transmission system forms a

on the turn being monitored and, in the absence of the
turn, a second pointlike luminous image (B) of the light
source located on a screen surface (23) which is arranged
below the turns. A second focused optical projection system
(26) selectively projects the first or second luminous
image (A-B), along respective differentiated optical paths
(CO1-CO2), onto at least one optical sensor (27-28-40)
which emits discriminated signals that correspond to the
length of the corresponding optical paths.

Abstract: A universal system is provided for synchronizing servers which accommodates wide area mobile computing while at the same time making the process more efficient. The system includes a network of primary servers with high performance reliable links making up the backbone of the synchronization process to which secondary servers are linked via typically less reliable links. Moreover, synchronization from a mobile computer can be done whether in client/ server mode, or peer-to-peer to support any topology of secondary servers. In one embodiment while the primary servers are automatically and frequently synchronized, synchronization of the secondary servers is under the control of the user which prevents unintended synchronization. A summarizing version vector is used to minimize the amount of data transmitted by avoiding the necessity for exchanging version vectors for individual objects. This summarizing version vector also permits differential synchronization using summarizing version vectors and update stamps, the generation of a latest common version vector to purge off differential updates on a server, restart of synchronization from the point of previous failure with data from an unaffected server, and fine grain synchronization by permitting a differential update as the atom of data to be transmitted. Additionally, the system automatically switches between whole object synchronization and differential synchronization. Further, the subject system permits synchronization between different systems because the semantics of the data is segregated from the synchronization due to extracting updates in a standard format and synchronizing based on a standard protocol.

Abstract: Compressed bitstreams are characterised by generated graphical
displays that display useful information related, for example, to the quality of
the data contained in the bitstream. One set of graphical displays indicates
lead time between receipt of packetized data and the corresponding decode or
presentation time-stamp. Another set of bar graphical displays provides
information related to bits per picture by (A) indicating fractions of useful bits
versus zero-stuffing bits per picture, (B) distinguishing field pictures from
frame pictures, and (C) plotting bars as a function of presentation or decode
time rather than picture number to indicate the presence of 3:2 pulldown frame
structure in the bitstream. Yet another set of graphical displays corresponds to
coefficient/quantization (C/Q) diagrams that plot combinations of quantization
level and number of non-zero quantized coefficients for sets of picture blocks.
