Abstract: A system which can control a plurality of opto-matrix input devices. Each opto-matrix device uses multiplexed scanning of emitter/detector pairs under control of a separate computer. The output of the opto-matrix input device is analog data which is provided to the computer for conversion to digital by the computer. The computer then determines if a stylus is located in the opto-matrix field, and if so, determines the stylus location by analysis of the received data.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for generating relative movement between a first image and a second image while avoiding display screen flicker is disclosed. The method includes a step of copying to a first buffer a portion of a display memory corresponding to a present portion of the second image wherein a first image will first appear. The method further includes the steps of superposing within the display memory the first image upon the present portion of the second image and copying to a second buffer the portion of the display memory corresponding to the present portion of the second image, including the first image superposed thereon, and a portion of the display memory corresponding to a next portion of the second image wherein the first image will next appear. The method further includes the steps of erasing the first image from the second buffer by copying the present portion from the first buffer to the second buffer and superposing, within the second buffer, the first image upon the next portion of the second image. The method includes a further step of copying the second buffer to the display memory such that the first image disappears from the present portion of the second image while simultaneously appearing within the next portion of the second image, thereby avoiding display screen flicker.

Abstract: A thermal transfer sheet (1) having a back coating layer (3) excellent in heat-resistance, a substrate layer (2) and a recording material layer (4) is provided by using a styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer as a resin constituting the back coating layer. A thermal transfer material having an excellent heat-resistance and having a back coating layer having considerable strength is provided by incorporating at least two species of heat-resistant particles having different particle sizes in the back coating layer, since the larger species of particle imparts excellent heat-resistance to the back coating layer, the smaller species of particle enhances the total amount of the fillers, and the larger and smaller species of particles function so as to provide a synergistic effect. A thermal transfer sheet having a back coating layer which is excellent in storability is provided by incorporating an alkylphosphate multi-valent metal salt into the back coating layer, since the thus prepared back coating layer has an excellent heat-resistance, does not contaminate another member or thermal head without wearing the thermal head, and has an excellent slip property and an excellent dye barrier property.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of whiteware ceramic articles employs an alkylenediamine, such as ethylenediamine, as an additive to increase the green strength of articles prepared by pressing. Optionally, the additive includes a latex such as a styrene butadiene latex in an amount effective to further improve the green strength of the articles prepared. Unlike conventional additives such as polyglycols, the additives of the present invention are effective at low dosages and would not result in ceramic articles with undesirably altered characteristics.

Abstract: A method of measuring the temperature of a remote body which comprises determining the frequency range to be covered and the portion of that range or frequency band to be covered by each detector of a detector array or by a single detector via a filter for applying different frequency bands to the single detector. The required detector or detectors are then provided and sense the energy radiated by the remote body whose temperature is to be measured. The detector or detectors then provide an output of the amount of energy measured in each unique frequency band and sends these measured outputs to a processor. The processor receives the measured outputs from the detector(s) and determines therefrom in accordance with an algorithm thereat the measured temperature. The processor then provides an output indicative of the measured temperature.

Abstract: A controller for a vehicle seat for optimally controlling the posture of a vehicle seat. An amount of a running condition of the vehicle is detected, and a controlled variable for a posture of the seat for appropriately holding an inertial force acting on an occupant seated in the seat is determined in correspondence with the amount of the running condition of the vehicle detected. In addition, an amount of displacement of a posture of the vehicle is detected, and the posture of the seat is controlled on the basis of the controlled variable for the posture of the seat and the amount of displacement of the posture of the vehicle. Since the posture of the seat is controlled in correspondence with not only the running condition of the vehicle but postural displacement of the vehicle, the holding characteristic of the driver's seat improves and permits driving with a comfortable and more stable posture.
