Abstract: Disclosed are a printing apparatus and a method of controlling printing through which highly precise printing can be performed without inviting an increase in production cost or in the size of the apparatus. In accordance with the control method, a printing starting position is decided based upon input print data whenever a printing medium undergoes one printing scan by a printhead. Whether or not the printing starting position decided falls within a predetermined range is discriminated. If it has been discriminated that the printing starting position falls within the predetermined range, the scanning starting position of the printhead scanned by the carriage is set to a position spaced a predetermined first distance away from one end of a range within which printing can be performed on the printing medium. If it has been discriminated that the printing starting position falls outside the predetermined range, the scanning starting position of the printhead is set to a position spaced a predetermined second distance away from the printing starting position. After the carriage to which the printhead is mounted has been moved to the set position, printing is performed by moving the carriage. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A cryogenic turbo-expander has a rotary shaft (10) which carries a turbine wheel (6) and carries or is operatively associated with an energy dissipating means (8) and which extends axially through a sleeve (12). First race means (80, 84) surrounding the shaft (10) and housing first bearing means (82) for the shaft (10). Second race means (90, 94) surround the shaft (10) and house second bearing means (92) for the shaft (10). The first and second bearing means are axially spaced from one another. Each race (80,84; 90, 94) has an aperture (86, 96) therein extending from an outer to an inner surface thereof communicating with a lubricating oil passage (52, 56) extending from an outer surface to an inner surface of the sleeve (12). Both race means (80, 84; 90, 94) are arranged so that spent lubricating oil can pass therefrom to a common drain passage (58). The cryogenic turbo-expander additionally includes a reservoir (40) for lubricating oil communicating with the aperture (86) in the first race means (80, 84) via an intermittently-operable metering pump (50) and with the second race means (90, 94) via an intermittently operable metering pump (54). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A receiver, for example a receiver of broadcast digital terrestrial television signals modulated using COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), imposes a phase adjustment on a received signal. Phase adjustment may be effected, for example, by sample alignment of the signal, such as for cyclic prefix removal, or by shifting a window setting for a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) processor. Before channel estimation or decoding is performed on the information stream, the information stream is derotated to compensate for the phase adjustment previously imposed on the received signal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for eliminating the inefficient use of network bandwidth cause by numerous acknowledgment transmitted by the receiver to the transmitter by providing sparse feedback from the receiver to the transmitter indicating receipt of packets having headers to be used as reference headers. In the invention, upon receipt in the receiver of a packet having a reference header, a feedback is provided to the transmitter indicating receipt of the packet having the reference header. Thereafter, the receiver waits a predetermined period of time before providing another feedback in response to another packet having a reference header. The predetermined period of time allows time for the feedback to be received by the transmitter and for information from the transmitter indicating receipt of the feedback to be received by the receiver.

Abstract: A coupler for connecting a drive shaft to a driven member and accommodating a substantial misalignment between the drive shaft and the driven member, while minimizing audible noise and vibration. The coupling includes a hollow core nest element having a plurality of slots formed in one end, two substantially identical elongate body elements, and a plurality of spring elements. Each elongate body element has two ends, a first end being adapted to couple with either the drive shaft or the driven member, and a second end that includes a plurality of posts that engage the slots of the hollow core nest. An aperture in the hollow core nest is larger than the diameter of the elongate bodies, allowing for the components to move radially relative to each other to accommodate for any offset and misalignment between the longitudinal axes of the drive shaft and the driven member, while the spring elements ensure that the components positively contact one another to reduce audible noise that is otherwise produced by loose fitting components. In one embodiment, a spring element is integrally formed in the slots of the hollow core nest, such that the posts of the body elements are held in engagement with sides of the slots by the spring elements. This embodiment includes an end cap that prevents the posts from becoming disengaged from the slots. Another embodiment employs helical coil springs mounted externally around the hollow core nest.

Abstract: The refinement of such harmonic drives according to German Patent 1 98 33 290 C1=European Patent Application 0 974 773 A concerns damping of the noise generation as a consequence of the revolving displacement of discrete tappets (instead of the rotating deformation of the closed hub of a spoked wheel) on the non-round wave generator. Since the feet of the individual-not guided in a cage, but rather connected to one another by a flexible ring band-tappets are no longer solid, but rather split, they are to be able to elastically bend so they may press continuously against the drive core of the wave generator. The peripheral connection of the neighboring tappets via the ring band, which is thin in comparison to their diameters, is to be laid out in such a way that a spring effect is achieved, using which the tappet-even in the course of instantaneous reduction in diameter as the drive core, which is oval in cross-section, rotates out of the angular region of its greatest diameter-is always kept radially pressing snugly against the non-round wave generator in order to, in this way, suppress a noise-generating radial rebound from a displacement position which is still radially lifted.
