Patent EP-0516283-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SAKAI KIYOHARU
IPC: B41J25/308
Filed: 1992-04-27
Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus capable of manually adjusting a gap between a print head (8) and a platen (2) so as to prevent a print operation from being executed when the gap is outside of an appropriate range for a paper being used. The position of the print head (8) can be manually adjusted by use of an adjusting lever (29). Further, the print head (8) can be moved by a step motor (12) under the control of a CPU to adjust the gap. After the gap adjustment is accomplished by the adjusting lever (29), the CPU causes the print head (8) to shift toward a rear standard position and stores the count N1 of driving pulses required for the shift movement. The set printing gap is detected on the basis of this value N1. The print head (8) is then moved until it contacts the printing sheet (6) and a count N2 of driving pulses required for the contact movement is stored in the memory of the CPU. The paper thickness is measured on the basis of this value N2. Based on the paper thickness, an adequate gap range is read out from the ROM and, if the set printing gap is outside of this range, a warning is given.

Abstract: An optical data communication system (10) for transmitting a stream of light pulses (30), including both priority pulses (32) and variable data pulses (34) from an optical emitter (24) atop certain vehicles (20, 22, 24), such as police cars, etc., to a detector (16) mounted along a traffic route. The method allows variable data (32) to be transmitted in a stream of light pulses (30) along with priority pulses (34). The variable data can include an identification code that uniquely identifies the emitter, an offset code that causes a phase selector to create a traffic signal offset, an operation code that causes traffic signal lights to assume at least one phase, and a range setting code that causes a phase selector to set a threshold to which future optical transmissions will be compared. Phase selectors (18) separately identify received priority and data pulses and assemble data derived therefrom. The data may include a discrimination algorithm for tracking a plurality of optical transmissions with each detector channel. The optical emitters may also be provided with a coincidence avoidance mechanism which causes overlapping optical transmission from separate optical emitters to drift apart. The optical signal format allows variable data to be transmitted while maintaining compatibility with prior optical traffic preemption systems.

Abstract: A digital color image quantization mechanism employs sequential product code vector quantization, to sequentially extract chrominance and luminance values from the vectors and quantizes chrominance and luminance features based upon a conditional distribution of these features within partitioned regions of chrominance/luminance color space. The mechanism sequentially partitions a histogram of the original digital color image in luminance, chrominance (Y,Cb,Cr) space coordinates into a plurality off luminance-chrominance sub-regions or color space cells, such that each partitioned color cell is associated with a color of the output palette through which the color composition of a reproduced color image is defined. A splitting criterion is employed to determine the sequential order of partitioning of an axis. Because off the increased sensitivity off the human visual system to contouring artifacts in regions of an image to low spatial activity, the splitting criterion along the luminance axis is scaled or weighted in inverse proportion to the average spatial activity of the luminance-chrominance region subject to be split. A map of chrominance and luminance output codes is generated for the respective pixels of the output color image in accordance with the axial splitting or quantization of the chrominance and luminance components of the histogram. The resulting map of chrominance and luminance output codes of the output digital color image is then transformed into sets of RGB output color codes for application to the respective RGB digital-to-analog converters that drive the color image reproduction device.

Abstract: An improved Doherty amplifier (70) for operation at microwave frequencies uses microstrip circuit technology and gallium arsenide amplifying devices (48,50) to achieve greater efficiency and linearity. An input quadrature hybrid network (42) divides the input power equally between a carrier amplifier device (48) and a peak amplifier device (50) with a quarter-wave delay at the input to the peak amplifier insuring that the output power of the two amplifier devices (48,50) will be in phase at the load. A three-port network combines the phase delayed carrier amplifier device output with the output of the peak amplifier device. The outputs of the two amplifier devices (48,50) are connected together by a quarter wave transmission line (64) of impedance R. A load of one-half the optimum load (R/2) is attached to the output of the peak amplifier device (50). A quarter-wave line section (66) provides the transition from R/2 to the desired impedance, R. When the peak amplifier device (50) is off, its output impedance is infinite and the output power of the carrier amplifier device (48) is delivered entirely to the load. As the peak amplifier device (50) becomes more active, it delivers more of its output power to the load while its output current gradually reduces the effective load impedance seen by the carrier amplifier device (48) thus allowing it to deliver more power. In this way the microwave Doherty amplifier (70) allows 6 dB of linear power amplification beyond the point where a normal Class "B" amplifier begins to saturate and the microwave amplifier efficiency remains close to the maximum attainable linear efficiency.
