Patent EP-0660196-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MAGDE JOHN M JR
IPC: G03G15/04
Filed: 1994-12-09
Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the presence of image information in the lead edge of an input document by comparing the average difference between a plurality of instantaneous optical density measurements of a reference strip and the average optical density for the reference strip to the average difference between a plurality of instantaneous optical density measurements of a lead edge of an original input document and the average optical density for the lead edge of the original input document. Analysis of optical density measurements during scanning of the lead edge of an original input document is accomplished so that image information on the lead edge of an original input document is not misinterpreted as indicative of a dark background original input document. The method and apparatus provides novel control of bias voltages applied to subsystems in an electrostatographic printing apparatus in response to the presence or absence of image information in the lead edge of an input document so that both background development and the loss of image density for images on the lead edge of a document is minimized by setting the exposure lamp voltage, and/or the developer bias, charging potential, as well as other variable parameters to predetermined settings in response to the detection of image information in the original input document.

Abstract: The method branches-off a frame synchronisation signal from a carrier frequency signal which contains digital information in a frame structure. The frame has a lower amplitude than other time slots, in at least one time slot. The received signal is converted into a lower frequency range and then put through an analog-to-digital converter. A short term power signal and a long term power signal are formed from the resulting signal. These power signals are then compared. Before the comparison, the short term power signal pref. undergoes sample rate decimation and is then averaged. The decimation rate is adjustable and depends on the respective mode of the received signal. The signal is averaged over a constant number of sample values.

Abstract: An emergency locking seatbelt retractor. The retractor includes a pivoting lock plate (23) which can pivot through a limited arc during activation of a webbing sensor (39) or a vehicle sensor (34). When the lock plate is in its quiescent position, a pin (28) thereon operates to hold a lock bar (26) out of engagement with ratchet teeth (15) on the webbing spool, thereby allowing free rotation of the spool. If either or both of the webbing sensor (39) and vehicle sensor (34) are activated, the lock plate (23) is caused to pivot, drawing the pin (28) away from the lock bar (26) and allowing the lock bar (26) to engage the ratchet teeth (15), thereby locking the retractor. Additionally, the locking initiation mechanism (the lock plate (23)) and the sensors (39,34) are isolated from webbing withdrawal forces and may therefore be constructed of lightweight, inexpensive materials. The retractor includes a vehicle sensor (34) which is effective in substantially eliminating any vertical motion of the sensor ball. This prevents the retractor from locking when it is subjected to a downward acceleration.

Abstract: The memory capacity required for temporarily holding image data with respect to print means is reduced, and loads involved in supplying process of image data such as decoding and conversion process of data types are dispersed and reduced. The apparatus divides image data in parallel with a main scanning direction by image division means, stores said divided data in image data memory means, and supplies the divided image data to image data temporary memory means by image data supply means for performing a decoding process or the like. In order to provide a matching with a process speed, the image data temporary memory means temporarily retains the divided image data, and print means prints an image on a sheet of paper on the basis of the divided image data stored in the image data temporary memory means. Prediction means predicts a supply process time by way of image data supply means, and image data supply control means causes the image data supply means to start the supply process of the divided image data from the time preceded the time for the start of the print process by way of the print means according to the time predicted by image data supply and control means.

Abstract: An electric cable 11 is manufactured by extruding a layer of electrically insulating material 13 around an electric conductor 12 to form an electrically insulated core. An intermediate layer of electrically insulating material 14 is then extruded around the core. Two such insulated cores with their intermediate layers 14 are laid up together a sheath 15 of electrically insulating material is extruded around the intermediate layers 14 and the insulated cores. The intermediate layer 14 is predominantly of a material which is incompatible with the material of the sheath so that the sheath does not form a bond with the intermediate layer and the sheath can easily be stripped away from the cores when preparing the ends of the cable for electrical connection to electrical components. 
     In other embodiments the intermediate layer is incompatible with the core insulation so that the intermediate layer comes away with the sheath when the sheath is stripped. The intermediate layer may also be extruded over the insulated cores after they have been laid up together.

Abstract: A half-wave brushless, four-phase DC motor includes sets of four stator windings fed at 90° phase increments by four switches. The 0° and 180° windings are wound about their magnetic stator poles in bifilar conductor pairs, and the 90° and 270° windings are similarly wound. The bifilar windings are connected to generate the same directions of magnetic fields as the prior-art windings. As a result of the bifilar windings, the magnetic fields of the windings tend to be identical, and all the inductances of each winding tend to be transformer-coupled to the other winding of the bifilar pair. During sequential turn-off of the switches in normal operation, the coupled inductance causes a voltage kick which is poled so it can be damped, and the energy returned to the source, by a diode coupled across the other switch of the bifilar pair. Thus, a half-wave brushless DC motor keeps its advantage of low parts count and simplicity, while gaining the advantages of a full-wave motor in efficiency and voltage spike reduction.

Abstract: A free end of a second elastic member (19,119) secured to a housing ( 27,127) of a transducer is inserted into a coil-like first elastic member (41,141) secured to a distal end of an outer sheath (2,102). The portion between the housing (27) and the coil like first elastic member (41,141) at the free end of the catheter is thus reinforced to improve flexibility and prevent kinking of the catheter. In an embodiment, the housing (27) is made of insulating ceramic material. The insulation resistance of the housing (27) is thus made high so that a short between the electrodes of the oscillator does not occur even when the oscillator is in directly contact with the housing (27). An oscillator largest in size is allowed to be set in the housing.

Abstract: A multimedia direct access storage device and a method for transferring source program signals representative of a compressed digital multimedia program to and from the direct access storage device are disclosed. A multimedia program is transmitted from a multimedia server as a custom ordered series of discrete program segments and received by the multimedia direct access storage device, which buffers the compressed program segments for subsequent presentation on a local display monitor. The multimedia direct access storage device is preferably incorporated as a component of a local set-top control system for buffering a predetermined number of compressed program segments received from the multimedia server, some of which may be non-sequentially ordered and others of which may be sequentially ordered. A novel formatting methodology provides for the sequential presentation of the program segments a synchronously distributed on one or more data storage disks disposed in the direct access storage device. A user-definable presentation control window for performing local VCR-type presentation control functions for the portion of a multimedia program buffered in the direct access storage device is also provided through the novel formatting methodology. The novel formatting methodology also provides concurrent presentation and buffering of program segments received from the multimedia server for on-demand viewing of a selected multimedia program.
