Patent EP-0791895-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SHU JOSEPH
IPC: G09G5/36
Filed: 1997-02-24
Abstract: To convert the multiple-bit-resolution intensity information for a colour
component of a given pixel into the ink-on or ink-off command required to control a
printer, the source values for different pixels are compared with thresholds in a "dither
matrix" of different thresholds for different pixels, and a given pixel is printed if the
source value exceeds the dither-matrix value for that pixel. Different dither matrices are
employed for different colour components, with the result that lighter-colour areas have
a smoother appearance than would result if a common dither matrix were employed for
all colour components.

Abstract: In the preferred embodiment, an inkjet printer (10)
includes a replaceable print cartridge (14) which is
inserted into a scanning carriage (13). The print
cartridge contains a regulator valve (27,54). An ink tube
(23) extends from the scanning carriage to a separate,
disposable ink supply cartridge (22) located within the
printer. A second valve (64) connected between the ink
tube and the ink supply cartridge is automatically
actuated when it is determined that the printer is not
being used. The valve (64) seal is more reliable than the
inexpensive one-way valve seal in the disposable ink
supply cartridge. The reliable valve seal prevents any
air bubbles in the tube from expanding toward the ink
supply cartridge, enabling the use of more flexible tubes
which have less stringent air diffusion characteristics.
In another embodiment, instead of a valve, a pressure
source (77) is connected to the ink tube to maintain the
partial air pressure within the tube at approximately
ambient pressure.

Abstract: The invention is a repeater for a telecommunications transmission
system such as a CDMA wireless system. The repeater reduces leakage by means of
a feedback signal (on 30,31,32,33) whose amplitude and phase are adjusted (in 31) in
response to the amplitude and phase of a sampled input signal (from 35) when a
switch (24) turns off the normal output of the repeater for a short period of time. In
one embodiment, a pilot signal (from 40) is transmitted during this time period so
that the sampled input is the leakage signal. In another embodiment, the sampled
input is the normal transmission signal received during the time period.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a wavelength division
multiplex optical transmission apparatus (1) including an
optical sending system (2) having at least a plurality of optical
sending sections (2A, 2B) to generate and transmit optical
signals having different wavelengths (λ1, λ3) [hereinafter
referred to as optical signals (λ1, λ3)], a plurality of optical
amplifying sections (4A, 4B) to amplify the optical signals
(λ1, λ3), and a wavelength division multiplexing section (11) to
process by wavelength division multiplexing the optical signals
(λ1, λ3) after optical amplification. An optical output level
control section (13) is mounted in the apparatus (1) to control,
for the wavelengths (λ1, λ3), optical output levels of the

Abstract: A vacuum processing apparatus has vacuum
processing chambers (11a,11b,11c) the insides of which
must be dry cleaned. When the vacuum processing
chambers are dry-cleaned, dummy substrates (30) are
transferred into the vacuum processing chamber by
substrate conveyor means (13,14) from dummy substrate
storage means (1c) which is diposed in the air
atmosphere separate from storage means (1a,1b) for
storing substrates (20) to be processed, and the inside
of the vacuum processing chamber is dry-cleaned by
generating a plasma. The dummy substrate (30) is
returned to the dummy substrate storage means (1c)
after dry cleaning is completed. Accordingly, no
specific mechanism for the cleaning is necessary and
the construction of the apparatus can be made simple.
Furthermore, the dummy substrates (30) used for dry
cleaning and the substrates (20) to be processed do not
coexist, contamination of the substrates to be
processed due to dust and remaining gas can be
prevented and the production yield can be high.

Abstract: A pacing lead (35), and system for pacing, where the lead has an improved
distal tip designed to provide reliable chronic fixation of the electrode-heart interface, while
also providing low pacing threshold. The distal end of the lead has a standard surface (50),
of roughly hemispherical shape, made of a porous material. In one embodiment, the tip
surface is suitably about 6-8 square mm, and there is a smaller surface of about 1.5-2.0 square
mm which is electrically isolated from the remainder of the porous surface; the smaller
surface (48) acts as a high impedance electrode, providing low threshold, while the larger
porous surface (49) provides the stable fixation. A steroid source (52) is housed in the distal
end of the lead, so as to provide an eluted steroid to the electrode surface area, as well as at
least part of the remaining porous surface, whereby the overall porous surface and the eluted
steroid minimizes the resulting capsule of non-excitable tissue around the electrode, providing
for a stable reduced threshold. In another embodiment, a switching network (25, 27) is
provided, suitably in the pacemaker, for selectively connecting one or both portions as the
active electrode for pacing and for sensing.

Abstract: The step of printing onto the surface of a flexible
sheet material conventionally involves printing a colour
image by a plurality of offset litho printing steps, then
screen over printing a dense white continuous layer on what
becomes the back of the image. The plastics sheet is
conventionally adhered to the base layer by means of a more
or less white self adhesive tape. When we investigated the
possibility of leaving out the white screen printing step,
we found that tiny air bubbles spoiled the image as seen
through the plastics sheet. 
     Against this background, there is disclosed a method
of making a mouse mat, comprising the steps of: printing a
design and/or text onto a surface of a flexible sheet
plastics material; printing by offset litho white ink over
the said design and/or text; and adhering the printed
surface onto a resiliently compressible backing sheet using
a double sided self adhesive tape having a white liner. 
     Offset litho printing has the advantages of being
quicker and less labour intensive. It is possible to use
inks which are cured by exposure to ultraviolet light, so
avoiding the drying and stacking problems. Much less ink is
used.

Abstract: An audible waveform system is provided that senses a parameter relating
to the ventilation of a patient, e.g. the pressure of breathing gas in a patient
breathing circuit (14). As changes occur in that parameter, the system produces
short bursts of sound of a predetermined frequency as the parameter attains
certain incremental values of change. The frequency of each sound burst is
varied according to the magnitude of the parameter sensed and it is preferable
that the frequency of each sound burst corresponds to the magnitude of the
parameter sensed (i.e. a given value of the parameter will always trigger the
same frequency sound burst). Thus the frequency of the sound bursts increases
and decreases as the parameter increases or decreases, respectively. In the
preferred embodiment, the system provides an audible waveform based on the
pressure in a patient's airway so that the clinician can receive information
relating to that waveform conveniently and without taking attention away from
other monitors and/or alarms.

Abstract: A digital camera has an image sensor and an optical
system for focusing a scene on the image sensor. A zooming
system is used for changing a zoom rate of the scene that is
focused on the image sensor. By operating the zooming system
during the recording of a series of images, each of the images
has a different zoom rate and therefore a different level of
detail and field of view. The images are combined to form one
still image of super high resolution. The zoom rate between
images is detected by using horizontal and vertical pixel
intensity value projection distributions in both forward and
backward prediction methods. Horizontal and vertical
candidate projection distributions that are correlated to a
range of possible zoom rates are compared with the horizontal
and vertical projection distributions of the former and
current images being processed to determine a least error
match that is selected as the zoom rate between the adjacent
images. Using the image to image zoom rate, a scaling factor
is determined that is used for scaling each current image
before overwriting the current image over the former images
previously written to the image buffer. In this way, the
detail of each image in the series is written to the image
buffer and a super high resolution, wide angle still image is
formed that can be stored and displayed.
