Abstract: A digital image processing method determines the extent of blocking artifacts in a digital image by first forming a column difference image and averaging the values in the columns in the column difference image to produce a column difference array. The average of the values in the column difference array that are separated by one block width are computed to produce a block averaged column difference array. Then, the peak value in the block averaged column difference array is located, and the mean value of the block averaged column difference array (excluding the peak value) is calculated to produce a column base value, and the ratio between the peak value and the base value are computed to produce a column ratio. The foregoing steps are repeated in the row direction to produce a row ratio. Finally, the column and row ratios are employed as a measure of the extent of blocking artifacts in the digital image.

Abstract: Correcting operation is carried out at every
predetermined time. In the correcting operation, an indicator
is forcibly returned to an initial position by outputting a
correction pulse to a step motor. In this case, there is a
case in which a positional relationship between a rotor and
a stator of a step motor is shifted since the indicator is forcibly
stopped at the initial position in view of the mechanism. When
the shift is caused, even when pulses are inputted for operating
the step motor, at a first pulse, the step motor is not rotated.
In order to resolve this problem beforehand, thereafter, the
indicator is operated by 1 step in a regular rotation direction.
After finishing the above-described correcting operation, as
in a normal case, the indicator is reciprocated in the
predetermined range.

IPC: F16H7/08
Filed: 2001-04-12
Abstract: The invention comprises a self-contained mechanical belt tensioner that produces damping which is a function of the applied hubload through the effect of frictional forces derived from the sliding action of mutually opposing wedges. A first wedge or conical piston is contained within a housing. The conical piston cooperates with a second or conical wedge. A surface of the conical wedge slides on the inner surface of the housing. The conical wedge is expandable in a direction normal to the inner surface of the housing. A spring urges the conical wedge into engagement with the conical piston. As the pulley is loaded, as with an impulse load, the piston will move into the conical wedge. This, in turn, will cause the conical wedge to expand against the inner surface of the housing. The expansion of the conical wedge in the housing will increase the frictional force between the conical wedge and the housing. This will have the effect of damping movements of the conical piston and, in turn, of the pulley. The greater the impulse, then the greater the expansion of the conical wedge. This increases the resultant frictional force resisting movement between the conical wedge and the housing. As the load moves toward a minimum, the frictional force is abated to a low level allowing ease of retraction of the piston.
