Patent EP-0923230-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GILMAN PAUL B
IPC: H04N5/91
Filed: 1998-12-03
Abstract: A method which substantially maintains the exposure latitude
contained in one or more digital images captured in linear form and which uses an
output device with a predetermined aim curve for producing visual images from
such digital image includes the steps of selecting a particular reference portion of
the scene corresponding to the digital image and adjusting the code value of such
reference portion to a code value corresponding to a desired density and which
corresponds to a point on the aim curve and changing the remaining code values of
the digital image based upon the selected code value of the point on the aim curve
so that a new digital image in linear form is produced; transforming the new digital
image to form a third digital image which has code values based on the aim curve;
and producing visual images by the output device in response to the transformed
third digital image.

Abstract: A liquid ink printer including a liquid ink printhead for ejecting liquid ink
drops on a recording medium to form an image thereon having reduced misting
defects. A printhead includes a selection circuit (100), coupled to a plurality of
transducers (92), for causing non-adjacent nozzles of an array of nozzles (50) to
eject liquid ink drops substantially simultaneously. In addition, a method of
reducing misting defects during printing of a line of an image by a liquid ink
printhead having a plurality of transducers (92) being activatable to eject ink from
an array of N nozzles (50) includes the steps of ejecting a first ink drop from a
first nozzle and a second ink drop from a second nozzle substantially
simultaneously to form a first portion of the line of the image, the first nozzle and
the second nozzle being non-adjacent, and ejecting a third ink drop from a third
nozzle of the array of nozzles to form a second portion of the line of the image,
the third nozzle being located between the first nozzle and the second nozzle.
Multiple ripples of the printhead nozzles are made to complete a single line of the
image.

Abstract: A conveyance apparatus (16) comprises a pair of arcuate-shaped cams (20)
pivotally mounted to a support member (22), means (26) for biasing the
arcuate surface of each cam into contact with the borehole
wall, and actuators (24) operatively connected to each cam. A
logging tool is attached to the conveyance apparatus. When
either actuator (24) is activated in a first direction, the cam
connected to the activated actuator is linearly displaced
forward and the arcuate surface of the cam (20) slides along the
borehole wall. When either actuator (24) is activated in a second
direction, the activated actuator pulls the connected cam (20)
backwards and the biasing means (26) thereby urges the arcuate
surface of the cam to lock against the borehole wall. Once
the cam is locked, further movement of the actuator (24) propels
both the conveyance apparatus and the logging tool forward
along the highly deviated or horizontal borehole.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an error correction scheme used in a computer system where data is provided from a service to a terminal. The data is dynamically changing, and the user is interested more in a final or current state of the data than in intermediate states. Data is provided in a stream of blocks with sequential "sequence" numbers associated with each block. The invention assumes that the data provider transmits data blocks in order of sequence. The terminal tracks the sequence numbers of incoming blocks. When the terminal finds that one or more blocks have been skipped or are missing, the terminal sends a request to the central source for update data. Unlike prior art systems, which request that the missing block or blocks be re-sent, the present invention requests that the information contained in the missing command be provided, for example the current data at the display area associated with the missing block. The central source maintains the current data state of all display areas, and so sends a data block containing the requested data. In the meantime, the terminal continues to receive and display all received data blocks without waiting for the update request to be filled. This differs from many prior art schemes where display is halted until replacement data is received.
