The printing apparatus (100) comprises a laser light source arrangement (110, 400, 600) comprising a plurality of laser light sources (111, 112, 113, 402, 404, 406, 604, 606, 808, 810) arranged such that laser beams (114, 410, 805, 806) of the laser light sources (111, 112, 113, 402, 404, 406, 604, 606, 808, 810) intersect a surface (121) of a target object (120) at different target points (123, 24, 125, 412, 414, 416, 616, 610, 802) along a moving direction (122), a transport mechanism (130) for moving the target object (120) and the laser light sources (111, 12, 113, 402, 404, 406, 604, 606, 808, 810) relatively to each other in the moving 10 direction (122) and a controlling arrangement (140), which is realized to control the laser light sources (111, 112, 113, 402, 404, 406, 604, 606, 808, 810) and/or the transport mechanism (130) based on image data (150) in such a way, that the energy level of a target point (123, 124, 125, 412, 414, 416, 616, 610, 802) is stepwise increased by irradiation of at least two different laser light sources along the moving direction (122).

The method is based on a determination of the orientation of the sensor to the surface moving with respect to the sensor and then acquiring data where the lateral velocity is small and the forward velocity is large. Then, the orientation of the sensor with respect to the direction of the forward velocity is determined and the velocity data subsequently measured are corrected using the measured orientation of the sensor with respect to the reference surface and the forward velocity direction.
摘要:
A method for driving a high-pressure gas discharge lamp of a projector system, which is suitable to produce and to supply to a light valve device during a projection interval (4) a light beam of a basic color which is selected from several basic colors (G, R, B). The lamp is driven by a lamp current. During said projection interval light valves of the light valve device are controlled in a pulse width modulation manner to have each valve provide a respective wanted light integral over said projection interval. During at least one of a number of successive projection intervals associated with one basic color a magnitude of the lamp current is temporarily reduced for at least a time that all light valves can be controlled for said one basic color.

The invention relates to a velocity determination apparatus for determining a relative velocity between a first object (12), to which the velocity determination apparatus is attachable, and a second object (1). The velocity determination apparatus comprises a laser (3) having a laser cavity (4) for emitting first radiation (5), which is reflected by the second object (1), wherein the reflected radiation interferes with the first radiation (5) within the laser cavity (4). An interference signal detector (7) detects an interference signal depending on the interference within the laser cavity (4) and a velocity determination unit (8) determines the relative velocity based on the interference signal. A reliability value determination unit (9) determines a reliability value for indicating the reliability of the determined relative velocity based on at least one of the group consisting of the detected interference signal, the determined relative velocity and a characteristic of the laser.
