    摘要: Distributed market based analog control of a system of actuators and sensors. The system is comprised of one or more producing units having an output responsive to a market price and one or more input units having an input responsive to a market price. Market price information is communicated through an information channel that is encoded as measurable changes in non-electrical partitionable physical properties. Such partitionable physical properties include pressure, thermal, chemical or acoustic properties.

    摘要: A cantilever valve useful for paper handling applications is disclosed. The valve can be batch fabricated in two dimensional valve arrays, with each valve in the array being controlled by passive matrix addressing. Typically, each valve includes a valve housing having an aperture plate defining an aperture therethrough, and an opposing port plate positioned in spaced apart relationship to the aperture plate. A flexible film or strip is attached at its first end between the aperture and port plates and is unattached so that it is free to move between the aperture and port plates at its second end. Valve action is provided by use of a single switching electrode for moving the flexible film between an aperture blocking position and an aperture open position, with the switching electrodes positioned adjacent to the port plate.

    摘要: A valve array for supporting objects such as paper with controlled fluid flow is disclosed. Optional valve arrays can be used to controllably eject marking agents for marking or coating a paper or other suitable substrate. Each valve in the valve array has one or more flap elements positioned in a valve chamber. These flap elements are movable to alternatively block the fluid flow through valve chamber outlets with the aid of various catch mechanisms for controllably latching the flap elements. The catch mechanisms have a disabled state and an activated state for holding and allowing release of the flap elements. Once the catch mechanism are disabled, the flap elements are free to move to another position, provided they can overcome the mechanical fluid flow forces that tend to hold it in position. To counter and utilize such forces for moving the flap elements, an impulse mechanism kicks the flap element into the valve chamber, away from the catch mechanisms. Since the position of the flap elements is unstable, oscillations of the flap elements in the fluid flow will eventually bring the flap element into catchment range of another catch mechanism in an activated state.

    摘要: A method of control to synchronize the arrival of images and copy sheets at a transfer station by sensing delay of a copy sheet arrival at the transfer station. There is then a determination that the delay of arrival is incapable of being corrected to synchronize with a given image. In response, the control decides to rewrite the given image on the receiving medium or further delay the arrival of the copy sheet, or a combination of rewrite and delay, in order that the arrival of a given image and copy sheet is synchronized.

    摘要: An image detection and pixel processing system includes a plurality of detector elements for receiving an image. The detector elements are subdivided into a plurality of macrodetectors, with each macrodetector constituting four or more detector elements, and with each macrodetector providing information for determining both a total light intensity value within the macrodetector and a centroid of light intensity indicative of light intensity position within the macrodetector. An image processing assembly receives information from the plurality of macrodetectors, with the image processing assembly relating a pixel and its encompassed subpixel area to each corresponding macrodetector, and further determining the total light intensity within the pixel and the centroid of light intensity within the subpixel. The image processing assembly is capable of rendering each subpixel area as an edge when magnitude of the centroid of light intensity is greater than a predetermined threshold.

    摘要: Pixel elements capable of imaging spatial intensity variations within themselves, and displays comprised of such elements, are described. The pixel elements include a resistance layer disposed between at least one set of electrodes. Over that resistance layer is a liquid crystal material. Over that liquid crystal material is a field electrode. In operation a voltage, whose components are referenced to the field electrode, is applied across the resistance layer. The resulting current flow induces a spatially varying electric field between the field electrode and the resistance layer. That spatially varying electric field results in a corresponding response by the liquid crystal layer which results in a spatially varying light transmission through the liquid crystal material. By varying the voltage across the resistance layer and/or the voltage applied to the field electrode varying amounts of light transmission can be achieved.
