摘要:
A process and apparatus for measuring the amount of water in vapor has been developed. The process begins with adjusting the level of water in a vessel housing a capacitance probe so as to immerse from about 5 to about 15 percent of the probe and measuring and recording an initial capacitance, CI. A measured amount of vapor is passed through a condenser, the condensed water is conducted to the vessel and a final capacitance, CF, is measured and recorded. The change in capacitance is calculated, &Dgr;C=(CF−CI), and the difference, &Dgr;C, along with a calculation correlation is used to determine the amount of water condensed. With the amount of water condensed and the measured amount of vapor passed through the vessel, the amount of water in the vapor may be readily calculated. The vapor to be analyzed may be at a temperature as high as about 1000° C.

A process and apparatus for controlling the amount of water in the vapor of multiple zones of a calcination or oxidation operation have been developed. The process begins with calibration of a vessel housing a capacitance probe. The level of water in a vessel housing the capacitance probe is adjusted so as to immerse from about 5 to about 15 percent of the probe and measuring and recording an initial capacitance, CI. A measured amount of vapor is passed through a condenser, the condensed water is conducted to the vessel and a final capacitance, CF, is measured and recorded. The change in capacitance is calculated, &Dgr;C=(CF−CI), and the difference, &Dgr;C, is used along with the calibration to determine the amount of water condensed. With the amount of water condensed and the measured amount of vapor passed through the vessel, the amount of water in the vapor may be readily calculated. An operating parameter of the calcination or oxidation operation is adjusted to maintain the moisture content in the zones within a predetermined range.

A recording head (16) is operated to form a regular pattern of image swaths on a recording media (17). The regular pattern of image features comprises a first set of image features (60A) that is formed with an imaging parameter set to a first predetermined value and a second set of image features (60B) is formed with an imaging parameter set to a second predetermined value, different from the first predetermined value. Image features in the first set and the second set are arranged on the recording media with a sub-scan spatial frequency equal to a non-integer multiple of a sub-scan spatial frequency of the image swaths. A scanner (40) generates data (47) of the scanned pattern, wherein a first integer multiple of a sampling spatial frequency employed by the scanner is equal to a second integer multiple of the sub-scan spatial frequency of the first set and the second set of image features. The data is analyzed to determine a quantified value representative of banding between the first set of and the second set of image features are adjusted.

摘要:
A method for adjusting an imaging parameter includes operating a recording head (16) to form a first set of image features (60A) on a media (17). Image features in the first set are formed while the imaging parameter is set to a first predetermined value. The recording head forms a second set of image features (60B) on the media. Features in the second set are formed while the imaging parameter is set to a second predetermined value different from the first predetermined value. Image features of the first set are interleaved with image features of the second set to form an interleaved pattern of image features on the media. Data (47) from the interleaved pattern is generated and analyzed to determine a quantified value representative of banding in the interleaved pattern. The imaging parameters are adjusted based on the quantified value.

摘要:
An optical signal is modulated by passing it through an optical signal path in an optical modulator. Different electric fields are applied across a first pair of parallel phase modulation arms so as to produce different signal phase modulations in respective portions of the optical signal; and different electric fields are also applied across a second pair of parallel phase modulation arms so as to produce different signal phase modulations in respective portions of the optical signal. The different magnitudes of the electric fields are pre-determined so as to control chirp and to promote modulation linearity. The chirp in the optical signal output from the optical modulator may be reduced or even eliminated or may be predetermined to counteract or even eliminate chirp generated in a transmission path.
