    摘要: An electro-optic light modulator of the type including a body of an electro-optic material having opposed surfaces and a pair of planar conductive electrodes on at least one of the surfaces of the body. Polarity-reversing drive circuitry applies a voltage across the electrodes, the polarity of the voltage being reversed at a frequency of about 1 Hz or less with polarity reversal occurring either when the light modulator is turned off or when there is an insignificiant voltage drop across the electrodes. This low frequency of the reversal of the polarity of the voltage substantially eliminates drift of the voltage-transmissivity of the modulator, lowers leakage, and reduces damage to the electrodes during a given period of time of operation.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for establishing optimum film exposure time for documents of different reflectances, A photo-sensor is used to produce a signal proportional to the intensity of light reflected from the document to be microfilmed, The signal is integrated and a time is determined for the integrated signal to reach a threshold or reference value, The time needed to reach the threshold value is measured very accurately by a microprocessor, The measured time is then convened to new time by using a look-up table, The new or desired shutter time is controlled by the microprocessor by terminating the exposure when the total time the shutter was open equals new exposure time found in this look-up table.

    摘要: According to one aspect of the present invention an apparatus for multiple document detection includes an ultrasonic transmitter (14) for transmitting an ultrasonic signal (16). An ultrasonic receiver (20) receives the ultrasonic signal (17), after it passes through the at least one of the multiple documents (18). A phase comparator (24) compares the transmitted ultrasonic signal (16) and the received ultrasonic signal (17), and an amplitude measurement circuit (26) compares the received ultrasonic signal (17) to a reference. A microprocessor (32) compares an information signal (28) from the phase comparator (24) and an information signal (30) from the amplitude measurement circuit (26) to a predetermined threshold to determine if multiple documents are present.

    摘要: A method for determining a digital phase in a signal comprises sampling a reference signal for a low going edge. If the low going edge is not detected the reference signal is sampled again. If low going edge is detected (78) a counter is initialized (70). The reference signal is again sampled if a high going edge is not detected the reference signal is resampled until the high going edge is detected (79). When a high going edge is detected (79) a counter is started (73). A resulting signal is then sampled if the level of the resulting signal is high the resulting signal is sampled until a low going edge is detected (78). If a low going edge is not detected sampling of the resulting signal continues. If a low going edge is detected (78) sampling is continued until a high going edge is detected (79) at which point the counter is stopped (76). The counter updates a register (96). When the resulting signal was sampled for a high level the resulting signal is sampled until a high going edge is determined (79) at which point the register is stopped and converted to a phase difference (84). In one embodiment of the invention the reference signal being sampled is a driver for an ultrasonic transmitter (14) and the resulting signal is an electrical signal (21) representative of a received ultrasonic signal (16).
