摘要:
A Karman type air flow sensor element is disposed within a duct slidably mounted between members defining an annular space. The annular space causes the intake air to increase its velocity as it approaches the inner periphery of the annular space thus creating a pressure differential zone. By moving the duct so that the inlet and outlet are exposed to different high and low pressures respectively the pressure differential across said the inlet and outlet of the duct can be controlled to vary the fraction of the total intake air inducted therethrough.

An image processing method for carrying out predetermined correction processing with respect to one or more items regarding the quality of color images and the image processing method comprises a judgment step for judging the necessity/nonnecessity of correction with respect to each of the above-mentioned items and a correction processing step for carrying out the predetermined correction processing with respect to the item judged as required to be corrected at the above-mentioned judgment step.
摘要:
The gray axis of an input apparatus is shifted so as to match the gray axis of an output apparatus. Each data on a plane of equal lightness located in the Gamut of the input apparatus is shifted in the same direction in accordance with the shift of the gray axis by an amount of shifting smaller in proportion to greater distance from the gray axis. Therefore, the image is not governed by the chromaticness in the shifting direction even if the gray axis is shifted. Points located outside the Gamut of the output apparatus is compressed-converted into points within the Gamut (surface) where color difference is minimized while maintaining the lightness. A desired image is reproduced without inversion in the lightness after Gamut compression between data.
摘要:
A control system for an inkjet printer to deliver a drive voltage to a piezoelectric element to discharge an ink drop and to reduce the effects of post-discharge vibrations propagated through an ink reservoir within a printing head of the inkjet printer. The control system can reduce the effects of post-discharge vibrations by delivering a secondary pulse to the piezoelectric element following delivery of the drive voltage and/or tailoring the leading and trailing edges of the driving voltage.

A photosensitive member of the present invention comprises an electrically conductive substrate, a photoconductive layer comprising an organic material and a hydrogen-containing amorphous carbon overcoat layer containing one or more atoms selected from the group consisting of halogen, oxygen and nitrogen.The overcoat layer contains hydrogen in an amount of about 5 to about 50 atomic % based on the combined amount of hydrogen atoms and carbon atoms.
摘要:
An internal combustion engine carburetor is disclosed which includes an induction passage provided therein with venturi means and controlled by throttle valve means, a fuel bowl connected through a main solenoid valve to a main fuel passage for discharging fuel through a main nozzle opening into the venturi means, a fuel pump connected through an auxiliary solenoid valve to an auxiliary fuel passage into which an air bleed opens for discharging fuel through a sonic nozzle opening into the induction passage downstream of the throttle valve means, and fast-idle mechanism for forcing the throttle valve means to open to a predetermined angle from its closed position. A control circuit is provided for providing a control signal corrected based on the density of atmospheric air, which corresponds to the rate of air flow through the induction passage for controlling the main and auxiliary solenoid valves. The control circuit is adapted to drive the fast-idle mechanism at low engine temperatures.
摘要:
A feedback control system using an oxygen-sensitive air/fuel ratio sensor which is disposed in induction passage for an IC engine downstream of a fuel supply device with the provision of an ignition means to burn a fractional portion of an air-fuel mixture in the induction passage such that the oxygen-sensitive sensor is exposed to a resultant combustion gas. The sensor is of the concentration cell type having a layer of solid electrolyte such as zirconia provided with two electrode layers, and constant DC current is supplied to this sensor to cause migration of oxygen ions through the solid electrolyte layer, whereby this sensor exhibits a slope output characteristic and can detect air/fuel ratios either above or below a stoichiometric ratio or exhibits an on-off characteristic and can detect the stoichiometric ratio depending on the intensity and flow direction of the current. Owing to reduced overall length of the closed-loop, this control system can accomplish correction of a deviated mixing ratio in a shortened period of time.
