  • Layer transfer process for image production and apparatus to perform the process
    Patent number: 5155010
    Abstract: Layer transfer process for image production wherein predetermined areas of the surface of an image carrier (21) are prepared to accept a color layer, the image carrier (21) and a color carrier (22) of layer transfer material are brought into mutual contact under pressure, and the color carrier is removed from the image carrier, so that color remains on the predetermined areas of the image carrier. A high uniformity of colorant application can be achieved over the entire surface of the image carrier. The process is performed by an apparatus with at least one roll nip (31) formed by two hard rolls (11, 12), preferably with different diameters, in which the two rolls are mutually offset relative to the feed direction (30) of the image carrier (21).

  • C-MOS differential sense amplifier
    Patent number: 5155397
    Abstract: A C-MOS sense amplifier capable of detecting voltage differences between the signals applied to its inputs in correspondence with the clock signal transitions. The amplifier has a level converter, a sense circuit and a feedback block which are inactive in a first inactive phase of the clock signal, while in a second active phase, immediately after clock signal transition, the sense amplifier attains the operating point necessary to activate the level converter and the sense circuit. Hence a high positive feedback is started which switches the sense circuit. Finally, after the level transition of a delayed clock signal, the feedback signal generated by the feedback block reduces to zero the dissipation of the whole differential sense amplifier.
