Abstract: An antenna device arranged to facilitate communications within a computer system includes a core wound with an antenna thereon, the antenna further being connected with an electronic board. The core has a high magnetic permeability so as to increase the magnetic field intensity and enhance the efficiency of the antenna device. The wound-core antenna can dramatically reduce the length of the antenna so as to enable the device to fit into a miniature wireless device.

Abstract: A scorotron charging apparatus for producing a uniform charge on a charge retentive surface, comprising: corona producing means, spaced from the charge retentive surface, for emitting corona ions; and a grid, interposed between said corona producing means and the charge retentive surface, said grid having a first region of apertures disposed longitudinal with respect to the charge retentive surface and disposed substantially perpendicular to the direction of travel of the charge retentive surface, and a second region of apertures, adjacent to said first region of apertures, disposed longitudinal with respect to the charge retentive surface, said first region of apertures having an open area substantial higher than said second region of apertures.

Abstract: A multi-function support has a main body having a gripping surface, and at least one arm that is pivotably connected to the main body, with each arm having a resilient element and a gripping surface. A gripping space is defined between the gripping surface of the main body and the gripping surface of each arm, and each resilient element exerts a natural bias that normally pushes the gripping surface of the corresponding arm towards the gripping surface of the main body.

Abstract: In DC pin scorotron charging apparatus for charging a photoreceptor to a final voltage, a first DC pin scorotron charging device initially charges the photoreceptor to an intermediate overshoot voltage and a second DC pin scorotron charging device thereafter uniformly charges the photoreceptor to the final voltage. The first DC pin scorotron charging device provides a generally high percent open control grid area, a generally high emitter slope, and a generally high emitter pin current. The second DC pin scorotron charging device provides a generally low percent open control grid area, a generally low emitter slope, and a generally low emitter pin current.

Abstract: An automatic, dynamic window anti freezing system for the windshield and the rear window of a motor vehicles parked in cold weather, connected to a battery, comprises a temperature range control-switch unit, an optic frost-monitor, and a sweeping time (frequency)- control to drive a wiper system to work for preventing frost accumulating on the window glass. The temperature unit sets up a certain working range to turn on the system, covering the real freezing stage of the windows. The sweeping time control sets up predetermined sweeping timely manner for the wipers to sweep. The monitor emits light signals to monitor the frost accumulating on the window glass, and actuates the sweeping control to drive wipers to sweep it off when detecting it. The energy consumption is generally exceptional low due to that working is effectively controlled and easily done. Thus a related window is substantially able to avoid freezing on.

Abstract: A dual function sleep preventing system comprises a micro optic eyelid monitor, a micro optic tilting monitor, a signal combination circuits and an alarming unit. The eyelid monitor is placed in the vicinity of an eye by an appropriate mounting device when in use, using an emitter to transmit modulated appropriate light signals towards the eye, and using optic sensors to sense the influenced light by the eyelid, to detect the movement of eyelid. The tilting monitor comprises an optic tilt switch set on the side head of a user, using a micro optic monitor to detect a small ball's rolling in a closed tube system inside the switch when tilting. Both the monitors are connected to a signal combination circuits, which has an input signal filtering device, a switch part and a counter. The filtering device sets an appropriate time delay range to pick up dangerous long symptoms, base on signal length and the difference between a monitor signal's appearing time and another monitor's.

Abstract: In an electrostatographic imaging apparatus employing at least one charging device, scorotron which consists of one or more fine wires supported on insulated blocks spaced between the photoconductive surface and a conductive or insulative surface parallel to it. A screen or grid is interposed between the corona wires and the photoconductive surface and the grid is maintained at a potential roughly equal to the potential desired on the photoconductive surface. The scorotrons geometry, the individual wires are from 1/2 to 11/2 inches apart and are spaced from the grid by about 3/4 of an inch. Field enhancement electrode(s) are placed on the screen and are biased at the same potential as the screen. The field enhancement electrode(s) enhance electrical performance.

Abstract: In an electrostatographic imaging apparatus employing at least one charging device, in an electrostatic charge process involving the creation of latent electrostatic images, A method for controlling corona current generation by said at least one charging device is disclosed. The method comprising the steps of: generating an AC current and an AC voltage with a power supply; measuring the steady state negative half cycle of current, filtering capacitive current spikes from said negative half cycle current measurement and generating a corona current feedback signal in response to said filtering step; and dynamically adjusting the AC voltage in response to the corona current feedback signal so that the steady state negative half cycle of current measured in said measuring step remains constant.
