  • Publication number: 20110188124
    Abstract: Present invention provides an image print sheet printable in high accuracy without reducing productivity. After a lenticular sheet 101 and a reception layer sheet 102 on which a detection pattern 103 is printed are inserted in an attachment apparatus 110 from insertion openings, the optical density is measured repeatedly by a density sensor 111 while rotating and parallel-moving the lenticular sheet 101. When the maximum density is measured, the reception layer sheet 102 is attached to the lenticular sheet 101. In this way, an image print sheet 100 having the detection pattern 103 parallel to the longitudinal direction of convex parts 101a and coinciding with the vertexes of the convex parts 101a is produced. When printing on the image print sheet 100, the detection pattern is detected by a photo-sensor, an azimuth adjustment and a print start position determination will be performed. Consequently, printing with high accuracy is available.

    Abstract: In a method and a RS (Relay Station) for aggregating service connection identifiers in IEEE 802.16, the RS receives a 1st QoS (Quality of Service) from a 1st MS (Mobile subscriber Station), and stores a 1st SFID/CID (Service Flow Identifier)/CID (Connection Identifier) between a BS (Base Station)-RS corresponding to a 2nd SFID/CID between the RS-MS in table information. The RS receives a DSA-REQ (Dynamic Service Addition Request) including a QoS same as the 1st QoS from a 2nd MS, and sends a DSC-REQ (Dynamic Service Change REQuest) to the BS. Then, the RS receives a DSC-RSP (Dynamic Service Change ReSPonse) from the BS, assigns a 3rd SFID/CID between the RS-MS, and stores a 3rd SFID/CID corresponding to the 1st SFID/CID in the table information. The RS sends a DSA-RSP (Dynamic Service Addition ReSPonse) including 3rd SFID/CID to 2nd MS.

  • Patent number: 7565901
    Abstract: When the opening angle of an intake control valve is limited to a given opening angle by fuel cut, an EGR apparatus is activated, and a malfunction of the EGR apparatus is diagnosed on the basis of a change in intake manifold pressure before and after the activation of the EGR apparatus. When the control for reducing the intake-manifold negative pressure is not implemented, the change of the intake manifold pressure is corrected with a changing amount of first reference intake pressure (P(Ne)) changed by engine speed Ne. When the control for reducing the intake manifold genitive pressure is implemented, the change of the intake manifold pressure is corrected with a changing amount of second reference intake pressure (PL(Ne)) changed by engine speed Ne.
