  • Publication number: 20030133607
    Abstract: In a color conversion section 10a, a mode judging section 31 judges a mode in effect: a copy mode or a printer mode, according to a mode judging signal. When the copy mode is identified, the mode judging section 31 supplied RGB data to a first color conversion process section 32, and the first color conversion section 32 carries out a first color conversion process in which a transitional color conversion value, which is color-transited from a precise color conversion value and a memory color conversion value, is set as a color conversion value with respect to memory color corresponding data. When the printer mode is identified, the mode judging section 31 supplies the RGB data to a second color conversion process section 33, and the second color conversion process section 33 carries out a second color conversion process in which the memory color conversion value is set as a color conversion value with respect to the memory color corresponding data.

  • Patent number: 4997169
    Abstract: A hydraulically damped mount includes a mounting element fixed to a moving component and a support fixed to a stationary component. A resilient element is connected between the mounting element and the support and cooperates with a diaphragm to define a fluid chamber. The fluid chamber is divided into a working chamber and a compensation chamber by a partition assembly. The partition assembly has an upper plate and a lower plate joined together to define a space within which a movable plate is vertically movable to absorb movement of the fluid caused by a change in pressure in the working chamber. A spacer is centrally disposed in the upper and lower plates to provide a constant distance therebetween.
