  • Patent number: 6928254
    Abstract: A color image forming apparatus includes a photoreceptor medium, an exposing unit, a plurality of developer units, and a power supply. The exposing unit scans light onto the photoreceptor drum to form a latent electrostatic image. The plurality of developer units include developer rollers supplying toner to the latent electrostatic image to develop the latent electrostatic image into a toner image. Each developer unit contains toner of a different color, and the developer units are arranged around the photoreceptor medium so that the developer rollers are separated by a development gap from the photoreceptor medium. The power supply selectively applies a first bias allowing toner to be supplied through the development gap to the photoreceptor medium on which the latent electrostatic image is formed and a second bias preventing toner from passing through the development gap.

  • Patent number: 6188723
    Abstract: A finite impulse response (FIR) filter for wave-shaping digital quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) symbols is disclosed, in which multipliers are replaced with multiplexers, the replaced multiplexers are utilized to receive the symbols directly from a symbol encoder without zero (0) interpolations, and the critical path is reduced by shifting the position of a delay device. The filter includes a first FIR means for delaying the externally inputted symbol data, and for utilizing the delayed symbol data as selection signals to sum up the selected multiplication product (selected from among products obtained by multiplying the symbol values by a pre-set filter tab coefficient) and the selected value selected by a first multiplexing means. A second FIR means delays again the delayed symbol data of the first FIR means, and utilizes the delayed symbol data as selection signals to sum up the selected multiplication product and the output value of the first FIR means.
