  • Patent number: 9422202
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an amorphous, vitreous phosphorus-potassium fertilizer obtained by melting raw materials containing phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5), potassium oxide (K2O), providers of SiO2 and silicates, and providers of MgO and CaO. The fertilizer of the present invention is produced by a process of melting the raw materials, followed by quenching, enabling the formation of a vitreous and amorphous material containing phases of phosphorus and of potassium, which are soluble in a weak acid.

  • Patent number: 7456890
    Abstract: An automatic exposure (AE) sensor includes a line-selecting circuit for line selection between horizontal lines and vertical lines, in addition to components of a typical AE sensor. The line-selecting circuit temporally filters a SYNC pulse for notifying a subsequent circuit about a pulse timing of an imaging signal to select a line to be read out and to cause the subsequent circuit to change an active pixel region. The number of selected lines is determined by an external input. The active pixel region is reduced when the AE sensor is incorporated in a device having a low performance CPU, thereby reducing load on the CPU. The active pixel region is increased when the AE sensor is incorporated in a device having a high performance CPU, thereby effectively using the CPU performance to achieve higher density control.

  • Patent number: 7413280
    Abstract: A method for detecting an interval of recorded positions, including the steps of recording a first pattern group in such a way that the recording heads scan a recording medium so that recording elements record a pattern having repeatedly dark density area and light density area perpendicular to a scanning direction of the recording head, recording a second pattern group in such a way that the recording heads scan the recording medium so that recording elements record a pattern having repeatedly dark density area and light density area perpendicular to a scanning direction of the recording head and further the second pattern group is overlapped on and angled to the first pattern group, detecting interference fringes generated by overlap of the first pattern group and the second pattern group, and detecting a change of the interval of the recorded positions via a positional deviation of the interference fringes.
