Abstract: A brushless motor includes a stationary member; a rotating member rotatably supported with respect to the stationary member; a stator provided in the stationary member and provided with a stator coil for generating current magnetic field under an exciting state; and a rotor magnet provided in the rotating member for obtaining a revolutionary power due to an electromagnetic mutual effect with the current magnet field of the stator coil. The rotor magnet is formed such that segment-shaped magnets are placed annularly with predetermined gaps circumferentially. The gaps are filled with a magnetic resin material.

Abstract: In a printing system including a plurality of terminal equipment, a plurality of printers which can be shared by the terminal equipment, one or more printer/spooler control servers each for receiving a print from the terminal equipment and for controlling the print by the printer, and a distributed printing management server, for various errors which occur in the printers, the contents of the errors are informed to the user and an error recovery process according to the error is realized. Thus, a use efficiency, performance, reliability, and serviceability as a printing system are improved.

Abstract: There is provided a drive control apparatus for a motor having a drive device for controlling current supplied to an armature coil, a control device for controlling the rotation speed of a rotor, and a mode switch device for comparing a rotation speed signal and a predetermined reference voltage and generating a normal rotation mode signal or a reverse rotation mode signal. Furthermore, the drive control device has the drive device, the control device and a signal delay device. The signal delay device delays the supply of a stop signal from the control device by a predetermined time, and a reverse current is supplied to the armature coil during the delay time.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus comprising rotatable cassettes rotated by cassette rotating means between a longitudinal feeding station from which paper is fed in a longitudinal direction thereof and a lateral feeding station from which paper is fed in a lateral direction thereof, wherein memory means stores a cassette rotation signal, when the cassette rotation signal is entered therein and cassette rotating means is controlled in accordance with the cassette rotation signal stored in the memory means when a cassette rotation permission signal for permitting the rotation of the rotatable cassette is generated, so that the rotatable cassette is set in a predetermined feeding station.The invention also provides an image forming apparatus capable of storing the feeding station of the rotatable cassette in the memory means and rotating the rotatable cassette to the feeding station stored in the memory means when the rotatable cassette is out of both longitudinal feeding station and lateral feeding station.

Abstract: A limited slip differential of this invention is equipped with two centrifugal clutches that are interposed between a differential casing and side gears or pinion gears. The centrifugal clutches provide a direct drive between the casing and the side gears in high speed driving.

Abstract: A suspension mechanism for a wheeled vehicle, comprising a suspension arm having a pair of arm portions aligned with each other in a lateral direction of the vehicle body and pivotally connected to the vehicle body for being rockable about a first axis fixed with respect to the vehicle body and transverse to the vehicle body; a wheel axle which is pivotally connected to the suspension arm and rockable about a second axis fixed with respect to the suspension arm and perpendicular to the first axis and which has a spindle portion having a center axis about which a wheel-and-tire assembly is rotatable; and angle adjusting means engaging the suspension arm and the wheel axle and adapted to permit adjustment of the angular position of the wheel axle with respect to the suspension arm about the second axis.

Abstract: A television signal is encoded by the use of a sampling pulse synchronized with a color subcarrier frequency included in an input television signal, the encoded signal is compressed and recorded in a memory for later reproduction of a desired compressed picture image having a desired size and center position, the recorded signal is reproduced under the control of a clock pulse signal produced in synchronism with a sync signal obtained in a studio, for example, and the reproduced signal is corrected by inverting the polarity of the chroma component according to frame information at the time of recording of said reproduced signal.Thus, it is possible to freely obtain phase coupling of different synchronizing signals; for instance, it is possible to bring the phase of a different television signal of a different synchronization system into coincidence with the phase of a central synchronization signal and it is possible to reproduce an object image optionally compressed on a TV display screen.

Abstract: Chroma-signal processing system is disclosed wherein a color television signal is sampled at a frequency equal to a sub-carrier frequency multiplied by an integer, and chroma-components of the sampled signals are sequentially stored in a plurality of storage means for each of the sample points, and the chroma-signals are retrieved from the storage means while omitting portions of the chroma signals whereby accomplishing the chroma-signal processing with a fewer number of storage means. The system can be used to reduce the size of a displayed color image without introducing phase discontinuities into the chrominance subcarrier. The reduced image may then be inset into another color image displayed on a CRT. The system may also be used to reduce the subcarrier frequency of a chrominance signal.
