Abstract: A motor control system includes a first MCU and a second MCU. The first MCU includes an error detection unit, a resolver digital converter, and a first PWM generation unit. The resolver digital converter includes an encoder unit, which generates encoder pulses based on angle information and outputs the encoder pulses to the second MCU. The error detection unit outputs an error signal to the second MCU, when an error is detected in the first MCU. The first MCU controls the resolver digital converter to operate using a backup clock supplied from the second MCU.

According to this method, an autoantibody from patients with antiphospholipid syndrome can be accurately assayed in a simple manner.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for processing color images wherein a black ink having a low infiltrate rate and color inks having a high infiltration rate are used for color printing are described. In the method and apparatus, part of black image data is converted into image data for other colors so that part of a portion to be printed with black ink droplets is printed with color ink droplets. Alternatively, part of the portion may be printed with black ink dots and other color dots being superposed. By this, bleeding between black and other color inks can be suppressed with the resultant image being a black density and sharp edge when printed on ordinary paper.
