Patent number: 6243548Abstract: A method for controlling an imaging apparatus based on an intelligent usage tracking system is provided. The method monitors use of the imaging apparatus over a period of time and uses the collected data to predict future use. The collected data is used to control the imaging apparatus to minimize warm-up delays and to maximize time in one or more standby modes.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 1999Date of Patent: June 5, 2001Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: James A. Hebert, James D. Rise, Jack E. Fanning, Kevin J. Mills, William D. Anderson

Patent number: 5034994Abstract: A balanced mixer and output filter for television receivers and the like is presented. The mixer is followed by a fairly selective bandpass filter to protect the IF amplifiers from first and second adjacent channel signals.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 1989Date of Patent: July 23, 1991Assignee: RCA Licensing CorporationInventors: Max W. Muterspaugh, William D. Anderson

Patent number: 4996599Abstract: The present invention concerns apparatus for changing the effective tuning inductance with a change of frequency of a multi-band oscillator, said frequency being controlled in response to the magnitude of a tuning voltage for tuned signal amplifiers so that three point tuning can be achieved in the lowest frequency band between the signal amplifiers and the oscillator. In accord with the present invention, a reactance network is connected in series with the tuning inductor of the lowest band for tailoring the tracking of the oscillator frequency with change of tuning voltage.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 1989Date of Patent: February 26, 1991Assignee: RCA Licensing CorporationInventor: William D. Anderson

Patent number: 4905306Abstract: In a tunable filter including first and second inductors, a varactor diode, and a bandswitching diode connected intermediate the inductors to select the inductor configuration for first and second tuning bands, a capacitor is connected in parallel with the bandswitching diode. When the bandswitching diode is in the high impedance "non-conducting" state, the capacitor is functionally connected with other elements of the tunable filter for purposes such as trapping or tracking. When the bandswitching diode is in the low impedance "non-conducting" state, the capacitance is functionally disconnected from the tunable circuit.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 1988Date of Patent: February 27, 1990Assignee: RCA Licensing CorporationInventor: William D. Anderson

Patent number: 4571620Abstract: A digital peaking circuit for processing digital luminance signal in a video processing system combines parallel paths of delay elements and summing circuits to produce the desired luminance response curve with minimum hardware. Only one scaling circuit is required to achieve the desired frequency response characteristic and one multiplier is included to render the peaking circuit adaptive.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 1983Date of Patent: February 18, 1986Assignee: RCA CorporationInventor: William D. Anderson
