Abstract: The input data samples for a fringe field responsive electro-optic line printer are differentially encoded, thereby reducing the number of electrodes such a printer requires to achieve a given resolution by a factor of just less than two. The sample-to-sample voltage drops of the differentially encoded data correspond to the magnitudes of the input samples and, therefore, the fringe fields produced when the encoded samples are applied to the electrodes of such a line printer cause the incident light beam to be spatially modulated in accordance with the input samples.

Abstract: One or more electrodes of an electro-optic device are supported on a separate substrate which is held in close contact with the electro-optic element of the device so that the electric fields that are created when voltages are applied to such electrodes are proximity coupled into the electro-optic element. Proximity coupling is especially advantageous for multi-gate light valves and the like where separate electrical connections have to be made to a multitude of electrodes because it permits those connections to be made remotely from the electro-optic element. However, the broader aspects of proximity coupling are applicable to electro-optic devices in general, including bulk and TIR electro-optic modulators and straight through and TIR multi-gate electro-optic light valves.

Abstract: The book imager (2) includes a support (4), for placement of a book (6) in an open position, an imager (12) having opposed imaging surfaces capable of simultaneously imaging the entire exposed, facing adjacent pages of the book in a distortion preventing manner, and an air jet page turning system. The support and the imager are relatively movable toward and away from one another, from one position in which imaging is effected, to another in which page turning is effected. The air jet page turning system includes a fluffing jet for separating pages, a pick-off jet for separating the topmost page from the fluffed pages, a force applying jet for urging the topmost page into intimate contact with the imaging device and a page turning jet for driving the topmost page to the opposite side of the book.

Abstract: A multi-channel laser ROS scanner for simultaneously scanning laser beam components across multiple lines of a photosensitive surface including appratus for determining deviations in the position of the surface from a desired position due to undesired photosensitive surface velocity variations whereby an error correction signal can be generated, and a TIR modulator having a plurality of interdigitated, addressable drive electrodes. The total number of drive electrodes N, of the TIR modulator is greater than the collective number of drive electrodes N. needed to provide the desired pixel resolution for all of the simultaneously scanned lines. When the photosensitive surface is maintained at a desired velocity, such velocity being determined in a conventional manner by system parameters, the surface is correctly positioned and N. adjacent drive electrodes located generally centrally within the TIR electrode configuration are addressed by the video data signals for the multiple scan lines, causing the laser beam components to exit the TIR modulator with an unshifted or "normal" propagation direction within the optical window of the modulator resulting in scan lines being recorded at desired positions on the photoreceptive surface. Should the photosensitive deviate from its desired position at a given time, the error signal functions to cause N s different adjacent drive electrodes to be addressed .whereby the laser beam components exiting the TIR modulator are shifted in propagation direction such that they strike the photosensitive surface at a placement which corrects for the position deviation.

Abstract: Additional control in a differentially-encoded printer utilizing an electro-optic element is achieved by normalizing or equalizing the strength of the fringe fields. Such normalization is provided by applying analog voltages to the adjacent electrodes in addition to the encoded data sample voltages. Specifically, normalization of the strength of the fringe fields is achieved by characterizing the interaction between each adjacent pair of electrodes by measuring the efficiency amplitude of the fringe field caused by each adjacent pair of electrodes when a test voltage is applied to alternate electrodes and converting efficiency amplitude to an analog voltage for each electrode by a transfer function plotting efficiency amplitude versus voltage, storing the analog voltage for each electrode and adding the analog voltage for each electrode to the data sample voltage for that electrode to provide at the electrodes a full set of voltage differences that will provide normalization of the strength of the fringe fields associated with one complete data scan line.

Abstract: The electrodes of a proximity coupled, multigate electro-optic light valve are formed from or are overcoated with a soft, conformable composition which flows in its solid state to conform to the electro-optic element of the light valve when the electrodes are pressed thereagainst. For example, standard semiconductor fabrication techniques may be utilized to fabricate a suitably patterned set of electrically independent, elongated electrical conductors on a silicon integrated circuit, and those conductors may, in turn, be overcoated with a high dielectric constant, conformable material, such as indium or aluminum.
