    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform replacement at proper time without an excessive increase in operation cost resulting from too early replacement nor a component fault as a result of too late replacement as to the remaining life of a replaceable element. SOLUTION: A method for assessing a judgement of the end of life of a high-frequency service item of a document processing system includes accepting cycles of the document processing system as a nominal count; applying at least one weighting factor to the nominal count so as to generate at least one weighted count; monitoring the recovery state of the system; monitoring the recovery state as to a recovery type; generating a recovery count corrected with the recovery type in the recovery state; and summing one or more weighted counts and recovery counts in an auxiliary diagnostic counter.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for assessing an end of the life for high frequency service items in a document processing system. SOLUTION: The method comprises the steps of: accepting a system cycle as a nominal count; applying at least one weighting factor to the nominal count to yield at least one weighted count; and monitoring the system for a recovery condition; providing a recovery count in the event of the recovery condition; and summing the one or more weighted counts and the recovery count into a supplemental diagnostic counter.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate a system down-time of a machine without any unnecessary costs resulting from too early replacement nor too late replacement by using an improved method for accurately judging and monitoring a fatigue characteristics in a complicated system. SOLUTION: The system comprises a stage of increasing a nominal counter by a nominal count by cycles of a document processing system and a stage of generating a weighted count by multiplying the nominal count by at least one weighting factor. Then, a stage of summing the nominal count and weighted count in one or more supplementary diagnostic counters is provided thereafter. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for automatically diagnosing and foreseeing a fault or latent fault of an electronic system. SOLUTION: A diagnostic system 10 includes an electronic system 100 such as a document processing system, which communicates with a remote diagnostic system 300 through a decentralized network 200. The electronic system 100 includes a controller 110, a memory 120, an input/output interface 130, one or more sensors 140, an analog-digital converter 150, and a backup analyzing circuit or routine 160 while interconnecting them by a link 101. The remote diagnostic system 300 includes a controller 310, a memory 320, an input/output interface 330, a diagnostic device or routine 340, and a mark analyzing device or routine 350 while interconnecting them by a link 301.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an assembly method using an intelligent power tool in a manufacturing process to obtain higher efficiency by reducing human-initiated errors during assembly. SOLUTION: This assembly method using the intelligent power tool comprises a step of inserting a fastener into an assembly using the power tool, a step of detecting the signature feature of insertion of the fastener (such as vibration signature = identification characteristic), and a step of evaluating the insertion of the fastener. The assembly process can thereby be automated on the basis of the vibration signature and/or performance parameter of the power tool.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a method for forming high-quality full-color prints in an electrophotographic printing machine and a device therefor. SOLUTION: The controller for printing high-quality full-color prints in the electrophotographic printing machine has a photosensitive belt 20 on which electrostatic latent images are to be recorded and developing units 40, 42, 44 and 46 of developing units having individual toner. This photosensitive belt 20 forms composite multicolor toner images by receiving the plural color toner images from these developing units. The controller has first and second user selection modes at the time of formation of these toner images. Respective separated colors for the composite images are exposed and developed on the same image forming panel of the photosensitive belt 20, there by, the high- quality images free from unevenness are formed in the first selection mode. The respective separated colors for the composite images are exposed and developed on the adjacent succeeding panels of the photosensitive belt 20 in the second selection mode. The productivity of the machine is thereby enhanced.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To calibrate and diagnose the paper path of a machine, such as a printer, in which physical spaces are very precisely defined, which limits viewing things in it. SOLUTION: Through the slots 98 precisely disposed in the frame of the printer along a paper path, the passing of paper is made to be found with scanner bars 99 located within the slots. The scanner bars 99 monitor paper being fed, and checks every irregularity such as skew in each station. Since detail information is included in scanner data, it aids in the specification of the fundamental causes of the relevant vector or skew in the event that a skew is detected. In the case where rudder chart paper is used, information about the speed and motion properties of the paper can be extracted. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
