An image sensor comprising a plurality of pixels arranged in at least two sub-arrays; first and second delay areas respectively connected to each sub-array for respectively receiving charge from the sub-array; wherein a pitch of the first delay area is different from the second delay area and at least two readout mechanisms for respectively receiving the charge from the delay areas, wherein a same line from the first and second sub-arrays is received by each delay area at substantially the same …

A scanner has a transport system for transporting a document along a transport path for scanning by at least a first camera. A first removable image guide is disposed between the first camera and a first side of the document. The first removable image guide has a first manifold with a first patter of holes for applying a first level of air pressure or vacuum to the document. Replacement of the first removable image guide with an upgrade removable image guide provides an alternate manifold with a…

An image sensor includes a substrate having a plurality of photosensitive sites for capturing an image and a plurality of additional photosensitive sites adjacent the image capturing photosensitive sites in which there is no image capture; and a digital signal embedded in one or more of the additional photosensitive sites for the purpose of identification.

Disclosed is a process for the preparation of monochlorohydroquinone by treating hydroquinone in hydrochloric acid with chlorine at 100.degree. to 105.degree. C.

A CMOS image sensor includes a plurality of pixels arranged in an array; a plurality of sample and hold arrays; and a routing matrix which routes a signal from each pixel to one of the sample and hold arrays in a predetermined order.

An image sensor includes a substrate having photosensitive areas; an insulator spanning at least a portion of the substrate; and a first and second layer of a multi-layer metallization structure, wherein the first layer forms light shield regions over selected portions of the photosensitive area as well forming circuit interconnections and barrier regions to prevent spiking into the substrate or gates at contacts in the non-imaging area; and the second layer spanning the interconnections and bar…

The turbulence of the air moved through an inkjet print head enclosure is reduced before reaching the printing region between the print head and a print medium by positioning a HEPA filtration system between an air inlet opening in the enclosure and the print head. Turbulence is removed from air moved through the air path by HEPA filtration of the air being drawn into the print head enclosure before reaching the printing region.

An image sensor includes a plurality of photosensitive sites; a plurality of asymmetrical-shaped microlenses positioned spanning the photosensitive sites; wherein incoming light is directed in a predetermined direction by an asymmetrical surface of the asymmetrical-shaped microlenses onto the photosensitive sites for capturing the light in a substantially uniform manner.

An apparatus for enabling the uniform application of a layer of a coating composition to a tubular substrate includes a shaft, and upper and lower circular rim members of equal diameter that are concentrically attached to the shaft. A pneumatically inflatable tube disposed on each circular rim member has an outer diameter that is variable with changes in its internal pressure. A first flexible cylindrical sheet in contact with the inflatable tubes has parallel edges that form a first slit suffic…

A method for encapsulating an area on a substrate comprising the steps of a) providing a substrate having an area on a surface thereof which is to be encapsulated, b) providing an assembly fixture which has features formed into the surface of the fixture, and vacuum orifices associated with the features of the fixture, c) positioning a substantially flat formable sheet onto the assembly fixture, and forming the sheet to the features of the assembly fixture by applying a negative pressure through…
