Abstract: The present invention provides a low profile stackable Internet appliance printer (10) for
use with a television receiver and monitor (18) and responsive to commands from a remote
device for printing user desired information. The printer (10) has a box like rectangular shaped
housing (19) conforming in size to that of conventional electronic audio video components such
as a cable box (14), a DVD player (16), amplifiers, video tapes and the like to facilitate the
stacking of the printer (10) with other such components. A base member (20) supports in a front
portion of the printer a printbar (22) and associated printhead (39) to provide the user with easy
printhead (39) access. The base member (20) has an open passageway (15) for receiving a
removable combination input/output tray cassette (26). Upon removal of the combination
input/output tray cassette (26), front user access is made available for the purposes of removing a
paper jam should one occur. A channel member (70) mounted to the base member (20) helps
define a paper path from the cassette (26) to a print zone disposed beneath the printhead (39). A
U-shape cutout (71) in the channel member (70) further provides user access to the paper path for
facilitating the removal of paper jams while the printer (10) is in a staked configuration with
other electronic devices.

Abstract: Windmill generator sets, each including a windmill
and a generator driven by the windmill, are installed on
a floating body floating on water. The floating body is
formed as a triangular truss structure. Each side of the
triangle of the floating body is formed by a hollow beam
having a rectangular cross section. The windmill
generator sets are disposed on the floating body at the
respective corners of the triangle. The distance between
the centers of windmills, adjacent to each other, is set
at a value smaller than four times, preferably smaller
than two times, the diameter of the rotors of the
windmills. By setting the distance between the centers
of the windmills at a value smaller than four times of
the rotor diameter, the construction cost of the floating
body can be reduced without any accompanying reduction in
the power generation efficiency of the windmill generator
sets, whereby the unit power generating cost of the plant
can be reduced.

Abstract: In a fastener setting tool (1) having a container (15) for collecting the broken pieces of
fasteners such as blind rivets and lock bolts which are fastened by breaking its
mandrel, to prevent the broken pieces of the mandrels from being entangling to each
other in the collecting container. 
     A fastener setting tool (1) is constructed that the mandrel of a fastener is inserted
into a nose (6) at the front end of the tool; the body of the fastener projected from the
nose is inserted into the mounting hole of a base member such as a panel; under that
condition, the mandrel is pulled enough to break the mandrel to enlarge the shank of
the fastener body to fix the fastener by the enlarged shank portion and a flange of the
fastener body. The tool also includes a broken piece collecting assembly (30) for
collecting, through a path (9) within the tool, the broken pieces (37) of the mandrels,
which are broken by the above pulling operation. The broken piece collecting
assembly comprises a container (15) encircling the outlet port of the path (9) and extending
to elongate the path (9) for collecting the broken pieces (37) as discharged from the path (9); and
a broken piece entangling prevention means disposed in the container (15). The broken
piece entangling prevention means comprises an elongated broken piece receiver
member (31) extending in the container (15) along the axis of the path (9). The broken piece
receiver member (31) is provided with an elongated groove (34) to receive the broken
piece (37) outputted from the path (9) in its existing posture.

Abstract: In a distributed switch architecture, each incoming signal is sliced into a plurality of sub-signals.
A checksum function is applied to subsets of data in each sub-signal to generate and add a
checkbit to the sub-signal for each subset of data. Two copies of the augmented sub-signal are
routed in parallel through redundant portions of the distributed switch fabric. Only one of the
resulting routed sub-signals is selected for use in generating the corresponding outgoing signal,
which is generated by combining data from selected routed sub-signals corresponding to all of the
original sub-signals. Checksum analysis is performed on the two routed sub-signals to determine if
a fault has occurred. If a fault is detected in the routed sub-signal currently being selected for use in
generating the outgoing signal, the selection is changed so that the other routed sub-signal is used.
The checkbits are preferably added to the sub-signals in place of terminated overhead data in the
transmission format of the incoming signal. By appropriate selection of the size of each subset of
data (i.e., if the size is not too small), the number of checkbits added to the sub-signals will not
increase the size of the data routed through the distributed switch fabric relative to the size of the
data in the transmission format of the incoming signal. In addition, an appropriate selection of the
size of each subset of data (i.e., if the size is not too big) ensures that the fault protection scheme of
the present invention will satisfy requirements for errorless switching in which the total detection
time from a single-point failure is kept within 60 nanosec.

Abstract: Reduced calorie fat mimetics comprising fatty acid-esterified alkoxylated polyol
compositions having an average number of oxyalkylene groups per molecule of no more than 5
and from 5 percent to 39 percent primary hydroxyl groups based on the total amount of hydroxyl
groups on the molecule. These reduced calorie fat mimetics are prepared by alkoxylating a polyol
such that the average number of oxyalkylene groups per molecule is no more than 5, and
subsequently esterifying with fatty acids. The reduced calorie fat mimetics can be synthesized to
mimic the properties of the natural fats which are replaced in numerous food products. The fat
mimetics are partially digestible thus obviating undesirable gastrointestinal side effects.

Abstract: The present invention provides a flexible storage bag (20) having an opening (40), a closure system for the opening, and a closure indicator. The closure indicator provides an audibly detectable signal upon closure, and optionally opening, of the closure system. The closure system may provide a seal which is preferably closed by a translatable slider as is known in the art. The translatable slider may intercept protuberances (61) causing the protuberances to produce a snap or clicking sound as the slider passes over the protuberances. Alternatively, the closure indicator may be an adhesive bond which is disrupted by the translation of the slider. The closure indicator is passive, meaning that no additional action beyond the ordinary and commonly accepted movement of the slider is required to produce the audible signal.
