Abstract: An ink cartridge (9) for supplying ink to a recording head (6) is detachably mounted on a cartridge holder (8). A calculator (72) performs calculation of an ink amount consumed by the recording head (6). A counter (80) updates a residual ink amount in the mounted ink cartridge (9) based on the consumed ink amount calculated by the calculator (77). A monitor monitors an ink amount contained in the mounted ink cartridge to judge at least an ink-end state in which the ink amount in the ink cartridge is a predetermined amount or less. A corrector (84) corrects the way of calculation in the calculator based on the residual ink amount indicated by the counter, when the monitor judges that the mounted ink cartridge is in the ink-end state. <IMAGE>

Abstract: For radio transmission on the downlink the transmit power must be calculated also for that signals which shall be sent on the common physical channel, known as secondary common control physical channel (SCCPCH), in the Frequency Division Duplex mode of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System. In the case where no data is transmitted in a SCCPCH frame, the transmit power level is not defined for SCCPCH data bits. Therefore the well-known adaptation of the TFCI and Pilot powers cannot be applied. <??>The solution proposed here is to set or change the transmit indicator power of the TFCI indicator bits in dependence from a virtual reference power which is calculated from parameters comprising first power values preferably defined by the radio network controller (CRNC) or comprising second power values representing an average of that transmit powers which have been used to transmit that data within at least two of the preceding frames. The virtual reference power can also be a fixed power value which is signalled by the radio network controller or which is a hard-coded value stored in the base station. An advantage of is that the TFCI and the Pilot powers can both be calculated very easily by adapting them to the virtual reference power in the same manner as this is done in the normal case with respect to the data bit power. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Arranged upstream of each swirl-stabilized premix burner ( 1 ) of a burner system there is respectively an adjustable distributing device ( 5 ) with control valves (V<SUB>1</SUB>, . . . , V<SUB>8</SUB>) and/or on/off valves (V''<SUB>1</SUB>, . . . , V''<SUB>16</SUB>), by means of which various axial mass flow distributions of the fuel introduced can be set. Preferably, those which have particularly favorable values with respect to characteristics such as NO<SUB>x </SUB>emission and maximum amplitudes of pulsations occurring are chosen. For this purpose, Pareto solutions are determined with respect to the said characteristics, in that a distributing device ( 5 ) is represented by a tree structure with distributing parameters, and values for the distributing parameters on the basis of which the distributing device ( 5 ) is set by means of a control unit are iteratively generated in a data-processing system by an evolutionary algorithm. On the basis of the values determined by a measuring unit, solutions which are especially favorable with respect to the characteristics mentioned, especially Pareto-optimal, are selected. The distributing devices are then set during operation on the basis of the solutions of this type corresponding to respective requirements.
