Patent EP-1262910-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CHAPMAN WILLIAM L
IPC: G06K15/12
Filed: 2002-05-23
Abstract: Device for improving the linearity of elements in a print head by use of coarse electronic adjustment for new arrangement of electronic data in pixel lines and final use of the fine electronic adjustment to reduce curvature errors to a fraction of a pixel line. The electronic fine adjustment uses control signals to delay illumination, so that linearity can be corrected to a fraction of a pixel. The delays can be repeated with their multiplication resulting in higher linear resolution. An Independent claim is made for a method for improving the linearity of elements in a print head.

Abstract: Parallel paths for damping fluid are provided through the piston
of a suspension damper, each of which are provided with separate damping
valving sets to control damping. Communication through one of the paths is
controlled by a movable control valve member, which is controlled by a
magnetostrictive element which deforms in response to application of a
magnetic field. The control valve member is moved between active and
inactive positions in response to changes in a magnetic field applied by a coil
mounted within the damper piston. In one position, all communication of
damping fluid is through one of the damping valve sets, while in the other
positon damping fluid communicates through both valve sets. Accordingly,
damping levels may be varied by controlling the magnetic field.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus and
a process which is low-cost, simple to use, reliable and
long-lived and will effectively monitor the moisture
condition of a volume of soil. In accordance with the
invention, a light transmitting rod is placed into the soil
so that its lower end is within the soil and its upper end
is visible from outside the soil volume. The lower end of
the rod is beveled to reflect light entering the rod from
its upper end back toward the upper end. 
     In accordance with the method of the present
invention, observance of the presence or absence of light
at the upper end of the rod determines the moisture content
of the soil. That is, the presence of light confirms that
the soil is dry, whereas the absence of light (a dark end)
confirms that the soil is moist. In accordance with the
apparatus of the present invention, the rod is placed into
the soil and a light sensor is placed adjacent to or on the
upper end of the rod to control a pump or valve for
providing water to the soil.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé pour la production d'échantillons à partir d'une matière principalement pulvérulente et sèche, notamment de résidus de combustion pulvérulents tels que de la cendre de filtre ou de la cendre volante, afin de déterminer la teneur en carbone résiduel par détermination de la variation de paramètres électriques d'un composant électrique complexe qui contient les échantillons produits à examiner. L'invention vise à résoudre le problème technique qui consiste à obtenir simplement, à partir d'une matière pulvérulente et sèche telle que de la cendre de filtre ou de la centre volante ayant un comportement d'écoulement extrêmement mauvais, des échantillons appropriés permettant de déterminer la teneur en carbone résiduel avec une grande précision selon la méthode décrite. A cet effet, la centre volante est acheminée au moyen d'un transporteur à vis (2) dans le composant électrique complexe (3) et est comprimée jusqu'à ce qu'apparaisse un accroissement significatif brusque de la force de compression. On a constaté que, lors de la compression de cendre volante, il se produit un accroissement brusque de la force de compression de plus de 200 % lorsqu'on atteint un degré de compression reproductible défini, et ce sans qu'une nouvelle augmentation du degré de compression ne se produise. On peut ainsi facilement produire des échantillons présentant des conditions de compression définies, qui permettent donc une détermination suffisamment précise de la teneur en carbone résiduel.

Abstract: Content of multiple digital bit streams with essentially the same renderable content, and situated at mutually remote locations, are played back in unison. First, time is synchronized among the processors that participate in a synchronized viewing session by playing back respective streams. Second, the playbacks are content-wise aligned, by rewinding or fast forwarding, to effect overall a precisely synchronized presentation. The content-wise alignment is achieved by means of a status message between processors that contains information characteristic of the sender's bit stream. If any participant, performs a control function (e.g. rewind, fast forward, stop), all other participants follow synchronously. The processor that initiates the session is deemed the initiator, a role that is thereafter assumed by the participant that has last performed a control function. The initiator directs all participants, at session startup, upon execution of each control function, and periodically, to synchronize their playbacks to that of the initiator, whereby all playbacks are synchronized and maintain in synchronization.

Voltage is applied between the movable electrodes 7 and 8, the movable electrode 7 is pressed against the line 3 through a dielectric film 10. Thus, high frequency signals conducting through the line 3 are shut off. When voltage is applied between the electrodes 12 and 14, the movable electrode 7 and the dielectric film 10 are moved apart from the line 3. Thus, high frequency signals can be conducted through the line 3. Therefore, malfunction of the variable capacitance type switch 1 can be prevented even when the movable electrode 7 is unexpectedly displaced by vibration, impact and so on.
