Abstract: An ink jet printer (1) including an optical detector attached to a carriage (8) on which a head chip is mounted, and one or more detected parts that can be detected by the detector formed on sides of ink cartridges (72,73) placed in an ink cartridge holder (71). Each of the detected parts may be implemented as a right-angle prism. The one or more detected parts are operable to detect the presence or absence of ink and the corresponding ink cartridge being placed, among other features. Since the common optical detector and the one or more detected parts can detect a plurality of pieces of information, the ink jet printer is extremely advantageous for cost reduction and miniaturization as compared with the case where dedicated detection mechanisms are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with pieces of information to be detected as in a related art. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Apparatuses are connected in a tree structure, wherein the branches correspond to bus connections between apparatuses. The apparatus at the root node the tree ultimately arbitrates access to the bus connections. The tree structure is dynamically reorganized by selecting a new root node. Selection of the new root node involves predicting a volume of messages to be sent by each of the apparatuses (preferably by counting the number of messages originating from each apparatus during an observation period). An expected heavy sender apparatus is selected as new root node. Thus, the heavy sender is able to get faster access to arbitration and network resources, reducing jitter in the time points at which messages can be sent by the heavy sender.

Abstract: A contaminant detector including a light source for emitting light of a wavelength with peak emission corresponding to that of "blue" light or to that of light of even lower wavelength. Light is emitted through an arrangement containing a liquid sample having a given contaminant, and a sensing arrangement on the other side of the liquid sample detects the amount of light passing through the liquid sample. The measured light is converted into a value indicative of the relative presence of the given contaminant in the liquid sample. It is contemplated that other types of light can be used, particularly if the color of the light is matched, or even approximately matched, with that portion of the liquid sample that is not to be measured (i.e. the "background" or "non-contaminant" portion of the liquid). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The use of low specific gravity wood from thinning operations, for example, will produce a lower brownstock viscosity for a given kappa number target. A differential of 200-cP falling ball pulp viscosity has been detected from Kraft cooks of low and high specific gravity wood. Using low specific gravity wood can reduce the bleach stage temperature and the chemical dose needed in the bleach plant to produce lyocell pulp specifications. Low specific gravity wood also increases the ability to reduce pulp viscosity to very low levels without increasing the copper number of the pulp or the concentration of carbonyl in the pulp above acceptable levels. <IMAGE>

Differently from the prior art, the step of declaring a concatenation state is performed independently from a previously stored concatenation level. <IMAGE>
