Abstract: An ink cartridge for use in printing an ink on a print medium with an electronic printer. The cartridge contains ink having a viscosity of between approximately 1.5 and 10 centipoise, held in an unfelted foam (18) having a multiplicity of pores (20) disposed substantially in communication with each other and having an effective porosity of between approximately 60 and 90 pores per inch. A printhead assembly (16) is disposed in fluid communication with the foam. The foam has an effective porosity, dependent on the viscosity of the ink, whereby ink is allowed to flow from the foam to the printhead assembly during periods of operation, but is substantially prevented from flowing from the printhead assembly during periods of inoperation.

Abstract: The protocol of the invention modifies the standard Universal Asynchronous
Receiver/Transmitter transport to support a data message that is contained in a frame
that is a logical grouping of bytes. In one embodiment, the first byte of each frame
includes a start bit and stop bit, a length of message indication and the parity bits for
the entire message or frame. The other bytes in the frame each include a stop bit, start
bit and eight bits of data. All of the bytes in the frame substitute a framing bit for the
parity bit found in the existing protocol. This embodiment of the invention allows
data messages of varying length with minimum overhead. Alternatively, for messages
having a length of greater than 6 bytes, the first byte of the frame is used to define the
length of frame. The last byte or last two bytes of the frame contain error checking
bits. The remaining bytes of the frame contain payload data. This arrangement allows
messages of virtually any length.

Abstract: A method of treating exhaust gases discharged from
a combustion engine (1) of a marine vessel (2) includes injecting into the
exhaust gases a cloud of water droplets.
The exhaust gases are removed from the engine (1) along a tubular member
(3) and thence discharged to the atmosphere just above the water line
(4) of the vessel (2). The cloud of water droplets is injected through a
plurality of nozzles (5) in the periphery of the tubular member (3).
Because of the high surface area of the water cloud, the exhaust gases
passing along the tubular member (3) are cooled down such that the final
discharge (6) has a sufficiently low temperature to make thermal
detection difficult.

Abstract: A coil assembly for miniature solenoid valves, such as size SAE-6
valves, includes a flux tube 50 which passes through the hollow core 24 of the
coil assembly 28. The flux tube 50 is formed against a shoulder 48 of a
coupling member 40 by using the "Taumel" orbital head forming technique in
which a forming tube orbits around the end of the flux tube 50 to form a flange
60 which bears against the shoulder 48. A flux washer 34 is disposed adjacent
the coil 20 and is held tightly thereagainst by the flux tube 50 to help linearize
magnetic force exerted upon energizing the coil 20. In order to facilitate
stroking the destroking the solenoid valve, the tank ports 120 close slightly
before the pressure ports 124 are opened when stroking and slightly after when
destroking. The coil 20 is designed to saturate the magnetic circuit early to
diminish the effect of coil heating and resultant force loss at a given stroke
displacement.

Abstract: The invention relates to a switch arrangement for a packet-switched telecommunications network. The switch arrangement comprises several input ports and several output ports, a switching fabric (SWN), and an output unit (OUi) between each output port and the switching fabric, said output unit comprising an output buffer (OB) in which outbound packets are stored. In the switch, virtual connections are used for packet switching and serial numbers in packets belonging to each virtual connection are used to identify the relative order of the packets. The output unit (OUi) maintains virtual connection-specific information on the serial number of the currently anticipated packet, and the packets belonging to a given virtual connection are ordered in the correct sequence in accordance with the serial numbers of the packets. To provide a simple and efficient arrangement in terms of hardware configuration, packet data are stored in a separate re-sequencing memory (RST1, RST2) in a memory area that is defined at least on the basis of the serial number of the packet, and by means of the re-sequencing memory, packets are transferred to the output buffer by searching in each case packet data from that memory area of the re-sequencing memory which is defined at least on the basis of the anticipated serial number, whereby when the data of a given packet are found said packet is transferred to the output buffer. When a packet is transferred to the output buffer, the serial number of the anticipated packet is updated.

Abstract: This patent develops on the method of DE19653756, where measurements are taken during individual working cycles to determine the regenerant (fuel) to be injected. In the present development, during such measurement, further parameters influencing delay, are taken into account. Preferred features: One further parameter taken into account is the formation of a wall film of fuel (especially in the inlet manifold). Another is the quantity of stored O2 in a catalyst (23) upstream of the NOx storage unit (16). The controller (19) determines regenerant measurements based on individual engine (1) cycles and a catalyst (23) is employed upstream of the NOx storage unit. Stored oxygen in the catalyst (23) is minimized. The control unit may be used with direct fuel injection into a combustion chamber.

Abstract: Tape recording and playback apparatus (10) including tape head cleaning assembly
(80-92) for intermittent cleaning of one or more tape head(s) mounted in the
periphery (18) of a helical scanning drum (12) forming part of the apparatus (10).
Loading of a cassette (24) carrying the tape, extension of the tape (20) by movable
guides (44,46) into contact with the drum periphery (18), and movement of a pinch
roller (50) are controlled by a motor-driven cam (40) as described in EP0782136-A1.
Instead of also using the prior art cam to control tape tension, this is now done by
dynamic braking of the motor (30) for the tape supply reel (26). In accordance with
the invention, the fourth control function of the prior art cam is now utilised for
selective mechanical actuation of a swinging arm (82) on which is mounted an
abrasive cleaning wheel (80). Rotation of the control cam (40) to its "fourth function"
position allows the arm (82) to pivot and thus brings the abrasive wheel (80) into
temporary contact with the periphery (18) of the helical scanning drum (12) so as to
remove debris clogging the tape head(s). High performance of the data
recording/playback unit (10) is maintained by the inventive adaptation of existing
hardware (40) to effect intermittent operation of a tape head cleaner (80) built-in to
the unit (10).
