Patent EP-0618076-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SHIOYA MAKOTO C O CANON K K
IPC: B41J2/21
Filed: 1994-03-30
Abstract: In the case that one pixel is recorded with a maximum number of three dots, each dot is recorded by performing different scanning operations (a first scanning operation and a second scanning operation). At this time, the recording paper is conveyed in the forward direction for a certain period of time between the first scanning operation and the second scanning operation, causing ink to be ejected from different ejection orifices during each scanning operation. With respect to the assignment for allowing each dot to be recorded on the recording paper during which scanning operation, a first scanning operation is assigned to a third dot without fail (C and D). Thus, the number of dots to be recorded during the first preceding scanning operation is larger than the number of dots to be recorded during the subsequent scanning operation.

Abstract: A peripheral data storage subsystem has means for responding to a MOUNT command received from a host processor to create and mount a host-processor-addressable logical data-storage volume. Such logical data-storage volume has a serial number VOLSER indicated in the MOUNT command. The logical data volume is assigned a predetermined area of a physical data volume, such area being termed a partition. The illustrated embodiment shows a tape subsystem in which the partitions are accessed by a control using a reel tachometer that identifies segments of the tape. Each partition has a number of the tape segments. Controls and methods are described for initializing the subsystem for effecting the automatic volume creation, appending data into a logical volume, how logical volumes are made to be portable, moving logical volumes amongst diverse physical media, tape formats usable for such logical volumes, data base control of the logical volumes and volume creation processing. The physical volume in which one or more logical volumes reside is not host-processor addressable. Some physical volumes are ejectable from the data storage subsystem. The physical volumes storing the logical volumes are not ejectable. To eject a logical volume, it is copied from the storing physical volume to an ejectable physical volume.

Abstract: Surface and near surface hardened medical implants are provided. These implants are fabricated from titanium alloys that contain an amount of zirconium sufficient to permit the formation of a significant amount of zirconium oxide at the surface of the implant to cause surface hardening. Further, the zirconium-containing titanium alloy implants are characterized in having an alloy core with an oxygen-rich layer surrounding the core, and a surface layer, overlying the oxygen-rich layer, including mixed oxides of the metals present in the alloy. A zirconium-rich interface may sometimes be present between the oxygen-rich layer and the mixed-oxide surface layer. The method of producing these surface hardened implants includes the steps of heating the implant in an oxygen containing environment at a temperature sufficient to allow oxygen to diffuse to and react with the implant surface and near surface.

Abstract: Dissipation of the heat produced by the operation of electronic circuitry may be improved by a heat sink which comprises a flat base from which a number of vertical fins extend. The fins are parallel to one another and define a number of parallel channels into which coolant flow is directed. The thermal resistance of the heat sink is optimized by setting fin thickness and channel width parameters to appropriate values. The heat sink may be attached in a heat conductive manner to a heat producing electronic component. One or more of these heat sinked components may be laid out in an in-line or staggered arrangement on a support in the form of a circuit pack. Cooling fluid is delivered to the circuit pack in a variety of ways to cool the heat sinked components. A method of determining the optimum fin thickness and channel width parameters involves determining a relationship between total thermal resistance of the heat sink and combinations of fin thickness and channel width parameters. A contour plot is produced in accordance with the relationship referred to above. The contour plot shows regions of optimum heat dissipation for heat sinks in accordance with the geometry identified here.

Abstract: Amorphous tungsten, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum, iron and alloys thereof can be formed by reducing metal-containing compositions to form the elemental metal wherein the particle size of the elemental metal is less than about 80 microns. This is oxidized in an oxygen-starved environment containing less than 3% oxygen and an inert gas to slowly oxidize the elemental metal. By oxidizing the metal under these conditions, the normal exotherm occurring during oxidation is avoided. The slow oxidation of the metal continues forming an amorphous metal oxide. The amorphous metal oxide can then be reacted in a reducing environment such as hydrogen to form the amorphous elemental metal. This amorphous elemental metal can then be reacted with a carburizing gas to form the carbide or ammonia gas to form the nitride or hexamethylsilane to form the silicide. This permits gas/solid reactions. The amorphous metal can also be used in a variety of different applications.

IPC: A23C19/06
Filed: 1996-11-28
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for making a particulate natural cheese suitable for preparation of processed cheese, as well as for use as a natural cheese, such as a snack food and shreds for cheese toppings. In the method, a milk coagulum is provided. The coagulum is cut to provide particulate cheese curds and whey. The cheese curd is cooked while undergoing agitation. Thereafter, whey is drained from the cheese curd while the cheese curd is continuously agitated. The cheese curd is then cooled or dried sufficiently to maintain the cheese curd as separate particles. Agitation may be used during or immediately after the cooling or drying step to insure separation of the cheese particles. The cheese particles formed may form friable lumps but do not knit during storage. The cheese particles are then packed into relatively large containers holding from about 1,000 to about 2,500 pounds (about 453.59 to about 1133.98 kg) of cheese curd or may be bulk packed in rail cars or trucks. The containers are preferably bulk bags with a liner of plastic or other disposable material. The liners are gas flushed before and during filling to reduce the oxygen content and inhibit mold growth. The liners may be disposed of after use in transporting the cheese curd to a final destination. The bulk bags are reusable with fresh liners. 
     In an alternate embodiment, the cheese curd is drained without agitation to provide a cheese mat. The cheese mat is milled into cheese pieces prior to the cooling step.
