Abstract: A system and method for controlling facsimile communications is disclosed. A facsimile machine contains a plurality of display screens containing step-by step instructions allowing a user to use complex facsimile functions. The facsimile machine contains a phonebook containing information, including facsimile telephone numbers, for a plurality of remote facsimile machines. The facsimile machine can detect the facsimile telephone number and name of a remote facsimile machine sending an incoming facsimile message and store the information about the remote facsimile machine in the phonebook. The facsimile machine can be configured to ignore incoming facsimile messages from remote facsimile machine not listed in the phonebook. Similarly, the facsimile machine can be configured to permit outgoing facsimile messages to be transmitted only to remote facsimile machines listed in the phonebook. The user can display the phonebook on a display and select information associated with a remote facsimile machine, and the facsimile machine will determine the facsimile telephone number from the selected information using the phonebook. The user can also group a set a remote facsimile machine together so that an outgoing facsimile message can be specified as going to any one of the remote facsimile machines in the group, and the facsimile machine will send the outgoing facsimile message to all members of the group.

Abstract: The circuit is for a magnet system of an electromagnetic drive and has a spool or coil (1) with several windings (2,3,4). The windings (2,3,4) are connected to each other via capacitors (5,6) and are connected to the plus (7) and minus terminals (8) of the direct voltage supply. The connections are such that after a d.c. voltage has been applied, parallel charge currents (i1,i2,i3) flow to the terminals to charge the capacitors (5,6), through the windings (2,3,4). The currents contribute to the formation of the magnetic field of the spool (1). Afterwards, part of the previously flowing current (ig) flows through the windings (2,3,4) according to a series circuit. The flow direction in one of the coils (2,3,4) is opposite to that in the others and thus the contribution to the magnetic field is reduced.

Abstract: The temperature control valve has flow directed from inlet (21) to outlet via a butterfly valve plate (13) controlled opening. The plate is supported on an off-centre spindle and is held closed by a wire spring loop that opposes the pressure of the fluid. The valve is opened to control fluid temperature in the cooling system by the action of a temperature sensitive actuator (23). This has a pin (29) that is displaced by the temperature controlled expansion of a wax filled plug (26) and so moves the plate. The valve also opens when the pressure in the system generates a force to overcome that of the spring.

Abstract: A system and method for inspecting ophthalmic lenses. The system includes a transport subsystem for moving the lenses into an inspection position, a light sensor, and an illumination subsystem for generating a light beam and conducting the light beam through the lenses in the inspection position and onto the light sensor to form images of the lenses on the light sensor. The system further includes a data value generator to generate a set of data values for each lens image formed on the light sensor, and a processor for analyzing those data values. Preferably, the processor locates the lens image on the light sensor, tests that image to determine if the lens is badly torn, and determines a model for the outer edge of the lens image. The processor may calculate a decentration value for the lens, and test for any irregularities in the peripheral and center zones of the lens.

Abstract: This invention describes two products both with a plain, fine textured, nonperforated surface visual consisting of a fiberboard substrate with or without a laminated porous nonwoven scrim and then a finished painted surface. The finish painted surface decorates or finishes the board, but most important, must remain acoustically transparent to retain the sound absorption properties of the fiberboard prior to painting. The fiberboard substrate is made to be porous or modified with hole perforations to cause it to be a good sound absorber. If the fiberboard substrate is sufficiently porous without hole perforations, then the sprayable, high solids, porous paint can be directly applied. If hole perforations are used to improve the sound absorption properties of the board substrate, then a porous, nonwoven scrim is attached and painted using the same high solids porous paint. This painted scrim must be sufficiently optically opaque to hide the hole punched board, yet sufficiently open to render it acoustically transparent. The inventions also include the paint coating alone or the paint/scrim coating alone.

Abstract: Random printing techniques for liquid ink printers include forming masks in a random mask buffer (70) having randomly generated ON values which are ANDed by an AND circuit (74) with the information to be printed in a swath buffer (64). The randomness of the masks improves printing quality and reduces printhead signature problems resulting from printhead defects including misdirected or inoperative nozzles or jets. Masks wherein the ON values are generated with a 50% probability require two masks to print each and pixel location. Masks having the ON values generated with a 25% probability require four masks. Partial advance of the recording medium for overlapping adjacent swaths of scanning carriage type printer is possible to further improve printing by reducing printhead signature defects and "banding".
