Abstract: A method for managing a plurality of print jobs, including a step of creating, in memory, a package, the package including a first reference (286a) and a second reference (286b) with a first print job being operatively linked with the package by way of the first reference and a second print job being operatively linked with the package by way of the second reference. The method further includes programming the first print job with a first set of instructions and the second print job with a second set of instructions, the first set of instructions including a finishing instruction. In response to the creating and programming steps, a collated print set of the package is produced. The collated package print set includes a finished print set of the first print job, produced in accordance with the first set of instructions and a print set of the second print job, produced in accordance with the second set of instructions.

Abstract: A method of determining which of plural protocols are active on a computerized local area network. Each of plural frame types are registered with a link support layer (LSL) which monitors network communications for broadcast frame packets. A frame packet which matches a first one of the frame types is provided from LSL, and protocol header information in the received frame packet is decoded so as to determine protocol used in the frame packet. The first frame type is de-registered from LSL, a first protocol stack corresponding to the determined protocol is initialized using the first frame type, the first protocol stack is loaded, and the first protocol stack registers itself with LSL so that the first protocol stack receives future frame packets which match the first frame type. Thereafter, if LSL encounters any other frame types, the above processing is repeated so as to load and register any other needed protocol stacks.

Abstract: The method described enables a high accuracy of motion measurement to be achieved with simple circuitry and overcomes some of the most important sources of error introduced in other systems. 
     Many of the previous techniques may be extended by using a hierarchical technique to improve the accuracy or resolution of a simple estimator e.g. hierarchical block matching or successive approximate gradient systems. The invention described in this patent introduces novel techniques of weighted-sample area matching, effectively giving soft boundaries to the picture areas used to assess motion within a picture, and/or with a technique of adjusting the picture resolution between successive stages of motion measurement. The combination of these techniques reduces many of the limitations of previous techniques.

Abstract: Process for removing impurities, esp. fluorine cpds., from non-combustible waste gases in a combustion chamber has a burner gas flame which heats and/or chemically reacts the impurities and a unit for treating the hot gas stream from the burner gas flame. The process is novel in that a body or material which lets the hot gas stream through and which has a large internal surface is arranged in the hot gas flow inside the combustion chamber and heat-insulated from the combustion chamber casing and in this way is heated to above 500 degrees C, pref. 700-1400 degrees C. The gas passes through this body or material and contacts the inside surfaces of the same. The body or material is made of a material or material mixt. which forms volatile cpds. and/or causes additional activation and/or is catalytically active with one of the primary impurity and/or the secondary substance of the combustion. The hot gas stream leaving the body or material passes into a single or multi-stage unit at the exit of t he combustion chamber for further treatment and then after cleaning is passed into the exhaust air. Also claimed is the appts. for carrying out the above process having a burner gas flame (7) novel in that a large grain granulate, a sintered body or a number of sintered bodies, for example, in the form of a ring or, or in the case when silicon dioxide is used, also fused tubes are included.

Abstract: In an expert system of an operating system e.g. an industrial plant it is desired to input data in the form of relationships between operating parameters of the system to a database (26). However, if such data are input by inexperienced users, there is the possibility of incorrect data being input. Therefore, a memory (24) stores a plurality of fundamental rules, each being a predetermined relationship between the operating parameters. Then when a datum is input, the fundamental rule(s) corresponding to the operating parameters of the datum are investigated, and the datum is transmitted to thee database (26) when each such corresponding fundamental rule is satisfied. In a further development, any datum for which the operating parameters have no fundamental rule may be input to the database (26) only by a trained user.

Abstract: A method of operating a telecommunications network to provide network-based messaging services includes utilizing a communication link between the network and a telephone adjunct interface. The adjunct interface detects and alerts the subscriber to the existence of waiting messages. In accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the invention, a combination of AC ring detection and outcall polling of the network is employed to determine whether any messages have been received by the network service platform. Specifically, if the subscriber phone is not answered after a predetermined number of rings, the interface polls the network after a suitable delay to determine if any messages were left. If so, the network transmits a code or other signal that is recognized by the interface device, and a visual and/or audible indication is then provided to the subscriber. If the subscriber line is busy or on call-forward while a calling party is seeking to leave a message, the network service platform stores the message and waits a selected interval before seeking to alert the subscriber.

Abstract: A target article is photographed using a slight light to obtain positive and negative images P and N of the article. Then, two difference images P-N and N-P are produced and the larger difference image, P-N or N-P, is selected. The larger one undergoes a smoothing operation and 2 to 3 bits is subtracted therefrom to provide a threshold image. The difference image P-N is compared with the threshold image and "1" and "0" are assigned to the difference image based on comparison. Specifically, "1" is assigned to a pixel of the difference image if the pixel is brighter than a corresponding pixel of the threshold image "0" is assigned to the pixel if it is darker than the threshold image. A space code image is accordingly obtained.

Abstract: The circuit includes an adder, first filter (FF(NN)) and first filter unit(Kn,DFE(NN))in series. A data stream (rn(T)) is fed to the series circuit via a data line. A correction signal is fed to the adder. The correction signal is formed from data streams transmitted near the data line, over other data lines. The filter (FF(NN)) may be arranged in front of, or after, the adder. The filter is an adaptive filter which eliminates the preamble of the pulse response of the data channel (NKn). The correction signal may be formed by another filter which provides the remote cross-talk pulse response of the other data streams at its input. The filter unit (FE1) may include a differentiator and a third filter in a feedback loop with the differentiator. The third filter may also be an adaptive filter which eliminates chasing of the pulse response of the cross-talk of the other data streams. A fifth filter may also be provided. Its input is connected to the output of a further first filter unit. The output signal of the fourth filter is fed to the input of the first filter unit. The adder receives the output signal of the fifth filter.
