Patent EP-0679600-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DOERNER STEFAN
IPC: B65H75/36
Filed: 1995-04-26
Abstract: A recess (7) forming a flat cylindrical cavity, accepts the flexible connecting lead (6) of the appliance. Its depth, t, is less than twice the diameter, d, of the cable. The lead is pulled out through an approximately central opening (10), on the flat side of the recess (7). A tapered guide bulge (11) within the recess projects towards, and is offset slightly from, the opening (10). This offset, v, is approximately one half of the cable diameter. The cable is said to spiral itself within the casing, filling the outer diameters first, when pushed in through the hole (10), and to pull out in the reverse manner. The layout is very simple, and stowing is carried out by hand, although it is suggested that driven rollers could be applied to produce a powered model. Within the recess (7) the lead passes the small edge region (13') and enters the base opening (23) via the labyrinthine path, continuing through into the appliance proper. The offset is to one side of the small region (13'). When built-in, the open recess is covered flush by one of the casing walls (1) of the appliance. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A line printer having a hammerbank with hammers that are held by a permanent magnet and released by electrically driven coils. The temperature of the coils is determined by the relative resistance of the coils to provide an output equivalent to the temperature of said coils. The resistance is determined as a function of the current through the coils or voltage of the coils which is converted from an analog to a digital value. 
     The attendant method of determining temperature of the coils in the hammerbank is by comparing a pre-established current or voltage value based upon a pre-established temperature of the coil with the current passing through the coil during operation of the hammerbank. The comparison of the current passing through the coil during operation with the pre-established current is provided to a controller for controlling the printer in response to the current differential between the currents which is in turn a function of the operating temperature.

Abstract: A multimedia server system includes a disk array subsystem including a plurality of
multimedia files, e.g., movies, a media file system manager for managing the storage of the
plurality of multimedia files within the disk array subsystem, and a playlist which includes a list
of titles of specific multimedia files to be played at designated times. The multimedia server
system advantageously includes synchronization parameters associated with each of titles
specified by the playlist. The synchronization parameters are programmed to specify the manner
in which particular files should be truncated in order to compensate for admission delays. An
admission delay synchronization unit receives the synchronization parameters and truncates the
multimedia files as specified by the synchronization parameters. In one implementation, a first
synchronization parameter is used to specify that the current file should be truncated at the time
for the play of the next file. A second synchronization parameter specifies that up to a given
amount of time should be sacrificed at the beginning of the next file to account for the admission
delay of the current file. In this manner, the beginning of the next file is truncated. Still a third
synchronization parameter is provided to specify an amount of time up to which the current file
will be truncated at it's end to account for it's admission delay. As a result, the truncated file can
be played in a shorter amount of time than the scheduled duration, and the "excess time" created is
available to absorb any admission delay.
