Abstract: Methods and structure for storing log messages (400-410, 900-914) in a tokenized,
international format and for presenting (viewing, printing, etc) (500-508, 600-608) the
tokenized log message in a locally preferred native language. Log messages from a
computing system (204) or application (202) are stored in an international tokenized
format (206-210) which remains constant regardless of the particular nation in which
the system or application is operated. The tokenized format includes a message ID
field which identifies a unique message and includes parameters values which are to
replace variable portions, if any, of the identified message. A plurality of localized
message catalog files (302, 304) are available to retrieve a localized native language
string which corresponds to each tokenized message. The message ID field serves as
an index to the localized catalog files. A viewer program (300) then retrieves a
localized text string message from a selected message catalog file (302, 304) replacing
any variable portions identified therein with parameter values supplied in the tokenized
message. The formatted, localized native language message is then presented (e.g.,
displayed, printed, etc. 308) to the requesting user in their preferred local native
language. The present invention thereby enables users having a first preferred
language (e.g., 100-104) to review or otherwise process logged messages generated
by a system or application operable in an environment having a second preferred
language (e.g., 110-114). The present invention also simplifies parsing problems
relating to automated analysis and post-processing of logged messages. The
tokenized international format of the present invention remains constant regardless of
the preferred local language of the system or application which generated the
message.

Abstract: A quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) transmission system amplifies a 480MHz
intermediate frequency (IF) signal in an IF amplifier 1 and subsequently mixes it in
two paths with quadrature 480 MHz signals from a local oscillator 4 using mixers
2, 3, by way of a phase splitter 5. Base-band signals in an in-phase (I) path and a
quadrature-phase (Q) path from the outputs of the respective mixers 2 and 3 are
applied to a dual analogue-to-digital convertor arrangement 8 by way of respective
amplifiers 6 and 7. From here, a processor 9 demodulates and error checks received
data and generates a reference signal of a frequency controlled by a digitally
implemented Costas loop 10 in dependence upon the digitised I and Q signals. The
reference signal is at about 80MHz. The Costas loop 10 effectively multiplies the I
and Q signals, and the error output of this multiplier is used to tune the reference
signal frequency so as to reduce the error. The process also corrects for phase errors,
so that the reference signal is aligned both in frequency and in phase. This reference
frequency signal is then fed back to control the frequency of the local oscillator 4 by
means of a secondary phase locked loop 11.

x2 of crane upper structure displacement by the crane upper
structure displacement detector 16, and for correcting the
measured value xl of suspended load displacement based on the
difference between the measured value xl of suspended load
displacement and the measured value x2 of crane upper structure
displacement. Thus, the vibrational component of the crane
upper structure can be eliminated from the measured value of
swing of the suspended load, whereby the swing component of
the suspended load can be detected highly accurately.

Abstract: Images of certain features of a copier (1) itself -
indicia (16), operational components (13,17) - are
searched for (33), in a defined field of view (14,15) used
for copying. Any such images found, because they are not
covered by a document being copied, are suppressed (34).
Things in the field of view are imaged, and the image is
parsed for the certain features by a software or firmware
module or ASIC stage (31), incorporated into already-existing
software, firmware or circuitry. The copier
features include document-size indicia (16), to aid
determination by the copier whether a standard-size
document is being copied, and thus whether suppression
(34) is in order. The search may be for operational
machine features (13,17) rather than special indicia (16).
Suppression may be of all machine features (13,16,17) if
the "certain" features (e.g. 16) are found. The copying of
shadows at edges of a document is also suppressed (36). In
finding of document edges (35), it is desirable to ignore
(37) all machine features. Preferably photosensors (21)
acquire image data from a document, and a print stage (27)
prints (32) an image using the data. A feeder (4,13)
positions documents at the sensors. If the feeder is
attached to the copier but not in service, data are
analyzed automatically (31) to find whether the document
is below a particular standard size; and, if so, in
response printing of data portions is suppressed
automatically.
