Granted: 2006-03-29
Abstract: A pair of solid state pressure sensors are disposed near the bottom of a fuel tank vertically spaced with one a unit distance above the other. A third solid state sensor is disposed in the tank at the highest point under the upper wall. The apparent hydrostatic pressure is computed from the difference in pressure sensed by the highest and lowest sensors. The density is computed from the difference in pressure sensed by the pair of sensors near the tank bottom; and, the difference normalized for the vertical distance therebetween. The liquid level height is then computed from computed density and apparent pressure. The reserve volume of liquid fuel is then found for the computed height from a lookup table of values of liquid height and corresponding liquid volume. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to an inorganic resorbable bone substitute material based on calcium phosphates and to a method for producing the same. The material is characterized in that it comprises a loose cyrstal structure, i.e., the crystallites are not tightly connected as in a solid body (ceramic), but they are interconnected via only a few molecular groups. The volume which is occupied by collagen in natural bone is provided in the material as interconnecting pores in the nanometer range. A second pore size, also interconnecting and in the range of a few micrometers, permits collagen fibers to grow inside during tissue formation. These fibers are nucleators for the inserting biomineralization (formation of the endogenous biological apatite). The material contains a third interconnecting pore category which is modeled on the spongiosa and thus ranges from approximately 100 mum to 1000 mum while enablign a vscularization of blood vessels such that the resorption and the bone regeneration not only occurs as the surface of healthy bone but also takes place throughout the entire defect. The high inner surface of the material permits the bonding of endogenous or synthetic growth factors. The invention also realtes to a method for producing such a material which is characterized in that a highly viscous suspension of a sol of one or more oxides of the elemtns X (X=Al, Ca, Mg, P, Si, Ti, Zr) tht is mixed with a crystalline powder is forced through a nozzle or a nozzle system and subsequently formed into any desired shape so that an open porous structure with a size corresponding tot hat of the filament diameters results by packing the fibers from the highly viscous suspension whose viscosity prevents the material from dispersing.

Abstract: A virtual heap for a process executing within a virtual machine is described. In one embodiment, the virtual persistent heap may allow the running of an application on a physical heap that is smaller than may otherwise be required. As an example, the virtual persistent heap may be an order of magnitude larger than the physical, in-memory heap. This feature is important for small consumer and appliance devices, as these devices may have a limited amount of memory. In one embodiment, the virtual heap may be maintained on non-volatile memory storage external to the device running the virtual machine, and portions of the heap for the current execution state of the process may be cached in and out of a "physical" heap resident in local memory on the device. For example, the device may connect to a server on the Internet, and the server may provide non-volatile storage space for the virtual heap. In another embodiment, the external storage for the virtual persistent heap may reside on a non-volatile storage attached to the device, for example, a Flash card or hard disk drive. In one embodiment of the virtual heap, the entire heap for a process may be made persistent. The virtual persistent heap may enable the checkpointing of the state of the computation of a virtual machine, including processes executing within the virtual machine, to a persistent storage such as a disk or flash device for future resumption of the computation from the checkpoint. The Virtual Persistent Heap also may enable the migration of the virtual machine computation states, and thus the migration of executing processes, from one machine to another. The saved state of the virtual machine heap may also provide the ability to restart the virtual machine after a system crash or shutdown to the last saved persistent state, and to restart a process that was running within the virtual machine prior to the system crash or shutdown to a checkpointed state of the process stored in the virtual persistent heap. This persistent feature is important for small consumer and appliance devices, as these appliances may be shutdown and restarted often.

Abstract: A holder is disclosed for a cassette for substrates. The holder includes a base plate on which a guide member provided with at least two guides is secured. The cassette is to be positioned between the guides, which enable the cassette to be aligned with respect to the base plate, and the side of which facing the base plate tapers inwards and downwards. The application of such a holder in an apparatus for manufacturing semiconductor devices is still hampered as a result of incorrectly positioning the holder in the apparatus. This can lead to damage to the substrates and a lower yield of the manufacturing process. The side of the guide member tapers inwards and upwards. By virtue of this structure, the cassette can be positioned more accurately and reproducibly into the holder. In this way, damage to substrates is avoided and the yield is high. The guide member may be mirror symmetrical and can include two separate guide members, which are mirror symmetrical as well. As a result, the holder can be mounted, adjusted and manufactured in a simple and inexpensive manner.

Abstract: A method for delivery of primary media content in digital form is provided. The method includes establishing a communications link between a client computer and a server, where the client computer has storage. The establishing of the communications link includes authorization of user information. The method further includes receiving a request for a media among primary media content accessible to the server. The server associating the request with the user information maintained in a customer database that is accessible to the server. The user information is used to authorize access to specified content from among said primary media content for the user based on the user information in the customer database. The method also determines that the requested media is authorized for use by the user based on the user information. The method then streams the media to the storage of the client computer upon receiving a play request. The media received by streaming is configured for rendering on a display screen. The streaming data is one or more of video data including motion picture content, game data, music data, or combinations of two or more thereof.

Abstract: A printing machine provided allows even unskilled operators to perform ink and water supply control according to the contents of an image. While a reference image to be printed is segmented into a plurality of regions similar in contents, image data is obtained from printed matter and a color difference between the reference image and a print image is calculated. Ink and water (I/W) supplies are determined based on regional color difference data obtained by summing the color differences for each region. At this time, by adding correction of the regional color difference data based on the characteristics of each region and the contents of the image, and correction of the I/W supplies based on external factors and variables, even unskilled operators can perform rapid I/W supply control based on the contents of the image.
