Title: A method for calibrating a printer
IPC: B41J11/46
Filed: 1991-01-25
Abstract: A method for calibrating a printer (10) to 
print data beginning at a specified distance from the 
reference edge (14a) of a document (14). Several test 
documents are moved through a printer and a test 
symbol (12a) is printed on each of them with a 
preselected set of heating elements (62) from a dot 
matrix thermal print member (56). The test documents 
(12a) are then processed through the same printer 
whereupon a sensor (64) detects the reference edge 
(14a) of the document (14) and the test symbol (12a). 
A master controller (66) then determines a test symbol 
distance between the reference edge and the midpoint 
of the test symbol for each test document. In order to 
calibrate the printer to account for the calibration 
distance so that the printer prints data beginning at 
substantially the specified distance from the 
reference edge of the document, the master controller 
(66) utilizes a stepping motor (22) to make coarse 
calibration adjustments by advancing the document in 
full and/or half steps. Fine calibration adjustments 
are made by selectively energizing heating elements 
(62) of the thermal print member (56).

Title: Computer system which overrides write protection status during execution in system management mode.
Inventor: THOME GARY W
IPC: G06F13/16
Filed: 1994-03-22
Abstract: A memory controller which makes maximum use of any processor pipelining and runs a large number of cycles concurrently. The memory controller can utilize different speed memory devices at their desired optimal speeds. The functions are performed by a plurality of simple, interdependent state machines, each responsible for one small portion of the overall operation. As each state machine reaches has completed its function, it notifies a related state machine that it can now proceed and proceeds to wait for its next start or proceed indication. The next state machine operates in a similar fashion. The state machines responsible for the earlier portions of a cycle have started their tasks on the next cycle before the state machines responsible for the later portions of the cycle have completed their tasks. The memory controller is logically organized as three main blocks, a front end block, a memory block and a host block, each being responsible for interactions with its related bus and components and interacting with the various other blocks for handshaking. The memory controller operates in system management mode to override any write protect status of memory so that the SMRAM can be located in the main memory space and be write protected during normal operations but be full usable during system management mode. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In the field of fluid power control systems, it is known to provide open
centre control valves in a tandem or cascade relationship, whereby to
minimise the number of pumps in an installation. However, this
arrangement has the disadvantage of preventing some functions controlled
by the control system from operating simultaneously, since the tandem or
cascade connections inherently assign an order of priority of supply of
fluid to different actuators. 
     The disclosure relates to a fluid power control system for use in eg. a
mini-excavator, in which a first control section (S2) includes first and
second control valves respectively connectable to first (2) and second (4)
implement functions; and in tandem with one another. A first source of
working fluid under pressure, eg. a gear pump (P2) supplies the actuator
connected principally to the first implement (2); and a second source of
working fluid under pressure (gear pump P3) supplies working fluid to the
interconnection between the first and second control valves. 
     The advantage of this arrangement is that, as the first control valve
switches from its neutral position to a position selecting its associated
implement (2), progressively more of the fluid passing through the second
control valve is supplied by the second source (P3) until, when the
implement (2) to which the first control valve is principally connected is
fully selected, the two implements (2,4) are supplied separately by the
respective gear pumps (P2,P3).

Abstract: The device transfers sheets between first and second cylinders (1,2) which have rotary drives, and which each work together with a grab in the form of pincers, which have a controlled, pivoting, strip-like jaw (5) which works together with a fixed jaw on the associated cylinder. The grab also has a controlled blade, which pushes a sheet into the open grab of the other cylinder, preferably in order to transfer base covering sheets on a packing machine to a cylinder which applies them to the open bases of continuously supplied pack pieces. The pivoting jaw of each cylinder has a second controller, which can be operated in order to inactivate the pincer movement, and to control the latter so that it takes over the function of the blade. The cylinder diameters are matched so that the activated grab of one cylinder can work together with the activated blade of the other.

Abstract: A speech compression system called "Transform Predictive Coding", or TPC,
provides for encoding 7 kHz wideband speech (16 kHz sampling) at a target bit-rate range
of 16 to 32 kb/s (1 to 2 bits/sample). The system uses short-term and long-term
prediction to remove the redundancy in speech. A prediction residual is transformed and
coded in the frequency domain to take advantage of knowledge in human auditory
perception. The TPC coder uses only open-loop quantization and therefore has a fairly
low complexity. The speech quality of TPC is essentially transparent at 32 kb/s, very
good at 24 kb/s, and acceptable at 16 kb/s.

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.
