Patent EP-1124173-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MORRIS HARRY W
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1998-05-15
Abstract: A method and means for self-policing and automatically rate-limiting multiple-user online forums. The preferred embodiment of the invention includes a set of rules that permit users to censure other users. A censured user has one or more "privileges" (which may include access to the online computer system or the effective message rate of a communications connection) taken away or diminished; the privilege is gradually restored if the censure user behaves. The censuring participant and other pertinent participants are notified of the effect of the censuring on the censured user. In another aspect of the invention, the online computer system automatically tracks the rate at which a user sends certain types of messages, and can message rate limit a user who uses too many system resources by sending a large number of messages in rapid succession.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the invention, blade tensioner (1) is configured with blade shoe (2) having chain sliding face (20a), base (4) that supports base part (2a) of blade shoe (2) while allowing it to pivot freely, and blade spring (3) in which base part (3a) is fixed to tip part (2b) of blade shoe (2). Warped part (3b) provided at the tip contacts inner face (20b) of blade shoe (2), and curved part (3c) provided at the midpoint of base (4) contacts sliding face (4a) of base (4). In this case, the damping force of the blade tensioner increases due to sliding resistance generated between warped part (3b) of blade spring (3) and inner face (20b) and between curved part (3c) and sliding face (4a).

Abstract: A prosody matching template in the form of a tree structure (10) stores indices which
point to lookup table (20) and template information prescribing pitch (22) and duration values (24) that
are used to add inflection to the output of a text-to-speech synthesizer (14). The lookup
module (28) employs a search algorithm that explores each branch of the tree (10), assigning
penalty scores based on whether the syllable represented by a node of the tree does
or does not match the corresponding syllable of the target word. The path with the
lowest penalty score is selected as the index into the prosody template table. The
system will add nodes by cloning existing nodes in cases where it is not possible to find
a one-to-one match between the number of syllables in the target word and the number
of nodes in the tree.

Abstract: An apparatus for coating a photoreceptor substrate, such as a
photoreceptor belt (20A) or a photoreceptor drum (20B), consists of at least one
photoreceptor coating fluid reservoir or diptank (10). The diptank (10) defines an
inlet (1) at one end and a conduit with an orifice (11) at the other end. The conduit
includes at least one porous element (31,32) such as a grid, screen or mesh
arranged for suspending a plurality of layers of non-contaminating rounded
objects (400), such as stainless steel or glass beads, in the bottom of the conduit.
Photoreceptor coating solution supplied to the inlet (1) is thereby forced to flow
through the plurality of layers of beads prior to coating a photoreceptor
substrate that is inserted through the orifice (11). As a result, the uniformity of
the coating solution is improved as it coats the photoreceptor substrate,
thereby reducing coating defects in the finished photoreceptor belt or drum.

Abstract: A process is provided for the production of sulfur dioxide by combustion of sulfur and
pure oxygen in a closed system that produces a high yield in the recovery of SO 2  and
that reduces environmental contamination to levels below the standard requirements.
The pure oxygen is diluted before combustion in recirculated combustion gas that has
been previously cooled, in order to maintain combustion at less than 1200°C. The
combustion gas is cooled, purified and liquefied, with the non-liquefied gas being
recirculated in a closed system. A combustion gas having a high SO 2  content, for
example 84% SO 2  (v/v), can thus be obtained, which is easily liquefied to a high SO 2 
recovery efficiency, for example 95% at -10°C. Preferably, sulfur (1) is smelted in heat
interchanger (3) and burned with oxygen (2) in combustion chamber of boiler (4). The
combustion gas driven by suction from blower (7) is cooled by heat interchanger (5)
and purifier/cooler (6). At fork point (8) a portion of the gas is recirculated to mixing
point (9), where the pure oxygen (2) is incorporated. The remaining portion of the gas
is liquified in cooling plant (10) to form liquid sulfur dioxide (11), leaving a non-condensable
gaseous mix that is returned to the circuit via mixing point (12).
