Patent EP-0890437-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SILVERBROOK KIA
IPC: B41J2/045
Filed: 1996-04-09
Abstract: A new printing system is disclosed for drop on demand printing.
This printing mechanism divides the printing process into two stages; a drop
selection means to select drops to be printed which generates a difference in
meniscus position between selected drops and unselected drops of fluidized ink; and
a drop separation means, attracting the ink of said drops to a substrate, the
attraction being insufficient to overcome the surface tension of drops in an
unselected meniscus position but being sufficient to overcome the surface tension of
drops in a selected meniscus position so as to cause movement of the drops to the
substrate. The drop selection means can produce a difference in meniscus position
in the absence of the drop separation means. 
     The separation of drop selection means from drop separation means
significantly reduces the energy required to select which ink drops are to be printed.
Only the drop selection means must be driven by individual signals to each nozzle.
The drop separation means can be a field or condition applied simultaneously to all
nozzles.

Abstract: An in-line mixing apparatus for the substantially continuous production of size to
be supplied to a glass fiber forming process. The in-line mixing apparatus comprises a
plurality of stages wherein the first stage (20) is a static mixing device (22,39) in which sizing
components are carefully metered (26) into a flow of water or other carrier fluid (24), and blended
together. A second stage (40), hydrolyzer (42), connected to the first stage (20), provides a chamber
in which the blended water and size materials are allowed to chemically react as they
move therethrough. A second static mixing device (60,62,63) may be connected to the output of the
hydrolyzer (42) if additional components need to be added, or if additional mixing of the
materials blended in the first stage and reacted in the second stage is necessary. The
output of the in-line mixing device (62,63) may be piped directly to the size applicators (74) of the
respective (78) fiber producing operations.

Abstract: A printer having a stapling function is controlled.
If the size of a sheet of paper to be printed on is set
when the user designates a stapling position, positions
at which stapling is possible are decided in dependence
upon the set paper size and these positions are
displayed as candidates for selection. The user selects
a desired position from among the candidates. The
selected position is displayed together with an image of
the paper shape indicating the page layout of the paper,
the orientation of print data and stapling orientation.
Lastly, the candidates for selection are displayed on
the image. The stapling position thus set is sent to
the printer when printing is performed.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to convert a voice
to a character string and output attribute data associated with
the character string. The central controller (14) of the data
processing apparatus (1) converts a voice entered from the voice
input unit (12) through the voice/character code conversion
processing (53) to a character string. Then, any date and time
part of the character string are detected through the date
detection processing (54) and the time detection processing
(55) and the detected date and time part are converted to
predetermined date and time words through the date conversion
processing (56) and the time conversion processing (57).
Finally, the converted date and time are associated to a voice
and a character string as attribute data through the monitor
controlling (60) and stored in the schedule memory (70) as
schedule data. Consequently, the date and time are associated
to a voice and a character string automatically. The current
date and time clocked by the clocking unit (13) are also used
as such attribute data, so that either of any detected date and
time part or the current date and time are selected and used.

IPC: G01R31/36
Filed: 1999-08-26
Abstract: Bei einem Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Ladezustandes und der Hochstrombelastbarkeit
von Batterien werden in den stromlosen Pausen vor und nach einer Belastungsphase die
Leerlaufspannungen U 01  und U 02  gemessen. Daraus werden unter Berücksichtigung
batteriespezifischer Parameter, insbesondere des zeitlichen Verlaufes der Leerlaufspannung
die echten Batterieruhespannungen U 001  und U 002  berechnet. Während der Belastungsphase
wird die umgesetzte Strommenge q gemessen und aus der Beziehung  U 002  - U 001  = C 1  ·q/Q 0   
wird die Säurekapazität Q 0  des Akkumulators ermittelt. Der relative Ladezustand SOC j  wird
aus einem durch die Formel  SOC j  = U 002 /C 1  - C 2    linearisierten Verlauf der Ruhespanung U 00 
in Abhängigkeit vom Ladezustand des Akkumulators ermittelt, woraus sich der absolute
Ladezustand zu SOC j  · Q o  berechnet. 
     Aus dem Innenwiderstand R i , einer vorgegebenen Temperatur und dem zuletzt ermittelten
Ladezustand wird eine Ruhespannung für einen späteren Zeitpunkt prognostiziert, aus der
mit dem bekannten zum Start des Motors notwendigen Strom eine Aussage über die Startfähigkeit
der Batterie abgeleitet wird.
