Abstract: In  a  toaster,  a  system  is  constructed  to  vary  the duration of the toasting cycle.  An RC network provides an  oscillating  signal to  a  counter,  which  upon  the required number of oscillations being counted, triggers a transistor  switch.    The  switch  energizes  the  main solenoid switch which in turn deactivates  the heating elements of the toaster.   The RC network of the system comprises  a variable   resistor which may be manually operated,  a  heat  sensitive  resistor,   and  a  light sensitive resistor.

IPC: B41M1/14

Granted: 2002-03-05
Abstract: A process corrects geometric errors in the transfer of information without mechanical intervention on the printing form, to compensate for the errors that occur and thus attain optimized print quality prior to imaging.  The corrections are visually indiscernible, so that the artifacts created in the printed result by the corrections do not stand out in the image. A device-independent description of the page information to be printed is converted by a Raster Imaging Process into at least one device-dependent digital matrix. Each matrix with m rows and n columns contains the information for a certain color to be printed. After the individual matrices are produced, they are supplied to a matrix manipulation device, which subjects each matrix to a correction transformation using specific parameters. After the matrices are adjusted, they are supplied by a matrix transfer device to the digital imaging devices in the printing mechanisms.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif basé sur un ou plusieurs éléments actifs (1, 25) qui peuvent à la fois surveiller/mesurer et commander la température d'un environnement donné. Ces éléments sont caractérisés par une faible capacité thermique et alimentés en courant par une technique de modulation de largeur d'impulsions. La surveillance est réalisée, sur les mêmes éléments, par une analyse de la relaxation thermique entre les impulsions de chauffage. Les éléments peuvent être amenés à la température du corps, ce qui donne un instrument (pneumotachographe) de poche, de faible puissance, très précis et très léger, convenant pour effectuer des mesures spirométriques précises. Le dispositif peut être facilement adapté à des applications destinées aux mesures d'écoulement de haute précision, ainsi qu'à la calorimétrie de haute sensibilité.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for selecting staple positions for printed documents are disclosed. A system and method for printing documents is disclosed which provide a user with extended staple position options. A user of a printer may specify where he wishes staples to be put into his document. The user is provided with a view of a sheet of paper on his computer screen, and can select with his mouse where he wants the staples to be put. By knowing the paper size, feed orientation and image orientation, the printer driver can then map the user's selected staple positions to the physical capabilities of the printer. The printer driver instructs the printer controller of the stapling position for the job, and how much rotation (if any) the controller should apply to the image before printing.

Abstract: In this instrument system having at least one instrument disposed in a housing (1) the housing is to be mounted detachably on a support (3) and the customer himself is to set a coding for each system module comprising instrument and support. Grooves (23 or 27) are provided in the support (3) for taking up coding pins (31). In the assembled state the grooves (23) of the support form groove pairs with the grooves (27). The inner spaces of the grooves of a groove pair together form an interstice for accommodating just one coding pin (31). This is fixed in either the groove (27) or in the groove (23). In this way the assignment of a housing (1) to a support (3) is established through the positions of the coding pins (31).

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé et un appareil destinés à améliorer la consistance et la qualité d'une boisson gazeuse glacée, ledit procédé consistant à contrôler le liquide présent dans la chambre de mélange d'une machine à boissons gazeuses glacées. Ledit procédé consiste à mesurer les pics de pression se produisant dans la chambre, dont l'amplitude est représentative de la quantité de liquide présente dans la chambre. Un pic trop haut, ou trop bas, indique un excès, ou un manque, de liquide dans la chambre. On peut en régulant la quantité de liquide présente dans la chambre maintenir la consistance et la qualité de la boisson. L'invention recourt à un microprocesseur pour déterminer si les pics sont hors d'une plage acceptable; si c'est le cas, le microprocesseur réajuste les valeurs de consigne de la pression qui servent à préciser quand on doit ouvrir ou fermer l'alimentation de la chambre en ingrédients, afin de réguler le rapport gaz/liquide et par là la quantité de liquide présente dans la chambre, ce qui assure un contrôle précis de la consistance et de la qualité de la boisson.

Granted: 2010-12-14
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for separating nucleic acids from other cellular debris, especially substances that carry a net positive charge at low pH, by electrophoresis under acid conditions. In the purification method of the present invention, nucleic acids are separated from proteins found in the same biological sample by applying the sample to an electrophesis gel and subjecting the sample to electrophoresis under acid conditions to separate the nucleic acids from the proteins. The optimum pH may differ for different sample types but can be readily determined by those skilled in the art. Preferably, the separation is performed at a pH of about 2 to about 4. More preferably, electrophoresis is carried out at a pH of 2.5

Abstract: A quantizer and dequantizer for use in a video coding system that applies no n linear, piece-wise linear scaling functions to video information signals bas ed on a value of a variable quantization parameter. The quantizer and dequantiz er apply different non linear, piece-wise linear scaling functions to a DC luminance signal, a DC chrominance signal and an AC chrominance signal. A co de for reporting updates of the value of the quantization parameter is interpreted to require larger changes when the quantization parameter initially is large and smaller changes when the quantization parameter initially is small.
