Title: Color-blind melt flow index properties for toners
Inventor: SILENCE SCOTT M
IPC: G03G9/087
Filed: 2001-09-26
Abstract: At least three differently colored toners, designed for use together in forming a
color image in an image developing device, have substantially the same melt flow index
value. By substantially matching the melt flow index values of at least three toners of a
set of toners, it has been found that the resultant color image has an overall excellent
image quality, i.e., an excellent overall gloss level without any gloss banding. The
toners may be made to have substantially the same melt flow index value in a carefully
controlled process that includes forming a single toner by feeding at least one
binder and at least one colorant into a mixing device to form a mixture, upon exit of
the mixture from the mixing device, measuring a rheology property of the mixture with
at least one monitoring device, and comparing the measured rheology property to a
target property range that the measured rheology property must be within in order for
the single toner to achieve the desired melt flow index value, wherein if the measuring
indicates that the rheology property is outside of the target property range, feed
amounts of the at least one binder or of the at least one colorant into the mixing device
are adjusted, grinding the mixture, optionally together with a portion of one or more
external additives to be added to the mixture, classifying the ground mixture, mixing
the classified mixture with one or more external surface additives to obtain the single
toner having the desired melt flow index value, and repeating the steps for each
additional differently colored toner.

Abstract: An intraoral x-ray film packet is taught which has an outer
envelope wherein one of the two opposing outer sheets is more rigid than the other
and serves as a stiffening sheet such that it has a tensile modulus of at least 700
Kg/cm 2 . This is preferably accomplished by making both sheets from a
thermoplastic material such as PVC and reducing the amount of plasticizer in the
more rigid of the two sheets to less than 30%. A continuous perimetric seal is
formed affixing the two outer sheets together and forming a perimetric laminated
edge which is substantially coplanar with the more rigid of the two sheets. A film
chip resides between the two outer sheets. The coplanar perimetric laminated
edge and the added rigidity aid in improving accurate sizing of each individual
packet and prevention of deflection of the marginal area of individual packets in
subsequent operations.

Abstract: A system and method for preventing a call from being dropped changes from
a first set of serving base station(s) for the call to a second set of serving base
station(s) which can be determined independently by both the wireless unit and the
wireless communications system. As such, the wireless unit can attempt to recover
the call using the second set of serving base station(s) even without the availability of
a communication link between the wireless unit and the current set of serving base
station(s). The wireless communications system can independently determine a
second set of serving base station(s) for the call using information known at both the
wireless communication system and at the wireless unit before the communication
link was severed. For example, the wireless unit and the communications system can
determine the second set of serving base station(s) using the candidate list identified
with a previous pilot strength measurement message (PSMM) known to have been
successfully reported to the wireless communications system. After the wireless
communications system and the wireless unit determine that a call is in danger of
being dropped, the wireless unit and the wireless communications system can
automatically add base station(s) in the candidate set to the active set in attempting to
recover the call.

filter is provided at or before a port of a signal line for
inputting the signal played back by the control head to the
amplifier circuit. The filter in the audio signal playback
circuit or the servo-control CTL signal playback circuit
allows an interference signal having a low-frequency

Abstract: A method is described for transmitting/receiving STM-4 (SDH) or STS-12
(SONET) digital signals over two RF carriers in a radio regenerator section. The
method provides for performing, in transmission, a de-interleaving operation of
the standard frame to be transmitted in such a way as to subdivide it by
columns into two sub-frames. The RSOH bytes of the standard frame are
terminated and transmitted over the two working channels or over one service
channel and one working channel so as to be protected in a 1+1 configuration:
In reception, a column interleaving operation recombines together the two sub-frames
and recovers and correctly rearranges the RSOH bytes so terminated as
to obtain the standard frame originally received from the transmitter. The
generated sub-frames are synchronized with the standard frame.

Abstract: A semiconductor body (11) has first and second opposed major surfaces (11a and 11b). First and second main regions (13 and 14) meet the second major surface (11b) and a voltage-sustaining zone is provided between the first and second regions (13 and 14). The voltage-sustaining zone has a semiconductor region (11) of one conductivity type forming a rectifying junction (J) with a region (15) of the device such that, when the rectifying junction is reverse-biased in one mode of operation, a depletion region extends in the semiconductor region of the voltage-sustaining zone. A number of conductive regions (22) are isolated from and extend through the semiconductor region (11) in a direction transverse to the first and second major surfaces (11a and 11b) so as to be spaced apart in a direction between first and second main regions. A voltage regulator (20; 20'; 20a and 20b) is provided for setting the voltage at each conductive regions (22) so as to control the voltage distribution, and thus the electrical field profile, in the voltage-sustaining zone when the rectifying junction is reverse-biased in said one mode of operation.

Inventor: RIVAILLIER JACQUES
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2001-12-20
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for organising messages or self-directed formatting based on index character alphabets or the like. The index characters are often graphic characters (sometimes sonic) which can encode 256 different symbols, reserved ASCII characters, or matches consisting of specific escape sequences or still descriptions of graphic symbols using several octets. Said characters or equivalent, enable to indicate clearly the meaning of elements of information which are associated with them and the composition rules. The aim is to produce specific information zones or fields which are operable independently of their positions in the message without defining pre-established formats. That feature eliminates the need for defining and stating the structure of the message composition, prior to the production and operation as is usually required. The thus formatted message consists of two main parts: the heading and the body. The heading indicates the characteristics of the body of the message and its operational characteristics. It is adapted to the field of application and enables, in particular, to implement security procedures for the information of the message. For short messages the header can encapsulate the message. Said subset can be embedded in a wider set which it completes (or makes secure). The FORMATDOTE process accelerates and makes secure processing operations and enables to reduce operational costs.
