Patent EP-0889389-A3 (EP)
Inventor: NAKAGIRI KOJI
IPC: G06F3/12
Filed: 1998-07-01
Abstract: A host device successively sends print data
constituting a plurality of sets of copies of a document to
be printed to a printer capable of printing on both sides
of printing paper. If each set of copies to be printed
consists of an odd number of pages, a blank page is inserted
as the reverse side of the last page to make the total number
of pages of the set of copies an even number. The print data
thus created is sent to the printer as a single job. This
makes it possible to prevent the last page of one set of copies
and the first page of another set of copies from being printed
on the same sheet of paper, thereby allowing each set of copies
to be printed as a discrete set independent of other sets.
Print job management is performed on the basis of a single
print job.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for spatially combining a large number of optical signals of
different wavelengths carried on optical fibers (12) from laser sources (10). A dispersive optical
device, disclosed as a grating (16), combines the multiple signals into a composite beam. Then a
sample of the composite beam is analyzed by passing it through tunable etalon (26) and onto a
sensor (30). The etalon (16) is successively tuned to passbands, each of which corresponds to the
wavelength of each of the optical signals in turn. The sensor (30) measures angular deviation of
each beam caused by wavelength changes, and generate control signals (on lines 36) to adjust each
wavelength at its laser source. Thus the apparatus provides for reliable multiplexing of a relatively
large numbers of laser sources (10), while the etalon (16) and sensor (30) operate in conjunction
with a controller (32), which also generates wavelength control signals for the lasers (10), to
ensure accurate beam alignment and more efficient multiplexing.

Abstract: An optical dome or window formed of a composition which is
transmissive to infrared frequencies in the range of from about 1
micron to about 14 microns and which is relatively opaque to
substantially all frequencies above about 14 microns consisting
essentially of a compound taken from the class consisting of group
III-V compounds doped with an element taken from the class
consisting of shallow donors and having less than about 1 x 10 7 
atoms/cc impurities and having less than about 1 x 10 15  parts
carbon. The shallow donors are Se, Te and S, preferably Se, with
the Se concentration from 5 x 10 15  atoms/cc to 2 x 10 16  atoms/cc.
The group III-V compound is preferably GaAs or GaP. The group III-V
compound is fabricated by providing a graphite vessel (3)
containing a graphite cloth (23) with the molten group III element
thereover, a shallow donor and water containing boron oxide
thereover, loading the group V element into the vessel in
essentially stoichiometric amounts to provide the molten compound
of the group III and group V elements and cooling the molten
compound progressively in a vertical direction from bottom to top
to form a crystal by causing growth of the crystal from the bottom
up in a vertical direction. The crystal with B 2 O 3  thereon is then
placed in a vacuum to reboil the B 2 O 3  and cause it to foam. The B 2 O 3 
is then easily removed from the crystal.

Abstract: A printing method is described, for a printer having a
print-head capable of printing more than one line of
pixels onto a target document in one pass and in which
the target document is advanced by a predetermined distance
between successive passes of the print head. The
method is designed to reduce print widening at the lower
margin of a document when a user-defined upper margin is
present. The print head is controlled to make successive
printing passes until the penultimate printing pass has
been completed. The target document is then advanced by a
distance which is less than the said predetermined distance.
Finally, the print head is controlled to make a
final printing pass to print a selected number of adjacent
lines of pixels which is smaller than the number of
lines of pixels that the print head is capable of printing
in one pass and which includes the line of pixels
farthest from the said upper margin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process as well
as to the related equipment for the production of strips,
or of substantially thin pieces of tenderized meat, which
are intended as ingredients for high-tenderness meat
products in order to form a basic attribute of
acceptability for the consumer, particularly because of
the high sensorial quality perceived by the same consumer
in chewing. Said process consists in subjecting the
pieces of meat -advantageously cut in a preparatory
device - to the pressing and tightening action of a
tenderizing mechanical equipment, which changes their
shape by submitting them to flattening sliding motions in
several directions, in order to obtain a geometric shape
like thin sheets of meat of complete tenderness and
friability with both a higher nutritive quality and
market value.

by subtracting the regenerated signal gACi from an
input signal X. A error power evaluation unit
computes an error power according to an error signal

Abstract: A network repeater having a plurality of repeater ports selectively establishes
links with remote nodes at one of two data rates based on the capabilities of the remote
network node and a determined link integrity. A network repeater establishes a link with
a network node using auto-negotiation techniques to establish a 100 Mb/s link. The
network repeater than monitors the link for symbol errors, and determines an integrity of
the link based on a detected number of symbol errors relative to a prescnbed threshold in
a dual-counter configuration. If the detected number of symbol errors counted by the first
counter reaches a first threshold within a first number of received symbols, the second
counter is incremented and the first counter reset. If over a second, longer interval the
second counter reaches a second threshold, indicating repeated symbol errors over a
greater distribution of received symbols, the network repeater performs a down shifting
operation by breaking the established 100 Mb/s link, and restarting auto-negotiation to
establish a 10 Mb/s link. Hence, the network repeater may monitor high-speed links for
link integrity, and selectively downshift a link encountenng a substantial number of
errors to a reduced data rate, without a necessity of a network manager or other remote
management agent.

Abstract: A distance measuring system is described which may be used as an altimeter for
a helicopter or for a load carried by its winch. The system comprises: a transmitting
transducer (18) for converting a first modulated electrical signal into a corresponding
acoustic signal to be directed towards and reflected by a surface (20); a receiving
transducer (22) for converting the received reflected acoustic signal into a corresponding
second electrical signal; and a correlation processor (17) for receiving the second
electrical signal, or the first and second electrical signals, and correlating the
modulations thereof to produce an indication of a time delay thereof from which the
distance(≈2d) travelled by the acoustic signal can be determined. 
     The frequency of the acoustic signal is preferably chosen so that it is not at or
near the fundamental resonant frequency of either transducer and so that it satisfies at
least one of the following conditions: at or near a higher-order resonant frequency of one
or both of the transducers; at a frequency at which a frequency-dependent directivity
index of the transducers is relatively high; at a frequency at which the ambient acoustic
noise level is relatively low; and at a frequency at which the acoustic reflection loss at
the surface is relatively low. The transducers are preferably mounted adjacent each other,
with an acoustically absorbent material (32) between them, and by respective mounting
systems (42,44) to a common member (36), with each mounting system providing
acoustic damping and isolation between its transducer and the common member. The
correlation processor is preferably arranged so that it does not attempt to correlate the
electrical signals in respect of a time delay which is less than or generally equal to the
time taken for the acoustic signal to travel directly between the transducers. The first
electrical signal is preferably modulated by an M-sequence. An altitude-related aspect
of the helicopter may be controlled in dependence upon the indicated time delay.
