Abstract: A ~RED e~ cleat is a disposable, one-piece, self-adhesive, all-surface, all-surface footwear cleat having four primary components: a non-skid gripping surface, designed to address all sport, game, play and work foot-traction requirements, along with advertising needs, a color or reflective enhancement for safety, a cushioning layer which enhances foot comfort, as well as light production and a bonding layer which includes a self-adhesive surface for attaching a ~RED e~ cleat to any footwear. These four components combine to form a disposable, one-piece, self-adhesive, all surface footwear cleat. The ~RED e~ cleat respectfully replaces the need for specialty footwear, such as golf shoes, which incorporates permanently implanted or attached device for affixing traction gear to the underside of shoes. A~RED e~ cleat attaches simply and quickly to the sole and heel area of any footwear by removing a peel-off label 26 from the self-adhesive bonding surface 24 of a desired cleat size, shape, design and purpose and by pressing the self-adhesive surface 24 of the ~RED e~ cleat to the desired location. Removal of the ~RED e~cleat is also as simple. By peeling or scraping the cleat from the surface of the footwear, the ~RED e~ cleat will peel away from the sole or heel leaving the footwear ready for other uses. If desired , ~RED e~ cleats can be left on the footwear for a more extended use. In preferred forms, the invention is utilized by attaching a ~RED e~ golf cleat to any footwear, a ~RED e~ safety cleat to any footwear, a ~RED e~ comfort cleat to any footwear, a ~RED e~  light foot cleat to any footwear, etc.

Title: Cascaded control of an average value of a process parameter to a desired value
Inventor: PICHE STEPHEN
IPC: G05B13/02
Filed: 2005-08-03
Abstract: A multi-tier controller (610) directs operation of a system (620) performing a process. The process has multiple process parameters (MPPs) (625), at least one of the MPPs (625) being a controllable process parameter (CTPP) (615) and one of the MPPs (625) being a targeted process parameter (TPP) (625). The process also has a defined target limit (DTV) representing a first limit on an actual average value (AAV) of the TPP (625) over a defined time period of length TPLAAV2. The AAV is computed based on actual values (AVs) of the TTP  over the defined period. A first logical controller (630) predicts future average values (FAVs) of the TPP (625) over a first future time period (FFTP) having a length of at least TPLAAV2 and extending from a current time T0 to an future time TAAV2, prior to which the TPP (625) will move to steady state. The FAVs are predicted based on (i) the AAVs of the TTP (625) at various times over a first prior time period (FPTP) having a length of at least TPLAAV2 and extending from a prior time of T-AAV2 to the current time T0, (ii) the current values of the MPPs (625), and (iii) the DTV. A second logical controller esta~ishes a further target limit (FTV) representing a second limit on the AAV  of the TTP (625) for a second future time period (SFTP) having a length equal to TPLAAV1 which is less than the length TPLAAV2, and extending from the current time T0 to a future time TAAV1. The FTV is established based on one or more of the predicted FAVs of the TPP (625) over the FFTP. The second logical controller also determines a target set 25 point for each CTPP (615) based on (i) the AAVs of the TPP (625) at various times over a second prior time period (SPTP) having the length TPLAAV1, and extending from a prior time T-AAV1 to the current time T0, (ii) the current values of the MPPs (625), and (iii) the FTV. The second logical controller additionally has logic to direct control of each CTPP (615) in accordance with the determined target set point for that CTPP (615).

Title: Ink cartridge and printer using the same
Inventor: SARUTA TOSHIHISA
IPC: B41J2/175
Filed: 1999-11-02
Abstract: In an ink jet printer of the present invention, in order to reduce the manufacturing cost, an inexpensive EEPROM enabling only sequential accesses is applied for storage elements incorporated in a black ink cartridge and a color ink cartridge. The data array of a memory cell included in each of the storage elements mounted on the ink cartridges is determined in such a manner that a second storage area, in which rewritable data, for example, data on remaining quantities of inks in the ink cartridge, are stored, is accessed prior to a first storage area, in which read only data are stored. This configuration enables the rewritable data to be securely written into the second storage area even after a power-off operation. The second storage area has two memory divisions allocated to each ink, that is, a first ink remaining quantity memory division and a second ink remaining quantity memory division. Latest data on the remaining quantity of each ink is alternately written into these two memory divisions.  Alternatively, the latest data on the remaining quantity of each ink is written into these two memory divisions in a duplicated manner. Each ink remaining quantity memory division has a write complete flag to determine whether or not a writing operation has been completed normally in the ink remaining quantity memory division. This arrangement enables the remaining quantities of the respective inks to be monitored accurately and continuously.

Abstract: The present invention is a spiderweb maker gun comprising a body having a handle, a trigger, and a discharge nozzle. A source of pressurized air is supplied to an air inlet which is secured to the handle of the gun and which is controlled by an adjustable air valve. The discharge side of the air valve has an air conduit extending therefrom which has an air discharge end or nozzle positioned below the glue discharge nozzle so that pressurized air is directed into the stream of hot glue failing or dropping from the glue discharge nozzle. The pressurized air blows the hot glue in a stream towards the area where the spiderweb is to be created with the glue drying and cooling as it is being blown from the gun. The gun is selectively moved while the stream of hot glue is being blown therefrom to create the spiderweb pattern.
