Patent NZ-505823-A (NZ)
Title: Ink cartridge and printer using the same
Inventor: SARUTA TOSHIHISA
IPC: B41J2/165
Filed: 1999-11-02
Abstract: In an ink jet printer 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 colour 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.

Title: Radiotherapy verification system
Inventor: ZACHMAN JULIE C
IPC: A61B6/03
Filed: 1999-08-06
Abstract: A method of verifying patient dose in operation of a radiotherapy machine. In radiotherapy, a high quality imaging array may be placed after the patient and opposite the radiation source to be used during radiation treatment to verify operation of a shutter system or similar device and/or to compute dose delivered to the patient. A model of the patient may be used and inverted in order to estimate values of energy fluence prior to absorption by the patient and overlapping of the various radiation beams passing through the patient. A test pattern of shutter excitation to illuminate a single ray at a time provides a simple method of obtaining the necessary model. The dose from this test pattern may be subtracted from the subsequent radiation treatment so as to provide limited or no increase in total dose to the patient.
