Abstract: The invention relates to a dishwashing machine with a
lower and an upper spray arm and a circulating pump for
circulating operation of the rinse water and a wash liquor
pump in the sump in the bottom of the rinsing reservoir
for the removal by suction of the rinse water in the
suction operation. The deposition of sludge in the sump
of the rinsing reservoir and the subsequent removal by
suction of the dirt particles with the rinse water is
achieved by a depositing and suction area and a separate
circulating area in the sump of the rinsing reservoir.

Abstract: A method for detecting the relocation of a postage metering system includes
initializing the postage metering system with a user postal code which is stored in
the postage metering system. When a mailpiece is prepared (400), its return
address postal code (405) is compared to the user postal code. When the return
address postal code is different from the user postal code, the user is alerted to the
difference. When the user postal code is confirmed (420) as being allowable, the
envelope is printed (415). When the user postal code is not allowable according to
postal regulations, the user postal code is reset to correspond to a licensing post
office for the return address of the mailpiece.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of monitoring a communications network
comprising a plurality of node equipment, eg switches, and link equipment, eg
fibre optic links, in which performance parameters of individual components of the
node equipment are used to determine an overall performance parameter for the
node equipment. By comparing like performance parameters for individual
network elements, the performance of different types of network element can be
compared with each other. Parameters which can be monitored include quality of
service, cell discard, cell loss, and other measures of network performance.
Each of a plurality of monitoring sessions runs contemporaneously, each
monitoring a respective set of operational parameters. During each monitoring
session, there are input a set of operational parameters (132) to be monitored.
Data relating to the operational parameters is collected from one or more network
elements, and a display of the data is produced (134).

image forming apparatus includes an intermediate tray (21), an
sheet input conveyance path (17) to the intermediate tray, a
sheet output conveyance path (19) from the intermediate tray, the
sheet input conveyance path (17) and the sheet output conveyance
path (19) being arranged to intersect each other at one end of
the intermediate sheet tray (21), a conveying roller (22) provided
along the conveyance path from the image processing portion (1)

IPC: F01N13/04
Filed: 1998-03-03
Abstract: In an exhaust gas purification device, an exhaust
gas passage of a diesel engine diverges into two branch
pipes and a particulate filter (DPF) is disposed in each
of the branch pipes. The DPF uses a metallic substrate
and NO x  absorbent is attached to the wall of the paths in
the DPF. Therefore, the DPF act as both a normal
particulate filter and a NO x  absorbent. During the
operation of the engine, SO x , as well as NO x , in the
exhaust gas is absorbed in the NO x  absorbent in the DPF.
An electronic control unit (ECU) monitors the amount of
SO x  absorbed in the DPF during the operation and, when
the amount of SO x  absorbed in one DPF increases, switches
the exhaust gas flow to the other DPF. The ECU further
performs the SO x  recovery operation to release the
absorbed SO x  from the DPF. After completing the SO x 
recovery operation, the ECU performs the regenerating
operation of the DPF in which the particulate matter
trapped in the DPF is burned. Since SO x  in DPF is
already released by the previous SO x  recovery operation
when the regenerating operation of the DPF is performed,
the growth of sulfate particle in the DPF does not occur
even if the DPF is exposed to a high temperature lean
air-fuel ratio atmosphere of the regenerating operation.
