Abstract: An improved paper separator system (10) is described where, instead of a symmetrical, cylindrical paper-feed roller, an asymmetrical feed roller (20) (or stripper roller) is used to separate a bottommost sheet from a stack of sheets (14). Eccentric portions (40, 42) of the feed roller are located at both ends of the roller, and the middle portion (44) of the roller is cylindrical. Paper-feed springs (22, 24) oppose the eccentric portions of the feed roller, while a centrally located separator pad (26) opposes the cylindrical middle portion of the feed roller. The extended radius at the apogee (60) of the eccentric portions allows the eccentric portions to effectively reach out and grab the bottommost sheet even if the stack of sheets were only initially lightly contacting the roller. The eccentric portions of the feed roller also provide surges in the frictional force urging the bottommost sheets toward the separator pad. This surge in force acts to spread out (or pre-separate) the paper in the stack so the paper can be more easily separated by the separator pad. In one embodiment, the eccentric end portions are formed by cutting ends of a cylindrical roller (20) and then placing a shim (50) between the center shaft (46) and each end portion (40, 42).

Abstract: A system (10) selectively enables a printer (20) to deposit on a sheet C,M, Y and K color dots at each of the plurality of pixel locations to produce a color image. The system (10) comprises a memory (14) for storing C, M, Y and K color values for each pixel in the color image and a processor (12) for controlling selective deposition of the C, M, Y and K colors. The processor (12) determines a gray value for each pixel location from values stored in the C, M, and Y color planes (28, 30, 32). The processor (12) subtracts the determined gray value from the C, M, and Y values which correspond to the pixel location and then determines a relationship of the gray value to a non-linear function and in dependence upon the relationship alters the C, M and Y pixel values accordingly. The processor (12) either (1) adds the gray value back to the C, M, and Y values for the pixel location, or (2) adds a first portion of the gray value to the C, M, and Y values for the pixel location and a second portion of the gray value to the K value for the pixel location; or (3) adds all of the gray value to a K value for the pixel location. As a result, the C, M, Y and K values are altered in accordance with the determined gray value. The altered color values are then prioritized and the processor (12) determines which colors should be printed at each pixel location and diffuses color error values to neighboring pixel locations after such determination. The prioritization procedure enables print priority to be given to either the brightest color dot or to the color dot that is most visible to the human eye.

Abstract: When relaying a coded data signal from one individual network to another individual network, a first relay R1, for instance, increases the length of preambles by 1, and when relaying to a next individual network, second relay R2, for instance, decreases the length of preambles by 2. Increment/decrement processing of the length of preambles can be carried out without decoding the main body of the coded data signal. Alternatively, preamble duration shortening accompanying the relay can be utilized and signal distortions accompanying signal transmission such as group delay and signal strength attenuation can also be utilized. Without processing the data at the relay, the destination equipment can obtain data concerning the position of the source equipment which transmitted the data signal, such as data concerning the transmission route of the data signal.

Abstract: A method is described for network optimization based on a multirate, circuit-switched analysis. Network loss probabilities are determined as a solution of a set of fixed point equations and the sensitivity of network performance, as a function of offered load and loss probabilities, is determined as a solution to a set of linear equations. Because the numerical complexity of solving both the fixed point equations and the sensitivity equations is of an order which renders an exact solution computationally intractable, an asymptotic approximation is applied which yields a solution to the network loss probabilities and network sensitivities. A global optimization procedure is then applied using an iterative, steepest ascent optimization procedure to yield a set of virtual path routings and capacity allocations.
