Inventor: RUSSELL WILLIAM C
IPC: G06F13/00
Filed: 1993-10-28
Abstract: Method and apparatus for logging status information of a printer using an interactive network board coupled between the printer and a Local Area Network, includes the use of a Small Computer Systems Interface coupled to the board and having a data channel and a status channel, for transmitting print data to the printer over the data channel, transmitting printer status requests to the printer and receiving printer status data from the printer over the status channel. A memory is coupled to the board and is used for storing the received printer status data. A processor is also coupled to the board for adding beginning and end of print job indicia to the print data prior to transmission to the printer, and for causing the printer status requests to be transmitted to and received from the printer at a first predetermined interval (e.g. every minute). Furthermore, the processor calculates, at a second predetermined interval (e.g. daily) printer status statistics based on the received printer status data and the beginning and end of job indicia. Finally, the processor stores the calculated printer status statistics in the memory. Preferably, the calculated printer status statistics are then stored in a non-volatile memory in the printer and can be accessed at a later date from a remote location. Also, it is preferable if the printer status statistics are provided at a plurality of levels of resolution, the levels being selectable from the remote location.

Abstract: A system for correcting for a time of flight delay of a drop of ink from an inkjet printhead includes a first mechanism (152) for scanning the printhead (102) along a first axis at a first velocity. A control circuit (300), responsive to inkjet timing signals, causes the printhead (102) to eject ink onto a media (30) to create a test pattern (40) thereon as the printhead (102) is scanned along the first axis. A sensor (200) optically senses the test pattern (40) and provides a time of flight dependent phase signal in response thereto. This signal is processed to provide time of flight delay corrected inkjet timing signals for the first velocity in response to the phase signal. In a particular implementation, the processor (170) is adapted to add an additional delay to the corrected timing signals to correct for curvature.

Abstract: A method of and apparatus for determining stable and labile glycated compound levels in blood. Electromagnetic energy covering a multiplicity of wavelength bands within a wavelength range from 380 nm to 2500 nm is directed into a sample volume containing blood. Portions of the energy representative of both the source energy and energy after interacting with material within the sample volume are collected. The energy portions carry information relating to the source energy and the levels of labile and stable compounds within the sample volume, respectively. The portions are converted into electrical signals representative of the intensities of the respective portions in each of the multiplicity of wavelength bands. The electrical signals are pretreated in accordance with known information to remove deviations from established reference conditions to form data signals that are a function of the fractional portion of the energy in each of the wavelength bands absorbed and scattered by the material in the measurement volume. Selected groups of the data signals are processed in accordance with chemometric models developed from analysis of such data signals together with known values of the analytes derived from measurements on a calibration set of samples larger in number than the number of wavelength bands included in the set of the selected groups of data signals to develop analyte signals representative of the amounts of glycated compounds for which chemometric models have been developed and utilized. The analyte signals may be stored and displayed in a form suitable for medical use.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for determining the byte error rate (ByER) of a received digital signal (S). In particular, a local byte clock signal (C) is generated (in 16) and a complement            S     ¯            of the received signal (by 16) (or clock signal) is compared (in 14) to the clock signal (or received signal). When both are the same logic value, as determined by a series of logic gates, an error is deemed to have occurred. The total number of errors N over a predetermined period of time T are then counted (by 18). The byte error rate is then determined from the relation           N/T       C              (by 20).

Abstract: A test procedure for the testing liquid storage tanks, for leakage, comprises: immersing at least part of test equipment in the liquid in question and fixing the equipment in position with respect to the tank; allowing a quantity of the liquid in question to be admitted to a multiplier tube, until the level of liquid in the multiplier tube equates to that in the tank; isolating the liquid in the multiplier tube from that in the tank for an appropriate test period; introducing a predetermined measure (M) of liquid of the same nature as that in the tank into the test equipment to establish a recordable datum level removing the predetermined measure (M) of liquid from the test equipment; re-connecting the liquid in the multiplier tube with that in the tank; waiting a prescribed period of time; taking the same measure (M) of liquid and re-introducing this measured amount into the test equipment; and observing any fall of the meniscus of that measure from the previous datum level, which fall would indicate leakage from the tank. The invention also includes test equipment (9).

Abstract: A variable speed playback system exploits multiple-period similarities within a residual signal (102), and includes multiple-period template matching which may be applied to alter the excitation periodical structure, and thereby increase or decrease the rate of speech playback. Embodiments of the present invention enable accurate fast or slow speech playback for store and forward applications without changing the pitch period of the speech. A correlated multiple-period similarity measure is determined for an excitation signal within a compressor/expander (406). The multiple-period similarity enables overlap-and-add expansion or compression (406, 408) by a rational ratio. Energy variations at the onset and offset portions of the speech may be weighted by energy-based adaptive weight windows (204).

Abstract: Un système d'analyse de l'établissement de communications peut être utilisé en général avec n'importe quel système de télécommunications grâce à des paramètres configurables de détection. Un signal transmis par un canal du système de télécommunications est détecté à des intervalles dont la composition en fréquence est variable et comparé à des descripteurs mémorisés de motifs qui définissent chacun un signal différent d'établissement de communications. Les paramètres des descripteurs de motifs sont configurables et comprennent des valeurs d'identification des tonalités présentes dans le signal et des cadences relatives de ces tonalités. Une liste séparée de descripteurs de tonalité, avec des renvois aux descripteurs de motifs, peut être configurée et identifie des tonalités différentes par l'intensité des signaux à différentes fréquences. Une technique de corrélation progressive compare chaque intervalle successif du signal détecté aux intervalles successifs définis par chaque descripteur de motif et génère une liste de possibilités de descripteurs de motifs susceptibles de correspondre au signal détecté. A mesure que chaque intervalle est détecté et comparé aux intervalles correspondants des descripteurs de motifs, de plus en plus de descripteurs sont enlevés de la liste de possibilités, jusqu'à ce qu'il ne reste qu'un seul descripteur assorti. On peut le cas échéant continuer à mettre en oeuvre la technique de corrélation pour s'assurer que le motif reste assorti pendant un nombre minimum d'intervalles.
