Abstract: A combined digital reproduction apparatus suitable for making prints in response to operation of keys on its operating panel (e.g. copies of documents scanned with a scanner) and making prints on its own initiative (prints in accordance with a digital print file received from a network). 
     In this apparatus, a user present at the apparatus for an order is given priority. 
     The control process of the apparatus for this purpose executes any print orders arriving via the network only if it does not detect any signs indicative of the fact that a user is preparing or executing a reproduction process at the apparatus. Such signs may, for example, be in the form of actuation of a key on the operating panel or the actual execution of a copying order. 
     If the control process detects such signs, it does not start the print orders received via the network. 
     If the control process does not detect such signs, it announces the print order first for a predetermined time, e.g. by a message on the operating panel display screen, before starting the actual printing process. On detecting activity by an operator at the apparatus, the printing process is cancelled and the control process is again exclusively responsive to orders from the operating panel.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing a security check are disclosed. Many
conventional security checks require the recording or transmission of a user data
sets associated with respective authorised users. A problem arises with these
systems if the user data set becomes known by unauthorised persons. In order to
address this problem the present invention proposes the recording or transmission
of only part of the user data set in insecure sections of the system. For example,
a security check preventing unauthorised remote access to a shared computer (20)
is provided by capturing a user data set representing a user's iris, operating the
user's personal computer (10) to select only a portion of the captured data set
requested by the shared computer (20) and transmitting the portion along a
telecommunications line (16). The shared computer (20) derives partial data sets
from stored user data sets using a similar selection to that used by personal
computer (10) and compares the partial data set it has derived with the partial data
set transmitted by the personal computer (10) in deciding whether to grant access.
Point-of-sale devices and cards recording only partial user data sets are also
disclosed.

Abstract: A process for plating tin or tin alloy onto metal substrates is
described. In the process, a metal substrate is placed in an electroplating
bath that contains a stannous sulfate and an organic compound additive in
which the organic compound has a heterocyclic moiety in an aqueous solution
of sulfonic acid. The bath is then subjected to pulse plating conditions that
plate a layer of tin or tin alloy onto the metal substrate wherein the tin in the
tin layer has a grain size of about 2 µm to about 8 µm. During pulse plating,
a current density of about 65 ASF to about 250 ASF is applied to the
electroplating bath in a pulsed manner, i.e. the current is cycled on and off
during plating. The duty cycle of the pulse is about twenty-five percent to
about thirty percent. The duration of the on pulse during the cycle is about
50 µs to about 500 µs.

Abstract: A method for controlling a power plant which delivers electrical
power to an electrical grid. This grid has a grid frequency which
fluctuates around a nominal frequency (Fo). The power output of said
power plant is controlled as a function of a control frequency, in such
a matter that the power output is increased when the control frequency
decreases below said nominal frequency (Fo), and in the other hand the
power output is decreased when the control frequency increases beyond
said nominal frequency (Fo). The grid frequency is continuously
measured. The measured grid frequency (Fm) is averaged to give as a
moving average a slowly varying averaged trend frequency which is
charactersitic of the long term behaviour of the grid frequency. The
averaged grid frequency is used as said control frequency, if said
measured grid frequency (Fm) lies within a predetermined band, around
said averaged grid frequency. The measured grid frequency (Fm) is used
as said control frequency, if said measured grid frequency lies outside
said predetermined band.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for the transmission and reception of an In-band On-channel (IBOC) FM-band digital audio broadcast (DAB) signal. The IBOC DAB signal (63) is generated in the transmitter (47, 49) to occupy the upper and lower sideband frequency regions (11, 13) in the RF emission mask for the conventional broadcast analog FM-band. Redundant source bit information is transmitted in upper and lower sidebands so that the loss of information in either one but not both sidebands due to large amount of interference or distortion does not deleteriously affect the IBOC DAB receiver performance. The system exhibits frequency-diversity and time-diversity. The receiver (231, 233) determines which codeword bit estimate of upper or lower sideband signal is less erroneous. The receiver system selects between decoded estimates for each pair of demodulated ECC codewords or combines both ECC codeword estimates prior to decoding in certain embodiments.
