Abstract: A postage meter (franking machine) uses a digital print head such as an ink-jet or thermal transfer or dot-matrix print head, for which it is necessary to know the velocity of the mail piece passing by the print head. Two collimated monochromatic beams strike the mail piece, one at an angle leading the mail piece velocity and the other at an angle lagging the mail piece velocity. The beams converge yielding a sensing region filled with a diffraction pattern. The mail piece, assumed to be rough at a scale that is appropriate for the velocity measurement, moves at some velocity. A detector detects light intensity (photon flux) at a small region within the sensing region, and the intensity signal has a frequency that is proportional to the mail piece velocity. The frequency is detected or measured, the instantaneous velocity is derived therefrom, and the velocity is used to control the print head. In this way a two-dimensional print image (postage indicium) is faithfully printed on the mail piece with minimal distortion even in the event of non-constant velocity of the mail piece. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A polymer dispersant for pigments based on an acrylic graft copolymer wherein the graft copolymer has a weight average molecular weight of 3,000-100,000 and comprises a polymeric backbone and macromonomer side chains attached to the backbone, wherein   (1) the polymeric backbone is formed of polymerized ethylenically unsaturated monomers and (2) the side chains are macromonomers that are attached to the backbone at a single terminal point and are formed from polymerized ethylenically unsaturated monomers and have a weight average molecular weight of about 1,000-30,000 wherein the graft copolymer contains about 2 to 70% by weight, based on the weight of the graft copolymer, of polymerized ethylenically unsaturated monomers containing acetoacetate groups that are polymerized into the backbone, side chains, or both, and the acetoacetate groups are reacted with a primary amine to form a pendant acetoacetyl amine group on the graft copolymer which serves as the pigment anchoring group. These materials are effective in dispersing and stabilizing a wide range of pigments in solvent based systems and are particularly useful in forming pigment dispersions that are used in a variety of solvent borne coating compositions for automobiles and trucks, where they provide improved efficiency of pigment use, lower paint viscosity, and reduced emission of volatile organic solvent.

Abstract: A rate feedback and adaptation scheme or system uses a rate of rate feedback asymmetrical with the rate of data rate adaptation. In particular, the rate adaptation system provides a rate of rate feedback slower than the rate of rate adaptation. Thus, by allowing the base station to change the data rate more frequently than the individual wireless units reports the rate information, the rate adaptation system can provide improved flexibility and more efficient use of wireless resources while reducing the processing and transmission overhead required to report the rate information. For example, every 3 slots, a wireless unit can calculate and report a rate for the wireless unit to use on a shared channel to send data. The base station receives the rates from the wireless units seeking to send data over the shared channel and selects a wireless unit to use the shared channel. If the base station can adapt the data rate every slot, the base station can adapt the data rate in accordance with a rate reported by another wireless unit, thereby improving system performance. Because of the small slot duration (for example, .67 microseconds), the relatively reduced rate of reporting should not adversely effect system performance since it is highly unlikely that the achievable data rate will change over a period of a slot under most operating conditions. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A computer program and a computer-implemented system and method for generating a two-dimensional image of a volume data set representing an object volume from a selectable viewpoint. An object volume data set includes voxel values ordered by voxels along a row that extends in a first direction, rows across a plane that extends in the first direction and a second direction, and planes through an object volume that extend in the first and second directions and a third direction. In response to the definition of a view vector defining a view direction with respect to a viewpoint, shear and warp mappings are determined, as is which of the first, second and third directions is closest to the view vector. Pixels of a two-dimensional sheared image having a plurality of lines of pixels are then determined from voxel values of the object volume data set identified by the shear mapping. Where the view vector is closest to the first direction, the shear mapping maps rows of voxels in the first direction onto lines of pixels of the sheared image. An output image is then determined by mapping pixels of the sheared image according to the warp mapping. This output image can be displayed, printed, sent to a remote location or otherwise communicated to a user.
