Abstract: A paper feeding apparatus according to the present invention has a
pickup roller, which includes a drive shaft disposed so as to cross a sheet tray and
a plurality of roller parts intermittently attached to the drive shaft, and elastic
supporting means, which substantially independently supports a plurality of
exposed parts of the drive shaft so as to apply pressure towards a base plate of
the sheet tray. In the paper feeding apparatus, respective exposed parts of the
drive shaft, which has a narrow diameter and being flexible, are independently
pressurized towards the sheet tray of the base plate, so that the respective roller
parts contact tightly with the sheets substantially independently. Accordingly,
sheets can be fed with high reliability by making the most of the flexibility of the
drive shaft. The extremely slim and highly reliable paper feeding apparatus with
the extremely slim pickup roller is provided. By stacking a plurality of these
paper feeding apparatuses, a compact multitray can be provided.

Abstract: Amounts of expendables consumed by a printer are sensed accurately.
A job control unit 106 transfers a print job queued in job buffer 107 to a spooler
105, in page units. Spooler 105 sends the print job to a printer PT, as well as
providing a completion determination unit 103 with notification of start of
printing. Upon receiving notification of start of printing, the completion
determination unit monitors the status of the printer PT and remaining data
in the spooler 105, and in the event that printer PT status is "ready to print"
and there is no remaining data in the spooler 105, decides that printing has
completed, and counts the number of sheets of paper. An ink amount
measurement unit 104, by means of predetermined correcting means, corrects
the amount of ink consumed during printing, so as to approximate the amount
of ink actually used in printing. A server SV is notified of the number of
sheets of paper and the corrected amount of ink consumed, whereupon the
server performs a billing process.

Abstract: Detecting, avoiding and/or correcting problematic puncturing patterns in parity bit streams used when implementing punctured Turbo codes is achieved without having to avoid desirable code rates. This enables identification/avoidance of regions of relatively poor Turbo code performance. Forward error correction comprising Turbo coding and puncturing achieves a smooth functional relationship between any measure of performance and the effective coding rate resulting from combining the lower rate code generated by the Turbo encoder (600) with puncturing of the parity bits. In one embodiment, methods to correct/avoid degradations due to Turbo coding are implemented by puncturing interactions when two or more stages of rate matching (610, 620) are employed.
