Abstract: An image forming system including a print head (150) having
plurality of micromachined ink channel pistons (250), and method of assembling
the system. The system comprises a piston for pressurizing an ink body (220) so
that an ink meniscus (240) extends from the ink body. An ink droplet separator

Abstract: A cooling system for turbomachinery includes a compressor bleed air
passageway (42) for supplying bleed cooling air to a plurality of
circumferentially spaced, generally axially extending passages (44) in
communication with a cavity (38) within the inner barrel (39) in which the
flanges (34, 36) of the turbine and compressor rotors are secured to one
another. The exit ends of the passages have swirl devices (50) for turning the
flow from the general axial direction to a tangential direction corresponding to
the direction of rotation of the combined rotors. A leakage seal (48) is
provided between the rotor and the stationary component to provide a
pressure drop across a plenum and cavity to increase the velocity of air
flowing into the cavity. Consequently, cooling air is supplied the cavity at a
tangential velocity approaching the rotor velocity with reduced windage and
lower temperature, thereby improving the performance of the turbomachinery.

Abstract: A vehicular velocity controlling section controls a
vehicular driving force to make a detected value of the
vehicular velocity (V) substantially equal to a set
vehicular velocity (Vset). A first switch (SET/COAST
switch) and a second switch (RESUME/ACCELERATE switch) are
each enabled to be interlocked with a predetermined
operation of at least one switching member (a lever or push
buttons) at a position such as to match with a driver's
sense of vehicular manipulation. A set vehicular velocity
modifying section modifies the set vehicular velocity
(Vset) in such a manner that the detected vehicular
velocity (V) is set as the set vehicular velocity (Vset)
when at least one of the following conditions is
established: when the duration of the predetermined
operation of the first switch is at least equal to a first
predetermined duration, e.g. 350 msec, and the detected
vehicular velocity (V) is lower than the set vehicular
velocity (Vset); and when the duration of the predetermined
operation of the second switch is at lest equal to a second
predetermined duration, e.g. 350 msec, and the detected
vehicular velocity (V) is higher than the set vehicular
velocity (Vset).

Abstract: A method and system for reducing delay in wireless communications by use of a burst
based access and assignment system. The method for setting up a communication channel uses
short burst(s) (essentially a slot of a time frame). Time is saved by keeping the uplink and
downlink channels flexible and independent of each other. Thus less time is used trying to fit all
requests and responses into constrained choices as in previous protocols. The result is less delay
to the mobile user and greater usage density for the wireless service provider.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé/opérateur permettant d'ajuster des mesures au cours du traitement dans un cube de données multidimensionnel. L'opérateur « profondeur de champ » en ligne de l'invention fait varier la densité des points dans une représentation du cube multidimensionnel. Cet opérateur peut être appliqué à toute collection de dimensions et de relations supportées par ces dimensions, au moyen de structures hiérarchiques permettant de réguler les ajustements. Cet opérateur permet d'expérimenter en ligne la définition des relations au cours du traitement multidimensionnel, contrôlant ainsi le résultat du processus de synthèse. L'opérateur peut s'utiliser pour égaliser des attributs en fonction de leurs positions hiérarchiques lors du traitement des mesures dans un hypercube. En outre, il peut s'utiliser pour révéler des dépendances cachées entre variables lorsqu'on travaille sur des mesures avec des niveaux de granularité différents. Tel est le cas dans le traitement de données de santé pour des individus ou des relations hétérogènes provenant de sources différentes, telles qu'une combinaison de mesures concernant des individus, leurs ancêtres et l'environnement. Les procédés de l'invention sont génériques, s'appliquent à toute conception de dépôt de données et permettent le traitement analytique en ligne (OLAP) pour une gamme plus étendue de données et de structures par rapport aux schémas d'application actuels.
