Abstract: A computerized system for monitoring, diagnosing, operating, and controlling
various parameters and processes of basket centrifuges is presented. The computer
control system actuates at least one of a plurality of control devices based on input from
one or more monitoring sensors so as to provide real time, continuous, operational
control of parameters related to feeding, filtering, washing, and dewatering. The
monitoring sensors may sense other parameters, including machine operation
parameters, and parameters related to the input and output streams of the centrifuge.
Such control systems in combination with basket centrifuges are also presented. In a
particularly preferred embodiment, the apparatus comprises a basket centrifuge with at
least one sensor for providing input which is analyzed to provide information regarding
optimal feed throughput rate and the average cake moisture at a given time. As a result
of the analysis, at least one output may be generated to activate a control device that
effects changes in feed rates, feed solids concentration, amount of wash, speed and
duration of each segment in the cycle, total cycle time, temperature, torque, rpm, power
consumption, and cake height.

Abstract: An ink cartridge insertion mechanism for an ink jet printer is capable of absorbing ink that might
leak from an ink supply needle (31) after an ink cartridge has been removed. The ink supply unit
of the ink jet printer has an ink absorption and needle protection device (70) including an ink
absorption material (74) for absorbing ink leaking from the ink supply needle (31) and/or from a
waste ink needle (35) of the ink supply unit when no ink cartridge is installed. The ink absorption
material (74) also protects the needles (31, 35). When an ink cartridge is inserted, a pivot
plate (73) causes the entire ink absorption and needle protection device (70) to pivot away from
the needles (31, 35) to a retracted position, thus exposing the needles and preventing any
interference with ink cartridge loading. When the ink cartridge is subsequently removed, torsion
springs (75, 76) urge the pivot plate (73) back to the original horizontal ink absorption position.

Title: A transmission power control method using a pilot symbol pattern
Inventor: ARIMITSU KAZUHIRO
IPC: H04W28/06
Filed: 1999-09-29
Abstract: A mobile station controls transmission power in accordance with a pattern of a pilot symbol. The mobile station includes a transmission power controller to indicate a transmission power amplifier to change transmission power in response to a pattern of the pilot symbol included in symbol data decoded by a decoder. The TPC symbol to control transmission power becomes therefore unnecessary, and hence the symbol rate can be increased by increasing the logical channel symbols. With three or more pilot symbol patterns, the transmission power control steps are increased to more flexibly control transmission power as compared with the power control operation using one TPC symbol.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that
efficiently propagates changes in hierarchically organized data to remotely cached
copies of the data. The system operates by receiving changes (402) to the data
located on the server (204), and applying (404) the changes to the data on the
server (204). These changes are propagated to remotely cached copies of the data
on a client (206, 208, 210, 212) in response to an event on a server, and
independently of events on the client, by (1) determining differences (406)
between the current version of the data at the server and an older copy of the data
at the client, which the server has stored locally; (2) using the differences to
construct (408) an update for the copy of the data, which may include node
insertion and node deletion operations for hierarchically organized nodes in the
data; and (3) sending (410) the update to the client where the update is applied to
the copy of the data to produce an updated copy of the data. According to one
aspect of the present invention, the act of determining differences, and the act of
using the differences to construct the update both take place during a single pass
through the data. According to another aspect of the present invention, the update
for the copy of the data may include node copy, node move, node collapse, node
split, node swap and node update operations.
