Abstract: A portable medication cartridge allows for both manual and automated dispensing
of tablets or capsules of virtually all sizes through a radial dispensing apparatus. The
cartridge may be sealed and encoded with medication and patient identification. A
microprocessor controlled medication dispensing apparatus includes a cartridge magazine
capable of holding a plurality of cartridges for the same or different patients. The
portable medication dispensing apparatus and method detects patient identification data
and activates a radial dispensing medication cartridge in response to verification of
patient identification data. The radial dispensing medication cartridge may include, for
example, a tablet tray having a plurality of tablet stalls with at least a partially open top
and side. The tablet and tray accommodates different sizes and types of tablets or
capsules. A temporary tablet retention band is removably attached to the table tray to
keep the tablets tray from exiting the open side of the tablet tray until the tablet tray is
suitably filled and later inserted into the dispensing medication cartridge. The medication
is sequentially advanced and allowed to radially dispense through an open side of the
tablet tray from the medication cartridge.

Abstract: A timing signal generating system has a clock signal generating circuit (4), a synchronizing circuit (2), a phase code recognizing circuit (31), and a calibration circuit (32). The clock signal generating circuit (4) generates at least one first clock signal (CLK1) upon receipt of at least one reference clock signal (CLK0) by controlling an output phase thereof with a digital code signal. The synchronizing circuit (2) hands over signals (DATA) between a group of circuits operated by the first clock signal (CLK1) and an internal circuit (5) operated by a second clock signal (CLK2). The phase code recognizing circuit (31) recognizes a phase code (PC) when the phases of the first clock signal (CLK1) and of the second clock signal (CLK2) are in a particular relationship. The calibration circuit (32) calibrates a relationship between a value of the recognized phase code (PC) and a phase difference between the first and second clock signals (CLK1, CLK2). The synchronizing circuit (2) is controlled by using phase code data calibrated by the calibration circuit.

tube (122) to migrate from essentially the midway point of
the chamber (150) to an end wall, around the baffle (124,130), and
then back toward the midway point before entering
the outer tube (126). In a preferred embodiment, the
evaporation chamber (150) is in the shape of a right
cylinder (138) closed by a pair of end plates (136), and is
covered with a protective sleeve (140) to protect the
evaporation chamber from dents and scratches.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are related to navigating through content on a device that includes stored information that is organized according to channels. Content that is associated with the channels is selected and viewed on a display of the device using at least four selectors. The selectors are mapped to specific functions based on an operating state, mode, or view of the device. The device includes a current operating state that may correspond to a channel splash, a channel view, an extended view, and a mode splash operating state. Selectors have consistent interaction in the device for the channel splash and mode splash operating states, while certain selectors are mapped to context specific functions for the other operating states. The context specific functionality allows great flexibility in the behavior of the device.

Abstract: A DMT modem (40) is disclosed, in which a combined time domain equalizer and per-tone equalizer is applied to a received DMT signal. The combined equalizer includes a first FFT function (44) that is applied to a set of samples in a time-domain signal after the application of a time domain equalizer (42). The first FFT function (44) produces an initial FFT result, that is accumulated with a sliding FFT (46) performed upon difference values between the time domain samples. The sliding FFT results are applied to a per-tone equalizer (48) which applies a set of complex coefficients determined in training of the modem. A simple 1-tap FEQ (50) then can recover the signal. The combined equalizer enables per-tone equalization, in a manner that is compatible with conventional DSL training standards. According to an embodiment, the per-tone equalization is performed only on selected tones of the multitone signal.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus such as a printer has: an image forming unit which forms an electrostatic latent image onto a charged photosensitive drum, deposits toner onto the image, and forms a visible image; a belt arranged so as to run freely in contact with the image forming unit; a temperature sensor which detects a temperature of the belt; and a controller which controls an image forming process on the basis of the detected temperature. Since the belt temperature is detected and the printing process is controlled on the basis of the detected temperature, an increase in temperature of the drum and an increase in temperature in the printer can be suppressed. Thus, the flowability of the toner in each image forming unit does not deteriorates and image quality can be improved.
