Title: Printing and mailbox system for shared users with bins almost full sensing
Inventor: SANCHEZ HECTOR J
IPC: B65H39/11
Filed: 1996-02-22
Granted: 1999-07-13
Abstract: In a networked or other shared users electronic printing system for printing plural print jobs of plural printed sheets of the different users, with a printer mailbox having a sheet distribution system for automatically directing and stacking into different individual mailbox bins, which are electronically assigned to different respective users, the respective print jobs of the respective users, a bin almost-full sensing system detects and signals that the stacking level of the printed sheets in the bin has reached a preset almost-full level which is less than the preset limited sheet full stacking capacity of the bin. A connecting mailbox control system may indicate to that user at that users remote terminal that only a preset limited further number of printed sheets may be directed to that same bin upon the actuation of the bin almost-full sensing system, and provide several user options, and/or automatically control the mailbox sheet distribution system to direct subsequent print jobs or a split portion of a print job to a different mailbox bin, or a higher sheet stacking capacity overflow bin.

Title: Method for preparing alkylbenzoic acid
Inventor: KIDA KOICHI
IPC: C07C51/44
Filed: 1996-10-30
Granted: 2007-03-27
Abstract: A method for preparing an alkylbenzoic acid is herein disclosed which comprises subjecting an alkylbenzene having at least two alkyl groups of 1 to 3 carbon atoms to a liquid phase oxidative reaction with a molecular oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a soluble heavy metal catalyst to convert one alkyl group into a carboxylic acid, thereby preparing the alkylbenzoic acid, and impurities contained in the alkylbenzene recovered from the reaction solution are removed therefrom by distillation, water washing, alkali washing, a treatment with an anion exchange resin or a treatment with a solid adsorbent, and the impurities-free fraction is reused as a raw material. Furthermore, the conversion of the desired product is regulated to 25% or less in the liquid phase oxidative reaction, whereby the reaction is carried out in a boiling heat removal state and reaction heat is removed as the heat of vaporization. Thus, there can be decreased a dicarboxylic acid secondarily produced during the manufacture of the alkyl-benzoic acid which is a monocarboxylic acid by subjecting the alkylbenzene to the liquid phase oxidation, whereby problems such as the trouble of equipment operation and the deterioration of product quality can be solved.

Abstract: A method for forming a solar collector includes a panel provided with an inner bore and a deformable metal tube inserted in the bore and mechanically secured thereto by passing a plug or bullet through the tube to deform it outwardly into intimate contact with the panel such as to maximize the heat transfer therebetween and to substantially eliminate any possibility of corrosion by keeping the tube in constant compression. The tube can carry a liquid, such as water or glycol, which is heated by the panel exposed to radiant solar heat. The so formed solar collector typically uses a copper tube and an extruded aluminum panel. A number of parallel conduits connected at their opposite ends to common main inlet and outlet copper pipes may be provided with the panels of adjacent conduits mating together while allowing for relative movement therebetween but without the forming of gaps therebetween.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif d'anticipation et de codage d'une image qui sont considérablement plus perfectionnés quant à l'efficacité de la conversion par rapport aux techniques conventionnelles. L'invention concerne également un procédé et un dispositif d'anticipation et de décodage d'image. L'invention concerne enfin un support d'enregistrement sur lequel sont enregistrés le procédé d'anticipation et de codage d'image ainsi que le procédé d'anticipation et de décodage d'image. Avec le dispositif et selon le procédé d'anticipation et de codage d'image, les données d'image fournies en entrée sont divisées en données d'image correspondant à une pluralité de petites zones adjacentes. Lorsque les données d'image d'une petite zone à traiter sont codées à partir des données d'image des petites zones adjacentes, les données d'image déjà reproduites d'une petite zone adjacente aux données d'image de la petite zone à traiter sont considérées comme les données d'image anticipée constitutives d'image de la petite zone. Ensuite, les données d'image anticipée constitutive de l'image sont considérées comme les données d'image anticipée optimales. On génère ensuite les données d'image d'une petite zone différentielle qui est la différence entre les données d'image de la petite sont à traiter et les données d'image de petite zone optimale anticipée. Après la génération, les données d'image de la petite zone différentielle sont codées et remises en sortie, et, en même temps, les données d'image reproduite de la petite zone reproduite sont générées par décodage des données d'image générée de la petite zone différentielle et par addition des données d'image de la petite zone différentielle aux données d'image de la petite zone optimale anticipée à anticiper.

Title: Echantillonneur/bloqueur pipelinise a double echantillonnage correle
Inventor: ALLEN MAX J
IPC: G11C27/02
Filed: 1997-11-19
Granted: 2002-04-02
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un échantillonneur/bloqueur permettant d'effectuer un double échantillonnage corrélé (CSD) sur un signal d'entrée comportant une architecture pipelinisée d'échantillonneur/bloqueur comprenant un circuit amplificateur intégrateur multiplexé dont le circuit de sortie est un circuit échantillonneur/bloqueur pipelinisé fournissant des échantillons du signal d'entrée à multiplexage temporel et dont le condensateur d'intégration rétroactive se décharge entre les échantillons. A tout moment l'un des canaux du circuit échantillonneur/bloqueur pipelinisé fournit l'un des échantillons du signal d'entrée à multiplexage temporel, tandis que l'autre canal continue à suivre le signal d'entrée. Le condensateur d'intégration de rétroaction sert de verrou annulant le bruit résiduel de remise à zéro reçu faisant partie du signal d'entrée à échantillonner. De ce fait, à l'exception de la très courte période nécessaire pour la commutation entre les deux canaux de l'échantillonneur/bloqueur pipelinisé, l'un de ces canaux reste toujours disponible pour l'acquisition de signaux.

Title: Data transmission in a mobile network
Inventor: RAUTANEN ESKO T
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1998-04-09
Granted: 2006-06-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for implementing transmission in a mobile network in which base stations (BTS) communicate through a transmission network with a base station controller (BSC) and through a radio path with mobile stations (MS). In order that the transmission of the fixed part of the mobile network may be implemented in a simpler way than heretofore, a common transmission link (TL) is established between several base stations and their common base station controller, a combining network element (41, 42) being located at least at one point of the transmission link, in which network element signals arriving from different base stations are combined in a time slot basis for incorporation into the time slots of the frame structure used on the transmission link in such a way that the signal of the base station to which the time slot in question is allocated passes through the network element unchanged. Channels are allocated from the frame of the common transmission link (TL) for the use of the radio channels dynamically in such a way that any one of several different radio channels can use a specific channel on the transmission link.
