Title: Method of producing a high gloss coating on a printed surface
Inventor: FRAZZITTA FRANK V
IPC: B41M7/02
Filed: 2000-08-10
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for producing a high gloss coating on a printed surface. An aqueous coating composition in pan (1) is deposited onto a surface to be printed using rollers (3, 5) and coating cylinder (9) whose blanket roller coating face has a low energy, non-stick, smooth surface profile on which coating blanket (7) is formed. Simultaneous with the deposition of aqueous coating onto a substrate, or shortly thereafter, pressure between cylinders (9, 10) at nip (11), either alone or in combination with heat may be applied to the coating in order to create a substantially tack-free surface conforming to the surface of the coating face. The substrate is fed to cylinder (10), via cylinder (15) and removed by cylinder (16). By using a highly polished coating face, high gloss coatings may be obtained using this methodlogy in a number of traditional printing techniques including wet trap inline sheet-fed printing, heat-set offset printing, dry trap inline flexographic printing, offset web-fed printing and gravure printing. Coatings which are produced utilizing the present invention have high gloss values heretofore unobtainable using aqueous coating compositions.

Abstract: A wavelength tunable light source equipment provided with an external resonator light source having a wavelength selection structure inside it and lasing by a wavelength selected by this and a light path changer introducing at least part of the light emitted from the external resonator light source and including a spontaneous emitted light ingredient to the wavelength selection structure so that a wavelength of the light emitted from the external resonator light source and a wavelength selected by the wavelength selection structure become synchronized. Of the light emitted from the external resonator light source, the light introduced to the wavelength selection structure through the light path changer and emitted from it is made the output light. Due to this configuration, it is possible to reduce the resonator loss of the external resonator light source to stabilize the oscillation in the laser resonator, increase the intensity of the output light with the suppressed spontaneous emitted light ingredient, and finely adjust and freely change the relationship between the intensity of the output light including the spontaneous emitted light ingredient and the intensity of the output light with the suppressed spontaneous emitted light ingredient.

Abstract: An insulator ring for preventing short circuit contact between the opposite polarity electrode in a case-terminal cell design is described. Typically, a lithium/silver vanadium oxide cell is built in a case-negative design with the casing serving at the negative terminal. The cathode is connected to an insulated terminal pin. In a conventional cell construction, the electrode assembly is enclosed in an insulator bag in addition to the electrode separator envelopes before being housed inside the casing. The insulator bag ensures the cathode electrode will not come into short circuit contact with the casing. In the present invention, the insulator bag is replaced with an insulator ring which only protects those portions of the electrode assembly vulnerable to short circuit contact.

Abstract: A memory is successively searched using the contents of a header included in a data packet in order to select a forwarding entry for the data packet. The searches use a header field for a different protocol layer. A next field stored in a forwarding entry is used to determine if another search is required. The data packet is forwarded according to the forwarding override stored in the selected forwarding entry selected from the final successive search. The received data packet is forwarded to a host processor, through the switch, to both the host processor and through the switch, or the received data packet is not forwarded, dependent on the selected forward override.

Title: Method and apparatus for optimized image processing
Inventor: JEFFREY DWAYNE THOMAS
IPC: G06K15/00
Filed: 2001-11-16
Abstract: An image processing system for digital printing for improving throughput and efficiency of the transfer of image data to imaging devices, such as lasers, while allowing for dynamic and continuous adjustment of image size and registration (i.e., alignment) on recording media. A buffer memory structure is configured to receive data from raw image files. Specific portions of data are copied from the raw image files into a buffer memory structure and, for compilation of the final image, into an image buffer. Image overlap is resolved by copying data into the image buffer according to a defined hierarchy. Using a phase locked loop, image size and registration are adjusted to optimize the appearance of the final image on the recording medium. The optimization is performed dynamically and continuously, thereby providing a uniform final image. Many aspects of the operation of the image processing system may be under the control of a digital computer.

Abstract: A configuration change management system is provided. The configuration change management system includes a configuration information repository and a human-machine interface for interacting with field-installed communications network entities and versions of communications network entity specific configuration information stored in repository entries.  Methods of managing configuration changes include: retrieving configuration information from communications network entities; storing thereof under version control in repository entries; comparing at least one retrieved repository entry from the configuration change management repository; and retrieved configuration information from field-installed communications network entities; and submitting, for reconfiguration, of at least one field installed communications network entity selected configuration information held in a selected repository entry. Advantages are derived from: a centralized tracking and storage of configuration information under version control, and the ability to compare versions of communications network entity configurations, reducing equipment downtime at reduced communications network management overheads. Further advantages are derived from an efficient method of debugging communications network entity configuration problems.      The methods and system further enable easy migration of communications network entities to newer software/firmware releases, and provisioning a replacement communications network equipment.

Title: Asynchronous primed pcr
Inventor: EGHOLM MICHAEL
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2001-06-06
Abstract: An asynchronous thermal cycling protocol for nucleic acid amplification uses  two primers with thermal melting temperatures different by about 10 to 30 ~C . After the higher melting primer has annealed and polymerase mediated extension, the uncopied, single-stranded target sequence may be hybridized a nd detected by a probe. DNA probes may be cleaved by the exonuclease activity o f a polymerase. The probe may be a non-cleaving analog such as PNA. When a pro be is labelled with a reporter dye and a quencher selected to undergo energy transfer, e.g. FRET, fluorescence from the reporter dye may be effectively quenched when the probe is unbound. Upon hybridization of the probe to complementary target or upon cleavage while bound to target, the reporter dy e is no longer quenched, resulting in a detectable amount of fluorescence. The  second, lower-melting primer may be annealed and extended to generate a doub le- stranded nucleic acid. Amplification may be monitored in real time, includin g each cycle, or at the end point. The asynchronous PCR thermal cycling protoc ol can generate a preponderance of the PCR amplicon in single-stranded form by repetition at the end of the protocol of annealing and extension of the high er melting primer.
