Inventor: HAWKINS GILBERT A
IPC: B41J2/045
Filed: 2001-10-15
Abstract: For an inkjet printhead (10) with integral compensation for
misdirection of ink drops (37) ejected through at least one nozzle (24) of the
printhead (10), a system and method of modifying the nozzle cavity space (32a) so
as to compensate for the effects of defects in the printhead (10) by altering the
direction the ejected ink drops (37). The inkjet printhead (10) comprises at least
one reservoir (28) integrated within the membrane (30). The inkjet printhead (10)
also comprises a channel (38) extending from the reservoir (28) and terminating in
the nozzle cavity (32). A hardening substance (40) within the reservoir (28) and
channel (38) is a plastic material having a high thermal expansion coefficient. An
internal heater (48) within the reservoir (28) and adjacent the hardening substance
(40) is adapted to cause the plastic material (40) to flow in order to form a
protrusion (44) of plastic material (40) within the nozzle cavity space (32a).
Alternatively, the plastic material (40) can be recessed within the channel (38).
Thus, the hardening substance (40) is adapted to internally alter the nozzle cavity
space (32a) and cause ink (34) ejected from the nozzle opening (26) to be
deflected with regard to a desired amount of compensation.

Inventor: GIBSON DESMOND
IPC: H05H1/46
Filed: 2001-04-11
Abstract: A plasma source comprises a thermionic emitter material (2) heated by an induction coil
(7), which also provides radiofrequency energy within an electrically insulated cylindrical
former (1). A cylindrical anode (10) is concentric with the emitter (2) and axially
displaced therefrom, generating a potential difference between anode (10) and emitter
(2). The potential difference between anode (2) and ground and axial magnetic fields
causes the plasma to be extracted from the source. The emitter (2) is held at negative
potential via a conductive support (5). Process gas is introduced near the emitter (2) and
a secondary gas injected in the anode space. Radiofrequency excitation of the emitter
generates electrons via thermionic and field effects, resulting in efficient plasma
generation. Both electron generation effects contribute to a broad energy spectrum of
electrons, providing effective neutralisation of the plasma. Moreover, the time varying
axial magnetic field induced by the induction coil in the vicinity of the emitter (2) provides
enhancement of plasma generation and confinement of the plasma to minimise erosion
of the emitter (2).

Abstract: A splitterless interface between a digital subscriber line (DSL) and the central office equipment that can receive and isolate the low frequency voice data and high frequency digital data from a telephone line. This interface can also mix and transmit low frequency voice data and high frequency digital data onto a telephone line. For POTS band frequencies, a reactive impedance coupled across the input of the POTS line card, and serially coupled to the line side of the DSL coupling transformer, has an open state magnitude. The magnitude of the line side windings of the DSL coupling transforrner is low at POTS band frequencies. POTS band signal power is therefore delivered to the POTS line card. For DSL band frequencies, the reactive impedance across the input of the POTS line card has an closed state magnitude. The POTS line card is therefore essentially short-circuited at DSL band frequencies, and DSL band signal power is delivered to the DSL modem. The frequency band in which the reactive impedance transitions from an open state magnitude to a closed state magnitude corresponds to the frequency band between the POTS frequency band and the DSL frequency band. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention teaches a method for use in a wideband CDMA telecommunications
system wherein the base station (BS) utilizes transmit antenna diversity. The method
enables the user equipment (UE) to perform a channel estimate for channels received
from two antennas of the base station (BS), and includes steps of: (a) computing an
estimated phase difference between a common pilot channel and a dedicated pilot
channel received from one antenna of the two antennas; and (b) determining the channel
estimate by rotating a common pilot channel estimate according to the estimated phase
difference, where the phase difference is computed as a complex coefficient between the
common pilot channel and the dedicated pilot channel. In a second aspect this invention
teaches a method for use in a transmit antenna diversity system for enabling the UE to
verify an antenna phase shift previously signaled by the UE to the BS. This method
includes a first step of: (a) exploiting prior knowledge of BS rotation angle by
considering a vector  x  that includes all hypotheses for complex rotation coefficients of
the BS with respect to all possible rotation angles, in accordance with a decision rule for
an estimation of a complex rotation coefficient. A second step of the method evaluates
a cost function of a hypothesis m by considering the prior knowledge.

Abstract: "ANALOG CONTROL MECHANISM"  through which a mechanical movement is converted
into an electrical dimension (voltage or current). It uses the principle of the total or partial
variation of a magnetic field through the movement of an electrical conducting object relative to
a set of energising and receiving coils. The operating principle behind this invention is based on
the shielding of the magnetic flux lines that emerge from the poles of an emitting coil and, to a
greater or lesser extent, reach a receiving coil. Basically, it consists of an analog control
mechanism or sensor which converts spatial movement into an electric current or voltage
variation which may or may not be linear. This invention solves the disadvantages of physical
wear and tear seen in similar existing devices as there is no contact between the parts that make
up the system of control. There are numerous fields of application, including a specific
application for controlling the volume of an audio-frequency system.
