Title: Multitasking workstation
Inventor: SIRKIN MARTIN JAY
IPC: G06F11/32
Filed: 1992-05-19
Abstract: A method and system for estimating the time to completion of a task being executed on a multitasking workstation potentially subject to the commencement or termination of one or more other tasks. The invention finds particular value where the task subject to estimation requires upon its completion the intervention of the workstation user, such as by the physical act of switching diskettes. When the task to be completed is relatively time consuming, such as occurs with the transfer of compressed data from a diskette to a hard disk, the calculation of a complex spreadsheet, the compilation of a lengthy program, or the generation of elaborate graphics, the user of the workstation is particularly interested in knowing about when the task will be completed. With the advent of multitasking workstations and operating systems, a singular static estimation is substantially meaningless. The estimate determination must recognise and compensate for the fact that the central processing unit is a resource which is shared by multiple tasks. As tasks commence or terminate, the estimated time to completion varies for the task having the user's immediate interest. The method and system of the present invention uses task size, task execution rate and elapsed time to dynamically estimate the time to completion. The user is notified accordingly.

Abstract: Fresh squeezed single-strength citrus juice or other juices are homogenized under an ultra-high pressure of about 15,000 psi. Surprisingly, the ultra-high pressure homogenized juice exhibits an increased shelf life and decreased microbiological activity compared to juice homogenized under conventional pressures. The microbiological activity present in the juice is significantly reduced despite the fact that no pasteurization step is conducted. Single-strength juice processed in this manner maintains good flavor and palatability for 40 days at a storage temperature of 40°F or lower compared to less than one-half this shelf life for untreated juice.

Abstract: To provide a tape printer capable of simply printing character strings of inputted text in a variety of text row shapes, when a character string ABCD is developed into a dot pattern data according to a pattern number 1, first the lower edge of the character pattern for character A is aligned with the alignment standard position KP1 (baseline) and arranged in the print buffer. Then the character sizes of the characters B, C, and D are each increased compared to a respective previous character by the size change amount calculated in the size change amount calculation process control. With each increase, the lower edges of the character pattern is aligned with the alignment standard position KP1 and the resultant character patterns are arranged in order in the print buffer. The character string is printed in a character string shape based on the dot pattern data developed in the print buffer so that character sizes of characters in the character string ABCD gradually increase.

Abstract: A method for using a value of range rate observed by a receiver, such as a GPS receiver, to determine the coordinates of points on the surface of the earth from which this value of range rate would be observed. These coordinates are given in an earth-centered, earth-fixed (ECEF) coordinate system, and they form a locus of points of equal range rate. The coordinates of these points provide general estimates of the location of the receiver. By calculating multiple loci of points which intersect each other, a more precise determination of the location of the receiver may be made.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for monitoring the lamp current of fluorescent tubes during operation at higher frequencies. It is known that the burning voltage (operating voltage, running voltage, maintaining voltage) of a fluorescent tube, during operation at 50 Hz, has voltage peaks which show that the tube must be restarted after each zero crossing. These restarting peaks are missing during operation at higher frequencies. In this case, the tube operates with the mostly sinusoidal burning voltage. It is furthermore known that fluorescent lamps have an unreliable starting behaviour at the end of their life and glow partly stochastically (randomly). This so-called flicker is regarded as disturbing, with the result that the corresponding tube must be replaced or switched off. With the invention, those states of the tube which inevitably lead to this flicker are recognised and the tube can be switched off automatically before this disturbing effect begins. Even during high-frequency (radio-frequency) operation, a used tube has a burning voltage curve which is not precisely sinusoidal. By detecting the associated burning current, unambiguous criteria can be determined for this state at the end of the life of the tube. In addition, too high a lamp current can be detected (recognised) as a further operating state which is damaging for the tube. <IMAGE>
