Title: Franking machine
Inventor: HAUG WERNER
IPC: B41J13/12
Filed: 2001-02-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a franking machine, comprising a print head of an i nk- jet printing mechanism for printing flat postal items such as letters or postcards, which can be introduced into said mechanism or which pass through  the same. Said franking machine consists of a guiding part which is located around the print head and projects in relation to the nozzle opening plane o f said print head, and with which a conveying device is associated, said conveying device transporting the postal items between itself and conveying rollers lying opposite and rotating about axes that are located crosswise to  the conveying direction. Said conveying device has two drive-connected drivi ng rollers which together with the guiding part, form a path of travel. The driving rollers are located in front of and behind the print head in relatio n to the conveying direction. A reversibly liftable counter-pressure roller located opposite exerts a pressure on each driving roller, respectively, or on a postal item being transported in-between. A roller feeler (39, 119) which is driven by the passing postal item and which is associated with an encoder device (122) is located between the driving rollers (13, 15; 127, 113) in order to monitor the speed and position of a postal item being transported o r for controllingthe pressure on a postal item.

A kit and apparatus for performing the method are also provided.
Patent CA-2371452-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SATTERFIELD RICHARD C
IPC: H04L9/06
Filed: 1999-05-18
Abstract: The plaintext is partitioned, block-by-block, the block size being a user selectable power of 2 in size (step 1). The data bytes in the input block ar e selected M bytes at a time, where M >= 2, with permuted addressing to for m a single concatenated data byte, CDB. The CDB is modified by rotating (or barr el shifting) a random bit distance (step 7). The CDB may also be modified befor e or after rotation by simple arithmetic/logic operations (step 12). After modification, the CDB is broken up into M bytes and each of the M bytes is placed into the output block with permuted addressing (step 4). The output block, or ciphertext, may again be used as an input block and the process repeated with a new output block. This scheme may be used as an encryption method by itself or in conjunction with other block encryption methods. The latter may be accomplished by using this scheme between successive stages of  other encryption methods on blocked data, or between an internal stage of th e other methods. The sources of random number (step 2) used to determine the distance for the random rotation operation can be from: a pseudo-random numb er generator, sampled music CD-ROMs, entries in tables arrays, buffers, or any other digital source.

Inventor: MASINO JAMES
IPC: E21B49/08
Filed: 2002-10-25
Abstract: A measurement device is provided that determines fluid properties from vibration frequencies of a sample cavity. In one embodiment, the measurement device includes a sample flow tube, vibration source and detector mounted on the tube, and a measurement module. The sample flow tube receives a flow of sample fluid for characterization. The measurement module employs the vibration sources to generate vibrations in the tube. The measurement module combines the signals from the vibration detector on the tube to determine properties of the sample fluid, such as density, viscosity, compressibility, water fraction, and bubble size. The measurement module may further detect certain flow patterns such as slug flow, for example. To measure the sample fluid density, the measurement module determines the resonant frequency of the sample flow tube. The density can then be calculated according to a formula that compensates for the temperature and pressure of the system. Other fluid properties may be determined from the sample tube's resonance peak amplitude, peak width and/or peak shape. Variation of the density measurements may be used to detect and characterize multiple phase fluid flow. The use of a vibration source and detector are arranged in a manner that greatly enhances the accuracy and reliability of the measurement device over a range of temperatures, pressures, and shock accelerations such as those that may be found downhole in a well.
