Abstract: A method of making a printing plate from a heat-sensitive PS plate of a
positive-working mode for lithographic printing includes the steps of
exposing the heat-sensitive PS plate to light and developing the PS plate
using an alkaline developing solution containing at least one surfactant
selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants and ampholytic
surfactants, and a salt selected from the group consisting of alkali metal
salts and ammonium cation salts. The PS plate has a substrate and an
image forming layer formed thereon, the image forming layer including a
lower layer which is formed on the substrate and contains a water-insoluble
and alkali-soluble resin and an upper heat-sensitive layer which is overlaid
on the lower layer and contains a water-insoluble and alkali-soluble resin
and an infrared absorption dye and exhibits an elevated solubility with
respect to alkaline aqueous solutions when heated.

Abstract: Printing masters are produced by use of an inkjet printing system. 
     The smallest halftone dot size which can be printed by the inkjet printing system is larger
than the size of a pixel of the recording grid defined by the addressability of the printing
device. 
     The error diffusion algorithm is especially adapted to make use of the high addressability of
the recording system. 
     Using a sub-dot phase modulated error diffusion halftoning algorithm allows for the distance
between the halftone dots to be modulated in much smaller increments than the size of the
halftone dots themselves. 
     Results can be further improved by dynamically influencing the threshold value in the error
diffusion algorithm in accordance with previous output quantisation determinations.
Variable coverage percentage of the pixels can be taken into account. 
     The method can be extended to multilevel systems.

Abstract: An ultrasonic sensor has a pair of ultrasound transducers and is adapted to be inserted in
and able to perform at a single site of introduction into a duct, a manifold, or a pipe. The
ultrasonic sensor measures a forward ultrasonic path transit time and a second reverse ultrasonic
path transit time of ultrasound signals propagating in a fluid. The arrangement being such that a
comparison of the signal associated with ultrasound travel in one direction with that of the signal
associated with ultrasound travel in the opposite direction enables the flow rate of the fluid in the
duct to be determined. The ultrasonic sensor may utilize a curved reflecting surface on the duct
and a reflective surface of an ultrasonic sensor end cap or housing to provide forward and reverse
ultrasonic W-shaped paths.

Abstract: A method for reading and tracking radio frequency identification (RFID) tags (112) in the presence of a noisy air channel is provided. In accordance with the method, a binary tree data structure is used to characterize a plurality of RFID tags (102a-102g), each of which is associated with a unique identification (ID) number. During communication between a tag reader (104) and one or more RFID tags (102a-102g), the tag reader (104) traverses the binary tree (3), eliminating tags from communication until one tag with a unique ID number is isolated and verified. As the binary tree is traversed, counters (260 and 265)associated with each node in the tree are incremented based on tag matches, such that, over time, counters associated with nodes in tag-populated branches will tend to have a high value and counters associated with nodes in unpopulated tree branches will tend to have low values. Where the read process is subject to noise and the tag reader is forced to make a decision at a branching node, the tag reader makes a branch prediction based on the current value of the node counters associated with each of the possible alternative branches.
