Patent EP-0849187-A3 (EP)
IPC: B65D43/02
Filed: 1997-12-15
Abstract: A disposable dome lid (10) is provided for use with a drinking cup such beverage
cups used for the sale of hot and cold beverages. The top surface (12) of a dome lid (10) is
elevated above the top surface of the beverage cup rim, when in place. The dome
lid (10) is configured so as to make a plug fit onto the beverage cup by the beverage cup
rim extending into a downwardly facing recess (18) formed for that purpose. A side
surface (14) depends downwardly from a substantially planar top surface (12) of the lid (10), and
is inset from the cup rim engaging recess (18). A portion of the side surface (14) is displaced
outwardly towards the outer periphery of the dome lid, and thus provides a surface (44)
for engaging the lower lip of the mouth of the user. A tear-back flap (36) is defined by
fault lines stamped into the top surface and a "U"-shaped hinge (50) formed in the top
surface. When the tear-back flap (36) is folded back, a locking stub (54) extends downwardly
into a locking recess (56) formed in the top surface (12) of the lid, and a drink-through
opening (60) is thereby created in the top of the dome lid near the outer periphery
thereof, for easy drinking access to the beverage in the cup.

Abstract: A method for allowing flexible multiple access to a
serial bus by a plurality of circuit boards. Before a circuit
board can be used on a common serial bus with other circuit boards,
a unique software address must be assigned to each circuit board.
The unique software address is assigned by having a bus master
device issue Assign Address commands which utilizes a unique serial
number which is stored on each circuit board. The Assign Address
command queries each of the circuit boards coupled to the serial
bus and assigns a unique software address to each circuit board
that fully responds. The Assign Address command is repeated for
each circuit board on the serial bus until all of the circuit
boards on the serial bus have been assigned a unique software
address.

Abstract: Imaging apparatus and method adapted to control ink droplet
volume and void formation. The apparatus (10) includes an ink jet print head (45)
having a nozzle (110) for ejecting an ink droplet (150) therefrom. A heater
element (130) is in heat transfer communication with the ink droplet for variably
supplying heat energy to the ink droplet, so that the volume of the ink droplet is
controlled as the heat energy is variably supplied to the ink droplet. A controller
(40) is connected to the heater element for variably controlling the heat energy
supplied to the ink droplet. The controller variably controls the heat energy by
variably controlling a plurality of voltage pulses sequentially supplied to the heater
element. Moreover, in order to reduce the potential for void formation in the ink
droplet, the pulses are spaced-apart by a predetermined delay interval. Suitable
control of ink droplet volume and delay interval between pulses results in uniform
print density and "gray-scaling" of each dot or pixel in the output image and also
precludes void formation.

Abstract: An electrical connector is plugged onto an electrical device that
has a hollow sleeve and an annular bonnet that has an outer electrical contact
ring. The electrical connector includes an annular insulator, a lower
elastomeric seal ring, a combination seal and contact member, a shielded
conductor to carry an electrical signal out of the electrical connector and a
flanged metal guard ring. The combination seal and contact member has a
non-conductive elastomeric annulus and a conductive elastomeric portion that
are co-molded to provide a unitary annular part. The annulus has a flanged
upper end that is bonded to the flanged guard ring and a thinner lower end
that has a plurality of axially spaced circumferential flexible sealing lips that
biasingly engage the bonnet above the outer electrical contact ring. The
conductive elastomeric portion is made of a non-conductive elastomeric
material that has conductive particles widely dispersed throughout the material
so that the conductive elastomeric portion exhibits a high electrical resistance
in the uncompressed state that diminishes when the elastomeric portion is
compressed by the outer electrical contact ring of the bonnet so that the
conductive elastomeric portion acts as an electrical conductor that connects the
contact ring and the conductor electrically. The lower elastomeric seal ring
has a plurality of axially spaced flexible circumferential sealing lips that
biasingly engage the bonnet so that the electrical connector sealingly engages
the bonnet below as well as above the contact ring and the conductive
elastomeric portion of the combination seal and contact member.

Abstract: A method of, and an apparatus for, operating an optical modulator (8) are described. The
modulator is of a type having an optical attenuation versus voltage response which is
cyclic and which includes an input (34) to which the application of a bias voltage (v bias )
moves the modulator's response along the voltage axis to maintain the modulator's
response at a desired voltage position. The apparatus comprises a bias voltage generator
(32) for generating a bias voltage (v bias ) which comprises the sum of a first (v fixed ) and a
second (v var ) voltage component. The first component (v fixed ) is fixed during normal
operation and is selected to correspond to the expected bias voltage required for
maintaining the modulator's response at a desired voltage position. The apparatus further
comprises means (28, 30) for detecting the position of the modulator's response and
adjusting the second voltage component (v var ) to maintain the response at the desired
voltage position. Additionally the apparatus includes means (42) for detecting when the
bias voltage (v bias ) approaches the limit of the available bias voltage range; means (36) for
adjusting the first voltage component (v fixed ) until it is equal to the sum of the bias voltage
and a voltage corresponding to one or more half cycles of the modulator's response; and
means (38) for setting the second voltage component (v var ) to zero.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining the types of expansion cards connected
to the expansion slot connectors of a computer system. Detect signals are provided to
decode logic for determining the types of expansion cards connected to the computer
system. Ifthe expansion cards are compatible the decode logic produces an output power
supply signal that indicates what the voltage level should be for the power supply to the
cards. If the cards are incompatible, the decode logic may not provide power to any of
the cards or only provide power to some ofthe cards that are compatible. For computers
that allow expansion cards to connect to the computer while the computer is powered on,
hot-plug logic cooperates with the decode logic to establish power and communication
with newly connected interface cards. The connectors in the computer do not include
keys and thus interface cards without keys, as well as cards with different types of key
arrangements can be connected to and communicate with the computer. A removable
keyed adapter can be mated with the expansion slot connectors to effectively provide keys
to the expansion slot connectors to ensure reliable connections between the interface cards
and expansion slot connectors. The adapters can be keyed in variety of arrangements to
match whatever keying arrangements are included on the interface cards. In an alternative
embodiment, voltage drops are provided to quick switches to ensure signaling
compatibility between different card types. Further, all expansion slot connectors can be
keyed for only a subset of the possible card types available and thus reduce the logic
necessary to ensure compatibility.
