Abstract: To accurately position printheads (C,M,Y,K) of an inkjet printer 100 in the capping
area of their service station (130), the position of service station insert members (e.g.
130K) is determined by an optical sensor (117) detecting a through hole (132K) in the
cartridge lid (131), and the separation (j) of the optical sensor and the printheads (e.g.
K) is precisely determined. The separation (j) is determined by using the printhead
nozzles to print lines (144,146) in the directions of the scan and media axes, scanning
the lines with the optical sensor (117), and calculating from the results the separation
(j). The results of locating the four reference holes (132C, 132M, 132Y, 132K) of

Abstract: In a code division multiple access (CDMA) mobile radio system,
transmitted-power control is commonly effected which keeps the transmit
level of the generally discontinuously transmitted information signals as low
as possible. In addition, a pilot signal is transmitted which is evaluated at
the receiving end to estimate the radio channel and correct the distortions
caused by the radio channel. 
     It is proposed to detect the silence periods of the discontinuously
transmitted information signal (DAT1) and to reduce the transmitted power
of the pilot signal (PLT1) during these silence periods. In this manner,
interferences can be reduced and the data signaling rate can be increased
without the transmission quality threatening to decrease severely or the
communications link threatening to break down.

Abstract: In an image sensor chip (A), the number N of the image reading
picture elements is defined as  N=n · k  (other than an integer
multiple of 16). The n represents the number of image signals
processed as a group when the image signals from the light
receiving elements are subjected to level correction on a
group-by-group basis. The k is the minimum integer satisfying
 0<(n · k-g · p)<n . The g is the resolution defined as the number
of image reading picture elements per predetermined unit length.
The p is the minimum difference between required different
reading widths as calculated on the basis of said unit length.
When a plurality of such image sensor chips (A) are arranged
in an array, the excess ratio of the array length of the image
sensor chips (A) relative to a required reading width can be
rendered constant.

Abstract: A continent ostomy port device has a face plate defining an aperture alignable with the opening of a stoma in the user's body and a closure adjacent to the aperture is adapted to permit covering and uncovering of the aperture in the face plate. A catheter extends from one side of the face plate proximally, and one end of the catheter is disposed within the ostomy site when the port device is in use. The catheter has continuous exterior and interior side walls, the latter defining a major lumen and is sized and shaped for non-surgical insertion through a stoma to a sufficient distance that the presence of the catheter within the stoma provides a barrier which reduces the incidence of prolapse, without the use of extraneous, externally applied materials or additional surgery. A removable cartridge fits snugly and slideably within the major lumen of the catheter of the device so as to prevent inadvertent escape of body waste material from the stoma when the cartridge is in place, without use of an ostomy bag, and to clean the interior side wall of the catheter as the cartridge is pressed into the major lumen. An anti-reflux valve is activated to prevent escape of body waste and deactivated for passage of fluid. Retaining structure is connected to the catheter, and is non-surgically, snugly fittable into the stoma, to cause the port device to be self-retaining in a normal use position within a stoma, without surgery or fixation materials.

Inventor: MES IAN
IPC: G11C7/10
Filed: 1999-04-01
Abstract: An asynchronously pipelined SDRAM has separate pipeline stages that are controlled by asynchronous signals. Rather than using a clock signal to synchronize data at each stage, an asynchronous signal is used to latch data at every stage. The asynchronous control signals are generated within the chip and are optimized to the different latency stages. Longer latency stages require larger delay elements, while shorter latency states require shorter delay elements. The data is synchronized to the clock at the end of the read data path before being read out of the chip. Because the data has been latched at each pipeline stage, it suffers from less skew than would be seen in a conventional wave pipeline architecture. Furthermore, since the stages are independent of the system clock, the read data path can be run at any CAS latency as long as the re-synchronizing output is built to support it.
