Abstract: An ink containment and dispensing device for an ink-jet printer is provided with a main reservoir in the form of a flexible pouch, which is typically maintained at ambient pressure. The main reservoir is coupled to a variable volume chamber via a one-way valve which allows the flow of ink from the reservoir to the chamber and prevents the flow of ink from the chamber to the reservoir. The chamber is coupled to a fluid outlet, which is normally closed to prevent the flow of outward ink. However, when the ink supply is installed in a printer, the fluid outlet establishes a fluid connection between the chamber and the printer. The chamber is part of a pump provided with the ink supply that can be actuated to supply ink from the reservoir to the printer.      The pump has a linearly acting pumping member and a flexible diaphragm that overlies the pumping member, the diaphragm being impervious to the transmission of oxygen and moisture therethrough to prevent degradation of the ink within the chamber.

Abstract: A check rail lock securable to the top rail of one window sash of a double hung window, including a housing, a cam pivotable about a first axis within the housing between an open position and a locking position, a pin extending from the bottom of the cam, and a guard member disposed substantially beneath the cam and pivotable about a second axis within the housing, the guard member having a slot receiving the pin for moving between a guarding position and a retracted position responsive to pivoting of the cam between the locking position and the open position. The cam in the locking position includes a portion extending from the housing and adapted to cooperate with a keeper secured to the other window sash to lock the one window sash in a closed position relative to the other window sash. The guard member extends from the housing to substantially overlap with the cam extending portion in the guarding position and the guard member is substantially entirely retracted into the housing in the retracted position. The guard member slot is oriented whereby a force biasing the guard member from the guarding position toward the retracted position biases the pin generally toward the first axis or overcenter to bias the cam toward the locking position.

Title: Thermochemical regenerative heat recovery process
Inventor: KOBAYASHI HISASHI
IPC: C01B3/38
Filed: 1999-04-28
Granted: 2002-12-24
Abstract: A furnace is provided having at least two regenerator beds for heat recovery. While a first bed is being heated by hot flue gases produced by combusting a fuel and an oxidant in the furnace, a second bed, heated during a previous cycle, is cooled through carrying out an endothermic chemical reaction therein, for example the reforming reaction of a hydrocarbon with water vapor and carbon dioxide and/or the dissociation of a hydrocarbon. Once the second bed is cooled by the endothermic reaction, the hot flue gases are redirected to it while the first bed, now hot, is used for carrying out the endothermic chemical reaction. Thereafter the cycle is repeated.

Title: Receipt form handling system for automated banking machine
Inventor: BRANNAN JEFFREY A
IPC: B41J11/70
Filed: 1997-11-25
Granted: 2005-05-03
Abstract: A receipt form handling system for an automated banking machine includes a printer (30) which prints indicia on paper extending in a paper path (151). Paper is moved in the paper path by engagement with a drive mechanism (157, 159). Paper sheets are delivered by the drive mechanism to a delivery area, which includes a nip (114) of a sheet transport (26). The transport removes the sheets from the delivery area. A cutter (153) is positioned in the paper path and operates to selectively cut the paper. A sensor (155) is positioned at a location in the paper path upstream from the cutter.      A controller (112) is in operative connection with the sensor and the cutter. The controller operates the cutter so that the paper is cut to produce a form sheet after indicia is printed on a portion of the paper. Upon the sensor detecting an approaching end of the paper, the controller ceases operation of the cutter. This avoids producing forms that are of insufficient length to be handled by the drive or transport.

Abstract: A system (30) for determining a missile kinematic property. The inventive system includes a radar system (36) for obtaining radar range measurements (34). An inertial reference unit (40) tracks changes in missile acceleration without the use of the radar range measurements and provides a signal (38, 42) in response thereto. An altitude Kalman filter (32) and a subtractor circuit (48) are used to combine the signal (38, 42) and the radar range measurements (34) to provide an accurate estimate (50) of the property. In a specific embodiment, the kinematic property includes missile vertical velocity and missile altitude. A radar system (36) supplies radar range information (34) to the Kalman filter (32). A loop (52) from the Kalman filter (32) to the radar system (36) facilitates estimating the radar range measurements (34) when invalid radar range measurements are provided by the radar system (36). The Kalman filter (34) is a two state filter, one state corresponding to missile altitude, and the other state corresponding to missile vertical velocity bias error in the inertial reference unit's (40) velocity measurements (42). In the illustrative embodiment, the Kalman filter (32) combines radar pseudo-measurement estimates of missile altitude with estimates (38) of missile altitude obtained from the inertial reference unit (40) and provides an output signal (46) representative of an accurate missile altitude estimate in response thereto. The Kalman filter (32) includes a velocity bias output (44) which provides an estimate of the error in a velocity measurement (42) obtained from inertial reference unit (40) to the subtractor circuit (48). The subtractor circuit (48) subtracts the estimate (44) of the bias error from the velocity measurement (42) and provides the missile velocity estimate (50) in response thereto.

Abstract: A phase-locked loop circuit for providing a tightly controlled capture range for locking an output signal to a data signal, while also providing a wide frequency capture range for initially pulling the output signal within a wider, predetermined frequency range. The apparatus detects a frequency difference between at least one reference signal and an output signal, and generates a frequency error signal in response to the frequency difference. A phase difference is detected between a received input signal and the output signal, and a phase error signal is generated in response to the phase difference. The frequency error signal and the phase error signal are combined to control the frequency of the output signal by controlling a voltage-controlled oscillator.

Filed: 1998-07-10
Granted: 2007-06-26
Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a programme for presentation as a sequence of programme elements from a set of pre-recorded programme elements which may be transmitted to a receiver. Programme elements each representing for example an event are classified on the basis of programme element content, that is the nature of the event to which the programme element relates. Each programme element is allocated to at least one of a predetermined set of classes and each programme element is stored with at least one associated programme classification code. The classification codes identify the class to which the associated programme element has been allocated. A programme element is generated by selecting at least one programme classification code and presenting programme elements associated with that selected at least one programme classification code. Users are able to generate programmes based on for example the perceived value of individual programme elements.

Abstract: A work station chair is enabled to shift in response to a person leaning forward in the chair when in a working mode and leaning back in a rest position.      The chair includes a seat, a backrest and supportive structure. The seat is resiliently supported on the supportive structure and moveably along an arc track which is mounted on the supportive structure and has a radius generated from the ankle of the person sitting on the chair. The backrest is resiliently supported on the seat and moveable along an arc track which is mounted to the seat and has a radius generated from H-point that is a natural pivot point of the torso and thigh lines of the person. The chair provides a combined tilting movement of the person's body about the ankle point and the H-point when the person shifts his or her gravity to reduce adverse static postural loads and forces which are responsible for the fatigue and biomechanical dysfunction. It is also easy to adjust simultaneously the chair and the backrest for different weight loads of persons, which can be done by the person while sitting on the chair and reaching for an adjustment knob in front of the chair.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la prolongation de l'effet in vivo de l'interféron de type I (IFN) par administration de l'interféron sous forme de complexe avec une chaîne de liaison d'IFN du récepteur de l'interféron humain .alpha./.beta. (IFNAR). Ce complexe permet également d'améliorer la stabilité de l'IFN et augmente la puissance de l'IFN. Le complexe peut être un complexe non covalent ou un complexe dans lequel l'IFN et l'IFNAR sont liés par une liaison covalente ou un peptide. Lorsqu'ils sont liés par une liaison peptidique sous la forme d'une protéine de fusion, l'IFN peut être séparé de l'IFNAR par un lien peptidique. On peut produire cette protéine de fusion au moyen d'une technique de recombinaison de l'ADN. La conservation de l'IFN sous la forme d'un tel complexe permet d'augmenter la durée de conservation de l'IFN et de le conserver dans de meilleures conditions qu'il n'aurait été possible autrement.

Abstract: A dead bolt lock (214) automatically blocks the extended bolt (204) to prevent externally-applied force from thrusting the bolt (204) back into the lock case (100), and in the event of physical attack the lock responds by prolonging or perpetuating the deadbolt blocking condition.  A push-pull lock has a bolt whose motion in both directions is stopped in response to detection of a rise in motor current above a certain level:  a cushioning arrangement allows the current-limiting feature (600) to be implemented without risk of damage to the motor (202), gear teeth or other drive components. A re-locker arrangement includes an angled flange that is part of a motor-supporting bracket (206); when forcibly pressed, the flange breaks plastic pins (920) to release a spring-biased re-locker wire (950) to block the bolt from being withdrawn. The system also provides a position sensor switch (692), a keypad tampering detection and response system (646), remote enable/disable unit (5), duress detection and response unit (7), low-battery sensing arrangement (600) and bolt extension indication, adjustable bolt throw and audit trail features.
