Abstract: A system for converting an image-enhanced digitized raster fingerprint image to vector lines in order to generate a unique identification value for the fingerprint. The raster image pixels are converted to vector lines along the fingerprint ridges and the vector lines are classified and converted according to type. The line types are then analyzed and a list of identification features corresponding to the vector line types is generated. The identification features between the vector line types are compared and the image is classified according to fingerprint class. A unique identification value is then generated by numerically encoding the classified identification features.

Abstract: A duplex printing system and a printing method which enables printing of the second side of substrate in any desired order is provided. The printing system includes a printing unit, a reader and a processing unit. In the first pass, the printing unit receives a digital representation of a first image and at least one machine readable code and prints the first image and the machine readable code on a first side of a printing substrate. In the second pass, the reader identifies the printed machine readable code, preferably a bar-code, and provides it to the processing unit. The processing unit provides the digital representation of a second image associated with the machine readable code to the printing unit for printing a second image on a second side of the printing substrate, preferably, but not necessarily, in an orientation which is generally similar to the orientation of the printed first image and in registration therebetween. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A luminescent glass includes nanocrystalline semiconductor particles, such as ZnS nanocrystals, and an activator, such as copper, for the particles. The glass is made by depositing the nanocrystalline semiconductor particles and the activator within a porous glass matrix, such as 7930 Vycor TM  and then thermally activating the glass. The porous glass matrix may be at least partially consolidated or may be allowed to remain porous. The nanometer particle size permits the luminescent glasses of the present invention to be transparent to its luminescent emissions.

Abstract: Hydraulic apparatus, for example a gear pump or motor, for low noise generation employs helical gears (8 and 10) retained within a casing. The contact ratio and the helical advance of the gear teeth (which may be approximately 2 and 1, respectively) are such as to substantially prevent back-flow of hydraulic fluid from the outlet side to the inlet side. In the case of a gear pump, a pressure relief recess (70 or 74) and a fluid feed recess (72 or 76) can communicate with the spaces between the teeth in the meshing zone at each end of the gears, the recesses being so shaped and positioned as to avoid communication with each other by way of said spaces, and the disposition of said recesses at one end of the gears relative to those at the other end thereof being staggered by an amount corresponding to the helical advance. Each pressure relief recess is a slot having a basic end surface (78 or 82) beyond which there extends a subsidiary slot or "nose" (80 or 84), and each fluid feed recess is a slot interconnecting the bearings for the shafts carrying the gears. In the case of a reversible gear motor, respective pressure relief recesses communicate with both ports of the motor at each end of the gears.

Abstract: The method provides cordless image and text data communication. At least one subscriber terminal is associated by means of a code with a base station connected to a communication network. The code is transmitted by in-band code transmission between the subscriber terminal and the base station. The terminal carries out cordless image and text data transmission. The in-band code transmission is carried out at predetermined time intervals during a data transmission. Data transmission is only continued when the code transmission has successfully taken place. The code exchange takes place at the same time as the exchange of control data via the communication network. The cordless facsimile appts. has a control unit (ST). This is connected to a memory (SP) for a code. It is also connected to a facsimile unit (FAX) to read in images or text.

Abstract: In a process for directly or indirectly applying a liquid or paste-form medium to a moving web of material, especially paper or paperboard, the medium (10) is applied directly to the surface of the web, which is supported on a backing surface (12) or, in an indirect coating process, to the surface (33) of a rotating roll which then applies the medium to the web as it passes through a coating gap. The cross-machine profile of the coating medium is controllably varied during application, whilst the profile in the direction of web travel is controllably varied immediately after application. The control of the cross-machine and longitudinal coating medium profiles is carried out by separate control loops (21,22,23,20; 21,23,26,29,17c) using measurements (21,22) of the profile of the coating medium on the web material or on the applicator roll. The measured values (23a,23b) of the coating profiles are compared using a computer with set-point values (24,27), and deviations are convert ed into corresponding , separate instructions (25,28) to influence (16,17c) the cross-machine and longitudinal profiles respectively. Also claimed is an arrangement for the control procedure on a coating system in which the coater (15) is divided into independently controlled zones across the machine width with an equaliser (17) and a means (17c,29,30) for adjusting the entire width of the coating.
