Abstract: The business performance of a company is shown in the profit and loss statement.
At the moment only the profit and loss statements by absorption costing are allowed in
published financial statements. As it is very difficult to get profit charts in absorption
costing, there are no profit chart theories applicable to practical accounting in
absorption costing now existing in the world except the prior patent application by this
applicant. The invention of this prior application was in relation to the profit chart per
one company. 
     This invention follows more theoretical development by this applicant, to enable
the invention to apply to management accounting in business division systems. The
invention provides a method in which the individual profit and loss statement (for
income before taxes) of each a business division in a company is transformed into each
profit chart under absorption costing. The chart is communicated to persons (both inside
and outside of the company) who are concerned with the company, over computer
information systems. 
     This invention provides a new business tool to information technology companies,
corporate accountants and business consultants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) method for
transmitting data packets from a transmitting entity to a receiving entity via a data
channel. Further, the present invention is related to mobile stations, base stations, radio
network controllers and communication systems performing in the HARQ method. To
overcome problems resulting from asynchronous retransmissions, the present invention
provides a HARQ method sending retransmissions synchronous. According to the
method, a feedback message is received from the receiving entity at the transmitting
entity and, in case the feedback message indicates that the data packet has not been
received successfully, a retransmission data packet is transmitted to the receiving entity
after a predetermined time span upon having received said feedback message. The
receiving entity soft combines the retransmission data packet with the previously
received data packet.

Abstract: A difference in feed roller (46) diameter from one printer (14) to another
causes a media to advance by a different amount for a given rotation of a drive shaft (52) to
which the feed roller is coupled. Such variation in advance distance is a linefeed error. Mean
linefeed error is determined and corrected by printing a test plot (80) having several areas (82-90).
Each area is formed of the same image pattern, but is printed at a different linefeed error
adjustment to compensate for mean linefeed error. The different adjustments are prescribed and
span a typical compensation range for a given print engine model. The different adjustment
factors cause banding (92/94) to occur in some areas. The user picks one of the test pattern
areas which has the highest print quality (i.e., least or no banding). The linefeed adjustment
factor corresponding to such area is used for normal printing.

Abstract: The present invention describes processes that incorporate ionic gums
into wheyless cream cheese to reinforce curd structure, thus increasing
product firmness. The processes involve adding a relatively small (e.g.,
about 0.005 to about 0.1 percent) but effective amount of the ionic gum (e.g.,
xanthan, gellan, carrageenan, alginate gums, low methoxy pectin, or mixtures
thereof) before a fermentation step, preferably prior to initial
homogenization/heating steps, to provide ionic gum-dairy protein interaction
without causing coacervation with protein. In certain preferred embodiments,
xanthan gum is used due to its cold water solubility, consistent composition,
availability, and low cost.

The light source (12) is adapted for illuminating the overlap zone (32) with a determined illumination, and the control means (18,22) are adapted to increase the luminous flux of the second module (16) so to have the illumination of the overlap zone equal to the determined illumination. The detector (24) is adapted for detecting a shadow zone which is created by an obstacle in the overlap volume, and the control means (18,22) are adapted so to increase the luminous flux of the second module to a determined rate, which is equal to the ratio of the surface of the shadow zone to the surface of the overlap zone. The central unit (22) comprises means for decreasing the luminous flux of the first module (16) when the zone of lower illumination is detected. The modules (16) are adapted for emitting light of the same spectral composition. The module (16) comprises one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs), where at least two diodes are adapted to emit the light of different colors. For example, each module (16) comprises 3 red, 2 green, 1 orange, and 3 white LEDs that is in the ratio 3:2:1:3.

The compensation means are adapted for decreasing the luminous flux of LEDs which emit the light of color different from that of the defective LED, or are adapted for increasing the luminous flux of LEDs having the same color as the defective LEDs. The color return index (CRI) of the light source (12) is at least 90, so to have the color of tissue close to realistic.
