The caster assembly of a preferred embodiment includes a caster having a caster fork, a caster wheel (32) attached to the caster fork, and a mounting shaft attached to a caster fork. The mounting shaft (14) is shaped and sized to extend through the aperture in the frame portion when the caster assembly is in an installed position wherein the caster is adjacent to a bottom side of the frame leg and an intermediate portion of the mounting shaft is adjacent to a top side of the frame leg. The mounting shaft (14) has an generally flat blocking surface extending along a portion of the shaft such that the blocking surface is adjacent to the aperture in the frame leg when the caster is in the installed position. A locking washer is removably connected to the mounting shaft (16) and is mountable to the frame leg. The locking washer has a shaft aperture that receives the mounting shaft therein, and an engagement portion defines a portion of the shaft aperture. The blocking surface is removably positioned immediately adjacent to the engagement portion so as to engage the engagement portion and prevent rotational movement of the mounting shaft relative to the locking washer and relative to the frame leg when the caster is in the installed position. The locking washer (22) retains the mounting shaft (14) in a selected angular orientation relative to the frame leg (18) aligned with a primary intended direction of travel, thereby providing directional control of the frame structure.

Abstract: Thermal ink jet apparatus includes an ink jet pen with a plurality of ink ejection nozzles (20). Associated with each nozzle (20) is a first resistor (26) and second resistor (28). A feed channel (14) introduces a quantum of ink into thermal communication with each first resistor (26) and second resistor (28). The quantum of ink requires a level of applied thermal energy of E min  to be caused to be ejected from the associated nozzle (20). An X-Y matrix drive circuit selectively applies a half-select address current to a first resistor (26) and a half-select address current to a second resistor (28), both resistors (26,28) located at a common nozzle (20). Each half-select current is insufficient to cause a resistor to emit E min  thermal energy, but both half-select currents cause the first and second resistors (26,28) to couple at least E min  of thermal energy to the co-located quantum of ink so as to enable an ejection thereof.

Abstract: The apparent speed of a connection between a
browser at a user station and a proxy or gateway on a
network such as the Internet is increased by providing
a local proxy at the user station which interacts with
a remote proxy. While the remote proxy is retrieving a
newly requested World Wide Web page, for example, from
the appropriate content provider, it may also be
sending to the local proxy a stale cached version of
that page. When the new version of the page is finally
retrieved, the remote proxy determines the differences
between the new version and the stale version, and,
assuming the differences do not exceed the new page in
size, sends the differences to the local proxy which
then reconstructs the new page from the differences and
the stale version. The local proxy delivers the new
page to the browser, which need not even be aware that
a local proxy exists; it is aware only that it received
the page it requested. Because computational speed and
power are frequently higher and cheaper than
transmission speed, the apparent speed of the
connection between the user station and the network has
been increased at modest cost.

Abstract: In a transmission system a signal is encoded in an encoder (7). The encoded signal is transmitted by a transmitter (2) via a transmission medium (4) to a receiver (6). In the encoder analysis parameters of the input signal are determined by analysis means (8) and quantised by quantisation means (14). The transmitter transmits quantisation level numbers to the receiver (6). In the receiver decoded analysis parameters are derived by interpolation level numbers of two subsequent sets of analysis parameters, and subsequently determining the corresponding analysis. By interpolating the level numbers instead of the analysis parameters themselves, a substantial amount of computational complexity is saved.
