Abstract: The service station provides components for wiping (40, 44) and capping (42, 46) the orifice plate of an ink-jet pen that is installed in a printer that can carry more than one pen-type (26, 29). Certain service station components are dedicated for use with only one type of pen (26) and other components are dedicated for use with another type of pen (29), thereby avoiding ink contamination that may occur, where, for example, a single wiper is used to wipe pens of both type.

Title: Optical disk drive
Inventor: LUECKE FRANK
IPC: G11B7/135
Filed: 1992-09-16
Abstract: The objective lens 34 of an optical disk drive has a suitable positioning and numerical aperture so that the light beam will be focused into a spot on the optical media of a first optical disk 36 having a cover plate with a first thickness. When a second optical disk is utilized having a cover plate with a second thickness different from the first thickness, a liquid crystal compensator lens 48 is actuated in the optical path between the light source and the objective lens for focusing the light beam into a spot on the optical media of the second optical disk. A correction signal may be applied to the liquid crystal in the compensator lens for altering a refractive index thereof. This substantially eliminates a wavefront aberration in the reflected light beam which would otherwise occur if the beam were focused onto the optical media of the second optical disk solely by use of the objective lens.

Abstract: A system in which core information, for example in the form of a core block or blocks (C), is transmitted in a core packet (PC), and at least some enhancement information, for example, in the form of enhancement blocks (E), is transmitted in an enhancement packet (PE) which is separate from the core packet (PC) and is discardable to relieve congestion. Preferably, the core and enhancement packets have headers (H) which include a discard eligible marker (DE) to indicate whether or not the associated packet can be discarded. The enhancement blocks (E) may be distributed between the core packet and enhancement packet in accordance with congestion conditions, or the enhancement blocks may be incorporated only in the enhancement packet, and the actual number of enhancement blocks included are varied depending on congestion conditions.

Abstract: The inductive hot plate heater has an induction coil (30) which is supplied with radiofrequency. The thickness and wire thickness of the individual conductors are of the order of magnitude of 0.2 mm for a normal frequency between 20 and 30 kHz (25 kHz). This small wire thickness has been found to produce particularly low losses. The arrangement of the induction hot plate (10) consists of thermal insulation (32), which is arranged under a plate (12) which is suitable for cooking vessels (13) to be placed on, of a screen (33) having branched, earthed lead structures, and of an induction coil (30) which is in the form of a disc and is fed back to the underneath side by means of a ferrite feedback plate (31). <IMAGE>

Abstract: An internal defibrillation electrode assembly (10) is disclosed including a disposable electrode (12) and a reusable handle (14). The electrode includes an electrode spoon (16), a shaft (18), and a barrier sleeve (20). The handle includes a handle body (58), electrical cable (60), sleeve connector (62), and electrical connector (64). The handle has a dagger-style configuration that makes the electrode assembly easy to use and is further constructed to allow the electrode to be quickly and reliably attached. In that regard, during assembly, a bayonet (32) on the shaft of the electrode is engaged in a bayonet receptacle (68) of the handle. The sleeve is then pulled over the handle to form a barrier between the handle and the environment. After the electrode assembly is used, the sleeve is removed from the handle, the electrode disengaged from the handle, and the electrode disposed of. After attaching a new electrode, the handle is then ready for immediate service. The handle can also be used with a reusable electrode that does not include a barrier sleeve. To that end, the handle is constructed to exhibit a relatively long life when subjected to repeated steam sterilization.

Abstract: A GPS receiver searches for a satellite radio wave over a predetermined search band width to allow for frequency shift of the received signal (the Doppler effect) and fluctuations in the oscillating frequency of the oscillator. When a high accuracy oscillator is used, the search band width can always be set relatively narrow. The invention provides a system in which the search band width can be set relatively narrow when using lower accuracy oscillators. A search centre frequency f s  is used as a start point, and an offset value A f osc  of an oscillator is calculated when the receiver is turned off on completion of the position measurement, and the offset value is stored as a backup value into a memory. When the power source of the receiver is turned on at the next position measurement, the back- up offset value A f osc  is read out and an initial search band width W o  at the start of the position measurement is set in accordance with the magnitude of the offset value. According to another feature, when the offset value of the oscillator which was calculated during the position measurement exceeds a predetermined reference value, the time of the calculation is backed up into a memory. If a predetermined reference time has not elapsed from the next measurement, the initial search band width at the start of the position measurement is set to a wide band.

Abstract: In a TDMA cellular communication network, one of the cell sites (2) is a reference station (2) for establishing a time reference in response to a timing signal from a mobile switching office (1), and each of the other cell sites (3) is a subordinate station (3). Each subordinate station (3) establishes a time slot in response to the timing signal from the mobile switching system and receives a signal from a mobile station (5) located in the area of the reference station (2) for detecting a time lapse between the time slot and the signal from the mobile station (5). A delay time is introduced to the time slot according to the time lapse so that the time slot is synchronized to the time reference of the reference station (2). In a second embodiment, each subordinate station (3) transmits a signal indicative of the detected time lapse to the mobile switching system, where a delay time value is derived from those signals received from a chain of subordinate stations (3) and returned to each subordinate station (3) for performing the time slot adjustment. The delay time value is a modulo τ summation of the time lapses received from such chain of subordinate stations (3), where τ is the duration of the time slot.

Abstract: A first correlation is obtained which is a correlation between latent image height produced after exposure on a resist layer, and resist pattern linewidth for a given length of develop time. Additionally, a second correlation is obtained which is a correlation between develop time for each exposure energy dose and resist pattern linewidth. The height of a latent image produced on an actually exposed resist layer is determined. From the first correlation, an estimated resist pattern linewidth, which is a resist pattern linewidth corresponding to a latent image height and to a given length of develop time, is found. From the second correlation, an estimated exposure energy dose, which is an exposure energy dose corresponding to a given length of develop time and to an estimated resist patten linewidth, is found. Additionally, also from the second correlation, develop time corresponding to a target resist pattern linewidth and to an estimated exposure energy dose is found, and according to the develop time found, a resist pattern is formed.
