Abstract: A method and apparatus for collating,
correlating and redistributing information about the use
of proprietary products including copyrighted works and
licensed software products, at various computer sites.
The system consolidates information (originally captured
by other systems) by time period, such as day, week or
month, about which proprietary products are installed at
each computer site, as well as to what particulars of use
are relevant. This may include the number of invocations
of various software products, the number of logons, the
number of concurrent users, as well as other usage
metrics. The information is sorted by vendor or
copyright owner, so that the information about all of the
proprietary products licensed from a particular vendor
can be periodically sent to that vendor, automatically,
or in response to prompting by vendors or from within the
central computer system.

Abstract: It is desirable to be able to recognize data calls so that different charges can be
applied to such calls and that vertical services, such as the use of special transmission
facilities, may be offered to data callers. This recognition is accomplished by attaching a
tone detector to a call in order to detect the special tones characteristic of a data call.
Advantageously, this permits different charges to be imposed on data calls.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of knitting a collar on the periphery of a neck
hole of a garment on a flat knitting machine, said collar having continuous wales. A
front body and a back body of the garment are knitted on first and second needle beds
of the knitting machine. The wale of a collar closest to the body side is transferred
from the front body to the back body, then the wale is moved is moved towards the
neck hole side. Next, said wale is moved further towards the neck hole side, and a
new wale of the collar is transferred onto the needle of the back body before said
move. Each wale of the collar that has been transferred is moved towards the neck
hole side, In a similar manner all the wales of the collar are transferred.

Abstract: A finger tracking circuit for a rake receiver, a method
of tracking a carrier signal and a wireless infrastructure.
The finger tracking circuit includes: (1) a timing error
subcircuit that determines a timing error in a current power
control group ("PCG") of a carrier signal to be tracked and
(2) a feedback subcircuit that applies a gain signal that is
a function of a data rate of the carrier signal and a
signal-to-noise ratio ("SNR") to the timing error
subcircuit, a convergence rate of the finger tracking
circuit therefore depending on the data rate of the carrier
signal.

Abstract: A method of controlling a video system which employs a single video display
device (12) in common for a plurality of apparatus (1, 2) and performs communication of
a control signal by mutually connecting the apparatus via a control bus (6). When the
video output of one of the apparatus (2) in the video system is being displayed on the
video display device (12), the control method is carried out by actuating, in conformity
with such display, a commander (8) belonging to the video display device (12) or a
commander belonging to another apparatus (1) different from the aforesaid one
apparatus, thereby controlling the operation of the one apparatus (2). Consequently, it
becomes possible to simplify the manipulation of the plural apparatus by the use of a
single remote commander.

Abstract: A device, and a method for its operation, for verifying a person's identity by
comparing in a correlator (18) selected features of a reference fingerprint image,
generated in a sensor (10) from the fingerprint of a person of known identity, with a
subject fingerprint image taken from a person whose identity is to be verified. In an
enrollment procedure, a fingerprint from a person of known identity is analyzed in an
enrollment processor (14) to locate multiple reference patches that together are
distinctive to that person's fingerprint. The reference patch images are stored, together
with their locations in the image, in a reference image storage unit (16). When a subject
fingerprint image is later provided, every reference patch is compared with every
possible patch of similar size in the subject image, to find a set of candidate match
locations in the subject image. Then a subset of the candidate match locations is
selected such that the candidate match locations in the subset are practically
geometrically congruent with the locations of a corresponding subset of reference
patches. A verification match is declared based on the number candidate match
locations in the selected subset that satisfies this geometric constraint.

Abstract: A hydraulic apparatus for adjusting the timing of opening and closing of
an engine valve of a prior art has the drawback that sludge from the oil pressure
chamber tends to accumulate on the inner surface of the housing of the actuator,
which controls the rotor in a valve timing adjusting system for controlling the valve
timing of the engine. This causes troubles in the operation of the rotor. 
     In the present invention, while the fuel delivery to the engine (M1) is
being cut off, the hydraulic media providing means (M10) is controlled by the
timing advance control means M13 to rotate further the rotor from the position at
the moment that the fuel delivery is cut off, so as to clean the inner side of the
housing of the actuator (M9) , the control of the setting and the execution of the
cleaning mode is carried out by a cleaning condition judging means (M14) . A mode
exchange means (M15) controls the hydraulic media providing means (M10) to
exchange its normal mode and the cleaning mode, according to the state of the
engine.

Abstract: A plating cell for electro-less plating of articles, for example,
semiconductor wafers (74) contained in a carrier or "boat" (72), incorporates a
megasonic transducer (24) in the plating cell and a rotational drive (80, 82)
supporting the wafer carrier (72) in the plating cell. The megasonic transducer
(24) applies acoustic energy at megasonic frequencies to the solution in the cell
during a plating operation, and the carrier (72) is rotated, e.g., at 45 to 60 r.p.m.
A rapid drain (68) removes the solution from the cell quickly at the end of a
plating operation. A pair of spray tubes (66) with a series of spray nozzles rinses
the wafers with de-ionized water. Spargers (16) at the base of the cell inject the
plating solution, which proceeds generally upwards in a laminar flow, and spills
over a spillway (18) at the top of the plating tank. The spillway (18) comprises a
series of triangular teeth which avoid waves or turbulence. This arrangement
can also be used for galvanic plating.

Abstract: A drive roller for an ink-jet printer. The drive roller
has a media engaging surface that is roughened by grit blasting
along an entire media engaging longitudinal peripheral extent.
The surface is hardened by anodizing. The roller is relatively
inexpensive to fabricate yet has a small error on diameter and
run out, and high traction due to the surface roughness, to
provide highly accurate media positioning performance. The
drive roller rotates about shaft mounted bearings. The shaft
journal is formed with a small raised bump, which has very loose
diametrical tolerance requirements, but is short in comparison
to the bearing length dimension. When the bearing is press fit
onto the shaft journal, the material forming the raised bump is
sheared by the bearing. The sheared material drops into a
recess on the journal, and does not interfere with the axial
positioning of the bearing. The axial position of the bearing
is controlled by placing the bearing next to a shoulder formed
on the shaft.

plate of the plurality of quarter-wave plates contacts the
dichroic filter, and a second quarter-wave plate of the
plurality of quarter-wave plates contacts the dichroic
filter, and is disposed between the dichroic filter and the
color light combining means.

Abstract: Beam steerers are used in optical communications to direct a light signal towards a
selected angular direction. Conventionally, the light signal is finely steered by
employing mirrors to reflect the light signal. A beam steerer, arranged to direct a light
signal in a free space optical communications system includes a pair 6,7 of lenses,
through which a light signal 17 is transmissible, the lenses having opposite and
substantially equal optical power, and displacing means 8,9 for translating one lens
with respect to the other, transverse to an optical axis of the lenses. The provision of
lenses permits the angular deflection of the beam per unit distance translation of a lens
to be selected, as this is dependent on the optical power of the lenses. Selection of this
ratio is not possible with mirror-based beam steerers.
