Abstract: In a laser interferometric measurement system for a plurality of measuring stations, in which each measuring station is assigned an interferometer (22, 26, 27), and which is preferably used as a multiple-measuring or multi-coordinate measuring device for the purpose of measuring lengths, according to the invention an interferometer (22) of at least one measuring station has a pair of reference reflectors (24, 25) having a fixed, defined spacing relative to one another. In each interferometer (22, 26, 27), beams which are incident as mutually equal pairs and whose frequencies differ from one another have source locations for generating component beams which are assigned to one another in conjunction with a direction of propagation which is the same at least in sections, and of which, each component beam of the one frequency has, after it has traversed an interferometer arm, a common beam path with the assigned component beam of the other frequency so as to produce interference. All the interference signals are measured and evaluated simultaneously. The invention can be used to construct a measurement system having a plurality of stations from compact interferometers with comparatively small dimensions, in which the interference (noise) quantities, such as change in the refractive index of the measurement medium and frequency fluctuations in the laser light source, have as little effect as possible on the measurement result obtained. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A branch value output circuit checks a preceding state to which a maximum path metric state determined in a Viterbi decoding process by a Viterbi decoder has transited, and determines a branch value between transitions. A correlator determines a correlation in each interval between the branch value and soft-decided received data and outputs a correlative value representing the correlation in each interval. A synchronism/asynchronism determining circuit determines whether the received data are in a synchronous or asynchronous condition based on the correlative value in each interval. If the received data are determined to be in an asynchronous condition, the synchronism/asynchronism determining circuit supplies a phase control signal to a phase converter, which then changes the phase of the received data. Therefore, it can be detected whether the soft-decided received data are in the synchronous or asynchronous condition, and if the received data are in the asynchronous condition, the received data are controlled into the synchronous condition.

Abstract: A system and method for exchanging data processing capabilities between computers. The computers exchange capabilities so that data transfer between the computers may be made in the most efficient data format possible for the two computers. A first computer, which will receive a data file, sends a list of data processing capabilities to a second computer, which will transmit the data file to the first computer. The transmitting computer examines the capabilities list of the receiving computer as well as its own capabilities list and determines the most efficient data format for the transfer. The transmitting computer may process the data file into an intermediate format for efficient data transfer so that the receiving computer will process the intermediate data file into the desired data format. The capabilities list can be cached for future communication between the computers. The system can update the capabilities list and inform other computers whether their cached capabilities list is current. Capabilities can also be forwarded from one computer to another so that a third computer can determine the capabilities of the first computer from the second computer or the capabilities of the second computer from the first computer. The system is readily applicable to facsimile machines where custom and application data processing capabilities can be exchanged.

Abstract: Inkjet-printed images (characters or graphics) have an image-quality asymmetry, correlated with the direction of pen scanning. The invention exploits this asymmetry to improve apparent overall quality by forcing the less-perfect side of each image element to become, and be hidden in, the element interior. To achieve this effect, part of each element is printed during pen scanning in one direction and part during scanning in an opposite direction. Neither scan prints the trailing edge -- that is, the edge the pen reaches last, when moving in a given direction. Instead each scan prints only the leading edge -- plus the interior or part of the interior, if the image is wide enough that its interior forms an analytically separate portion. If the image is wider still, it is subdivided so that one discrete interior portion is printed in the same scan with one of the lateral edges (the leading edge in one scan direction) and an additional discrete interior portion is printed in the same scan with the other lateral edge (the leading edge in the opposite scan direction). The widths of the "leading edge" and also of top and bottom edges are defined to optimize print quality by finding the best tradeoff between oppositely acting surface-tension effects: when very wide portions are printed all at once, creating a large pool of liquid ink, objectionable "runners" occur (which effect favors defining the "edges" as narrow); but when only very narrow portions are printed, edges objectionably reveal the pixel structure conspicuously (which favors defining the "edges" as wide). Overlap dots can be included in the portion or portions printed when scanning in either or both directions, to avoid narrow unprinted gaps in case of misalignment between scans in opposite directions.

Abstract: A computer has an AC power outlet, preferably a standard AC outlet, into which periperhal devices, such as video monitors, can be plugged. It can turn this outlet on and off under program control, preferably by writing an outlet control signal to an I/O port which controls the outlet. A activity monitor, preferably in software, generates outlet control signals when one or more of the computer's peripheral devices have been inactive for more than a predetermined time. In some embodiments, the activity monitor turn off different parts of the computer in response to different types of inactivity. Preferably the computer can turn off the AC outlet without turning off the computer as a whole, and preferably it turns off the AC power outlet when the computer is turned off. Normally the AC outlet and its switching circuitry are part of the computer's power supply. The invention also includes a computer which has one or more electrically powered fans and an I/O port to which its can write to produce different fan speed control signals. A control device varies the fan's speed in response to the different control signals generated by the port. In one embodiment, the computer stores a value in non-volatile memory, such as in a register on its CPU, indicating which fans speed control signal should be generated when the computer is turned on. Preferably the fan-speed-control device also includes a device for measuring air temperature and for controlling fan speed as a function of that temperature, as well as of the fan speed control signal. In some embodiments two fans are so controlled, with the fans being operated at different speeds to prevent audible beating between them.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for simultaneously coating multiple thin layers of relatively viscous fluids, including pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs), onto a moving substrate. The method of the present invention comprises the adjustment of the pressure gradients in the interface region between two confluent flows so as to avoid recirculation therein. In particular, the pressure gradient along the middle lip is regulated so as to not be excessively positive, in order to position the separating line between the top and bottom flows at a particular point on the die lips, thus enhancing stable flow. In the apparatus of the present invention, a step configuration is formed on the die lips so that the downstream lip steps away from the web in the direction of web travel. In another aspect of the invention, the pressure gradient at various locations in the bead is controlled by beveling the upstream and downstream lips. In yet a further aspect of the present invention, the viscosities of the two liquids being coated are matched at therelevant shear rates to promote good coating quality.
