Patent EP-0775965-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LITSCHE MARIO
IPC: G06K7/10
Filed: 1996-11-09
Abstract: The method involves energising a drive motor to move a carriage (10) in direction X and energises a motor to move the carriage in direction Y at right angles to X. This moves the barcode along a path corresponding to its orientation past the scanner (37). The barcode is scanned and decoded and the decoded barcode is transmitted to a control unit. The decoding, scanning and motor energising operations are terminated. The decoding process is continued until a valid barcode has been identified and decoded or until the program detects that the barcode contains errors or that there is no barcode present.

Abstract: In a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) communication network (10), a central office (CO) (11) provides interactive communication between a service provider and a plurality of user terminals (32). To synchronize transmissions of the user terminals, a timebase timer (20) in the CO generates modulo N-bit cyclical reference counts as time markers. In a downstream direction to the plurality of user terminals, time marker insertion units (16) in the CO receive both (a) separate digital TDMA transport streams having a predetermined data rate including data packets and Media Access Control (MAC) packets that are interspersed between the data packets at predetermined intervals, and (b) the time markers generated by the timebase timer, and insert a currently received time marker count into a concurrently received MAC packet. The resultant downstream TDMA transport streams with the inserted time marker counts in the MAC packets are transmitted in continuous TDMA output transport stream to the remote user terminals. The time markers are independent of a data rate, a physical channel, and a channel protocol of the transport stream. In each user terminal, a network interface module (34) synchronizes itself by comparing received time markers and locally generated time marker counts for correcting a local oscillator frequency. Upstream channel units (23) in the CO are synchronized using the timebase timer generated time markers for receiving and processing upstream data packets upon arrival at their preassigned channel unit.

Abstract: A system and method for implementing a hierarchical policy for computer system (10) administration which is extremely flexible in assigning policies to managed objects (32), is disclosed. Policies (22) are defined to be rules for the values of the attributes of managed objects is disclosed. Policy groups comprise the basic building blocks and they associate a set of policies with a set of managed objects. Policy groups can also be members of other policy groups and a policy group inherits the policies of its parent policy groups supporting the hierarchical specification of policy. A given policy group may have multiple parents which allows the "mix-in" of policies from the parents. Cloning and templates in conjunction with validation policies and policy groups provide standardization and a concomitant reduction in system administration complexity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for the lateral alignment of the cross-direction profile control of a web (W) as required by a papermaking process. According to the method, a certain cross-direction profile of a dried web, particularly the basis weight profile thereof, to be aligned is gauged. The profile measurement signal (BW) thus obtained is taken to the control system (45) of the paper machine which provides a control signal (C) suited to control the adjustment means (32 1 -32 N ; 24 1 -24 S ) of said cross-direction profile control provision. According to the invention, the web (W) is provided with at least one marker line (M;M 1 -M R ), whose lateral shift (Δx) or shifts (Δx i ) is/are detected at the measurement point (40) of said cross-direction profile of the dried web (Wd), or in the vicinity thereof. The detection of said detected lateral shift(s) (Δx;Δx i ) is used to generate a measurement signal (M(Δx)) of said shift(s) which signal is employed to control the lateral alignment of the web profile adjustment provision. The information obtained from said detected lateral shift(s) (Δx; Δx i ) is then used in the control of the lateral alignment of the consistency profile control provision adapted in conjunction with the paper machine headbox (10). The marker agent used to make the marker line (M;M 1 -M R ) is injected to the stock at the inlet side of the stock feed channel to the paper machine headbox (10), most advantageously close to the control valve set (32 1 -32 N ) of the consistency profile control provision.

Abstract: An apparatus and method provides is configured such that a
decoded image can be provided that is almost identical to the
original image being encoded. In particular, corrected data of fewer
pixels than the number of pixels for an original image is calculated
by carrying out prescribed calculations using a pixel value for pixels
of each block of the image and mapping coefficients that correspond
to the class of the block. A predicted value for the original image is
then estimated at a local decoder based on the corrected data.
Then, at an error calculator, a prediction error for the original image
for the predicted value is detected. At a mapping setting unit, a
mapping coefficient corresponding to the class of the block is
changed based on this prediction error. By repeating this process,
mapping coefficients occurring when the prediction error is less than
a prescribed threshold value are obtained. The number of pixels in
the encoded image is thus minimized by including mapping
coefficient in place of at least some of the image information.

Abstract: A probe positioning assembly for an armature
tester has a plurality of electrical probes
corresponding to the number of commutator bars in the
armature to be tested. The probes are mounted on
insulating blocks that are connected by spring arms to
an insulating ring. In their neutral positions, the
probes define a circular opening into which the
armature can enter with clearance between the probes
and the commutator. An actuator in contact with each
support block also contacts at its other end a flexible
membrane defining one wall of a hollow annular chamber
surrounding the assembly. After the armature is in
position with the commutator bars adjacent the probes,
the hollow chamber is pressurized, causing the membrane
to uniformly and simultaneously push on each actuator,
so that each support block and the probes carried
thereby move uniformly and simultaneously toward the
commutator, until the probes touch the commutator bars.
Testing can then be carried out, after which the hollow
chamber is depressurized, allowing the support blocks
and their probes to return to the neutral position
under the influence of the spring arms. By providing a
socket in the test station for receiving the assembly,
one can provide a system that can test armatures of 
different sizes by inserting different sized assemblies
in the socket.
