Abstract: A pagewidth printhead includes a printhead controller; a wafer substrate defining a plurality of inlets; and a plurality of micro-electromechanical nozzle arrangements on the wafer substrate and under control of the controller. Each nozzle arrangement includes side walls disposed on the wafer substrate with a roof portion attached to said side walls to define a printing fluid chamber in fluid communication with one inlet, the roof portion defining an ejection port; and at least two heater elements suspended between the side walls in the fluid chamber for forming a vapour bubble in response to electrical actuation energy being applied thereto, whereby a pressure increase in the chamber is effected and fluid in the fluid chamber ejected therefrom via the ejection port. The controller is configured to actuate the at least two heater elements individually to facilitate ejection of weighted ink drop volumes from the nozzle arrangement. A size of a first of the at least two heater elements is different to a size of a second of the at least two heater elements.

Abstract: An electronic control unit of a motor vehicle is connected to signal transmitters and generates output signals in response to a desired speed signal, a yaw signal, a target vehicle signal, and a wheel speed signal. The electronic control unit generates a trigger signal that limits the momentary speed (or momentarily the acceleration) of the motor vehicle for at least a value that substantially corresponds to a maximum of a distance X between the motor vehicle and a target motor vehicle at the same time of its leaving the detection area. The distance X is reduced by a shortening stretch DX to an effective distance Xeff that is dependent on at least one of an environmental condition environment (motorway, country road, town traffic), the speed of the target motor vehicle at the time of leaving the detection area, the momentary speed of the motor vehicle, and the bend radii of bends already driven through in the past within a predetermined period of time.

Abstract: Fingerprints are bit strings extracted from a media signal (e.g. an audio or video clip) to identify said media signal. Typically, they are derived from a perceptual property of the signal, for example, the spectral energy distribution of an audio fragment or the luminance distribution of a video image. A method and arrangement for extracting a fingerprint is here disclosed which is robust with respect to shifts of the perceptual property. Such shifts occur, inter alia, when the fingerprint is derived from a logarithmically mapped spectral energy distribution of an audio signal and said audio signal is subjected to speed changes. According to the invention, the fingerprint is not derived from the perceptual property as such, but from its auto-correlation function.

Abstract: A bundling assembly (22) for use with a strapping machine (10) that is configured to
position a strap material around a load (L) and tension the strap material around the load
includes first and second moving belts (24) positioned at the strapping machine entrance (23) in
opposing relation to one another. The belts each have a paddle (34) mounted thereto and
define a pathway (P) through the bundling assembly. A movable stop (48) is positioned at the
exit (50) of the strapping machine and is movable between a stop position and a convey
position. The moving belts (24) rotate to contact the paddles with the load, urging the load
into the entrance of the strapping machine and into an area under the chute (14). The belts
stop rotation, thus stopping movement of the load upon contact of the load with the
stop. The movable stop (48) then moves to the convey position and the moving belts
rotate such that the paddles move the load out of the exit of the strapping machine. A
stabilizing assembly (68) applies a slight pressure on the load during the strapping cycle.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a speech recognition system (8) and a method of recognizing spoken utterances of users. The speech recognition system (8) comprises the plurality of speech handling units (81-84), a scheduler (85) and a plurality of speech recognizers (86-88). A prompt is presented to the user. The speech handling unit (81) receives a spoken utterance from the user in response to that prompt. It generates a speech signal from the received spoken utterance, detects the start and the end of said utterance and creates a speech data set containing the content of the utterance. It sends a speech recognition request message to the scheduler (85). The scheduler (85) dynamically allocates one of the speech recognizers (86-88) to the speech data set, when the speech data set is available. The speech handling unit (81) transfers the speech data set to the allocated speech recognizer (86).

Abstract: Using a smoke generator, it is possible to determine flows in gaseous media. Smoke generators of a pyrotechnic composition are presently available. It is desirable that it should be possible to turn off the smoke generator when it has fulfilled the purpose for which it is being used. With pyrotechnic smoke generators, this requires water. This is a disadvantage. The present invention overcomes this by using a relatively thick thread that can be ignited at one end. On ignition, a flame is formed. When the flame is blown out, smoke is generated. Where said thread functions in conjunction with a sleeve (labelled "7" in the accompanying figures), smoke generation can be terminated by fully withdrawing the smoke generating end into the sleeve. This results in total extinction of said end.
