Patent EP-1297964-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BAUER STEPHEN W
IPC: B41J11/42
Filed: 2002-09-19
Abstract: The present invention is embodied in a system and method for
producing print masks (318) to eliminate step advance and swath height error
banding. In general, a print mask (318) is probabilistically produced that
corrects swath height errors and step advance errors. A printhead controller
(202) determines the firing order of the nozzles (214) in a single or multiple
swath with particular reference to a probabilistic print mask generator (308). The
generator (308) functions to firstly calculate the ramp height on a formula to
include pen height, data resolution, the number of passes and the pen nozzle
resolution. Secondly, taking the ramp height into consideration, the controller
(202) allocates on a random basis from the print mask (308), the firing of
nozzles (214), so that the ramp may begin at zero, although other values may
be desirable in preserving the life of the printhead (110), and ends at the ramp
height (312).

IPC: H04B3/03

Abstract: A frequency dependent telecommunication hybrid circuit adapted
to operate according to the Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line [ADSL]
protocol wherein the frequencies of the receive frequency band are
lower than those of the transmit frequency band. The hybrid circuit is
provided with series impedances (R1, Z1; R2, Z2) comprising devices
(Z1, Z2) having frequency dependant impedances. Owing to these
frequency dependant impedances, the hybrid circuit behaves as a
frequency band filter showing a different impedance in function of the
frequency band. As a result, the power consumption is reduced in the
transmit direction where the series impedances are relatively low.
However, the values of the series impedances remain relatively high in
the receive direction in order to avoid bit rate reduction.

Abstract: This invention concerns filling vacancies. It may be applied to finding replacements during staff shortages, or to filling entire rosters. It may also be used to fill casually occurring service needs, such as the need-for a child minding placement. The invention involves entering availability details into a candidate data store, and entering vacancy details into a vacancy data store. Automatic cross-matching of each vacancy to availability details create a list of available candidates for each vacancy. Automatically ordering the list for each vacancy ranks the candidates according to predetermined criteria. The vacancies are then filled with the top ranking available candidate. This may be performed automatically or involve the transmission of invitations and acceptances. The invitations may be automatically dispatched, and the responses may automatically update the data. It may be layered to integrate the filling of a vacancy with the provision of a service for a related period of time. For instance, integrating the filling of a teaching or nursing staff vacancy with the provision of child minding services for the same period.

Abstract: Slurries of amylaceous flour from milled seed of cereals, beans, and legumes containing dispersed particles of starch-protein agglomerates are subjected to high pressure processing to obtain deagglomerated starch granules and protein. Further treatment of the deagglomerated product leads to the recovery of a novel protein-coated starch product or to the isolation of starch and protein of high purity and quality. The method greatly improves the recovery of starch during classification/separation from protein and is therefore economical. Starch reduced to individual granules, with low starch damage, low protein content, and with improved pasting characteristics, can be produced using this deagglomerization method. The protein obtained by the process has better solubility and is therefore suitable for beverage applications.

Title: Valve block for a control device, particularly for a hydrostatic machine
Inventor: BELSER ROLAND
IPC: F04B49/08
Filed: 2002-07-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a valve block (1) for a control device comprising a valve (9) whose valve piston (14) is subjected to the action of a control pressure when in its open position and to the action of a return spring (15) when in its closed position. The closing force of the return spring (15) can be decreased or increased by an actuator, which can be displaced toward a position that increases the closing force and one that decreases the closing force. In order to simplify the displacement or adjustment and to improve reliability, the displacing movement of the actuator (16a) in the direction of movement that increases the closing force of the return spring (15) is limited by a stop element (112) in a position in which the closing force of the return spring (15) reaches its limited maximum value.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in a flow through assay process is disclosed. The method is characterised by a "pre-incubation step" in which the sample which is to be analysed, (typically for the presence of a particular protein), and a detection analyte (typically an antibody bound to colloidal gold or a fluorescent tag) which is known to bind to the particular protein may bind together for a desired period of time. This pre incubation step occurs before the mixture of sample and detection analyte come into contact with a capture analyte bound to a membrane. The provision of the pre-incubation step has the effect of both improving the sensitivity of the assay and reducing the volume of sample required for an assay. An apparatus for carrying out the method is disclosed defining a pre-incubation chamber for receiving the sample and detection analyte having a base defined by a membrane and a second membrane to which a capture analyte is bound. In one version the pre-incubation chamber is supported above the second membrane in one position but can be pushed into contact with the membrane carrying the capture analyte thus permitting fluid transfer from the incubation chamber through the capture membrane. In another version the membrane at the base of the incubation chamber is hydrophobic and its underside contacts the capture membrane and when a wetting agent is applied to the contents of the pre-incubation chamber fluid transfer occurs.
