Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program apparatus and systems, for processing
text that includes coded (character based) and noncoded (image based) representations of
text. The invention includes deriving a correction factor from a coded representation of a
second unit of text and an original noncoded representation of the second unit of text, and
modifying a representation of a first unit of text in accordance with the correction factor,
where a common font typeface is attributed to both the first and second units. The collection
factor can be calculated by rendering a coded representation of the second unit of text in the
font typeface to generate a rendered representation, calculating a reference ratio from the
rendered representation and an optical density of an original noncoded representation of the
second unit of text, and inverting the reference ratio to calculate the correction factor. Where
the first unit of text includes a word, the optical density of the word can be adjusted by
modifying a bitmap representation of the word, where pixels are added to, or removed from,
the bitmap, or the bitmap is left unchanged, according to the value of the correction factor.

Abstract: A self-diagnosing electronic price label. The label
communicates with a central processor in order to receive
price information for display and to report the status of
the label to the central processor. The label
periodically runs a self-test program to verify proper
operation of its components. If a component fails the
self-test, the failure is reported to a central processor,
and the central processor reports the failure for
investigation. During normal operation, the label issues
a signal to the central processor indicating normal
operation. In the event of a failure, the label ceases to
send the signal indicating normal operation. When the
signal is not received as expected, the central processor
reports the failure to receive the signal for
investigation. This allows the central processor to be
alerted to failures which disable communication between
the label and the central processor.

Abstract: A signal amplification system involves transforming at least one signal to be
amplified into at least one transformed signal which is amplified and the resulting
amplified transformed signal(s) can be used to produce a version(s) of the at least one
original signal. The at least one transformed signal can be produced from the at least
one original signal by using the at least one original signal to amplitude and/or angle
(phase or frequency) modulate the at least one original signal. After amplification of
the at least one transformed signal, the resulting at least one amplified transformed
signal is de-modulated to produce a version(s) of the at least one signal. In
transforming the at least one original signal to produce the at least one transformed
signal, the at least one original signal is transformed into a more desirable form, such
as a more power efficient form, for amplification. By amplifying the at least one
transformed signal, more efficient and/or less costly amplifier(s) can be used to
amplify the at least one signal in a linear fashion. Depending on the embodiment, at
least one signal to be amplified can be transformed into at least one transformed
signal by combining offset versions of the at least one original signal to produce the at
least one transformed signal having the energy of the at least one signal spread in time
and/or to produce the at least one transformed signal having a reduced peak to
average power ratio(s)(PAR). Multiple signals to be amplified can be transformed
into at least one transformed signal by combining the multiple signals, for example to
produce the at least one transformed signal having a reduced peak to average power
ratio(s) (PARs). After the at least one transformed signal is amplified, the resulting
signal(s) can be de-modulated, inversely transformed, de-spread or reconstructed to
recover a version(s) of the original signal(s).

Abstract: In a method of and a system for managing reselection of an initiator by a target on a SCSI bus, the target attempts to secure control of the bus for a first reselection cycle to reselect the initiator. If the target fails to secure control of the bus for the first reselection cycle and the target is selected by the initiator for a selection cycle, the target processes the selection cycle. However, concurrently with processing the selection cycle, substantially immediately after the bus becomes free, and before the target completes processing the selection cycle, the target attempts to secure control of the bus for a second reselection cycle to reselect the initiator. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An image forming apparatus of the present invention
includes a mount portion in which a toner container is
expected to be set from above. When the toner container
set in the mount portion runs out of toner, a spring causes
the toner container to hop up away from a position where
it is set. This promotes easy handling of the toner
container in a limited space available in the apparatus.
In addition, a toner conveying pump as claimed
comprises a tubular stator
and a rotor. To prevent toner from cohering in the form of lumps because
of frictional heat, the rotor is either made of resin containing a
lubricant for reducing friction, or it includes a metallic surface for
improving heat radiation away from the pump.
