Abstract: An improved method and system that provides for a data access
interface layer in a navigation system. The navigation system is of the type
that includes a navigation application software program that provides navigating
features to a user of the system and a geographic database stored on a
computer-readable storage medium wherein the geographical database includes
information relating to the geographical region about which the navigation
system provides the navigation features to the user. The data access interface
layer is preferably stored in the navigation system as a library of software
functions. The data access interface layer operates in conjunction with the
navigation system application software. The data access interface layer isolates
the navigation application software from the geographic data which are stored
on the storage medium. The data access interface layer intercepts requests by
the navigation application software for geographic data. The data access
interface layer retrieves geographic data from the storage medium and converts
the data into a format usable by the navigation application software. The data
access interface layer also provides for memory management that facilitates
accessing and using geographic data from the particular storage medium quickly
and efficiently. By recognizing that different media types have different
physical formats, the data access interface layer accommodates and isolates the
differences so that the portions of the data access interface layer that interact
with the navigation application software can be generic.

Abstract: A print data processing pipeline (15) for use in a color
electrophotographic printer (16) optimizes print quality and minimizes memory
usage by separately processing lossy and lossless print data. Lossy print data
may include print data for images and lossless print data may include print data
for text, line art, and graphics. Partitioning print data into lossy and lossless
components allows application of the print data compression operations
optimized for each type of print data. High compression ratios can be achieved
on lossy print data by applying visually lossless compression operations designed
for the lossy print data. In addition, high compression ratios can be achieved on
the lossless print data by applying lossless compression operations designed for
the lossless print data. A merge unit (128) combines the lossy and lossless print
data streams after decompression to reconstruct the original image. Placement
of the color space conversion operation (12) and the halftone operation (14)
relative to the merge operation (13), further optimizes the print quality while
minimizing memory usage. The print data processing pipeline includes a direct
memory access controller (122) which has the capability to allow print data to
be selectively directed to the lossy (126) or lossless (127)
compressor/decompressor, the color space converter (125), or the merge unit
(128). Feedback paths within the print data processing pipeline (15) allow the
results of the various operations performed to be returned to the direct memory
access controller (122) for further processing or storage in system memory (2,
6). Bypass paths in the color space converter (125) and halftone unit (130)
allow print data to be selectively directed around these operations. These
capabilities allow configuration of the print data processing pipeline (15) to
perform a multitude of permutations of print data processing operations optimized
for the print data.

Abstract: A predetermined area of a photo-sensing surface of
a solar cell (104) is illuminated, and a voltage vs. current
characteristic is measured. Note, the rest of the photo-sensing
surface which is not illuminated is called a
dark area. Next, in a dark state in which the photo-sensing
surface is not illuminated, a dark
characteristic of the solar cell is measured. The
obtained dark characteristic is multiplied by a ratio of
the area of the dark area to the area of the photo-sensing
surface, thereby a dark characteristic of the
dark area is calculated. Then, a difference
characteristic between the measured voltage vs. current
characteristic and the dark characteristic of the dark
area is calculated. The difference characteristic is
multiplied by a ratio of the area of the photo-sensing
surface to the area of the illuminated portion, thereby
a voltage vs. current characteristic of the solar cell
in a state corresponding to that the entire area of the
photo-sensing surface is illuminated at once is obtained.

Title: Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Granulats für die Erzeugung von Zündkeimen in Treib- und Brennstoffen
Inventor: OBERLAENDER IRMTRAUD DR MED
IPC: C06B27/00
Filed: 1998-09-25
Abstract: Bekannte Oberflächenreaktoren für Treibstoffe arbeiten mit
einer Kupfer-Zinn-Legierung und wandeln ungesättigte
Kohlenwasserstoffe in geringer Konzentration in Zinnorganika
um, die extrem leicht entzündbar sind und deshalb bei der
Verbrennung der Treibstoffe als Zündkeime wirken. Allerdings
geht ein Teil der Wirkung beim Einsatz zur Ausbildung von
Zündkeimen in Treibstoffen verloren. 
     Mit dem neuen Verfahren soll die Wirkungsweise verbessert
werden. 
     Das Granulat wird in einer Legierung aus Zinn mit mindestens
einem lösungsaktivierenden Legierungsbestandteil erschmolzen
und in einem die Oxidation des Granulats verhindernden Medium
so abgeschreckt, daß eine Teilchengröße von bis zu 3 mm
Durchmesser und großer Oberfläche entsteht. 
     Das neue Granulat weist eine erheblich größere Oberfläche als
bisher für diesen Zweck verwendetes Granulat auf, wodurch
sein Wirkungsgrad höher ist, als dies bisher möglich war. Das
Granulat unterliegt keiner Alterung hinsichtlich seiner
Wirkung als metallischer Reaktionspartner in Treib- und
Brennstoffen, wodurch während der gesamten Lebensdauer des
Granulats dessen Wirkungsgrad voll erhalten bleibt.

Filed: 1999-07-20
Abstract: The invention is a method and system for determining an address from a print stream. Address determination begins by initiating the print stream at a remote application (11 - 16) . The print stream is transmitted through a graphical driver interface to a virtual driver where a system operator can select a data interface mode such as an eavesdrop mode and an intercept mode. The eavesdrop mode allows the virtual driver to pass the print stream through to the output device while producing a duplicate copy of the print stream for transmission to a server (40) which is linked to an address parsing module for parsing the print stream. The intercept mode allows the virtual driver to pass the print stream directly to the server (40) for parsing the print stream. The server will in turn pass the print stream to an output device such as a printer (60) or monitor (44) over transmission means. Parsing of the print stream to obtain address data is performed in accordance with instructions resident in the module. The address data is then placed into an address list or database. The selection of the address parsing module is further based upon the address characteristics required by the system user. The characteristics are defined by creating an address data profile comprised of tokens and wherein the tokens further define a characteristic of an address. The address parsing module can then be selected as based upon its particular address format which can be representative of a particular carrier.
