Abstract: There is disclosed a thermal printer system (10) in which variations in voltage (and the energy corresponding thereto) supplied to resistance elements (40-1, 40-2 ... 40-n) of a print head are electronically compensated for. The voltage at the print head is monitored as a line of pixels is being printed pixel by pixel. Units of energy (corresponding to the measured voltage) which have been supplied to the resistance elements (40-1, 40-2 ... 40-n) are counted, the counts are added together pixel by pixel to obtain cumulative totals and the cumulative totals converted into "compensating" numbers. An image data number for each pixel is compared to the corresponding compensating number, and a respective resistance element (40-1, 40-2 ... 40-n) is pulsed (energized) a requisite number of times until the image data and compensating numbers match thus achieving a desired level of print density corresponding to the respective image data number. Since the overall print head temperature may change somewhat, depending on the duty cycle of the printing system, these temperature changes also are compensated for in a similar way.

Abstract: A method of scheduling requests from N² input queues (12 11 ,12 NN ) to N outputs (13 1 ,13 N ) is applied to an NxN switch (14) with each of the N input ports having N input queues, each of the N input queues for each of the N input ports corresponding to one of the N output ports. The method uses a request matrix with each row representing an input and each column representing an output. A bit in a given row and column of the matrix thus represents a request from a corresponding input port for connection to a corresponding output port. Diagonal service patterns are used to overlay the request matrix to determine which requests are to be serviced. A sequence of diagonal service patterns for each of K time slots is used in such a manner that a fairer and yet still computationally simple scheduler provides guaranteed service within the 2N-1 time slots.

Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, a nozzle member (18) containing an array of orifices (17) has a substrate (28), having heater elements (96/98) formed thereon, affixed to a back surface of the nozzle member. The back surface of the nozzle member extends beyond the outer edges of the substrate. Ink (99) is supplied from an ink reservoir within a print cartridge body (12) to the orifices by a fluid channel (52) within a barrier layer (30) between the nozzle member and the substrate. The nozzle member is adhesively sealed with respect to the print cartridge body by forming an ink seal (90) circumscribing the substrate, between the back surface of the nozzle member and the body. The print cartridge body is formed so that the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the body in the vicinity of the nozzle member in a critical direction is within about 100 PPM/C of the CTE of the nozzle member in the critical direction to reduce thermally induced stress on the nozzle member. This prevents delamination of the nozzle member from the barrier layer when the body and nozzle member cool after being heated.

Abstract: A low profile membrane switch adapted for use over an automobile steering wheel airbag assembly for actuating a horn. The low profile membrane switch is comprised of an opposing pair of flexible electrodes separated by a dielectric layer. The dielectric layer has a unique pattern defining opposing electrode contact portions. A plurality of integral outwardly-extending protrusions are screen printed on the exterior surface of each flexible electrode, one over each of the opposing contact portions. These protrusions help concentrate an applied force to bring the respective electrode contact portions together to make electrical contact with the other. The opposing contact portions are defined by the dielectric pattern, and have a high density to insure redundancy and closure of the switch when one depresses the membrane switch with one's hand, and to insure the switch does not inadvertently close when flexed. An applied force of as little as four pounds causes closure of the membrane switch, even when positioned over a resilient airbag device.

The sealing sleeve 30 has two sets of inwardly projecting ribs 32 which, in use, are pressed into sealing engagement with the respective ends of the pipes. The inner and outer casings are longitudinally split and tensioning screws 17 on the outer casing can be tightened to tighten the outer casing around the inner casing and the sealing sleeve. The inner and outer casings have end flanges 19 and 24 which provide lateral support for the sealing sleeve 30. Frustoconical slots 36 in the outer surfaces of the sealing sleeves receive frustoconical gripping rings 40 which have gripping teeth 42 on the inner sides which bite into the pipe surfaces to secure the pipes against axial displacement. End seals 34 formed as axial extensions of the sealing sleeve are trapped between the end flanges 19 and 24 and the pipe and prevent dirt grit and other contaminants entering the seal and corroding the gripping rings.

Inventor: BURKES THERESA A
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 1995-07-11
Abstract: A hierarchic disk array data storage system (10) has multiple storage disks (12) that define a physical storage space (34) and a RAID management system (16) that maps the physical storage space into two virtual storage spaces (40, 50). The RAID-level virtual storage space (40) presents the physical storage space (34) as mirror and parity RAID areas where the mirror RAID areas contain mirror allocation blocks to store data according to RAID Level 1 and the parity RAID areas contain parity allocation blocks to store data according to RAID Level 5. The application-level virtual storage space (50) presents the physical storage space (34) as multiple virtual blocks. The RAID management system (16) migrates data between the mirror and parity RAID areas to optimize performance and reliability. To ensure that sufficient space is retained for this migration, the RAID management system (16) limits the number of virtual blocks that are allocated in the mirror RAID areas. The maximum number of virtual blocks in mirror RAID areas is dynamically computed based upon a function of the physical capacity of the storage disks, the number of storage disks, and the allocated capacity at the time of each storage request from the user.
