Abstract: A magnetically actuated ink jet printing device for use in an ink jet printer
ejects ink droplets by deforming a diaphragm (38) with the force generated on an
electrode (40) in a magnetic field when an electric current pulse is applied
thereto. In one embodiment, the diaphragm (38) of the device is provided by
anisotropically etching a silicon substrate (32) with an etch stop which provides
a thin membrane of silicon material for use as the diaphragm (38). An electrode
(40) having an input and output terminal (45, 42) is patterned over the diaphragm
(38) and a sacrificial layer (64) is deposited over the silicon substrate surface
containing the diaphragm (38). The sacrificial layer (64) is patterned to
subsequently provide the ink ejection chamber (49) over the diaphragm (38). A
patternable layer (44) is deposited over the silicon substrate surface including the
sacrificial layer and patterned to provide the nozzles (46) and expose the
electrode terminals (45, 42). The sacrificial layer (64) is removed and an ink
supply is connected to the space previously occupied by the sacrificial layer (64).
Magnetic field generating means having a predetermined magnetic field strength
are placed adjacent the device, and electric current applied to the electrode
terminals (45, 42) in a predetermined direction relative to the magnetic field
produces a force necessary to deform the diaphragm (38) and eject an ink droplet
from the nozzles (46) of the printing device.

Abstract: An image development method and apparatus, wherein an imaging member (12) having an imaging surface is provided with a layer of marking material (58) thereon, and an electrostatic latent image is created (by 40) in the layer of marking material (58). Image-wise charging of the layer of marking material (58) is accomplished by a wide beam ion source (60) such that free mobile ions are introduced in the vicinity of an electrostatic latent image associated with the imaging member having the layer of marking material (58) coated thereon. The latent image associated with the imaging member causes the free mobile ions to flow in an image-wise ion stream corresponding to the latent image, which, in turn, leads to image-wise charging of the toner layer (58), such that the toner layer itself becomes the latent image carrier. The latent image carrying toner layer is subsequently developed and transferred to a copy substrate (70) to produce an output document.

Abstract: Centrally controlled wireless networks require reliable communications between the central controller and each of the stations within the wireless networks. The structure of a wireless network is often dynamic, or ad-hoc, as stations enter and exit the network, or are physically relocated. The selection of the central controller for the network may also be dynamic, either because the current central controller desires to exit the network, or because the communication between the current central controller and one or more of the stations is poor. This invention discloses a method and apparatus for assessing the quality of the communication paths among all stations in the network. This assessment is useful as a continual monitor of the quality of the network, and can be utilized to select an alternative central control station based upon the quality of communication paths to and from this station. Additionally, the quality assessment can be utilized to establish relay communication paths, as required.

Ce dernier est alors inséré dans la trame STM d'ordre supérieur (STM-4, STM-16, STM-64). Une structure de multiplexage correspondante comporte un contenant virtuel de plus grande taille (VC-5, VC-6) dans lequel les contenants virtuels d'ordre supérieur (VC-4, VC-3) peuvent être multiplexés dans leur ensemble dans le but d'être ultérieurement insérés dans la trame STM d'ordre supérieur (STM-4, STM-16, STM-64). De ce fait, lorsque plusieurs contenants virtuels d'ordre supérieur sont transférés entre les mêmes noeuds du réseau, il est nécessaire de transférer moins de données auxiliaires, et il est possible de réduire les exigences en matière d'équipement de traitement et de tampons de pointeurs des éléments du réseau pour la gestion de tels signaux.

towards the upstream connection terminal (U) of the electric machine. 
     At least a part of the magnetic field energy as present in the magnetic circuit before
commutation is transformed into the magnetic field energy in the magnetic circuit after
commutation has been performed. The electric machine according to the invention
operates with wider air gaps between stator and rotor poles; therefore no considerable
