Patent EP-1132213-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ZAPATA ELIZABETH
IPC: B41J2/01
Filed: 2001-03-01
Abstract: A printhead (23, 24, 25, 26) makes passes (16, 17;
1st pass, 2nd pass, 3rd pass; 102) over a printing medium
(4A), each pass forming a swath (94, 95, 96) of marks on
the medium. In one aspect of the invention, between
passes the medium steps (105) by a nonzero distance that
varies (185) from step to step. In another aspect, swath
edges (b3, b4, e1, e2) are spaced away (117) ― ideally
well away (175) ― from each other. In yet another aspect
a printer has a reciprocating carriage (20) ― to carry a
printhead (23, 24, 25, 26) for forming, in each certain
multiple of a half-reciprocation (16 or 17), a swath of
marks on the medium. Each head includes multiple printing
elements, a number of combinations of groups of which are
used to print each region of each swath; the invention
increases (181) the number of combinations used to print
each region. In still another aspect, the step distance
is random or randomized (114, 173). Ideally these aspects
are all used together. Preferably step distance varies at
every step (106, 184) ―  e. g.  alternating between two
values (111), such as a sixth and a half of swath height
(113), for three passes (Fig. 6; 171); the number  N  of
passes is odd, and the distance varies among values of
form (2 n  - 1)/2 N ,  n  ranging from 1 through  N  (182, 112);
banding (98') with the method has twice the spatial frequency
(116) of banding (93") with nonvarying step distance;
no two swath edges (b3, b4, e1, e2) coincide, and
the distance is random or randomized (173, 114); an installed 
algorithm (64, 72, 85) for accommodating print-medium-advance-directionality
error is adapted (174, 178,
115) for step control; and the certain multiple is one
half (16 or 17) or one full reciprocation, or two full
reciprocations.

Abstract: An apparatus linearizing and technique for linearizing a non-linear power
amplifier (108) used in a transmitter of, e.g., a TDMA mobile wireless telephone.
Linearization of the non-linear amplifier by changing the shape of the input signal is
performed when the input signal level is high, thus increasing efficiency or reducing
power consumption at that time, albeit at the cost of increased inter-symbol interference
(ISI). However, since the input signals at that time are at a high level, the increased ISI
can be tolerated and adjacent symbols can still be distinguished from one another. The
invention allows use of a non-linear power amplifier (108) which typically enjoys a
lower current consumption than that of a linear power amplifier, thus increasing the
time between battery recharges and/or reducing the overall size of the wireless
telephone device. The power amplifier is operated in a linear mode when transmitted
power is low, thus allowing differentiation between adjacent symbols (i.e.,
improvement of ISI). At high input power, the power amplifier is used in its non-linear
mode to reduce current consumption. The signal shape is changed by changing the
parameters of the root raised cosine filters (106). When the input level is low, the
existing, otherwise conventional filter's parameters (102) are used. However, when the
input power level is high, modified parameters (104) are used. Switching between the
two sets of filter parameters is preferably performed at baseband. Thus, a relationship
between RRCF filter parameters and the amount of spectrum utilized by the transmitted
signal is utilized, and RRCF filter parameters are adjusted based on a desired limitation
to an output spectrum.

Abstract: The invention relates to a new and efficient staged gasification
process characterized by a close integration of the gas cleaning
part. 
The unit and process use a new device named Total Char Combustion and
Tar Cracking Chamber (TCC) 2  positioned between a pyrolysis unit
(PYR) and a char reduction reactor (CRC), in a stage divided gasifier.
The char conversion takes place in 2 steps. In the first step, the char
produced in the pyrolysis unit (PYR) is introduced in the (CRC) whose
main purpose is to convert as much as possible carbon of the char. The
(CRC) belongs to the fluidized bed type. The second step takes place in
the (TCC) 2  whose purpose is to perform both a complete
conversion of the remaining carbon still present after reaction in the
(CRC); and the thermal cracking of the tar contained in the pyrolysis
gases, the residual ashes being vitrified simultaneous and eliminated as
a slag. 
Low grade feedstock with low melting point ashes can be used: straw and
bark. 
A new vibrofluidized pyrolysis unit is implated to achieve an
appropriate and constant quality of char with a minimum preparation of
the biomass, and offers the opportunity to orientate the process for gas
or solid. 
     The invention leads to the following advantages: higher tolerance
toward different quality of feedstocks including low grade feedstocks;
recovery of the residual carbon content in ashes; production of a clean
gas (low residual tar, ashes and alkali) for a direct injection in an
engine/turbine. These results will induce a higher efficiency of the
process and consequently bring to maturity the gasification technology.

Abstract: A digital system and method of operation is provided in
which several processing resources (340) and processors (350)
are connected to a shared translation lookaside buffer (TLB)
(300, 310(n)) of a memory management unit (MMU) and thereby
access memory and devices. These resources can be instruction
processors, coprocessors, DMA devices, etc. Each entry location
in the TLB is filled during the normal course of action by a set
of translated address entries (308, 309) along with qualifier
fields (301, 302, 303) that are incorporated with each entry.
Operations can be performed on the TLB that are qualified by the
various qualifier fields. A command (360) is sent by an MMU
manager to the control circuitry of the TLB (320) during the
course of operation. Commands are sent as needed to flush
(invalidate), lock or unlock selected entries within the TLB.
Each entry in the TLB is accessed (362, 368) and the qualifier
field specified by the operation command is evaluated (364).
This can be task ID field 302, resource ID field 301, shared
indicator 303, or combinations of these. Operation commands can
also specify a selected virtual address entry (305). Each TLB
entry is modified in response to the command (366) only if its
qualifier field(s) match the qualifier(s) specified by the
operation command.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining whether a urine sample has been obtained from a subject suffering from a kidney disorder involving kidney damage. The method is based on determining the level of a proteolytic enzyme in urine from the subject sample and optionally comparing this level with a reference value. The proteolytic enzyme preferably is a matrix metalloprotease, in particular MMP-2 or MMP-9. The method is particularly suitable for subjects with a condition or disorder that is associated with an increased risk of kidney disorders, such as diabetes. The method may advantageously be applied for early detection of kidney damage, in particular when the subject does not yet show any sign of microalbuminuria. The method may also be applied to a subject undergoing dialysis for determining whether the subject is suffering from remodelling of the peritoneal membrane. Thus, the method is particularly suited for patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
