Abstract: A system for the real time adjustment of the flow of customers to one or more particular
attractions (22), thereby permitting optimization of the capacity of the attraction with the
demand of customers comprises a first queue (24) by which said customer may access said
particular attraction by waiting in line, a second queue (26) 'by which said customer may
access said particular attraction (22) in a manner which avoids the first queue (24), as well
as a first validator (32) for validating an entitlement of said customer to access the second
queue (26). The system further comprises a controller (44) for unilaterally determining,
generating and issuing an assigned range of time at which said customer may access said
particular attraction (22) via the second queue (26), wherein said controller (44) comprises a
processor for determining at one or more times, a real time operating capacity of said
attraction, said processor providing data about said real time operating capacity to said
system for generating said assigned range of time, a data storage device for storing data
regarding times previously assigned to customers and wherein said system is arranged to
permit or deny validation of said customer to entitlement to an assigned time based on said
stored data, and a second validator (34, 42) for permitting the entitled customer access to
assigned attraction (22) at the assigned range of time.

Abstract: An oxygen concentrator system with altitude compensation includes at least one
oxygen concentrator sub-system and a plenum subsystem. The at least one oxygen
concentrator sub-system produces oxygen-enriched air which is outputted to both the oxygen
concentrator system output and to a plenum chamber within the plenum subsystem. The
plenum chamber is trickle charged with the oxygen-enriched air when the at least one oxygen
concentrator sub-system produces an excess amount of oxygen-enriched air. Should the
demand for oxygen-enriched air exceed the capability of the at least one oxygen concentrator
sub-system, additional oxygen-enriched air is provided by the plenum chamber until such
time that the capability of the at least one oxygen concentrator sub-system exceeds the
demand for oxygen-enriched air. At that time, oxygen-enriched air is no longer provided by
the plenum chamber but rather the plenum chamber is again trickle charged. A
monitor/controller having an absolute pressure transducer controls the cycle times of the
oxygen concentrator subsystem in accordance with an ambient barometric pressure measured
by the absolute pressure transducer.

Abstract: A process for forming nickel silicide 170 and silicon nitride 190 structure in a semiconductor integrated circuit device 110 is described. Good adhesion between the nickel silicide 170 and the silicon nitride 190 is accomplished by passivating the nickel silicide surface with nitrogen. The passivation may be performed by treating the nickel silicide surface with plasma activated nitrogen species. An alternative passivation method is to cover the nickel silicide with a film of metal nitride and heat the substrate to about 500° C. Another alternative method is to sputter deposit silicon nitride 190 on top of nickel silicide 170.

Abstract: A microwave oven which has a simple structure, and steams food placed in a cooking cavity (2) without requiring a separate steaming container. A magnetron (3a) irradiates microwaves into the cooking cavity through a microwave inlet hole (21). A steaming plate (50) partitions the cooking cavity into first and second (e.g. lower and upper) sections. The first section receives a water container and generates steam by microwave heating. The steaming plate (50) blocks the microwaves from reaching the second section but allows the steam to pass therethrough, such that food in the second section is cooked by steaming.

Abstract: A fast optical switch is needed to realize an economical and scaleable optical-core
network. In the disclosed optical switch, switching is effected by rapid
wavelength conversion. Either channel switching, Time Division Multiplex (TDM)
switching or both may be provided by the fast optical switch. The operation of the
fast optical switch is enabled by a fast scheduler. The throughput of the optical
switch may be increased through a process of bimodal pipelined connection-packing.
An in-band exchange of control signals with external nodes may serve to minimize
the control overhead. Such control signals may include time-locking signals and
connection-requests. A modular structure may be configured to comprise several
fast optical switches to yield a high-speed, high-capacity, fully-connected optical
switch.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a technique for detecting that all components that make up a completed portion of a form (20) are synchronized. A method is provided for detecting that for a print job, all of the components that make up a completed portion of each form (20) are printed in synchronicity or in the case of an error in synchronicity, an error condition is asserted. The print job comprises at least one form (20), and each form (20) may contain more than one image, each image may contains one or more image planes (12, 14, 16, 18) and the images on each form of a document may vary. Each image contains a composite image group (CIG) mark (26) comprising the set of image plane coordination (IPC) marks (24) associated with each individual image plane. An IPC mark (26) is printed by each print engine such that it is possible via inspection of these marks to determine if the complete set of image planes that make up a specific image is present. The present invention allows one to confirm, using the CIG marks (26), that all forms in a print job are synchronized.

Abstract: A brake control apparatus is provided that distributes an engine braking torque Tbe to the front and rear wheels (1L, 1R and 3L, 3R) in accordance with an ideal braking torque distribution to suppress and prevent the tendency for one of either the front or rear wheels (1L, 1R and 3L, 3R) to lock when the engine braking torque operates. When the road surface friction state is a low friction state and the engine braking torque operates, the brake control apparatus derives an engine braking torque Tbe and distributes the engine braking torque Tbe to the front and rear wheels (1L, 1R and 3L, 3R) in accordance with the ideal braking torque distribution. In addition, when the engine braking torque reduction amount is small, the engine (2) drives a generator (4) connected to the engine (2). When the friction state between the wheels and the road surface is not in the low friction state, the generator (4) attached to the engine (2)is operated as a motor that supplements driving of the engine (2) to reduce the engine braking torque of the engine (2).

Abstract: By detecting surrounding illuminance with a reception unit (340) provided on a display controller (300), a change in the illuminance is recognized. A microcomputer (370) determines presence/absence of user's input operation through a terminal operating section (330) of a display controller (300). When recognizing the input operation, the microcomputer (370) restricts a process of calculating, with a luminance controller (360), a luminance control value that sets the luminance of an image display (320) to the luminance corresponding to a change in the illuminance and outputting the luminance control value to the image display (320) until a predetermined time has elapsed even if the illuminance has changed during the predetermined time. This prevents a situation where a user cannot see clearly a display window due to the change in the luminance at input operation time, thereby facilitating the input operation.
