Abstract: A method is disclosed for automatically deleting a temporary document relationship within a data processing system. A relationship between one document and one or more documents is specified as a temporary document relationship. Thereafter, each time a document is to be deleted from the data processing system, all relationships of that document are examined to determine if any have been specified as temporary document relationships. After all documents linked to a selected document by a temporary documemt relationship have been deleted, the selected document itself is automatically deleted by the system. In this manner, a temporary electronically designated folder may be created to store a plurality of documents in a linear and hierarchical manner. After the last document within the folder has beer deleted, the folder itself is automatically deleted by this system. Similarly, a temporary stapler document relationship may be created by stapling a first document to a second document. In accordance with the method of the present invention, the deletion of either document will result in the automatic deletion of the remaining document in the staple relationship.

Abstract: A computer implemented system and method for automatically generating an executable version is based on component objects and events. Object-oriented language concepts of encapsulation, inheritance, and message passing are employed to simplify the specification and execution steps. Software maintenance includes the steps of assembling executable systems from defined component parts such as source code files and object code files. An object definition is provided for each software component containing a specification of its dependency upon other objects and processing methods that must be executed to create that object. An event definition is created for each process that is to be applied to the component objects. The event definition includes a specification of any prerequisite events and conditions for delivery of the event message. An object dependency interpreter is provided to recursively control the passing of events to the objects for action. It ensures that any prerequisite events are first executed and that any objects upon which the current object is dependent are processed before the present object. Inheritance is employed to simplify object definition through the definition of generic objects which the object dependency interpreter instantiates for processing. Mapped memory is used to store an object data structure containing the representation of component objects and event objects. Additional storage is used to retain component object file system status.

Abstract: An engine protection system and protocol is implemented within an electronic engine control module. Various engine fluid parameters, such as coolant level and temperature, oil pressure and temperature, and air intake manifold temperature, are monitored and compared to limit values to determine if a fluid fault condition exists as to one or more of the fluid parameters. The engine performance is derated as a function of the severity of the fluid parameter fault. Two levels of faults are sensed to activate one of two derating schedules. In one schedule, the engine power, or torque as a function of engine speed, is gradually reduced or derated as the fluid parameter moves farther out of normal operating range. With this derate schedule, the engine will still run and the driver can still operate the vehicle, albeit at lower power levels than a healthy engine. In a second schedule for more severe fault conditions, the maximum allowable engine speed is gradually reduced over a certain time period and to a certain percentage of the normal maximum engine rpm. Both schedules permit continued operation of the engine in a "limp home" mode for the less severe faults, and as required after a more severe fault to bring the vehicle safely to a stop. The engine protection system also stores an array of fault information that can be later accessed to investigate engine fluid parameter failures.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for determining an analyte in a medium suspected of containing the analyte. 
     One method comprises treating a medium suspected of containing an analyte under conditions such that the analyte; if present, causes a photosensitizer and a chemiluminescent compound to come into close proximity. The photosensitizer generates singlet oxygen and activates the chemiluminescent compound when it is in close proximity. The activated chemiluminescent compound subsequently produces light. The amount of light produced is related to the amount of analyte in the medium. Preferably, at least one of the photosensitizer and chemiluminescent compound is associated with a surface which is usually a suspendible particle, and a specific binding pair member is bound thereto. 
     Another method comprises providing (1) a medium suspected of containing the analyte, (2) a label reagent comprising a first specific binding pair (sbp) member associated with a photochemically activatable chemiluminescent compound wherein the first sbp member is capable of binding to the analyte or to a second sbp member to form a complex related to the presence of the analyte. This method further comprises photochemically activating the chemiluminescent compound. The amount of luminescence generated by the chemiluminescent compound is detected. The amount thereof is related to the amount of analyte in the medium. 
     Compositions and kits are also disclosed.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for processing image data of dot-matrix/ink-jet printed text to perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of such image data. In the method and apparatus, the image data is viewed for detecting if dot-matrix/ink-jet printed text is present. Any detected dot-matrix/ink-jet produced text is then pre-processed by determining the image characteristic thereof by forming a histogram of pixel density values in the image data. A 2-D spatial averaging operation as a second pre-processing step smooths the dots of the characters into strokes and reduces the dynamic range of the image data. The resultant spatially averaged image data is then contrast stretched in a third pre-processing step to darken dark regions of the image data and lighten light regions of the image data. Edge enhancement is then applied to the contrast stretched image data in a fourth pre-processing step to bring out higher frequency line details. The edge enhanced image data is then binarized and applied to a dot-matrix/ink jet neural network classifier for recognizing characters in the binarized image data from a predetermined set of symbols prior to OCR.

Abstract: This invention is for a method for varying the melting points and molecular weights of syndiotactic polyolefins by using metallocene catalysts with substituents on the aryl rings of a fluorene ligand in certain positions. Electron donating substituents, for example, dialkylamino, halogen, and alkoxy groups, when present on fluorene at C1, C2, C3 or C2 and C7 render the catalyst less active and decrease the polymer molecular weight. Electron donating substituents, such as alkyl, dialkylamino, halogen or alkoxy, at C4 not only increased the catalyst efficiency but also dramatically increased the polymer molecular weight. Bulky hydrocarbyl substituents, such as alkyl, cycloalkyl and aryl groups, at C2 and C7 increase the melting point. Bulky substituents such as hydrocarbyl groups like alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkoxy and dialkylamino groups etc., at C4/C5 decrease the melting point. When multiple substituents are present on fluorene, their effects are additive.

Abstract: A zero-power sense amplifier for implementing a wide or multiple input NOR gate for receiving a product term of a group of array cells in a programmable logic device (PLD). In a sleep mode, or low power mode, the zero-power sense amplifier latches its previous state while drawing negligible power rather than returning to one particular state, such as a low state, as in previous devices, enabling recovery time to be reduced after entering an awake mode. The zero-power sense amplifier further reduces recovery time upon powering up from a sleep mode by maintaining the product term voltage close to a threshold input voltage during sleep mode while still drawing negligible power.
