Abstract: The object is to provide a technique whereby a non-operating nozzle can be detected with higher accuracy. The present invention resides in a printer for printing images by ejecting ink droplets from a plurality of nozzles, wherein an optical path in which light from a light-emitting element 40a for emitting light is focused by a first focusing element 41, allowed to pass through a focusing aperture 43a that is smaller than the area illuminate by the light, and transmitted through the focusing aperture 43a to a light-receiving element 40b for receiving light is laid out according to a configuration in which an intersection is formed with the path described by the ink droplets ejected by the nozzles. The light-emitting element 40a is energized and caused to emit light. The nozzles are actuated and ink droplets are ejected in the direction of a space in which the intensity of light is greater than a prescribed level and which is part of the optical path between the focusing aperture 43a and the light-receiving element 40b. A non-operating nozzle is then detected based on the fact that the light received by the light-receiving element 40b is blocked by the ink droplets thus ejected. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a jacket ring (10) for a casting roll of a strip casting machine, said jacket ring comprising a base material (A) containing a metal. An additional layer of material (C), consisting, at least partially, of ceramic particles, is applied either directly to said base material or to a layer of material (B) which is applied thereto. Said additional layer (C) consists of at least two different ceramic materials (C1, C2) which are randomly deposited on the entire surface of the jacket ring. Said embodiment of the jacket ring (10) of the casting roll enables the resistance to wear, and thus the durability, of the casting rolls to be significantly improved. Furthermore, the surface of the casting rolls can be made smooth as the ceramic particles conferring reduced heat conductivity on the layer of material (C1, C2) take on the function of the otherwise necessary grooves formed in the surface.

Abstract: Lost transmission packets are recovered using parity symbols. An encoder uses an input file of data and a key I selected from a key alphabet much larger than the number of input symbols in the input file to produce output symbols which might for example constitute entire transmission packets. An output symbol with key I generated by determining a weight, W(I), for the output symbol to be generated, selecting a number W(I) of the output symbols associated with the output symbol according to a function of I, and generating the output symbol's value B(I) from a predetermined valve function F(I) of the selected W(I) input symbols so that erasures can be recovered without grouping input symbols into blocks. An encoder can be called repeatedly to generate multiple output symbols. The output symbols are generally independent of each other, and an unbounded number (subject to the resolution of I) can be generated, if needed. A decoder receives some or all of the output symbols generated. The number of output symbols needed to decode an input file is equal to, or slightly greater than, the number of input symbols comprising the file, assuming that input symbols and output symbols represent the same number of bits of data.
