Title: Method of determining free subareas and free spaces
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 1992-03-16
Abstract: Method of determining free subareas on an area partially covered with rectangular objects and also a method of determining free spaces in a space partially filled with objects in the form of a right parallelepiped, in which method an essentially rectangular area to be covered or a space to be filled is depicted in the form of a two-dimensional or three-dimensional matrix, respectively, each element of the matrix representing a rectangle on the area or a right parallelepiped in the space and it being established for each element whether the corresponding rectangle in the area or the corresponding right parallelepiped in the space is free or occupied, after which the number of rows and columns and, possibly, layers of the matrix is reduced in accordance with a fixed algorithm until the unit matrix has been reached. During the matrix reduction, a search is continuously made for matrix elements which have a first logic value and which are bounded on all sides by elements having a second logic value; such an element indicates the presence of a free space in the (reduced) matrix. A dimension table is also determined for each of the dimensions, the length of each table being linked to the number of rows, columns and, possibly layers, respectively, of the matrix. During the reduction of the matrix, the dimension tables are updated in accordance with a fixed system, with the result that, whenever a free area or a free space is found during the reduction of the matrix, the position of said area or said space can be read off from the table. <IMAGE>

Title: Conservation of orthophosphate waste.
Inventor: BENDER FREDRIC GRANT
IPC: A23K1/175
Filed: 1993-10-01
Abstract: Phosphate is recovered from waste. Trialkali metal orthophosphate used to reduce, remove or retard bacterial contamination during raw meat slaughter including poultry, fish and shellfish and red meat evisceration is recovered from an aqueous waste and recycled as a food additive for animal feed. The waste water containing the phosphate can be collected and mixed with offal during processing of the offal or may be concentrated and blended with the offal as feed for animals or may be reacted with an alkaline earth metal salt and concentrated and used as a calcium and phosphate supplement for animal feed. Trisodium orthophosphate is reacted with calcium chloride and the resulting precipitate removed from the aqueous stream by filtration or centrifugation or other means for separation. The precipitate is then added to offal during processing for animal feed or dried sterilized and sold as an animal feed mineral supplement.

IPC: C30B25/00
Filed: 1997-10-28
Abstract: While a silicon substrate is heated, gold is evaporated
thereon at a thickness of 0.6 nm, whereby melted alloy
droplets are formed on the substrate surface. Then, the
silicon substrate is heated to 450°-650°C in a silane gas
atmosphere of less than 0.5 Torr. As a result, a silane gas
decomposition reaction occurs with the melted alloy droplets
serving as catalysts, whereby silicon wires grow on the
substrate surface. Subsequently, the metal alloy droplets at
the tips of the silicon wires are removed and surface
portions of the silicon wires are oxidized. Resulting
surface oxide films are thereafter removed. As a result,
silicon quantum wires that are thinner by the thickness of
the surface oxide films are obtained.

Filed: 1997-06-23
Abstract: A pseudo-random noise (PN) series generator
which can change the timing of generation of a PN series
arbitrarily and with no instantaneous cut-off of the
output. At the time of system start, the whole period or
a certain beginning length of a PN series generated by a
tapped shift register (101, 201, 301) is stored into a
RAM (102, 202, 302). The stored PN series is output from
a position designated by an address signal. An address
generator (105, 207, 307) for generating the address
signal on an externally applied timing control signal
(106, 208, 308) increments an address by one for each
step from an initial value set by the timing control
signal. In the case where a new timing different from
the old timing is set by the timing control signal, the
address is incremented or decremented instantaneously by
a difference between the old timing and the new timing
and a normal incrementing operation is thereafter started
again. The thus generated address signal is applied to
an address bus for the RAM, thereby making it possible to
instantaneously change the timing of generation of a PN
series output as required by the timing control signal.

Abstract: A swath printing system such as multi-color inkjet printing
which uses lower resolution printheads of at least 300 dpi nozzle
spacing to achieve high resolution output of at least 600 dpi
addressability in both the X (media advance) and Y (carriage
scan) axes. Increased resolution is achieved in the X axis in a
first embodiment by printing a first swath of color ink drops
onto a first group of pixel rows spaced apart at the lower
resolution distance (e.g., 1/300 inch) and extending in the Y
axis direction, advancing the media to re-position the nozzles,
and then printing a second swath of ink drops over a second group
of different pixel rows also spaced apart at the lower resolution
distance and extending in the Y axis direction, with the second
group of pixel rows interlaced between the first group of pixel
rows. A second embodiment provides increased resolution in the X
axis by offsetting two printheads of the same color ink so that
both the aforesaid first and second group of interlaced pixel
rows are printed on the same swath, the first group by nozzles of
one printhead and the second group by nozzles of the other.

Abstract: A temperature conduction with high decision in a state that the
changing of temperature of cooling water in an engine is forecast, and
achievement of a cooling control system with the improved life and reliability
and the reduction of costs. A butterfly valve 34b for regulating the flow of
cooling water is rotatably controlled through a DC motor 31, a clutch
mechanism 32 and a deceleration mechanism 33 so as to cool the engine at an
appropriate temperature. A PWM signal generated by a quick response
control and a PI control on the basis of at least load information of the engine
is supplied to the DC motor 31 from ECU, whereby the butterfly valve 34b is
rotatably controlled. A butterfly valve 133 adjusting the flow of cooling water
is controlled with the degree of valve opening by a thermo-element 135
enclosing a thermal expansive body such as wax. A PTC heater 140 is placed
to the thermo-element 135, and supplied with current for heating on the basis
of operation parameters of an engine to control the cooling efficiency of the
cooling water. In consequence, the characteristics of the butterfly valve which
is capable of extremely decreasing rotation torque for adjusting the flow of the
cooling water is used, so that elements of mechanical stress can be reduced,
resulting in the improved life and reliability.
