Abstract: A DC voltage boost circuit including a regulation circuit that produces a pulse width modulated control signal for regulating the output of the DC voltage boost circuit. Various embodiments of regulation circuits are disclosed. In one embodiment, the regulation circuit includes a waveform generator for generating a triangular waveform and a comparator for producing the pulse width modulated control signal by comparing the triangular waveform with a voltage that varies proportional to the booster output voltage. In another embodiment, the regulation circuit includes a waveform generator for generating a sawtooth waveform whose rise time varies inversely with the booster output voltage and a comparator for producing the pulse width modulated control signal by comparing the modulated sawtooth waveform with a substantially constant voltage. Yet, in another embodiment, the regulation circuit includes a counter for generating a count that sequentially cycles in response to a clock signal, wherein the counter is reset in response to a change in the booster output voltage, and a logic circuit for generating the pulse width modulated control signal from the count.

Abstract: Methods of handling messages at an interface in a communication system include the steps of receiving a message having an information element indicating the message's type, determining whether a frequency of receipt of messages of a predetermined type exceeds a threshold, handling the message in a normal way if the frequency does not exceed the threshold, and discarding the message if the frequency exceeds the threshold and the message is of the predetermined type. Such methods are useful in avoiding overloads after re-starts of serving GPRS support nodes or base station systems in packet-switched communication systems.

Abstract: Density sensors employed in a paper (12) manufacturing process are automatically calibrated on-line against sensors (22) working on exactly the same principle. Calibration is effected by determination of a mass balance and a calibration curve that is characteristic of the sensor. The process further uses a density sensor (40) which continually monitors the actual density of solids. This calibrated value is used to determine the actual quantity of solids present. Also claimed is a density sensor (22) calibration assembly.

Abstract: Hashes are short summaries or signatures of data files which can be used to identify the file. The disclosed method generates robust hashes for multimedia content, for example, audio clips. The audio clip is divided into successive (preferably overlapping) frames. For each frame, the frequency spectrum is divided into bands. A robust property of each band (e.g. energy) is computed and represented by a respective hash bit. An audio clip is thus represented by a concatenation of binary hash words, one for each frame. To identify a possibly compressed audio signal, a block of hash words derived therefrom is matched by a computer with a large database. Such matching strategies are also disclosed. In an advantageous embodiment, the extraction process also provides information as to which of the hash bits are the least reliable. Flipping these bits considerably improves the speed and performance of the matching process.

Abstract: A magnetorheological fluid delivery system includes a mixing and tempering vessel. Fluid is admitted to the vessel via a plurality of tangential ports, creating a mixing of the fluid in the vessel and promoting homogeneity. Fluid may be reconstituted in the vessel by metered addition of carrier fluid. A fixed-speed centrifugal pump disposed in the vessel pressurizes the system. Fluid is pumped through a magnetic-induction flowmeter and a magnetic flow control valve having solenoid windings whereby MR fluid is magnetically stiffened to restrict flow. A closed-loop feedback control system connects the output of the flowmeter to performance of the valve. A nozzle having a slot-shaped bore dispenses MR fluid for re-use in the work zone. A planar-diaphragm flush-mounted pressure transducer at the entrance to the nozzle and flowmeter inferentially measure relaxed viscosity and provide signals to a computer for dispensing metered amounts of carrier fluid into the mixing vessel to assure correct composition of the reconstituted fluid as it is dispensed.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing three-dimensionally shaped polymeric sheets and laminates with color-matched digitally printed full color ink jet images. A flexible thermoformable polymeric baseweb is placed in an ink jet printer and a solvent-based (non-aqueous) digital printing ink is applied directly to the baseweb, in the absence of an ink receptive layer on the baseweb, to form a decorative pattern in multiple colors in a single pass through the printer. The finished product can be thermoformed or injection molded to a three-dimensional shape. A protective topcoat can be laminated to the digitally printed sheet prior to the thermoforming and/or injection molding step. A process for making color-matched products comprises producing a software-driven image of a pattern on a screen representing a standard color print pattern; evaluating and adjusting the standard displayed on the screen using software-driven image related adjustments for hue, contrast, lightness/darkness, etc.; producing a test print by applying a decorative pattern to the baseweb by a digital ink jet printer and making an optional software-driven image-related adjustment in the standard to color match the standard to the test print image; and when the adjusted standard image displayed on the screen is acceptable, passing an image-related output to the digital ink jet printer for printing a decorative print color-matched to the accepted onscreen standard.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a screen printing stencil. According to the invention, a carrier surface is coated especially by means of a roller squeegee or an air squeegee, by screen roller application or by spray application, in such a way that a coating paste in an uncross-linked state consisting of a laser-engravable material is applied to a printing tissue, and is subjected to a hardening or cross-linking process, and the coating is then subsequently processed by means of laser radiation on the printing tissue. The coating paste consisting of a laser-engravable material is applied to a dimensionally stable transfer film, and is transferred from the transfer film to the printing tissue in the uncross-linked state. It has been proven advantageous to apply the coating paste to the printing tissue for the serigraphy, said printing tissue being stretched on a screen printing stencil, and to apply the coating over the entire surface or a part of the same.
