Abstract: A solid ink stick supply system (12) and related method for delivering solid ink
sticks to an ink jet print head reservoir is disclosed. The supply system (12)
includes a housing (14) with a keyed plate (20) that guides the ink sticks
(16A-16D) into the proper loading position in a supply channel (24). A
pusher rod (26) in the supply channel transfers an ink stick onto an endless
belt (30) for delivery to the print head reservoir (28). A push device (44) on
the endless belt engages and delivers the ink stick to the print head reservoir.
A second ink stick is transferred from the supply channel to the endless belt
and is retained on the belt by a stop device (58). A method for efficiently
loading ink sticks into the supply system is also provided.

Abstract: A fender (1,101,201) for a boat includes at least two connection
portions (10,20,111,221) to allow the fender (101) to be coupled to other
similar fenders (201) so that a number of similar fenders can
be connected to form a connected row of fenders. The
connection portions (10,20,111,221) are configured so that each of the
connection portions (111) of the fender (101) overlaps
longitudinally with a connection portion (221) of an adjacent
connected fender (201). Connecting a number of such fenders
together provides a long continuous composite fender
which can be used to protect a length of a boat hull
when moored against an irregular mooring surface.

of a type having a stratified combustion mode and a
homogeneous combustion mode comprises a controller
for increasing a fuel air ratio (or equivalent ratio) of an
air fuel mixture produced in the engine abruptly in a
transient state during transition from the stratified mode

Abstract: The constant voltage source of the arc ignition apparatus consists of an energy storage unit, in particular, a capacitor which is chargeable to a predetermined voltage using a charging unit. Before the arc is ignited or a contact is made between the workpiece and the meltable electrode, the latter is supplied with energy from a constant current source (3) and a constant voltage source (32), and is maintained by the constant voltage source at a high constant potential above 100 V. As the electrode contacts the workpiece for the first time, this potential causes a steep rise of the current to a predetermined maximum value. After this value is reached, the current provided by the constant voltage source diminishes, and the arc is maintained by the rising current from the constant current source. The constant voltage source consists of an energy storage unit, in particular, a capacitor which is chargeable to a predetermined voltage using a charging unit.

Abstract: The circuit includes an electro-optical mixer, such as an electro-optical Mach-Zehnder
modulator (2), with non-linear behaviour. The modulator (2) receives as
input an optical signal (P in ) at the frequency to be divided, in addition to an electric
signal (e 3 ) at a given frequency, usually corresponding to the frequency deriving
from such division. The output optical signal (P out ) from modulator (2) exhibits a
modulation spectrum containing the frequency difference between the frequency
to be divided and at least one harmonic of the frequency of the above electric
signal. After having been converted into an electric signal (e 1 ), the output signal
of the mixer is subjected to a filtering action (8) to extract the above frequency
difference component. This latter one is then used both as electrical signal (e 3 )
for the mixing, and as output signal from the divider (e 2 ). The preferred application
is to OTDM systems, to extract a synchronism signal at tributary signal frequency.

Abstract: Articulating overhead luggage bin assemblies (10) including a luggage bin (10) that it

aircraft. The bins (10) have an upper shroud portion (40), and a lower bucket portion (20), with
cooperating means for interconnecting these two bin portions so that the bucket
portion (20) is guided downward and forward relative to the shroud (40), when the bin (10) is
opened. The cooperating means are "rigid" so that each end of the bucket (20) moves in
concert with the other, without need for a torque tube or other motion control device
linking the bucket ends. The assembly also includes a downlock mechanism for
holding the bin (10) in a fully opened position. To close the bin (10), the downlock
mechanism is disengaged by application of backward force to the bucket portion. In
a preferred embodiment, the cooperating interconnecting means between the bucket
and shroud portions of the bin are "drawer-type guides" that are linear, and consist of
nested sheet metal lengths with interposed ball bearings that allow the lengths to
move smoothly relative to each other.

Abstract: In a ferroelectric integrated circuit, a hydrogen barrier layer (128, 628) comprising
titanium or titanium nitride or both is formed over a metal oxide element (124) to
protect it from hydrogen degradation. After hydrogen annealing and other process
steps causing hydrogenating or reducing conditions, the hydrogen barrier layer is
removed in a two-step etching process. The first etch step is a dry etch, preferably
a standard ion-mill etching process, which rapidly removes most of the hydrogen
barrier layer. The second step is a wet, chemical etch, preferably using a solution
containing NH 4 OH, H 2 O 2 , and H 2 O, which selectively removes remanents of the
hydrogen barrier layer from the circuit by oxidizing a chemical element of the barrier
layer. The metal oxide material preferably comprises a layered superlattice
