Patent EP-0887763-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DUFFIN DARREN LEE
IPC: B41J5/30
Filed: 1998-05-12
Abstract: An improved printer (10) is provided that receives
a print job from a host computer and divides the bitmap
image of a page to be printed into a series of image
blocks or tiles. Each image block containing non-null
data will be stored in the printer's memory system. The
null image data blocks will not be stored in the
printer's memory system, but instead only their
locations on the physical printed page will be stored in
a "block list table." Each entry in the block list
table contains the beginning address of the physical RAM
area that contains one of the image data blocks, and
also contains other variables or attributes concerning
the particular image data block, such as whether or not
this block is a regular non-null data block, or a "no-op"
(or "NOP") block containing null data. Null data
blocks require no physical memory address to be listed
in their entry on the block list table, since no
physical RAM areas are needed for storing null bitmap
image data. The invention builds in a cache a series of
rasterized line segments of bitmap data in real time and
sends them to the laser printhead "on the fly," by
retrieving a single rasterized line segment of data,
block-by-block, as needed to complete a single entire
line required to define a "scan line" to be created on a
photoconductive drum. While a particular block list
entry resides in the cache, the block address is
inspected to direct a read operation from the
corresponding area of RAM that is holding the bitmap
"real data" for this particular block. By use of
pointers, the appropriate rasterized line segment of 
bitmap data will be retrieved from the corresponding
memory locations in RAM, and transferred into a first
in, first out (FIFO) memory in the ASIC. As the laser
printhead requires data for this particular line
segment, the FIFO memory will provide serialized data at
the appropriate data transmission rate. If the
particular block of data is a null block, then when its
corresponding block list entry is inspected while
residing in the cache, its "NOP" attribute will indicate
that the printer's image system should not look to the
RAM to find the "real data" for this particular block's
rasterized line segment, but instead should pull a line
segment of null data from a special NOP register
residing within the ASIC. This NOP register will feed a
line segment of either all zeros or ones (depending upon
whether regular image data or reverse image data is
desired for the printed page) to the FIFO memory in the
ASIC. This null data then will be sent to the laser
printhead at the appropriate data transmission rate from
the bottom of the FIFO memory.

Abstract: The dispenser consists of a container (1) holding the liquid (L), a spray head (5) and a plunger tube (7) connecting the intake of the head to the liquid. The plunger is equipped with at least one porous element (10) with open pores for the liquid to pass through, while the plunger tube itself is impervious to the liquid. In one variant of the design the plunger tube can be made from a porous polypropylene cylinder coated with a layer of varnish to make it impermeable to the liquid for almost its whole length, except for a tip forming a porous intake. In another the plunger can be a hollow polyethylene tube with a porous insert or end cover.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a method and apparatus for enforcing software licenses for resource libraries such as an application program interface (API), a toolkit, a framework, a runtime library, a dynamic link library (DLL), an applet (e.g. a Java or ActiveX applet), or any other reusable resource. The present invention allows the resource library to be selectively used only by authorized end user software programs. The present invention can be used to enforce a 'per-program' licensing scheme for a resource library whereby the resource library is licensed only for use with particular software programs. In one embodiment, a license text string and a corresponding license key are embedded in a program that has been licensed to use a resource library. The license text string and the license key are supplied, for example, by a resource library vendor to a program developer who wants to use the resource library with an end user program being developed. The license text string includes information about the terms of the license under which the end user program is allowed to use the resource library. The license key is used to authenticate the license text string. The resource library in turn is provided with means for reading the license text string and the license key, and for determining, using the license key, whether the license text string is authentic and whether the license text string has been altered. Resource library functions are made available only to a program having an authentic and unaltered license text string.
