Abstract: A metering roller (30) and feed guide (28/128) are included in a desktop printer
between a first roller (22) and a print zone (18). During first side printing, a media sheet (38) is
fed along the first roller and directed by an upper feed guide (26) over the refeed guide to a second
roller. The metering roller feeds the media sheet through the print zone. As the trailing edge
approaches a metering pinch line, the metering roller stops. After a drying time, the second roller
reverses direction moving the media sheet back toward the refeed guide. The refeed guide blocks
the original path and directs the media sheet toward a repick guide and the first roller. The media
sheet is fed onto the first roller for second side printing. In one embodiment the media sheet is
wrapped around the first roller and unwrapped into the input tray (12) during the refeed process to
accommodate long media sheets.

Abstract: An optical node system for an optical ring network reduces certain costs associated with current
ring architectures by using at least a portion of the light from an incoming optical signal to transmit an
outgoing optical signal. In accordance with certain embodiments, the node includes an optical multiplexer
which receives optical signals having a plurality of wavelengths. The optical multiplexer can be configured
to output optical signals having certain wavelengths and to route at least one optical signal from the ring of at
least one particular wavelength (or wavelength band) to a corresponding optical transceiver. The optical
transceiver receives the incoming optical signal of the particular wavelength routed from the optical
multiplexer and transmits at least a portion of the light from the incoming optical signal having the particular
wavelength. The optical transceiver can modulate user information onto the light of the particular
wavelength and/or pass at least a portion of the incoming optical signal for transmission as an outgoing
optical signal onto the optical ring network. Thus, the optical node system alleviates the need for nodes to
have a laser tuned to the particular wavelength for transmitting an outgoing optical signal having the
particular wavelength.

Abstract: A job is selected from a job list, and is either
copied or is extracted from a job storage unit. The
job, or the copy, is transmitted to a designated
destination. A transmission job or a printing job is
stored in conjunction with a corresponding execution
time in the job storage unit, so that a job can be
selected from the job list and the execution time for
the selected job can be changed. Further, the jobs
stored in the print queue are displayed as a list, and
a selected job is moved from the print queue to the job
storage unit, so that the printing of the job in the
print queue can be performed. In addition, the
histories of jobs that were executed are displayed as a
list, so that a specific job can be selected and reexecuted.
Furthermore, a process that is performed is
managed for the user who instructed the process. When
logout is instructed, management data are examined in
order to determine whether there is an unprocessed job
that was previously instructed by the user. If an
unprocessed job is found, the user is notified. If the
operator is a manager, a menu is displayed so that all
the jobs in the print queue can be deleted. When jobs
are deleted, the owners of the individual jobs are
notified. Furthermore, a job that is to be published
is selected from the job list and a publication time
limit is set. Then, the selected job, accompanied by 
its publication time limit, is added to the published
information list. The publication time limits for all
the jobs included in the list are examined, and the
jobs for which the publication time limits have not yet
expired are displayed. As a result, the published
information can be read or printed by another
apparatus.

Abstract: An improved method of manufacturing thick film chip resistors in mass production is described. By applying two or more resistance layers per chip resistor, less variance in the eventual resistance value is obtained if the resistors are manufactured in mass production using substrate plates. Less variance in the resistance value implies less trimming activity, which leads to a considerable cost reduction. Moreover, the use of two or more sub-layers enables application of TCR compensation by applying a resistive material having a positive TCR for one sub-layer and a resistive material having a negative TCR for the other sub-layer.

Abstract: A new oscilloscope design improves the processing of acquired
voltage-versus-time data through the efficient high speed acquisition and
rasterization of such data into a form that includes multiple-bits-per-pixel
intensity information. The multi-bit-per-pixel variable intensity rasterizer is
optimized for maximum throughput and most efficient use of memory
bandwidth. In the presence of faltering trigger rates, rasterization interruption
provides a high probability of capturing the data associated with the slow
triggers. Circuitry is provided to compensate for acquisition time and
amplitude non-linearities. Many-bits-per-pixel intensity information is
mapped into a fewer-bits-per-pixel format by a controllable transfer function
that provides multiple viewing capabilities for the operator. Another mode of
operation emphasizes infrequent events over commonly occurring ones using
variations in brightness or color.

Abstract: This invention provides a method and apparatus for associating call data with
particular users instead of line ports. This call data includes the last incoming and
outgoing calls associated with a particular number. This allows the services such as
automatic callback, automatic recall, and customer originated trace to be implemented
with dynamic line assignment allowing users to maintain the same level of subscribed
services at different locations. For mobile users, automatic callback, automatic recall,
and customer originated trace can be implemented at the home mobile switching center
as well as roaming mobile switching centers. If the mobile user is roaming, updating
the call history of the mobile station at the new mobile switching center allows the
mobile user to experience seamless services across a large territory.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé de production en continu de corps en carbone allongés, notamment d'électrodes en carbone produites directement du four de fusion. Une enveloppe métallique contenant une pâte carbonée non cuite, constituée d'un matériau en carbone, solide, particulaire et d'un liant carboné, est réduite en continu ou pratiquement en continu dans un four de cuisson chauffé à une température comprise entre 500 et 1200 °C. La pâte d'électrode non cuite est cuite dans un corps en carbone solide, l'enveloppe étant agrandie par l'assemblage de nouvelles sections sur sa partie supérieure au moment où elle est réduite dans le four de cuisson. La partie inférieure de chaque section de l'enveloppe a un diamètre externe égal ou inférieur au diamètre interne de la partie supérieure de chaque section. Ce procédé se caractérise en ce que chaque nouvelle section de l'enveloppe est montée sur la section se trouvant en dessous de sorte que la partie inférieure de la nouvelle section soit positionnée à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe dans la partie supérieure de la section située en dessous de la nouvelle section. La longueur de la partie inférieure de chaque section de l'enveloppe a une extension telle que la nouvelle section, lors de la cuisson, peut glisser librement vers le bas par rapport à la section de l'enveloppe située en dessous de la nouvelle section à une distance qui compense au moins le rétrécissement de la pâte d'électrode contenue dans l'enveloppe lors de la cuisson du corps en carbone.
