Abstract: The guide comprises foils with air flow diverting surfaces (16,18) positioned on to the side of the web (14) being transported by the felt (12). The boundary layer of air entrained by the web on the opposite side to the felt is forced through the gap between the foils and the web, creating a build-up of pressure at the entrance to the gap that urges the web downwards onto the felt. Preferably the foils are positioned on both sides of the web at an angle pointing towards the centre of the web in the machine direction (24). Foils on the opposite side of the felt strip entrain air away from the felt, creating a vacuum that sucks the web against the felt.

Abstract: The described method and apparatus permit much cheaper and quicker print
mode selection by at least semi-automating the process. In accordance with one preferred
method, a set of sample images produced by different print modes are printed on the media
(18) and the user selects the highest print quality from the samples. In accordance with
another preferred method, an optical detector makes the print mode selection by examining
the printed samples. In accordance with yet another preferred method, the optical detector
examines the medium itself for characteristics such as density, reflectivity, fibers, etc. and
automatically selects a print mode that is compatible with the print medium (18).

Abstract: An electrophoresis apparatus comprising an arched lid 2 covering an
electrophoresis tank 1, a suction opening 4 set in one end of the lid 2 and an
exhaust opening 7 set in the other end of the lid 2. On the outside of the
suction opening 4 is set a fan 5. The fan 5 absorbs the outside air, which
flows along the inner side of the lid 2 and is exhausted from the exhaust
opening 7 together with the vapor generated during electrophoresis, thereby
preventing clouding and bedewing of the inner surface of the lid.
Consequently, the inside of the electrophoresis tank 1 can be safely observed
without opening the transparent or semi-transparent lid 2 but through it.

Abstract: By the side of a powdery or granular material stacked in a
conical pile on a horizontal surface, a sensor (16) that
emits sensor light and, by receiving light reflected from a
spot illuminated by the sensor light, detects the distance
to the pile of the powdery or granular material is placed
with the optical axis of the sensor light horizontal. While
the sensor (16) is moved in a horizontal direction
perpendicular to the optical axis of the sensor light, the
distance to each of a plurality of measurement points
arranged horizontally at regular intervals along a line
that runs on said pile of the powdery or granular material
so as to face the movement path of the sensor. This step is
performed every time the sensor (16) is moved vertically a
predetermined distance at a time. In each session of the
step, a point is extracted that is closest to the sensor,
and a function describing a straight line approximating the
curve through all of the thus extracted points is
determined by the least-squares method. Then, the angle of
this straight line with respect to a horizontal plane is
determined.

Abstract: Topically relevant objects in an object database are first
identified using any generally known methods to obtain a set of topically
relevant objects (topically relevant set). Parents, and in alternative
embodiments other ancestors, of one or more of the topically relevant
objects are identified according to directional structural relationships
that the parents have with respect to the topically relevant objects.
These objects form a set of structurally relevant objects (structurally
relevant set). In some embodiments, the user query identifies one or
more of these structural relationships. The topically relevant objects
are then organized under one or more of their respective parents to form
a hierarchy level of both (topically relevant and structurally relevant)
sets of objects. In some preferred embodiments, the process can iterate
to create more than one hierarchy level.
