IPC: B41J29/38
Filed: 1994-01-19
Abstract: A method of controlling an output control
apparatus, which is interposed between a data generating
source and an output unit, for controlling the output
unit, including a plurality of data generating steps of
generating data for the output unit upon interpreting a
plurality of printer languages, a discriminating step of
analyzing received data and specifying in which of the
plurality of data generating steps control based upon.
the data is carried out, a step in which, when one data
generating step has been specified by the discriminating
step, is for increasing the number of times the
specified data generating step is started, and a step in
which, when one data generating step based upon received
data cannot be specified in the discriminating step, is
for selecting one data generating step based upon the
number of times each data generating step started in the
past.

Abstract: A conveyor which includes one or more pocket
assemblies which are adapted to be transported in a closed
path. The assembly includes a pocket having two walls which
are hinged to each other. In the closed position, the walls
retain the product (newspaper) between them and, in their open
position, they are spaced apart and can receive the product
inserted therein. There is a pair of aligners mounted on the
pocket which move from a retracted position to a forward
position. If the product is misaligned in either direction
transverse to the path of the pocket, one of the other of the
aligners will contact the nearest edge of the product and push
it into a central position in the pocket.

Abstract: In a step S1, when the user executes a tuning
operation (a service-number input operation) on an
input section, the information is output to a control

whether the service number selected in the step S1
corresponds to a promotion channel. When it is
determined that the service number corresponds to a
promotion channel, the procedure proceeds to a step

Abstract: A Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) receiver performs a receiver initiated
recovery algorithm (RIRA) when the number of lost or out-of-order payload packets
exceed a predetermined value. In particular, the receiver maintains a number of variables:
the "next sequence number expected to be received" ( Sr ) value, and  Snl , which stores the
value of the currently received "next sent" ( Ns ) sequence number from the latest received
packet. When the value of  Snl  >  Sr  +  adjustment , the receiver portion resets the value of
 Sr  to the value of  Snl  and passes all packets to the upper layer of the protocol stack. The
value of the  adjustment  variable represents the number of packets that may be dropped or
out-of-order at the receiver before the receiver initiates recovery. The receiver also sends
(either via piggybacking or a zero-length message) an ACK packet to inform the sender of
the new  Sr  value at the receiver.

Abstract: The electro-optic apparatus (10) includes a primary heat sink (16)
and at least one submount (18) mounted to the heat sink. The
electro-optic apparatus (10) also includes a pump source (12), such as a
laser diode, mounted to a sidewall of the at least one submount (18). A
secondary heat sink (27) is also mounted to the at least one submount
with an active gain medium (14) mounted, in turn, to the secondary heat
sink (27). Typically, the active gain medium (14) is part of a
microlaser that also includes a passive Q-switch (24). The active gain
medium (14) is mounted to the secondary heat sink (27) such that the
active gain medium (14) extends in a cantilevered fashion from the
secondary heat sink so as to overlie the pump source (12) such that the
output of the pump source pumps the active gain medium (14). By
adjusting the position of the secondary heat sink (27) to the at least
one submount, the spacing between the pump source and the active gain
medium can be precisely controlled, thereby also controlling the
characteristics, such as the frequency, of the output signals emitted by
the electro-optic apparatus (10). Advantageously, the at least one
submount includes first and second submounts (18a,18b), both of which
are mounted to the primary heat sink (16) in a spaced apart
relationship. By mounting the pump source (12) and the active gain
medium (14) to different submounts, the electro-optic apparatus (10) can
more efficiently dissipate the heat generated during the operations
since separate thermal paths are established for the heat generated by
the pump source and the active gain medium.

Abstract: When highly redundant information that expresses
five tones using 4 bits is transferred to a printer in
terms of a unit data length in data transfer,
efficiency is very poor. Hence, multi-valued data is
quantized to 5-valued data, which is output as a 4-bit
code that can express five values. 4-bit codes for
three bits are combined to be converted into an 8-bit
code. The 8-bit codes are packed into data of a 16-bit
unit, and the packed data is transferred to the printer.

Abstract: Methods are described for assessing an individual's risk for developing early-onset glaucoma, and for developing glaucoma with a high intraocular pressure at onset of disease, by assessing the ApoE alleles and/or the ApoE gene promoter alleles of the individual. In individuals carrying mutations in the TIGR gene, the presence of an ApoE4 allele is indicative of an increased risk of developing early-onset glaucoma. In individuals carrying mutations in the TIGR gene promoter, the presence of an ApoE4 allele is indicative of an decreased risk of developing glaucoma with a high intraocular pressure at onset of disease. The combination of an ApoE4 allele and a 'T' allele of a ApoE gene promoter in an individual carrying a mutation in the TIGR gene is also indicative of an increased risk of developing early-onset glaucoma. The presence of a 'T' allele of an ApoE gene promoter, regardless of whether a mutation in the TIGR gene is present or absent, is indicative of an increased risk of developing glaucoma with a high intraocular pressure at onset of disease.

Abstract: A variety of performance optimization techniques are provided that are based upon a history of a user's usage patterns. To reduce actual response time, the system prefetches information in anticipation of the user's request. To reduce perceived response time, if a response to the user's request is likely to be delayed, the system initiates other anticipated fast-response processes for the user. To ease the user's interaction with the system, the user's interface is dynamically modified to facilitate the entry of anticipated requests. To improve security, increased security measures are invoked when the user's request pattern is inconsistent with prior request patterns. At a system level, performance assessments and optimizations, including dynamic load balancing, are based on the prior usage patterns of mulitple users.

The working current is detected, compared with a desired value and regulated to the desired value. The working current is first brought within a permitted control range by varying the voltage within defined limits; if this cannot be achieved the distance between the application device and workpiece is varied to bring the working current into the permitted range. Independent claims are also included for the following: an arrangement for implementing the method.
