Patent EP-0868062-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ROBERTS JOHN T
IPC: B41J29/38
Filed: 1998-03-12
Abstract: A method for automatically configuring a printer (11)
in a network (2) is provided. In practice, an unconfigured
printer (11) is communicatively coupled to the network (2)
and begins transmitting an advertising protocol (SAP). In
turn, an entry, varying as a function of the advertising
protocol (SAP) is entered into a table. In response to
reading the entry, an auto install program creates a set of
print related objects and stores them for use with a print
service manager. By reference to the objects, the print
service manager communicates information to a broker for
indicating to a set of network users that print operations
can be performed with the previously unconfigured printer
(2).

Abstract: A process of preparing a polymer comprises conducting ring-opening
polymerization of a 4- to 10-membered ring-opening polymerizable
cyclic monomer in the presence of a phosphazenium salt of an active
hydrogen compound represented by the chemical formula (1) :
 
wherein n is an integer of 1 to 8 and indicates the number of
phosphazenium cations, Z n-  is an anion of a n-valent active hydrogen
compound derived by releasing n protons from an active hydrogen
compound having a maximum of 8 active hydrogen atoms, a, b, c and d are
individually a positive integer or 0 and are not all 0 at the same
time, R's are the same or different hydrocarbons having 1 to 10 carbon
atoms, and two R's located on each common nitrogen atom may be coupled
together to form a ring structure ; or in the presence of the
phosphazenium salt of the active hydrogen compound and the active
hydrogen compound. 
     The process can produce a polymer by ring-opening
polymerization of a 4- to 10-membered ring-opening polymerizable cyclic
monomer in the presence of an initiator which causes no specific 
problems in terms of preparation and handling, contains no metallic ingredients and
has no residual odor.

Abstract: A three dimensional magnetic resonance imaging technique is utilised to generate 1/Nth
of a complete data set from a first selected slab ( 38a ). The data set is complete in a read
direction and a first phase encode direction and 1/Nth complete in a second phase encode
direction. The selected slab is shifted by 1/Nth its dimension in the second phase encode
direction and another 1/Nth complete data set is generated. This process is repeated until
N data sets are generated. The N data sets are reconstructed into a slice image which
slice images are stacked in a three dimensional final image memory ( 94 ) and which are
projected ( 96 ) along a selected projection direction into a projection image ( 40 ). The
process is repeated with each new data set replacing the oldest data set in memories ( 84 1 ,
84 2   ...) to generate a stack of slice images which are projected into the projection image.
At any time during the process, projection direction can be changed and the sliced data
reprojected.

Abstract: A door lock device for a vehicle includes a casing
(26 1 ,26 2 ,26 3 ) fixed to a door (D F ,D R ) and having a bulged
portion (41) which defines an ingress passage (40) into
which a striker (39) on a vehicle body (20) enters; a
latch (27) turnably supported on the casing, so that it
is brought into engagement with the striker (39) for turning
movement; a ratchet (28) supported on the casing for
engagement and disengagement with and from the latch (27); an
open lever (30) turnably carried on the casing (26 1 ,26 2 ,26 3 ) so as to
be capable of receiving an operating force for releasing
a locking state in which the ratchet (28) is in engagement
with the latch (27); an internal operating-force inputting
means (PI 1 ,PI 2 ,PI F ,PI R ) to transmit to the open lever (30) a
door opening operation force depending on the door
opening operation within the vehicle; and a locked-state
switch-over means (LC 1 ,LC 2 ,LC F ,LC R ) which includes an open
link (31) connected at one end thereof to the open lever (30)
and which is capable of switching over an unlocked state
in which the ratchet (28) can be operated from the engaged
position to the disengaged position in response to the
turning movement of the open lever (30), and a locked state
in which the operation of the ratchet (28) from the engaged
position to the disengaged position is impossible, 
irrespective of the turning movement of the open lever (30).
In the door lock device, the open link (31) which extends
along a plane perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of
the ingress passage and which is capable of being
operated within such plane, is disposed sideways of the
bulged portion (41) on an opposite side from an inlet of the
ingress passage. Thus, the space occupied by the door
lock device in a direction to avoid the interference
with a glass sash (23) as well as in a direction of the
thickness of a door can be set as small as possible, and
the degree of freedom in setting of a door internal

Abstract: An electrophoresis container apparatus having (1) a primary container tray made from a UV light transmitting materials, (2) a UV light transmitting gel contained in the primary container tray, and (3) a removable top sheet for covering the gel. The removable top sheet may also be UV light transmitting. The apparatus optionally comes with a handle having pincers for grasping the primary container and permitting easy movement of the apparatus from location to location. Because the apparatus transmits UV light, the gel can be used and analyzed while it is still in the tray. This eliminates the need to remove the gel before analysis and reduces the chances that the gel will be damaged during handling. Similarly, because the apparatus has an optional handle, the user can move the apparatus form location to location without touching the apparatus and exposing the user to dangerous chemicals, e.g., those often used in staining procedures. <IMAGE>

Abstract: When there is an interference by frequency
selective noise, the gain of a particular carrier drops,
but the amplitude of the carrier is returned to its
usual value by equalization. At this time, however,
the C/N value of the carrier degrades, and therefore
its dispersion value increases. Accordingly,
concerning dispersion values along the frequency axis,
it is understood that the carrier with a high
dispersion value is interrupted by frequency selective
noise. In light of this, the dispersion value of each
carrier is calculated from a corresponding demodulation
output of a noise detecting section (9), thereby
determining, from the dispersion value, the carrier
interrupted by frequency selective noise, then
weighting the demodulated signal of the carrier, and
performing error correction such as erasure decoding by
an error correcting section (8). As a result, even
when there is an interference by frequency selective
noise, effective error correction can be performed to
thereby enhance the characteristics of a receiving
system.
