Abstract: The present invention relates to a milling device comprising a
roll mill (19) having a plurality of rolls (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) for
milling a mass (22), imaging means (25, 32) for imaging a
surface on at least one of said rolls (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and for
generating a corresponding surface image (26), and image
processing means (27) for processing said surface image (26).
The employment of an imaging means in connection with a roll
mill provides a very flexible and efficient milling system, as
the generated image can be processed to fulfill a number of
tasks, for example for generating a control signal used to set
the operational parameters of the roll mill, for generating a
warning signal relating to the deterioration of parts of the
roll mill, or for generating an analysis of the state of one
of the rolls of the roll mill. 
     In the first case, this advantageously enables a fully
automated and highly efficient adjustment of operational
parameters of the roll mill without intervention of an
operator, in the second case this enables an early recognition
of wear on given parts, and in the third case this enables the
checking of the roll condition without having to dismount the
roll from the roll mill. 
     The present invention advantageously allows the performing of
a throughput measurement and allows precise particle size
control in the milled material.

Abstract: A feed apparatus in which varying air pressures in combination with
tray angling and height adjustment reduces the variability in key feeder
performance characteristics such as "sheet acquisition times" and "sheet
separation". The setting of positive and negative air pressures in the paper
feeder based on specific paper/media characteristics sheet basis weight, size,
coating configuration, curl direction and magnitude.is performed. As a result of
this reduced variability, the feeder's performance (as measured by misfeeds,
late feeds and multifeeds) is inherently better than designs not incorporating
this concept. This concept also reduces the need for operator interventions
(flipping, rotating and/or replacing paper) for feeder performance problems that
are the direct result of differing paper properties (sizes ,weights & coatings) and
normal variations in sheet curl from ream to ream, or from paper to paper.

Abstract: In a mobile satellite telecommunications system, diverse telecommunications paths
are established between a user terminal UT 1 and a satellite access node SAN 1 via
two earth orbiting satellites 3a, 3b. Link control is performed in order to
compensate for Doppler shift and timing variations which occur due to orbital
movement of the satellites. Data concerning the differential timing errors for
TDMA bursts transmitted over the two paths from SAN 1 to UT 1 are determined
at UT1 together with the differential Doppler shift between signals received over
the two paths. The differential timing information and the differential Doppler
shift information is encoded in to a slow access control channel associated with the
traffic channel which passes back from UT1 to SAN 1. This data is used at SAN 1
in order to produce control parameter data which is transmitted back to the UT in
order to control the offsets used by the UT to correct timing errors and Doppler
shifts. The signal formats are usable in full, partial and switched diversity modes in
which both or only one of the up and downlink paths are used.

Abstract: Conventional disc units each involve the problem that a
new disc must be inserted into the disc unit after a disc already
present in the disc unit is ejected and that therefore it takes
time for disc replacement. In the disc unit of the present
invention, to solve the above-mentioned problem, a new second
disc which has been inserted into the disc unit through an
insertion opening is carried from an insertion area to a disc
driving section by a conveying means. On the other hand, a first
disc already present in the disc unit prior to insertion of the
second disc is ejected from an ejection area to the exterior
of the disc unit by both first and second ejection members. The
time required for disc replacement can be shortened by
performing the disc inserting operation by the conveying means
and the disc ejecting operation by the first and second ejection
members both in a simultaneous manner.

Abstract: An embodiment includes an optical source, an optical receiver, and an
interconnecting optical fiber. A data sequence is received and encoded or formatted as
an IP packet using an encoding format capable of returning a signal representing the IP
packet to a predetermined value at the beginning of each bit period of the IP packet at
a physical layer of the network. The encoded IP packet is then transmitted directly over
an optical layer of the network without adapting the IP packet to another encoding format
or using an adaptation layer in the network (e.g., at a data link layer or higher). The
optical receiver receives the IP packet and then a clock signal is extracted without the
overhead and costs associated with additional adaptation or encoding of the IP packet.
When the optical source is in an idle state, a mark-hold state (more generally called a
filler signal) is formatted with the same encoding format and transmitted to the optical
receiver directly over the optical layer in order to maintain a synchronous clock during the
idle state.
