Abstract: An inkjet printer (10) includes a print formatter circuit (30) which receives high-level
printing signals (32) from a host computer, such as a PC or mainframe computer.
The print formatter circuit (30) translates the high-level printing signals (32) into signals of
an intermediate-level interface language (34), which is communicated to a printhead
controller circuit (36). The printhead controller circuit (36) in turn translates the
intermediate-level interface language signals (34) into discreet-event commands (40), and
other finite action-element or condition-element signals or requirements, that are
communicated to the inkjet printer (10) and to a printhead (26) in the printer. The
discreet-events commands, finite action-element, and finite condition-element signals (40)
effect control of the movements of a carriage (24) of the printer, or print medium (18)
movable past the carriage (24), and the actions of an inkjet printing cartridge (26) carried
in the carriage (24) such that ink or other printing fluid is controllably ejected from the
printing cartridge (26) onto the print medium (18) to form images or characters.

Abstract: Method and device in the manipulation of product
stacks, so-called wicket stacks, composed of bag-like
and/or sheet-like products by means of wicketing. In
wicketing, products are during their manufacturing
process stacked in wicket stacks into a wicket pin/wicket
pins (21, 21') located in a wicket pin assembly (30; 40;
50; 60), which stacks are removed from the wicket
pin/pins (21, 21') manually or by means of a machine.
According to the invention the position of the wicket
pin/pins (21, 21') with respect to their base (32, 42, 52)
and/or the position of said base (32; 42; 52) with respect
to the conveying mechanism (7) transferring the wicket
pin assembly (30; 40; 50; 60) is changed from a first
position (A) used in the forming of the stack to a second
position (B) that substantially differs from said first
position. The second position (B) is advantageous for
the removal of the stack (33) from the wicket pin/pins
(21, 21') manually or by means of a machine, or for
another operation conducted for the stack.

Abstract: With a shared common memory, internal requests of a multimedia processor (70) is processed to generate a request (140) optimized in format. Each internal request is selected by the request controller according to a system priority. Each of external requests is independently subjected to an analyzing process for each format adapter (160), and is converted into a format compatible with a predetermined internal format of the multimedia processor. Thus, one or more external processors share a common memory to enable the external processors to access a bulk memory storage of a multimedia processor.

Abstract: The alkali medium to neutralize acidity in printed matter, and especially bound books, is carried in an air stream using a mixture of at least two powdered and dried organic salts. The anion portion of the salts has a relatively low acid constant. A salt with a relatively low affinity to water is the main constituent with at least one further salt with a relatively high water affinity. The salt with a relatively high affinity to water is potassium carbonate, and the low water affinity salt is potassium hydrogen carbonate. The potassium carbonate is used at a rate of 7-15 wt% or 0.1-5.0 wt% of the alkali medium. The medium has a mean particle size of 20-30 mu m or 28-35 mu m and a residual moisture content of ≤ 20 wt% or ≤ 15 wt%. The medium is augmented by an additive of potassium hydrogen phosphate or ammonium thiocyanate at a level of 1-5 wt% of the alkali medium, together with polystyrene spheres at a rate of 0.5-2.0 wt% in a diameter of 0.2-2.0 mm. An Independent claim is included for an apparatus with rests (1) to hold the opened-out books between two side walls. At least two parallel flat flow streams, offset from each other, are aligned parallel to the side walls and slide on a plane in relation to them, so that a series of flat and parallel flow streams travel evenly and wholly over the printed matter. Preferred Features: The apparatus has a sealed chamber (10) with a swing cover (11). It is fitted with the feed and extraction channels and auxiliary units. An air distributor (15) has parallel air outlets offset against each other. The air distributor (15) has a sideways movement on the horizontal plane, over the supports for the printed matter between the rests (1). The book rests are given a horizontal sliding movement with the base frame. A compressor (19a) recirculates the charged air flow in a main flow. A further compressor moves the charged air flow into a side flow through a filter, where the alkali medium is separated, and through a further filter and a drying chamber before it returns to the main flow. A feed for the powder medium delivers it through a mixer jet into a side flow. The apparatus is linked to a heated drying and heating assembly.

fixed facing one another and each of which comprises:
   a transmitter (TX1, TX2) and a receiver (RX1, RX2) of
radiation, operatively facing the receiver (RX2, RX1) and
the transmitter (TX2, TX1) of the other structure (2, 1),
respectively,   an electronic control unit (11, 21), and   an electrical supply battery (12, 22).        
     The control unit (11) of a first structure (1) is arranged

pulses which has a predetermined duration (T1) and which is
repeated cyclically after pauses also having a predetermined
duration (T2). 
     The control unit (21) of the other or second structure (2)
is arranged to implement an initial learning procedure in
which it can acquire the sequence of pulses and the duration
(T2) of the pause, and to bring about the retransmission of
the sequence by the transmitter (TX2) of the second
structure (2) to the receiver (RX1) of the first (1). 
     The control units (11, 21) are also arranged to implement a
subsequent normal operation procedure in which:
   after each receipt of the sequence (T1), the electronic
control unit (21) of the second structure (2) brings about
its retransmission to the receiver (RX1) of the first
structure (19) with a predetermined delay (T3), and    the control unit (11) of the first structure (1) continues
to repeat the transmission of the sequence (T1), alternating
with pauses having the predetermined duration (T2), for as
long as, in each pause (T2), the associated receiver (RX1)
receives the sequence retransmitted by the transmitter (TX2)
of the other structure (2), and the control unit (11)
generates an alarm signal as soon as a failed receipt of the
retransmitted signal occurs.

Title: X-ray diffraction apparatus
Inventor: OKANDA HITOSHI
IPC: G01N23/207
Filed: 2002-12-23
Abstract: X-ray diffraction apparatus is provided in which the focusing method and
the parallel beam method can be changed easily for each other. In the
measurement with the focusing method, an X-ray beam (46) from an X-ray source
(10) passes through an opening (52) of a path-selection slit device (18) and is
narrowed by a divergence slit (20) with a predetermined divergence angle and is
thereafter incident upon a sample (12). The changing operation from the focusing
method into the parallel beam method is carried out by turning, by 180 degrees, the
path-selection slit device (18) around its axis of rotation (54) and by moving the
divergence slit (20) in a direction (58) perpendicular to an X-ray traveling direction.
Then, the X-ray beam (48) from the X-ray source (10) is reflected by a multilayer
mirror (16) to become a parallel beam (60) and passes through the opening (52) of
the path-selection slit device (18) and is thereafter incident upon the sample (12).
Thus, the turning of the path-selection slit device (18) enables the change between
the focusing method and the parallel beam method, requiring no re-setting
operation for the optical system.
