摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for providing periodic status updates from a printer to a host system, and a printer capable of providing such status updates. A printer in accordance with the present invention includes means for generating printer status information and means for automatically sending the printer status information to the host system at periodic time intervals, without the need for a status request from the host system or a status change at the printer. The time interval and/or the status information may be configured via the host system.

The disclosed embodiments provide systems and methods for managing a loan application. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed that may include identifying one or more unfulfilled conditions associated with a loan application of a customer and sending, to a customer device, a request for a loan application document based on the identified one or more unfulfilled conditions. The method may also include receiving, from the customer device, a responsive loan application document. The method may also include identifying a document type for the responsive loan application document and confirming that the responsive loan application document is a valid document. Finally, the method may also include sending loan application status information to the customer device based on the confirmation.

A vertical reciprocating conveyor includes a frame and a carrier movable up and down with respect to the frame to elevate and lower articles supported by the carrier. The conveyor also includes a prime mover and at least one sprocket rotating in response to operation of the prime mover. At least one flexible support member extends across the carrier from one side to an opposite side, and engages the at least one sprocket such that the at least one flexible support member is collected and let out in response to the direction of rotation of the sprocket to raise and lower the carrier with respect to the frame. The conveyor also includes brakes on the opposite sides of the carrier. The brakes are biased to engage the frame to prevent the carrier from free falling. The brakes are held out of engagement with the frame by the at least one flexible support member, and are permitted to substantially simultaneously engage the frame on opposite sides of the carrier in response to slack forming in the flexible support member. The conveyor further includes a sensor for sensing slack in one of the flexible support members.

An optical fiber amplifier includes a length of silica optical fiber having a core doped with neodymium, a first cladding and a second cladding each with succeeding lower refractive indices, where the first cladding diameter is less than 10 times the diameter of the core. The doping concentration of the neodymium is chosen so that the small signal absorption for 816 nm light traveling within the core is less than 15 dB/m above the other fiber losses. The amplifier is optically pumped with one laser into the fiber core and with another laser into the first cladding.

An antimicrobial composition comprising a microemulsion for imparting antimicrobial characteristics to numerous products. The microemulsion can be aqueous or non-aqueous. A method of making the antimicrobial composition is also disclosed.
摘要:
A system for performing cell population classification in respect of a biological sample. An image is captured in respect of an optical conduit array containing a plurality of cells and signals received therefrom are used to derive a classification scheme defining classes of cells. This scheme is then applied to classify the cells and data representative of the classes and respective locations in the conduit array of the cells.

A method and apparatus is provided for producing near-diffraction-limited laser light, or amplifying near-diffraction-limited light, in diode pumped alkali vapor photonic-band-gap fiber lasers or amplifiers. Laser light is both substantially generated and propagated in an alkali gas instead of a solid, allowing the nonlinear and damage limitations of conventional solid core fibers to be circumvented. Alkali vapor is introduced into the center hole of a photonic-band-gap fiber, which can then be pumped with light from a pump laser and operated as an oscillator with a seed beam, or can be configured as an amplifier.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a sound rated floor system for inhibiting sound transmission between floors. The system includes a corrugated steel deck; a first layer of cementitious material or board or sheet applied over the corrugated steel deck; a sound insulation mat or board applied over the first layer; a second layer of cementitious material applied over the sound insulation mat or board. The floor system has an IIC rating of at least 25 and the corrugated steel deck provides at least 50 percent of the ultimate load carrying capacity under static and impact loading of the floor system with a floor deflection of at most 1/360 of the floor span.
摘要:
A configurable printer is provided which includes a first memory for storing multiple firmware application programs. Each of the firmware application programs enables respectively different printer functionalities. A switch mechanism, such as a DIP switch, is provided that has multiple settings for selecting a respective firmware application program from the multiple firmware application programs in the first memory. The printer also includes a second memory for storing a boot program. A processor is provided for executing the boot program upon startup of the printer. During execution, the boot program reads a current setting of the switch mechanism and executes a selected firmware application program corresponding to the current setting, thereby providing the desired printed functionality.
