Abstract: A toner container installable in an image forming device having a controller according to one example embodiment includes a housing having a reservoir for storing toner. A chip is positioned on the housing and configured to receive a first write command from the controller of the image forming device. The chip is further configured to determine whether a transmission cycle bit of the first write command matches a transmission cycle bit of a second write command received by the chip from the controller of the image forming device previous to the first write command. The chip is further configured to resend to the controller of the image forming device a response to the second write command if the transmission cycle bit of the first write command matches the transmission cycle bit of the second write command.

Abstract: A test instrument may include a transmitter configured to transmit signals to a unit under test, a receiver configured to receive signals from the unit under test, and a controller configured to generate a transmitter compensation filter by (i) transmitting, with the transmitter, complex multi-sine signals over a first plurality of observed frequencies within a predetermined baseband frequency range, (ii) estimating a first plurality of frequency responses that compensate for in-phase and quadrature (IQ) imbalance at the first plurality of observed frequencies within the predetermined baseband frequency range, and (iii) determining, using the first plurality of frequency responses, a transmitter polynomial surface, and to compensate, using the transmitter compensation filter, at least one of the signals to be transmitted by the transmitter to reduce IQ imbalance in the transmitted signals, including using the transmitter polynomial surface to calculate a frequency response that reduces the IQ imbalance in the

Abstract: This invention includes a framework and method to enable the transformation of video content into a format that allows for mapping and, hence, identification of individual sections (scene segments or otherwise) of the media content. It includes a means of ingesting images and video frames into a database. Consumer products can be matched with the images and/or objects in the images. A consumer can access the content by submitting a digital image taken on a mobile device. One or more objects in the user submitted image can be matched with products and/or commercial/promotional materials.

Abstract: An example component circuitry for a supply item including an example method for restricting read access to content in the component circuitry are disclosed. In the method, a command for reading data stored in a non-volatile portion of a memory of the supply item is received and depending upon whether the number of times that the command has been received exceeds a predetermined limit, processing the command. The component circuitry has a non-volatile memory and a processor, whereupon the encrypted data may be read from the non-volatile memory if the number of times that the command is received by the processor has not reached a predetermined limit.

Abstract: A nail lamp is configured to cure light-curable nail product on a user's nails. The lamp includes an array of discrete light sources with different light wavelength profiles. The different wavelength profiles are configured to, in combination, cure a light-curable nail product. A space is disposed beneath the array and is sized to accommodate therein the nails of an appendage of a user so as to expose the user's nails to light from the array. The space is substantially open to the ambient environment to the front, rear, left, right, and top of the space, thereby providing an open architecture.

Abstract: A toner container installable in an image forming device having a controller according to one example embodiment includes a housing having a reservoir for storing toner. A chip is positioned on the housing and configured to, after sending a first busy response to the controller of the image forming device, receive a second write command from the controller of the image forming device that is abbreviated relative to a first write command received from the controller of the image forming device and that requests the chip to send a response to the first write command. The chip is further configured to send a response to the first write command to the controller of the image forming device if upon receiving a read command corresponding to the second write command the chip has completed processing the first write command.

Abstract: A system for heating a medical fluid has at least one first fluid container for storing the fluid, a fluid injector having at least one second fluid container for receiving the fluid from the at least one first fluid container through a fluid path set, at least one heating element positioned in-line with the fluid path set between the at least one first fluid container and the at least one second fluid container of the fluid injector for heating the fluid to a pre-determined temperature as the fluid flows through at least one fluid path element, and a controller for controlling an output of the at least one heating element based on at least one of a property of the at least one heating element and a property of the fluid flowing through the at least one fluid path element.

Abstract: A nail lamp is configured to cure light-curable nail product on a user's nail. The lamp includes a base and a support with discrete light sources that each may emit with the same or different light wavelength profiles, and each may emit continuously or with the same or different pulsing functions. The lamp also includes source reflectors and a ring reflector. The different wavelength profiles are configured to, in combination, cure a light-curable nail product. The pulsing function is used to cure the nail product more efficiently. The source reflectors and ring reflector are used to target specific areas of the nail. A space is disposed between the base and the support and is sized to accommodate therein the nails of an appendage of a user so as to expose the user's nails to light from the discrete light sources.

Abstract: A cluster of computer system nodes connected by a storage area network include two classes of nodes. The first class of nodes can act as clients or servers, while the other nodes can only be clients. The client-only nodes require much less functionality and can be more easily supported by different operating systems. To minimize the amount of data transmitted during normal operation, the server responsible for maintaining a cluster configuration database repeatedly multicasts the IP address, its incarnation number and the most recent database generation number. Each node stores this information and when a change is detected, each node can request an update of the data needed by that node. A client-only node uses the IP address of the server to connect to the server, to download the information from the cluster database required by the client-only node and to upload local disk connectivity information.
