  • Patent number: 8023472
    Abstract: A method for identifying a cell that provides a differentiated service in a mobile communication system. The method comprises searching for a plurality of pilots having strength greater than a minimum pilot strength; comparing strengths of the pilots, and designating a pilot having the greatest strength as an active pilot; determining whether a corresponding cell of the active pilot transmits a cell classifier for the differentiated service along with an overhead message; if the corresponding cell transmits a cell classifier, determining whether the cell classifier matches a cell classifiers stored in an access terminal; and if the cell classifier matches with a cell classifier stored in the access terminal, performing an operation under the control of the corresponding cell.

  • Patent number: 8015857
    Abstract: A device that carries out a method for measuring permeability to a gas sample through a container (2) comprises an inlet duct for the gaseous carrier, in particular, nitrogen, both as inlet in the container (2) and as inlet in the chamber (1) and out of the container (2) of which permeability has to be measured. The inlet duct that exits in the container (2) comprises two ducts (11 and 8), whereas the inlet duct that exits out of the container (2) comprises two ducts (6 and 7). Such inlet ducts have an origin in common in order to allow the distribution between them of the flow (200) of gas carrier as input. An inlet duct is provided (10) for a test gas flow, such as oxygen, which ends in the duct (7) to be measured, with the gas carrier in the chamber (1). A gas-mass regulator is provided for each inlet duct (5, 4 and 3).

  • Patent number: 7985438
    Abstract: This invention refers to a method for producing integrally flavored non-fried snacks, as well as the preparation thereof, in which upon internally flavoring the pellet, flavors prevail, since a cold-extrusion process similar to that used for producing pastas is used, wherein the temperature does not exceed 100° C., thereby flavors degrades not. In order to produce the snacks according to this, it is required to use pre-gelatinized flours. The flavored pellet undergoes a baking process at a high temperature during a short period of time. An internally flavored snack is produced, to which it is possible to add functional ingredients which would degrade using a normal extrusion process.

  • Patent number: 7973956
    Abstract: A high speed printing method and apparatus are provided, in which provided print data is rendered and a rendered result in response to a print request of the print data is transmitted, and an image of the rendered result is formed, wherein the rendering of the provided print data is performed by a host, and the forming of the image of the rendered result is performed by an image forming device connected to the host. Accordingly, a host performs pre-rendering before a print request is input, and when the print request is input, an image forming device receives the rendered result from the host and prints the rendered result. Thus, the image forming device can perform a printing job at a high speed regardless of the amount of print data.

  • Patent number: 7971869
    Abstract: A printing media supply device for use in an image forming apparatus includes a printing media supply cassette adapted to receive a stack of printing media. A pick-up roller picks up the printing media stacked in the printing media supply cassette. The pick-up roller has a pick-up member for picking up the printing media, and a rotation member for supporting the pick-up member. The rotation member has a buffer surface formed by cutting a portion of a leading edge portion thereof away. The buffer surface may be formed so as to expose side surfaces of the pick-up member. The pick-up roller applies a substantially uniform pressure to the printing media even when there is a large quantity of printing media stacked in the printing media supply cassette, and thereby minimizes multifeeding of the printing media. Accordingly, the supply of printing media is stable, improving the printing media supply efficiency.
