Abstract: An interface device is configured for printing from a host having a communications port to an imaging apparatus having a PictBridge port for receiving print data from a camera. The host includes an operating system having a spool subsystem. The interface device includes an input port configured to communicatively connect to the communications port; an output port configured to communicatively connect to the PictBridge port; and a controller interconnecting the input port and the output port. The controller is configured to execute program instructions to print from the host via the communications port to the imaging apparatus via the PictBridge port in real time using an output of the spool subsystem.

Abstract: A flow indicator for measuring fluid flow through a pressure cooking vessel bleeder. The indicator comprises an elongated housing having a fluid passage formed therethrough which is vertically secured to the bleeder so that a fluid flow connection exists between the bleeder and a fluid inlet opening into said passage. An indicator ball is disposed within the passage and is suspended in the fluid flow emitting from the bleeder. A means for determining the vertical position of the ball within the passage is also provided which, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, comprises a measuring device such as a photoelectric cell circuit.
