  • Patent number: 7280780
    Abstract: A printer or copier system with at least one of a pre-processing unit and a post-processing unit, comprises a printing unit that generates a print image on a carrier material. An operating unit is connected via a data line with the printing unit. The operating unit outputs at least one graphical user interface on a display for operation of the printing unit. At least one processing unit is connected with at least one of the printing unit and the operating unit for processing of the carrier material such that data are transferable between the processing unit and at least one of the printing unit and the operating unit. In the processing unit, data are stored that are transferred to at least one of the printing unit and the operating unit with which the graphical user interface is activated at least for operation of the processing unit.

  • Publication number: 20060193463
    Abstract: In an arrangement and method for replacement of program data stored in a first control unit, the first control unit is connected with at least one second control unit via a data connection. The arrangement also has a first operating system stored in a first storage region of the first control unit. The first control unit executes program steps of a first program element upon execution of the operating system, whereby the first control unit provides at least one operating or control function. The second control unit has at least one storage region in which is stored at least one copy of the first operating system. The first control unit executes a second operating system, whereby upon execution of the second operating system the first control unit executes at least one second program element that reads out the copy of the first operating system that is stored in the storage region of the second control unit and replaces the first operating system stored in the storage region of the first control unit.

  • Patent number: 6527144
    Abstract: The invention relates to a discharge apparatus for media. Corresponding media discharge apparatuses are e.g. generally known in the form of pump atomizers. The problem of the invention is to create a greater freedom of design for the actuation of such discharge apparatuses. This problem is solved in that the actuation direction of the actuating element of the discharge apparatus differs from the stroke direction of the pump element of the discharge apparatus.

  • Patent number: 6407945
    Abstract: A method for reading non-volatile semiconductor memory configurations includes determining a high threshold voltage and a low threshold voltage based on a charge state of a floating gate for a transistor, and applying a reverse bias between a bulk and a source of the transistor during reading.

  • Patent number: 6159796
    Abstract: In a non-volatile memory cell having a floating gate (EEPROM), it is necessary to achieve a large coupling capacitance between the floating gate and a control gate in which the gates take up as little space as possible. To that end, it is provided that a dielectric between the floating gate and the control gate runs, in portions, approximately perpendicularly to the surface of a semiconductor substrate, for example, with the control gate configured within a U-shaped or pot-shaped floating gate.

  • Patent number: 5988449
    Abstract: A dispenser (1) including a reservoir (4), a pump (6) and an atomizing nozzle (17) has on the nozzle (17) a germ barrier (22) in the form of a valve that opens and closes dependent on pressure. A further germ barrier (23) with a filter (54) acting as a seal in the connecting area between reservoir (4) and pump (6) is provided in a venting channel (21). Both units (2, 3) of the device (1), which are actuated against each other, are prevented from being pulled apart by a snap device (50). Germ penetration into the entire dispenser (1) can be effectively prevented.
