Abstract: Examples techniques to control execution of print commands are described. In an example, a print command indicative of markings to be on a medium is received at an image rendering device. A number of ink droplets to be ejected from nozzles of the image rendering device to form the markings on the medium is determined. A thickness that the medium will have upon the markings being formed is determined based on the number of ink droplets to be ejected from the nozzles. The print command is executed based on the estimated thickness.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for removing a Direct Current (DC) offset at a receiving terminal in a wireless communication system are provided. In the method, a frame is divided into at least two time resource blocks. Resource allocation information is used to discriminate between at least one time resource block of a data-unmapped interval and at least one time resource block of a data-mapped interval. The DC offset is measured during the data-unmapped interval. The DC offset is compensated during the data-unmapped interval on a time resource block basis by using the measured DC offset.

Abstract: Copper ion treatments and methods of treatment are provided to treat various body conditions affecting the oral, respiratory and/or otic areas of the body. The copper ion treatments contain copper ions which bring about local and systemic therapeutic effects as a result of contacting anatomical tissue of the oral cavity, the nasal passages or ear canal. The copper ion treatments and methods involve copper ion-containing solutions, copper ion toothpaste and copper ion mouthwash. The copper ion-containing solutions can be delivered to the oral cavity by spraying or swabbing, can be delivered to the nostrils as spray, drops, or by swabbing, and can be delivered to the ear canal as spray, drops, or by swabbing. The copper ion toothpaste is used for brushing the teeth, and the copper ion mouthwash is used for rinsing the mouth.

Abstract: A topical copper ion treatment in basic form comprises a copper ion-containing solution composed of a biocompatible solution containing copper ions obtained by leaching of the copper ions from copper metal into the solution. The copper ion-containing solution can be combined with various carriers to form various forms of the copper ion treatment including creams, gels, lotions, foams, pastes, tampons, solutions, suppositories, body wipes, wound dressings, skin patches, and suture material. A method of making the copper ion-containing solution involves placing solid copper metal in a quantity of a biocompatible solution and maintaining the solution at a specified temperature for a predetermined period of time during which copper ions leach from the copper metal into the solution, and thereafter separating the solution from the solid copper metal.
