Abstract: A method of printing comprising providing a document in page description language (PDL document), converting the PDL document to display objects utilizing a predetermined amount of allocated memory, monitoring the amount of allocated memory and making adjustments in response to the monitored amount of allocated memory.

Abstract: A method of printing comprising providing a document having multiple pages in structured PDL document format; converting the structured PDL document to an unstructured PDL document format; calculating from total number of page information provided by the structured PDL document a marker page of the document; rasterizing the unstructured PDL document; and printing the unstructured PDL document, wherein the marker page identifies at least one page to be printed with special circumstances.

Abstract: A method of printing comprising providing a document in page description language, rasterizing the PDL document utilizing a processor, monitoring the processor during the rasterizing step for proper operation of the processor, and notifying a print operator if the processor is not operating according to a predetermined condition.

Abstract: The present invention provides a valve system comprising a valve body having at least a first port and a second port; a valve member located within said valve body and operably movable between a first position at which said first port is sealed and a second position in which said first port is fully open; and an operating mechanism for moving the valve member between the first and second positions. The operating mechanism is adapted to be mounted adjacent the valve body and includes a transmission member operatively connected with the valve member, and a rotary actuator operable to effect movement of the transmission member. The operating mechanism is such that rotary movement of the actuator member effects independent linear and rotational movements of the transmission member causing corresponding linear and rotational movements of the valve member moving it from the first position to the second position.

Abstract: An individual transfers money from a cash card (or the account that the cash card is tied to) by making a wireless phone call to another individual. A combination of a MONDEX style card with the individual phone cards are used for this purpose. This electronic cash (“ecash”) ecash/phone card is inserted into the phone to activate it for billing use and serves as the basis for a cash transaction. For example, person A makes a telephone call to person B and dials a suffix after the number to indicate the transaction and the amount. For example, one could transfer money to another card or account holder from one's card by dialing their number followed by CASH#200# to transfer 200 dollars to the other account. The card is then capable of being used as a cash card to make purchases or as a phone card to make calls. A database links the identity of the caller to the cash account and the transaction appears as part of a bank statement or as part of a wireless phone bill.

Abstract: An apparatus for insertion into a relatively long tube or conduit in order to inspect or perform operations on the interior thereof. The apparatus includes a device for performing an operation on the tube as well as a plurality of traction units secured at spaced locations along a connecting lead. The traction units include a gear train and one or more driving means.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a device adapted to be inserted within a heat exchanger header of restricted transverse dimensions, for locating tools in operative relationship to each of the apertures in the heat exchanger's tube plate, said device having gripping means to fixedly mount the device within the heat exchanger, means rotatably mounting a portion of the device, a first carriage moveably mounted on said rotatable portion in a direction along the axis of the device, a second carriage mounted on said first carriage and transversely moveable thereto and means on said second carriage for mounting the tools on said second carriage.
