Abstract: The present subject matter describes a heating unit. The heating unit comprises a heating element and a controlling unit coupled to the heating element to determine a desired value of a direct current (DC) voltage based on heating element parameters. The desired value is a value of DC voltage desired for operation of the heating element. The controlling unit computes a value of a duty cycle parameter based on device input parameters and the desired value of the DC voltage. The heating unit further comprises a power factor correction (PFC) unit coupled to the controlling unit and the heating element to convert an input alternating current (AC) voltage, received by the PFC unit from an AC supply, to a direct current (DC) voltage of the desired value based on the duty cycle parameter. The PFC unit provides the DC voltage to the heating element.

Abstract: An eyewear with a pair of light emitting diodes (LED) matrices is an apparatus that enhances the aesthetic appeal of the eyewear by illuminating different patterns and letterings with the pair of LED matrices. A left lens and a right lens each have an LED matrix, which traverse through and protrude out of their respective lens. Both LED matrices are electronically connected to a programmable microcontroller, which is able to turn on/off each individual LED in order to create the patterns and letterings on the LED matrices. The microphone and VU meter also allows the LED matrices to display patterns and lettering that relate to the music or sounds around the apparatus. Each individual LED for both LED matrices are properly spaced apart from each other so that visibility is not significantly reduced while wearing the apparatus.

Abstract: In some examples, a media stacker includes a drawer defining a chamber, and a plurality of moving elements to engage media sheets of different sizes as the media sheets are output from a system. The plurality of moving elements are to slide the media sheets to a target position in the drawer, and the plurality of moving elements are to disengage from the media sheets once the media sheets have reached the target position. A plurality of retaining elements are to engage the media sheets of the different sizes as the media sheets slide into the drawer.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention comprises a plug-in for an office software product. The plug-in can allow for the creation of a Business Process Management (BPM) instance that can be related to an open document in the office software product. The Business Process Management instance can be launched at a business process management server running business process management software. The business process management software can be separate from the office software product.

Abstract: A set of decision activities can be provided to a business process management and design software tool. The tool can be used to define various processes that contain one or more activities linked by transitions. During process design time, a business analyst can identify process-relevant data of the process to be presented to the end users. The relevant data can be rendered to the end users at runtime, along with a set of possible options for the activities in a process instance. Upon receiving a decision of the user, the process instance can follow the selected transition to a different activity. Over time, the system can capture the decisions taken by users and enter the data associated with these decisions into a data classifier. In doing so, the software tool can generate suggestions, provide probabilities, automate and distribute workloads, flag abnormalities and deviations and generally improve process design and management.

Abstract: A sheet scanner comprises a sheet inlet on a front side, a scanned sheet outlet on a rear side, and a deflector to direct scanned sheets from the outlet towards the front side of the scanner, over the top cover thereof, and further comprises a stopper on the top cover, at the front side of the scanner and above the sheet inlet, to temporarily restrain the leading edge of a scanned sheet such that the sheet advances and folds over itself and beyond the stopper, the leading edge being released from the stopper when the sheet folded over itself and beyond the stopper pulls it downwards.

Abstract: A system having a low power operation mode and a normal operation mode, the system including a power supply unit for supplying at least a first voltage and a second voltage; a first circuit which operates during the normal operation mode but does not operate during the low power operation mode; a second circuit which operates during the low power operation mode; and a switching unit for selectively supplying the first circuit with the first voltage or the second voltage from the power supply unit; wherein the power supply unit supplies a power status signal and the switching unit is controlled based on the power status signal.

Abstract: A system and method of creating and managing one or more business objects is provided. The method can include receiving a request to create a business object and presenting a first user interface that is used to create a business object. The user interface can include one or more fields that define attributes and methods in the business object. The method can further include presenting a second user interface that is used to add documentation information for the business object, and storing the business object. The attributes and methods of the business object can be stored in separate files.

Abstract: According to one example, there is provided a controller readable medium on which are stored controller readable instructions. The instructions are such that, when executed by a controller, perform the steps of commencing the printing of a print job on a media sheet, determining when about half of the media sheet ejected out of a printer media output is at the level of a stacker unit, activating a first array of fans to retain a portion of the ejected media sheet, completing the print job, and activating a second array of fans to blow the trailing edge of the ejected media sheet over the stacker unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting the vibrations of a roll stand (1) equipped with a hydraulic jack (6) as a device for adjusting the rolling rolls (4, 5). The hydraulic jack comprises a sensor (64) for measuring the position of the mobile portion relative to the fixed portion, this sensor supplying a digital signal (POS). In the method of the invention, the vibrations are detected by direct observation of the position signal (POS) and a comparison thereof relative to a spatio-temporal window (F) whose dimensions are determined as a function of the frequency to be detected. In accordance with the invention, it is possible to define different observation windows (F) suitable for the detection of different vibratory phenomena.
