Abstract: The disclosure provides systems and methods for data analysis of experimental data. The analysis can include reference data that are not directly generated from the present experiment, which reference data may be values of the experimental parameters that were either provided by a user, computed by the system with input from a user, or computed by the system without using any input from a user. Another example of such reference data may be information about the instrument, such as the calibration method of the instrument.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating an electronic reprographic system providing for the storing of information in the system of the status of all jobs in the system, monitoring the system for faults, providing for crash recovery wherein communication between processing units of the system enables the system to recommence printing at the point at which a crash occurred, and allowing the system to tie a fault discovered in the system with a job containing a faulted feature so that the printing jobs may be completed sequentially up to a job requiring a faulted feature. Additionally, the system is capable of permitting a higher priority job to interrupt a currently printed job in order to be printed non-sequentially.

Abstract: A high speed electronic printing system for processing ordered stock such as tabbed sheets is determined for use in maintaining the prints produced in correct sequence with the tabbed stock.

Abstract: A high speed electronic printing system in which the number of paper trays for supplying print media is substantially less than the number of different print media selections that can be programmed for each print job, with a system for identifying missing print media while printing together with an available paper tray into which the print media can be loaded to allow uninterrupted processing of print jobs.

Abstract: A wind power device incorporating a curved duct through which a rotatable shaft passes in a direction such that the axis of the shaft is normal to the plane containing one end of the curved duct and which continues through the curving portion of the wall of the duct opposite said end of the duct to the outside of the duct where it is connectible to a power-consuming device. A set of radially extending helically curved aerofoil blades is attached to the shaft at said end of the duct. Support means mounted on the blades at the tips thereof rest on a fixed annular guide means surrounding said end of the duct. Mounting means supports the duct in a position in which the shaft is vertical.
