  • Method and apparatus of utilizing stored job information in an electronic reprographic printing system
    Patent number: 5245368
    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.

  • Devices for utilizing the power of the wind
    Patent number: 4154556
    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.
