Abstract: A water treatment device having a tank containing an anode and a cathode. A motor is provided to impart rotational motion to the cathode. A scraping means is fixed to the interior of the tank and extend inward toward the tank so as to define a gap between the scraping means and the cathode. As mineral deposits accumulate on the cathode they are removed by the scraping means and the rotational motion of the cathode.

Abstract: This is a system for changing a color in a xerographic marking system from an old color to a new color within the same color family. The prior art systems for changing color required that the entire color housing or hardware be replaced; this was very costly since these housings are very expensive. The present system involves removing the old color, selecting a new color in the same family of color, purging this old color from the color housing until a low concentration of old color remains, then installing a new color container and running the color system with the new color until the desired color is obtained. The new color is continuously measured by a spectrophotometer until the spectrophotometer indicates that the desired new color is produced.

Abstract: A process for creating custom colors including: creating a plurality of neutral gray scale primary components of varying darkness levels; selecting one or more non-gray scale primary components; and combining one or more of the plurality of neutral gray scale primary components with the one or more non-gray scale primary components; the plurality of neutral gray scale primary components are compatible with dry blending techniques of the one or more non-gray scale primary components in order to shift a hue of a designated target primary.

Abstract: A method and a system for analyzing a data value of interest in a multidimensional database. The data value of interest is first identified in a structured report. The data source for the structured report is retrieved. A context for the data value of interest in the data source is collected, for example, by extracting a slicer from the structured report, by extracting members of master-detail pages, or by extracting a default measure from the structured report. An analysis specification based on the collected context is then built, and the data value of interest is analyzed using the analysis specification. The result from analyzing the data value of interest may be presented in an analysis view.

Abstract: A segmentation management system manages segmentation of a set of members in a multi-dimensionally modeled data source. The segmentation management system comprises a segment definition manager, a segmentation engine and a segment application manager. The segment definition manager manages definitions of identifiable non-overlapping segments for a given base set of members in a multi-dimensionally modeled data source. The segmentation engine divides the base set of members into the segments based on the definitions of the segments. The segment application manager allows the segments to be used as objects.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of color toners whereby the triboelectric charging of the various colors is optimized to permit blending of the colors to form custom colors.

Abstract: Method and system for determining a driving factor for a data value of interest in a multidimensional database, by collecting a context for the data value of interest in the multidimensional database. The data value of interest has dimensional levels with dimensional members outside the drill path of the data value of interest. The dimensional levels are enumerated in a list. A query using the dimensional members of the dimensional level is executed. A variance is calculated for the set of query results. A driving factor for the data value of interest is determined based on the variance. The driving factor is added to the context of the data value of interest.

Abstract: Method and system for removing sparse data in a response to a query to a multidimensional database by establishing a cross-tab with sparse data. After selecting a member in an axis of the cross-tab for sparsity removal, a first set expression on the orthogonal axis is selected in the context of the member. The context of the orthogonal axis is collected for generating a filter set expression with a data removal criteria, based on the collected context; and the query is submitted to the database with the filter set expression.

Abstract: A method of supplying toner to a printing device includes providing a universal developer for at least two colors. A developer system includes a universal developer unit and a developing station that develops an image using the toner and the universal developer. The universal developer may be provided to each of the colors. An auger for a color mixes the toner and the universal developer supplied therein. The amount of the toner supplied may be determined based on a concentration of the toner and the universal developer in a developer housing. The universal developer may be provided in a form of cartridge, which may be installed to a selected one of the colors.

Abstract: The present invention provides, an antenna test device to test antenna efficiency. The test device includes a cavity formed by at least one conductive sidewall. The cavity contains at least one tuning probe, at least one movable portion, or a combination thereof. The tuning probes and/or movable portion help inhibit the antenna under test from having faulty measurements due to anti resonance or coupling.

In particular, the present invention provides a tunable cavity that can be tuned to avoid the anti resonance and antenna-cavity coupling problems. In particular, tuning probes and/or variable volumetric sizing of the cavity are used to tune the cavity to avoid the anti resonance and antenna-cavity coupling.

Abstract: Treatment of malignant tumors or other lesions by localized transfer of radio frequency electromagnetic energy into a portion of the body may be achieved by means of spatially localized magnetic resonance (MR). A magnetic field with appropriate spatial distribution and radio frequency tuned to the resonant frequency unique to the tumor treatment volume will cause selective therapeutic energy deposition or heating within the tumor (hyperthermia). The desired magnetic field distribution for the MR treatment volume may be achieved by means of a main static magnetic field with a superimposed magnetic field to define the treatment volume size and shape, positioned by a gradient magnetic field. Treatment may be enhanced by MR contrast agents and pharmacologic agents. In a preferred embodiment, the invention is incorporated in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner modified by the addition of a localizing magnet.
