Abstract: A skin-effect heater cable has inorganic ceramic insulation. The heater cable has at lease one core conductor wire within a sheath. Electricity is directed through the core conductor in an outward path and returns along a surface “skin” of the sheath in a return path for generating heat.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system are directed toward managing cluster membership through a discovery process that enables selection of a master for the cluster. If a node on a network is the first to initiate the discovery process, it assumes the master role. Where two or more nodes enter the discovery process at the same time, or where a cluster is disjointed, views of the potential members to the cluster are shared among the nodes. Each node coalesces and sorts the views. The master may then be determined from the sorted views. In one embodiment, the master is that node in the results having a highest unique identifier. The identified master sends an assertion of its role to the other nodes. If no assertion is received, or multiple assertions are received, updated views are again shared and sorted. In one embodiment, the nodes may be within a peer-to-peer network.

Abstract: Methods for fabricating a printhead are described. In one embodiment, a method includes forming on a substrate using a single fabrication technique multiple resistors, some of the resistors to be used as heater resistors configured to eject fluid and some of the resistors to be used as storage resistors that store data, annealing the heater resistors, and intentionally not annealing at least one of the storage resistors, wherein the annealed storage resistors have a first state representing a first digital value and the unannealed storage resistors have a second state representing a second digital value, such that the values associated with the storage resistors can be read by an appropriate detection circuit.

Abstract: A scaleable abstraction control solution including an abstraction process and an abstraction system. The abstraction solution permits extraction, tracking, and management of data defined in one or more documents. The abstraction process can include double blind data abstraction. The abstracted data can be verified using a quality assurance process that can include statistical sampling, tracked random error insertion, and abstraction auditing. Data from documents can be abstracted into one or more customizable databases, forms, templates, or software.

Abstract: A fluid ejection device having storage and methods of forming and using such fluid ejection devices are described. In one embodiment, a substrate comprises multiple heater resistors supported thereby, and configured for ejecting fluid onto a medium. One storage structure is supported by the substrate and configured to store data.

Abstract: An MRI system and method for acquiring motion-compensated MR image data of an object. The MRI system includes an MRI device for generating a uniform magnetic field through the object, magnetic field gradients for imaging a portion of the object and an RF excitation field for evoking NMR response signals from the object; a computer for controlling the operation of the MRI system; a motion compensation module for generating a plurality of navigator waveforms for evoking a corresponding plurality of navigator echoes from the portion of the object while the object is being imaged, and processing the plurality of navigator echoes by determining a subset of similar navigator echoes and removing rigid-body translation from the NMR response signals associated with the subset of similar navigator echoes; and, interface circuitry for generating the magnetic gradient, RF and navigator waveforms and sampling the NMR response signals and the plurality of navigator echoes.

Abstract: A high-resolution printer includes a printhead having optimized features including 3 to 20 micron diameter orifices spaced apart from adjacent orifices by a distance of between about 15 and 75 microns. The orifice plate is electroformed and plated to a thickness ranging from about 6 to 19 microns. A barrier layer secures the orifice plate to a printhead substrate.

Abstract: Control surface assemblies having a torque tube base are disclosed. In one embodiment, a control surface assembly includes a control surface portion and a base portion. The base portion has a hollow, shell-like base portion coupled to a first end portion of the control surface portion, and is adapted to be coupled to a supporting structure such that the control surface portion projects outwardly from the supporting structure. In one aspect, the base portion includes an elongated, closed section portion adapted to be coupled to the supporting structure. In a further aspect, the base portion includes an elongated, closed section portion adapted to be coupled to the supporting structure, and a pair of tapered end portions formed at opposing ends of the closed section portion.

Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a computer-implemented method for localizing a markup language document includes: identifying at least one token within a document and identifying a localizable string within the token. Creating a first file including a translation of the localizable string and a second file including the non-localizable data from the document. The first file and second file are then merged.
