  • Publication number: 20060211357
    Abstract: A chimney cap that permits compact storage and quick installation is described. The chimney cap is at least partially hinged, which permits the cage to be quickly set up from a folded condition. This is accomplished by hingeably coupling the sides of the cage to the bottom of the cage. The sides are coupled together by inserting a pin into concentric knuckles formed when corresponding edges are joined together. The folded product may be stored for transport or sale in a substantially flat box.

  • Publication number: 20060197970
    Abstract: The toner in the toner cartridge is determined by taking each of the rasterized images output by the RIP and evaluating the pixel levels over the surface thereof. The average value is determined as a percentage of the maximum toner that can be applied to the page. This is then subtracted from a toner value and a remaining toner level determined. Further, all pages of the rasterized document can be evaluated to predetermine the toner level after printing. If this falls below a predetermined minimum, printing is inhibited for that document.

  • Publication number: 20060192984
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for color balancing page data, from a variety of input sources having non-consistent device color profiles, among a plurality of individually accessible print engines arranged in a system for color printing multiple copies of multiple page documents. Input page data is converted to a common color space, rasterized and routed to a selected print engine. Page data routed to each marking engine is color balanced to the selected marking engine where at least a portion of the color balancing occurs following the rasterizing of the page data.

  • Patent number: 7099027
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for distributing print jobs. A print job is generated at an application node of a network, and has associated therewith print parameters. The print job is routed to a distribution node on the network. The parameters are then parsed from the generated print job and the print job parameterized with predetermined metrics that are a function of at least one of the parsed parameters. The parameterized print job is then routed to a destination device on a destination node the network.

  • Publication number: 20060163060
    Abstract: A magnetron output arrangement includes a coaxial output adapted to be coupled in an endfire configuration to a rectangular waveguide. The waveguide has a flange for mating with the magnetron output arrangement. The coaxial output includes a central conductor. The output arrangement further includes a plate located in a predetermined position with respect to the central conductor. The plane of the plate is arranged to be substantially perpendicular to the axis of the coaxial output. The plate is located a predetermined distance from the end of the central conductor, such that the coaxial output in use couples with the plate so that the output coupling is substantially the same regardless of the type of waveguide flange employed.

  • Publication number: 20050229923
    Abstract: A chimney liner adaptor is provided to allow air to flow between the outside environment and an annular space in a lined chimney flue. The adaptor may allow an air cooling system to operate but prevents undesirable elements from entering the annular space. The liner adaptor may be disposed between the chimney cap and the top walls of the chimney system and around the chimney liner. The adaptor may include perforated material, such as an expanded metal mesh, a metal screen, stamped metal screen, rugged netting, or the like. The perforated material permits gas flow, provides structural support for other elements of the adaptor, and filters out undesirable objects from entering the chimney.

  • Patent number: 6874703
    Abstract: An anti-bounce needle valve for a fuel injector, wherein the needle inherently incorporates the anti-bounce feature. The needle has a conventionally configured exterior for interfacing with a valve seat and a tip body of a conventional fuel injector. The needle is characterized by a needle body having an interior cavity which is filled with small diameter shot, preferably generally spherical tungsten carbide shot. In operation, when the needle impacts upon the valve seat at the conclusion of a fuel injection process, the shot causes the needle collision with the valve seat to be inelastic, thereby eliminating needle bounce.

  • Publication number: 20050058626
    Abstract: A general method for vaccinating against any pathogen is presented. The method utilizes expression library immunization, where an animal is inoculated with an expression library constructed from fragmented genomic DNA of the pathogen. All potential epitopes of the pathogen's proteins are encoded in its DNA, and genetic immunization is used to directly introduce one or more expression library clones to the immune system, producing an immune response to the encoded protein. Inoculation of expression libraries representing portions of the Mycoplasma pulmonis genome was shown to protect mice from subsequent challenge by this natural pathogen. Protection against Listeria was also obtained using the method.

  • Publication number: 20050039606
    Abstract: Systems and methods for brewing beverages in accordance with the present invention can improve the flavor of brewed beverages and reduce the vertical space required for a system using suction. One such assembly comprises a brewing chamber adapted to hold a filter having an intake duct for receiving fluid for brewing, and an output duct for expelling a brewed beverage. The brewing chamber is positioned above a pressurizable container, or carafe, having an adjustable standpipe and containing the fluid. The carafe has a heated base, which when heated causes pressure to build up, forcing the fluid up the standpipe, through a check valve, through the intake duct and into the filter. Once substantially all of the fluid has been urged into the brew chamber, the heat is removed, creating a partial vacuum that pulls the brewed beverage back into the carafe. This description is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention.

  • Publication number: 20050041993
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for inserting tabs in a print job. A method for inserting tab sheets in a print job is disclosed. First, a position is selected within a document to insert a tab sheet, which document is comprised of a plurality of sheets each with a document defined image space associated therewith. A tab sheet is then created as a rasterized tab sheet image that has a rasterized tab specific image disposed in a predetermined location on the rasterized image. The created tab image is then inserted in the document after rasterizing thereof in the selected position.

  • Patent number: 6815897
    Abstract: A magnetron has an output comprising a coaxial line 15 which transmits energy from a wanted oscillator mode as a first coaxial waveguide mode and energy from an unwanted oscillator mode as a second cylindrical waveguide mode. Energy in the cylindrical waveguide mode is intercepted by slots 17, 18 in the coaxial line 15 and absorbed by material 10. This enables the modes to be separated. Preferably, the output is taken from the axis of the magnetron and the wanted oscillator mode is the &pgr; mode.
