  • Publication number: 20010043362
    Abstract: An automatic archiving system that makes document archiving largely transparent to the user. In one embodiment, documents scanned in or printed during the course of office equipment operation are automatically archived. For example, an office local area network (LAN) may interconnect a copier, a printer, a fax machine, and a document management workstation. Whenever, a document is copied, printed, or faxed, a document image is archived by the document management workstation without further user intervention. A single user command results in the document being copied and archived, printed and archived, or faxed and archived.

  • Publication number: 20010020954
    Abstract: Techniques for capturing information during multimedia presentations. According to an embodiment, the presentation recording appliance (PRA) receives multimedia presentation information comprising video information and/or audio information. The PRA may also receive information from external sources other than the first source. The audio and video information received by the PRA is then processed and stored in a format which facilitates subsequent retrieval.

  • Patent number: 5499872
    Abstract: A turntable mixer, for mixing a sample container, comprising a rotation mechanism, a cycle timer, and a speed controller. The rotation mechanism has a turntable disk for supporting the sample container, and a motor for rotating the turntable disk. The cycle timer has a time-on controller for adjusting a time-on interval, and a time-off controller for adjusting a time-off interval. The rotation mechanism is enabled during the time-on interval, and disabled during the time-off interval, the time-on interval and time-off interval are repeated indefinitely to create a mixing duty cycle. The rotation speed of the turntable disk is adjusted by the speed controller.
