Abstract: A card, a first panel, a second panel opposing the first panel, and a detachable tab connected to at least one of the first panel and the second panel taken together form a card carrier system. The card is provided between the first panel and the second panel and secured to at least one of the first panel and the second panel such that the card is at least partially covered by at least one of first panel and the second panel. The detachable tab taken together with at least one of the first panel and the second panel covers a greater portion of the card than either the first or second panel alone. The card has an exposed portion extending past both the first panel and the second panel such that when the detachable tab is removed, the exposed portion of the card may be encoded.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system and method of processing image data in an image forming device is provided. The system can be configured to scan one or more sheets of print media and generate one or more image data pages. The one or more image data pages can be loaded into a memory as each image data page is generated. A first image data page can be copied into a page frame memory from the memory. The first image data page can be transmitted for imaging to an imaging mechanism where the transmitting can occur in parallel with the loading.

Abstract: An apparatus of measuring concentration of wastewater is provided for determining discharge rate of wastewater from a wastewater-collecting tank. The apparatus includes a mixing tank, a measuring tank, a water supply unit, a wastewater supply unit, a concentration detector, a controller, and a monitor. The measuring tank is communicated with the mixing tank, and the water supply unit is communicated with the mixing tank. Further, the concentration detector is located in the measuring tank, the controller is electronically connected respectively with all other devices, and the monitor is electronically connected with the controller to show the operating status of every device. The apparatus is capable of measuring real concentration of wastewater in the wastewater-collecting tank, and results of which can be used to adjust the discharge rate from the wastewater-collecting tank within a safe range.

Abstract: A cleaning system that includes a cleaning device, a pipeline having a first end, a valve connected between the cleaning device and a second end of the pipeline to enable water flow from the pipeline to the cleaning device when the valve is held at an open position, a limit switch connected to the valve for providing a signal in response to a position of the valve, a controller electrically coupled to the limit switch to receive the signal, and a monitor electrically connected to the controller and operating in response to the signal.

Abstract: In an exemplary device implementation, the device includes: a scanner capable of scanning a scanning target to produce an electronic image of the scanning target; and a printer capable of printing an image of the scanning target on a media, the printer including a print engine; wherein the device is adapted to overlap the scanning of the scanning target with preparation of the print engine for printing.

Abstract: Polymorphisms are identified in a human gene which encodes a voltage-gated ion channel. The gene maps to the same portion of human chromosome 13q22 to which genes for schizophrenia susceptibility, Bipolar Disorder, and Panic Disorder Syndrome have been mapped. The polymorphisms are used to follow inheritance of the susceptibilities within families. They are also used to identify affected probands. A complete mRNA sequence and genomic structure provide insights into function and relationship to other ion channels.

Abstract: A printer and method that allows the user to store print jobs indefinitely in the printer's disk drive or other data storage device. The printer stores a document and prints one or more copies of the document from an electronic transmission of a single copy of the document accompanied by a command indicating the desired disposition of the document. The printer includes a user interface, a controller that includes a data storage device, and a print engine connected to the controller.
