  • Patent number: 8708878
    Abstract: Conventional art has a structure consisting of a roll axis incorporating a structure of fine pores, and a roll unit provided around the outer circumference of a roll axis, wherein internal pressure of the roll axis is dispersed to the roll unit to make a fluid (gas-liquid) suction action, thus reducing the pressure loss and obtaining even distribution of the fluid (gas-liquid). As such, instead of a tubular roll axis, the structure of a roll axis is made fin-shaped or groove-shaped to maximize the action surface area that works on the inner pressure of the roll axis of the roll unit. However, other problems such as inefficiency of the fluid (gas-liquid) suction action and lack of mechanical strength of the roll axis remains.

  • Patent number: 8441525
    Abstract: A method for synchronizing a function on a remote device with a function on a primary device includes selectively broadcasting, from a radio frequency (RF) transmitter of the primary device, data broadcast on channels at different times relative to a fixed period strobe signal of the primary device. Only the channels that have a noise level below a specified threshold level selectively broadcast the data and each of the channels have an associated fixed time frame offset relative to the fixed period strobe signal. Each of the channels is broadcast after their associated fixed time frame offset expires. An RF receiver of the remote device receives the data on one of the channels. The data on each of the channels is received at different times, depending on its associated fixed time frame offset, which results in the data on each received channel having an associated received time reference relative to a strobe signal of the remote device.
