Abstract: A method of compressing digital data comprising the steps of: (i) reading digital data as series of binary coded words representing a context and a codeword to be compressed; (ii) calculating distribution output data for the input data and assigning variable length codewords to the result; and (iii) periodically recalculating the codewords in accordance with a predetermined schedule, in order to continuously update the codewords and their lengths.

Abstract: The invention is directed towards methods and apparatus for accurately detecting the presence and concentration of an oxidant in a turbid water sample. This method is very helpful in allowing accurate and efficient (not too much nor too little) amounts of microbe killing oxidants to be introduced to water supplies that require oxidants but which at present cannot be measured properly. The method comprises the steps of: passing the water through at least one filter array, passing the filtered water to an analyzer, and then returning from the analyzer a measurement of the concentration. The filter array comprises at least one filter constructed and arranged to remove turbidity inducing material but not oxidant from the water sample. The analyzer can be a commonly commercially available analyzer that currently cannot accurately measure the oxidant concentration if the water had not been so filtered.

Abstract: The present subject matter provides an oven range appliance. The oven range appliance includes a cabinet. The cabinet defines a width. A cooktop is positioned at a top portion of the cabinet. The cooktop includes a ceramic panel. The ceramic panel defines a width. The width of the ceramic panel is about equal to the width of the cabinet. Thus, the ceramic panel can extend across the width of the cabinet.

Abstract: A method of inkjet printing includes the steps of: printing a first ink onto a print medium, the first ink including a first self-dispersible pigment, the first ink having a first pigment content A; and subsequently printing a second ink onto the print medium at least partially over the first ink, the second ink including a second pigment and a polymeric dispersant encapsulating the second pigment, the second ink having a second pigment content B. The first self-dispersible pigment and the second pigment have a same color; the pigment content A of the first ink and the pigment content B of the overprinted second ink have a relationship 0.8?A/B?1.2; and a polymer acid value of the polymeric dispersant is in the range of 100 to 170.

Abstract: A translatable support mechanism is provided. The translatable support mechanism includes a storage component, a pair of supports, and a pair of gear sets. The pair of supports and the pair of gear sets support the storage component such that the storage component is translatable between an open and closed position along a transverse direction.

Abstract: A filtering system is provided that includes at least one temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of a filter cartridge. The temperature measurements can used to determine whether the filter cartridge is at an increased risk of suffering a leak due to a crack of other material failure caused by exposure to certain temperatures. More than one temperature sensor may be used. The temperature measurements can also be used to determine whether one or more corrective actions should be taken such as e.g., providing a notification to a user and/or shutting of a flow of fluid to the filter cartridge.

The pair of supports and the pair of gear sets support the storage component such that the storage component is translatable between an open and closed position along a transverse direction.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a dishwasher appliance is provided. A set of interchangeable tubs with a metal tub and a plastic tub and a set of interchangeable of inner door panels with a metal inner door panel and an outer door panel are provided. One of the set of interchangeable inner door panels is mounted to one of the set of interchangeable tubs to assemble the dishwasher appliance. The method can provide a dishwasher appliance with a metal inner door panel and a metal tub, a metal inner door panel and a plastic tub, a plastic inner door panel and a metal tub, or a plastic inner door panel and a plastic tub.

Abstract: An oven appliance is provided. The oven appliance includes a pair of doors and a pair of flanges. Each flange of the pair of flanges is mounted to a respective one of the pair of doors. The flanges engage and overlap each other when the pair of doors is in a closed position and include features for limiting wear between the flanges.

Abstract: An oven appliance is provided. The oven appliance includes a pair of doors. Each door of the pair of doors includes an outer door panel and an inner door panel. The outer and inner door panels are spaced apart from each other along at least one edge of the door such that the inner and outer door panels define a thermal break therebetween. The thermal break can assist with limiting or hindering heat transfer between the inner and outer door panels.

Abstract: A lighting assembly is provided. The lighting assembly includes a bracket and a frusto-spherical housing received by the bracket and mounted for rotation relative to the bracket. By rotating the frusto-spherical housing within the bracket, light emitted by the lighting assembly can be focused or directed in a selected direction.

Abstract: A method and a system for displaying an airport or runway moving map with traffic information on a display screen in the cockpit or flight deck of an aircraft. Symbology representing surface and near-surface aircraft and surface vehicle traffic and associated traffic data are filtered to prevent or limit clutter on the display screen. Traffic symbology is automatically and manually filtered to display only relevant traffic. Traffic data is selectively displayed and displayed as/when relevant or needed. The displayed traffic information may be derived from automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast, traffic information system-broadcast, automatic dependent surveillance-rebroadcast, traffic collision avoidance system or other source.

Abstract: A clutch positioning assembly for a washing machine appliance is provided. The assembly uses a cam that can be rotated so as to position the clutch between different positions that provide for engaging or disengaging a motor from a wash basket. A leaf spring, configured as a yoke in one exemplary embodiment, provides a force to urge the clutch into a position that e.g., disengages the wash basket from the motor during e.g., wash modes while also allowing the clutch to be moved into a position that engages the wash basket with the motor during spin modes. The clutch positioning assembly can be provided as a modular unit that is connected with the appliance during manufacturing.

Abstract: An appliance is provided having one or more racks or shelves, the position of which may be adjusted vertically. Multiple different positions along the vertical direction can be made available for selection by a user of the appliance. One or more locking mechanisms allow for selective adjustment of the vertical position at which a shelf may be located.

Abstract: A system and method for creating a dollar index are provided including selecting, from a survey on foreign exchange turnover, data for plural dollar/foreign currency pairs, creating a subset of data from the daily total daily averages of each currency pair and determining the percentage weighting of each currency pair by the total value of the subset, creation of a proportionally weighted dollar index by multiplying the determined weighting of each currency pair with a reported closing price of that currency pair to generate a coefficient for that currency pair and determination of a subsequent current value of the index by multiplying each generated coefficient with a current price for a currency pair.

Abstract: A washing machine appliance and a method of operation thereof are provided for shifting between different modes such as wash, rinse, and/or spin modes. A clutch is used to shift between the different modes of operation. Alignment of the clutch, particularly the clutch teeth, is provided so as to allow for proper engagement of the clutch and motor or to properly align the clutch teeth for disengagement and locking with locking teeth carried upon e.g., a platform lock.
