Abstract: The method for measuring the properties of petroleum fuels by distillation relates to a measuring method for predicting the property values of complex hydrocarbon fuels, such as the property values of gasoline, by distillation. Compensation of boiling point distribution measurements used for the prediction of physical properties of hydrocarbons is further performed.

Abstract: The pagewidth inkjet printer provides for simultaneous printing across a horizontal portion of a sheet of paper, as opposed to horizontal scanning of a conventional inkjet printer. The pagewidth inkjet printer includes a platen for incrementally translating a page of paper and a controller for selectively driving rotation of the platen. A housing is mounted adjacent to the platen and is fixed with respect thereto. A plurality of print heads are mounted within the housing. Each print head has a plurality of nozzles for selectively ejecting ink, and each nozzle is adapted for ejecting a distinct color of ink. The plurality of nozzles of each print head are aligned in a direction parallel to a direction of translation of the page of paper. The plurality of print heads are arrayed and aligned linearly along a direction orthogonal to the direction of translation of the page of paper.

Abstract: There is disclosed an image capture apparatus that facilitates fast, easy and convenient image capture of the two apposing pages of hard to scan bound documents such as thick books. The image capture apparatus has special design features that conveniently and properly positions bound documents to enable capturing distortion-free images without damage to the binding. In one preferred embodiment the invention facilitates the use of a digital image capture module such as a digital camera or digital video camera in performing an equivalent function to a flatbed scanner in recording digital images. In another preferred embodiment the invention facilitates the use of a regular camera in recording photographic images of the bound document. In yet another preferred embodiment the invention facilitates the use of a flatbed scanner in recording digital images.

Abstract: There is disclosed an automatic electronic window shading (tinting) system for houses and transport vehicles such as automobiles, RV's, trains, boats and the like, to provide shading for people to protect them from exposure to harmful direct sunlight, by providing the windows of said houses and transport vehicles with display elements and light (photocell/photovoltaic) sensors. The system comprises liquid crystal, electrochromic, suspended particle device (SPD), or NanoChromics display (NCD) element attached to a part of a transparent body (such as the windows) and a liquid crystal, electrochromic, suspended particle device (SPD), or NanoChromics display (NCD) controlling semiconductor element controlling the operation of the display element.

Abstract: There is disclosed an antitheft security alarm system and method for manhole covers, rainwater drains, and the like, to prevent burglary of the cover by transmitting a wireless alarm signal to a remote station when the cap is removed to notify a dispatch center or other notification message recipient of the burglary incident and location. The security apparatus may be an integrated unit, including sensors, a telemetry unit, a power supply, a processor, and supporting hardware, all located in an enclosed, waterproof housing. The security alarm system apparatus is adapted to fit within a manhole cavity without the need for extensive or alteration of existing manhole structures.

Abstract: The present invention is a flatbed scanner operating with a digital image capture module comprising two-dimensional (2D) optical image photo-sensor and in particular with a digital camera or digital video camera. The present invention further relates to flatbed scanners and means and methods of supporting cameras, and particularly, although not exclusively, to a flatbed scanner housing for holding a digital camera to allow the digital camera to act as a document capture device in obtaining digital images suitable for downloading to a personal computer or other computer peripherals such as a printer. The scanner incorporates an image capturing module comprising 2D image photosensor and assembly such as flash light, electronic circuit, and software inside the flatbed scanner box to function like an image capturing module where said scanner box functions like the camera body with an internal lens internal.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method and compounds for treating floor tiles to make them dust proof. Treated tiles by said method and compounds acquire the property of not collecting dust after dust storms in dusty regions and having a clean appearance. The disclosed method comprises coating of said tiles with said chemical compounds by rubbing to create a thin transparent protective sealing layer which prevents the sticking of dust particles that are eventually swept away by winds. The disclosed method is simple and the disclosed compounds are widely available and cheap. Furthermore, the invention saves money and effort of continuously cleaning in dusty regions.

Abstract: There is disclosed a prophylactic and therapeutic antiviral composition and in particular compositions which comprise containing vertebrates kidney as a main component. Use of the composition through parenteral administration for the prevention and treatment of viral-induced tumors, lesions and diseases in mammals such as humans or to prepare a medicament is also disclosed. The composition is very effective in preventing and treating viral infections and manifestations as hyperplasia, keratosis, and dermatosis and in particular those caused by Papillomavirus and more particularly Human Papillomavirus. Among the many benefits, the present compounds provide high remedial effect and complete resolution in a relatively short course of treatment with no risk of side effects what so ever. The composition is abundant, inexpensive, easily prepared, and may be self administered to the afflicted area by the patients themselves.

Abstract: There is disclosed an inkjet printer containing an array of stationary printheads/color-cartridges aligned along the page width of the page to be printed with overlapping and non-overlap arrangement. The printhead is in the form of an elongate printhead cartridge for use in a pagewidth printer and can be attached to the ink supply units along the sides and along a back surface thereof. The pagewidth inkjet printer has many advantages over the conventional inkjet printers with moving printhead/color cartridge assembly and the prior art patent pagewidth inkjet printer cartridge formed using MEMS techniques. Alternate overlapping printhead arrangement is provided ensuring no gaps in printed images due to the low nozzle packing densities permitted by the standard inkjet technologies for adequate print coverage of the printed page.
