  • Fiber channel data transfer with feedback control within a photographic process printer system
    Patent number: 6166825
    Abstract: In a photographic process printer system that receives printable pixel data into a print engine component from a computer component over a high-speed fiber channel communication pathway. Feedback control messages from the print engine component are sent over a low-speed serial channel communication pathway to the computer component to control the transmission of printable pixel data. The computer component continues to transmit packets of printable pixel data over the high-speed fiber channel communication pathway as long as the feedback control messages indicate that the print engine component is ready to receive more packets of printable pixel data.

  • Articulated arm ultrasound imaging systems
    Patent number: 4492119
    Abstract: An ultrasound imaging system is provided having an articulated arm for holding a transducer. Signals representative of the angular position of the arm joints are scaled up to a voltage range over which the restricted range of movement of each joint is distributed. The scaled signals are combined to produce a plurality of combined angular signals, which then may be digitized and used to compute the X-Y position of the transducer.
