摘要： A system and method for efficient uncorrectable error detection in flash memory is described. A microcontroller including a non-volatile flash memory utilizes an Error Correction Code (ECC) having a certain error detection and correction bit strength. The user data is first processed by a hash function and hash data is stored with the user data. Then, the user data and hash data are processed by the ECC system. In detection, the hash ensures that a relatively low bit-strength ECC system did not incorrectly manipulate the user data. Such a hash integrity check provides an efficient, robust detection of incorrectly corrected user data resulting from errors beyond the correction but strength of the ECC system utilized.

摘要： A method for maintaining mailpiece integrity in a mailing system when a mechanical module experiences an error. For one category of errors, the mailing system may automatically recover from the error without operator intervention. For the remaining category of errors, the mailing system may recover from the error with minimum operator intervention, that is, the operator may be required to only remove the error producing mailpiece. A motion control processor for an error producing mechanical module will report a fault to its corresponding mailpiece builder task (30) and the error detector task. Movement of at least the error producing mailpiece shall stop. The fault will be reported to the mailpiece builder tasks (30) corresponding to the mechanical modules having no error condition. The mailing system shall suspend further processing of mailpieces upstream from the error producing mailpiece. For one category of errors, the mailing system will purge the error producing mailpiece from the error producing module without operator intervention. For the remaining category of errors, the operator will be required to remove at least the error producing mailpiece. State machines (24) are then selected to perform system wide job recovery.

摘要翻译： 一种当机械模块遇到错误时在邮件系统中维护邮件完整性的方法。 对于一类错误，邮件系统可能会自动从错误中恢复，而无需操作人员的干预。 对于剩余的错误类别，邮寄系统可以以最小的操作员干预从错误中恢复，也就是说，操作者可能只需要除去产生错误的邮件。 用于错误产生机械模块的运动控制处理器将向相应的邮件构建器任务（30）和错误检测器任务报告故障。 至少产生错误的邮件的移动将停止。 该故障将被报告给对应于没有错误状况的机械模块的邮件制作者任务（30）。 邮寄系统应暂停对错误生成邮件上游邮件的进一步处理。 对于一类错误，邮件系统将在错误生成模块中清除产生邮件的错误，而无需操作人员的干预。 对于其余类别的错误，操作员将至少要移除错误的邮件。 然后选择状态机（24）来执行系统范围的作业恢复。

摘要： A method of controlling a motor to cause it to execute a move toward a target position including calculating (105) a deceleration position, wherein when the deceleration position is reached, the motor will be caused to execute a deceleration in a manner that will result in the motor stopping short of the target position, and determining (135) whether the requested move is a first move type after the motor has reached the deceleration position and the deceleration is complete. If the requested move is a first move type, the method includes causing (145) the motor to move toward the target position at a first velocity, and if the requested move is a second move type, the method includes causing (140) the DC motor to move toward the requested target position at a second velocity, wherein the second velocity is greater than the first velocity. Settling time is also varied (175, 180) depending on move type (170).

摘要： A mailing machine is provided that determines if entry into a disabled state is coupled with the need for auxiliary information to be entered by the user. If auxiliary information is required to be entered by the user, the print head will not move to the capped position but instead remains in the printing position, and a timer is activated to provide the user with time to enter the information. If the user enters the required information before a predetermined amount of time has expired, the mail piece will be processed without any delay required for the print head to move from the capped position to the printing position. Only if the user has not entered the required information within the predetermined amount of time will the print head move to the capped position.

摘要： A mailing machine is provided, that when operating in a differential weighing mode, can detect if a user has replaced one or more mail pieces that may have been inadvertently removed at the same time back onto the scale. If the mailing machine detects such replacement within a predetermined time period after the scale has stabilized, the weight calculated for the mail piece can be reduced by the amount added back to the scale, or alternatively the user could be requested to confirm that multiple pieces were inadvertently removed from the scale at the same time and the user is trying to correct that error and a new weight determined.

摘要： Methods and systems are provided that reduce feeding and weighing errors in a manually fed mailing machine thereby allowing a very fast throughput to be achieved while a user is taking mail pieces off of a scale and feeding them into the mailing machine. Weights or postage amounts for additional subsequent mail pieces are accepted before the processing of a preceding mail piece has been completed. A queue is maintained for information that has been provided by an attached scale such that the mailing machine can correctly associate each weight or postage amount with the appropriate mail piece when it is fed into the mailing machine. When processing of a previous mail piece has been completed, the information from the next location in the queue is obtained and utilized to generate an indicium for the next mail piece fed into the mailing machine.
