A Fizeau interferometer is provided with an adaptive null optic whose shape may be selectively varied in a controllable way by the selective application of external mechanical loads to enable the interferometer to be dynamically adapted to testing a variety of aspherical segments of differing shapes without the need for providing individual reference surfaces to match the various shapes of each test segment.

A valve arrangement for a pump, the pump being suitable for urging fluid into therapeutic inflatable cell apparatus, the valve arrangement comprising a rotatable valve member provided with at least one fluid passageway, the rotatable valve member being adapted to be rotated to predetermined angular positions so as to control fluid quantity in the therapeutic inflatable cell apparatus. The valve arrangement further comprises a static valve member, provided with at least one fluid passageway which is adapted to be communicable with the inflatable cell apparatus and the rotatable valve member being arranged to be rotatable with respect to the static valve member into a position in which said at least one fluid passageway of the rotatable valve member is in fluid communication with the at least one fluid passageway of the static valve member.

A method, system, and computer readable medium are provided for enabling a user and an administrator in a network environment to interactively customize administrator controls used to filter the user's online actions. The computer receives a user request to perform a blocked online action. The computer provides information about the pending request to the administrator and receives request resolution information from the administrator. The computer updates the administrator controls used to filter the user's online actions in accordance with the request resolution information.
摘要:
A method of pouring a fluid from a container (having a spout with a fluid outlet) tilts the container to at least one angle that causes fluid to enter the spout. As a result, fluid exits the spout through the fluid outlet. The fluid passing through the spout also causes the mechanical member to move. The method then correlates movement of the mechanical member with visual or other indicia showing the volume of fluid passing through the fluid outlet.

Methods and apparatus that combine the techniques of reversal (or self-calibration) to provide a low spatial frequency measurement of a part shape, independent of systematic errors in the staging used to move the part and small aperture interferometry to provide high spatial frequency information on a large part. The low spatial frequency is used to establish the rigid body motions (e.g., tip, tilt, and piston for a plano object) to be applied to the individual sub-apertures of interferometric data in stitching them together to give a full map at high resolution of the whole part. No overlap between sub-apertures is required.

The new invention allows for easy retrieval of fall backs and eases the initial threading process upon initial opening/use of the package. Threading is done without removing the cap. Several of the embodiments allow refills to be inserted into the canister without removing the lid/cap. The layout of the dispensing system and the geometry and shape of the dispensing orifice/aperture minimize and mitigate product fall backs. The new invention improves performance of the orifices/apertures through unique geometry and shape as well as using different materials from existing products or the combination of multiple materials. Varying orifice diameter, co-molded density and stiffness or geometry of the actual lobes defining the dispensing aperture allows the precise amount of friction to be created in the dispensing opening for selectively grabbing or releasing the towelette, thereby tearing the towelette connecting perforations at just the right time.
摘要:
An operating system registry contains multiple “identities.” One of these identities is designated the current identity. An application executing on a multitasking computer system uses information stored in the current identity to configure the application, for example to provide a user-specific user interface. When an application opens, it registers with an identity manager using objects known as “connection points.” To switch identities, a user supplies the name of an identity to switch to. The identity manager then uses the registered connection points to query each of the applications for permission to switch identities. If all the registered connection points grant permission to switch identities, then the identity manager switches the current identity by changing information in the registry. The identity manager then notifies all applications, via their registered connection points, that a change to the registry has been made so that the applications can take appropriate action.

A binary theme file format provides optimized access to retrieve graphical component theme property data. The binary format includes data structures storing a set of defined visual characteristics for graphical component classes, parts, and states. The data structure includes a hierarchy of theme data. A theme manager quickly retrieves theme property data by indexing into the binary file with a unique theme handle. The theme manager accesses state, part, class, and global property sections to retrieve theme data. Jump tables and jump-to-parent references allow for quickly traversing property data sections. Packed data sections have packed objects having the necessary property data for frequently used graphical components. A custom image region data section provides border data for nontransparent image borders. A sampled colors section facilitates rendering of images with solid sections. The binary file format can be constructed using a text theme file and is loaded into shared process memory.

A system theme schema file format includes declarations of enumerations, properties, control parts, and control part states for providing extensible theming of the visual appearance of a computer operating system's user interface components. Custom theme schema files can extend the system theme schema by adding declarations of custom enumerations, custom properties, custom control part, and custom control part states, thereby participating in theming of the visual appearance of components of the computer's operating system. The schema files establish the allowable form and content of data that specifies how user interface components should be displayed in accordance with particular themes. Themes are defined and user interface components are displayed by the operating system in accordance with the information specified in the schema files.

The present invention provides a media handling system for an imaging system, such as an external drum platesetter. Separate input and output trays are provided, thereby allowing pre-staging of a second printing plate while a first printing plate is being imaged. The input tray is positioned over the output tray to reduce the floor space (i.e., footprint) of the imaging system.
