A system on a network provides estimated time of arrival information to a client located on the network. The system is adapted to present to the client pages for eliciting a product inquiry including a product number. The system receives the product inquiry, determines estimated time of arrivals for various destinations for at least one in-transit unit having the product number, and transmits to the client the estimated time of arrivals.

A head slider has a medium-opposed surface defining first and second areas extending side by side from the inflow end to the outflow end. A head element is embedded in an insulating non-magnetic film. The head element at least locates a write gap in a first section defined in the insulating non-magnetic film in the first area. A first actuator is embedded in the insulating non-magnetic film in the first area. The first actuator causes the first section to protrude. A second actuator is embedded in the insulating non-magnetic film in the second area. The second actuator causes a second section of the insulating non-magnetic film to protrude. The second section is utilized in a so-called zero calibration. The first section and the head element are prevented from protruding during the zero calibration. This results in are liable avoidance of damage to the head element.

The present invention relates to a communication system/method including a message export section/step of exporting a message to a user terminal through a communication network on the basis of a preset export condition, a reply confirming section/step of receiving from the user terminal through the communication network a reply to the message exported by the message export section/step, and confirming the reply, and an action executing section/step of executing a preset action when no reply is confirmed by the reply confirming section/step. In the communication system/method, the user terminal and an action execution apparatus which executes the steps are connected through the communication network.
摘要:
In the air-conditioning system, a primary side to generate heat includes a heat storage and a heat source and produces cool or warm water using an inexpensive commercial power source such as a nighttime power source. A system collaboration unit is disposed between a motor to drive a water pump and a power source. The unit is connected to the motor via a cable. An output from the inverter is connected to the motor via a cable.

A printer controller obtains high-speed bitmap generation processing while maintaining flexibility in macro definition when generating bitmap data from a macro-formed data. A processing unit calls macro data from a memory storing macro data to generate bitmap data. The processing unit determines effectiveness of bitmapping the macro instruction, to store into memory the bitmap data only when the bitmapped data is determined effective. Even in case of macro definition having degree of freedom, the data can be retained in a bitmap form. This enables to omit command analysis and expansion next time or after in macro control having flexibility in macro definition.
摘要:
Methods of generating electricity from a fuel cell system and fuel cell systems are provided. The fuel cell system comprises a fuel cell stack divided into an anode-side sub-stack, central sub-stack, and cathode-side sub-stack by current collectors positioned at each end of the fuel cell stack and two current collectors positioned at intermediate positions of the fuel cell stack. A collector switch connects the current collectors positioned at each end of the fuel cell stack and the current collectors at intermediate positions to a load. The fuel cell system further comprises a means of controlling the collector switch and a means of measuring the temperature of the fuel cell stack. The collector switch is controlled with the means of controlling the collector switch so that the central sub-stack generates electricity before the anode-side sub-stack and the cathode-side sub-stack start to generate electricity. The temperature of the fuel cell stack is measured using the means of measuring the temperature. The collector switch is controlled with the means of controlling the collector switch so that electricity is generated by the anode-side sub-stack, cathode-side sub-stack, and central sub-stack when the means of measuring the temperature of the fuel cell stack measures a temperature greater than or equal to a predetermined temperature. In other embodiments of the invention the means of controlling the collector switch controls the collector switch in response to measurements of the ambient temperature adjacent the fuel cell stack, the voltage across the central sub-stack, or the interval of time from the start of electrical generation of the central sub-stack.
