Abstract: A method of calibrating stack height sensing in a media stack height monitoring system in an image forming machine includes sensing the angular position of a pick mechanism arm, generating electrical signals having levels correlated to the pick mechanism arm angular positions that correspond to different stack height levels, measuring and storing at least one value corresponding to the level of the electrical signal at least at one of two calibration points: “full load” and “stack out” conditions of the media stack, estimating either the amount or percent of media sheets remaining in the media stack corresponding to measured and stored value of the electrical signal level at the at least one calibration point, and indicating either of the amount or percent of media sheets remaining in the media stack.

Abstract: A technique for optical measurement of a thickness of a layer on a surface uses diffuse reflections at opposite boundaries of the layer, operates on transparent, or translucent layers. The thickness is determined by computing a separation between the centers of the two diffuse reflections, and using the index of refraction of the layer, and geometric properties of a beam and detector with respect to the surface. The technique is useful for quantifying thickness of a layer of rime ice, glaze ice, frosted ice, or water, for example.

Abstract: The pH indicator for solid food called PHIND is a detector that reveals the acidity of solid food. Because the acidity of human stomach is about pH 3 and because the possibilities of the body to neutralize excesses of acidity are limited, the sole fact of eating acidic food can cause discomfort or heartburns. The PHIND is specifically humidified to turn red as soon as it is on contact with an acidic food even if this acidic food is solid, warning people of the danger of discomfort or heartburns. Sealed in a watertight and chemically neutral envelope to keep its properties in all circumstances, the PHIND is always ready to reveal the acidity of solid food. The PHIND is effective, easy to use and disposable.

Abstract translation: 称为PHIND的固体食物的pH指示剂是显示固体食物酸度的检测器。 因为人胃的酸度约为pH 3，并且由于身体中和酸度过度的可能性受到限制，食用酸性食物的唯一事实可能会引起不适或胃灼热。 即使这种酸性食物是坚实的，PHIND一旦与酸性食物接触就被特别加湿，变红，警告人们有不适或胃灼热的危险。 密封在水密和化学中性信封，以保持其性能在所有情况下，PHIND总是准备揭示固体食物的酸度。 PHIND有效，易于使用和一次性使用。

Abstract: This process uses two catalysts instead of one, converting CO2 into C8H18. Addition of a NaCl catalyst to a Ni catalyst improves the efficiency of Fischer's process because the salt catalyst retains humidity. Furthermore, chlorine opens chemical chains and sodium prevents crystals of oxygen from covering the Ni catalyst. If we are equipped to produce CO2 from biogas or smoke, we can recycle this CO2 and yield a useful liquid. In fact, recycling CO2 into a synthetic crude hydrocarbon, octane, contributes to clean air and to produce a valuable source of energy. Because CO2 is a renewable resource, this process favors a lasting economic development.

Abstract translation: 该方法使用两种催化剂代替一种，将CO 2转化为C 8 H 18。 向Ni催化剂中加入NaCl催化剂提高了菲舍尔工艺的效率，因为盐催化剂保持湿度。 此外，氯打开化学链，钠防止氧结晶覆盖Ni催化剂。 如果我们能够从沼气或烟雾中产生二氧化碳，我们可以回收这种二氧化碳并产生有用的液体。 事实上，将二氧化碳回收到合成粗烃（辛烷）中有助于清洁空气并产生有价值的能源。 因为二氧化碳是一种可再生资源，这个过程有利于持续的经济发展。

Abstract: A system for a player to play golf includes a member having a surface. A colored area is disposed on the surface of the member, the colored area is yellow which when stared at will produce a violet afterimage. The member or a printed representation thereof is placed on and article of wearing apparel worn by the player so that the player can see the colored area. Prior to hitting a golf ball, the player stares at the colored area for a few seconds, closes his/her eyes and sees the violet afterimage, then opens his/her eyes. The player then hits the golf ball.

Abstract: A system has a first transmitter for transmitting a first wireless signal within a first frequency. A second transmitter is for transmitting a second wireless signal with overlapping frequency. The first transmitter and the second transmitter are disposed sufficiently proximate to another such that the wireless signals substantially interfere resulting in a combined wireless signal with negative SNR for each of the first wireless signal and the second wireless signal, the negative SNR being a result of at least the other of the first wireless signal and the second wireless signal. A receiver is located for receiving a received wireless signal comprising substantially interfering encoded data signals having negative SNR. The receiver is for selecting from the substantially interfering encoded data signals a signal of interest and for decoding said signal of interest relative to at least the other substantially interfering data signal within the received wireless signal.
