摘要： A consumable supply item for an imaging device holds an initial or refillable volume of ink. An interior retains the ink while exit and return ports define openings through a housing to fluidly communicate the interior to the imaging device. The opening of the return port is larger than the opening of the exit port. The design slows the return of fluid to the housing which minimizes air bubbles or frothiness in the fluid. During use, ink depletes toward a bottom surface of the interior beneath which the ink is prevented from occupying. A housing section below the interior retains a portion of the exit port so that a bottom of the opening of the exit port is substantially horizontally aligned with the bottom surface. It prevents stranding ink beneath the exit port. Further embodiments include port configuration, construction, and modular components, to name a few.

摘要： A housing defines a fluid reservoir for an imaging device. One or more exterior walls define a volume for holding ink to set a fluid backpressure in the imaging device. An opening in the walls is positioned for overflowing excessive ink from the volume to maintain the fluid backpressure within a predetermined operating range. Fluid inlets and outlets connect the reservoir to both a supply item and an ejection head. Ink flows into the reservoir from the supply item. It fills until the fluid rises to a height where it overflows back to the supply item. Less full reservoirs fill as the pump operates, while full reservoirs simultaneously return fluid back to their supply containers. Fluid does not spill from the walls.

摘要： View space representation data is produced in real time from a world space database representing terrain features. The world space database is first preprocessed. A database is formed having one element for each spatial region corresponding to a finest selected level of detail. A multiresolution database is then formed by merging elements and a strict error metric is computed for each element at each level of detail that is independent of parameters defining the view space. The multiresolution database and associated strict error metrics are then processed in real time for real time frame representations. View parameters for a view volume comprising a view location and field of view are selected. The error metric with the view parameters is converted to a view-dependent error metric. Elements with the coarsest resolution are chosen for an initial representation. Data set first elements from the initial representation data set are selected that are at least partially within the view volume. The first elements are placed in a split queue ordered by the value of the view-dependent error metric. If the number of first elements in the queue meets or exceeds a predetermined number of elements or whether the largest error metric is less than or equal to a selected upper error metric bound, the element at the head of the queue is force split and the resulting elements are inserted into the queue. Force splitting is continued until the determination is positive to form a first multiresolution set of elements. The first multiresolution set of elements is then outputted as reduced resolution view space data representing the terrain features.

摘要： A precision decimal inch tape measure has a housing that holds a retractable measurement tape. The retractable measurement tape has a hook on an end. The retractable measurement tape has an upper measurement scale defined along an upper portion of the retractable measurement tape and a lower measurement scale defined along a lower portion of the retractable measurement tape. Both the upper measurement scale and the lower measurement scale indicate inches divided into decimal divisions. The upper measurement scale includes a cumulative foot indicia and the lower measurement scale includes a cumulative inch indicia. The cumulative foot indicia is indicated in red and the cumulative inch indicia is indicated in black. The precision decimal inch tape measure is designed to work with drawings produced in decimal inches as is the preferred standard of CAD drawings. This instant invention works with cumulative feet and inches or with cumulative inches.
