| 20080283584 | Method and Terminal for Presenting in Speech Format Product Descriptions Attachable to Products - The invention is especially intended for visually impaired persons who are not able to read text printed on products or product containers. With the invented method at least a part of a product description, which corresponds to a bar code read and which is fetched from a product information database, is stored in at least one memory accessible to the terminal. After this, in response to a command ordered by a user of the terminal, the RFID identifier attached to the terminal is read and the product description is presented in speech format so that the information readable in the memory and the RFID identifier is utilized in the presentation. The terminal is preferably a mobile station equipped with a speech synthesizer. A visually impaired person can point with the terminal to one or more products and listen via an audio system of the terminal to the product descriptions related to them. When RFID identifiers are attached to the product, the products need to be pointed to as precisely when reading bar codes. The products are, for example, foodstuff or medicine. | 11-20-2008 |

| 20110290438 | Closed-loop Monitoring and Identification of CD Alignment for Papermaking Processes - Alignment is a critical component for modeling a cross-directional (CD) papermaking process. It specifies the spatial relationship between individual CD actuators to paper quality measurements. Misalignment can occur unexpectedly due to sheet wander or CD shrinkage variation. In certain applications and circumstances, a misalignment of one third (⅓) actuator zone width can result in significant paper quality degradation. Detecting a misalignment and identifying CD alignment in closed loop are highly demanded in paper mills but these are nontrivial problems. A technique for maintaining proper CD alignment in sheetmaking systems entails monitoring the alignment online, triggering closed loop identification if misalignment is detected, and then deploying the new alignment. No personnel intervention is required. | 12-01-2011 |

| 20080264591 | Apparatus and method for controlling product grade changes in a paper machine or other machine - A paper machine includes equipment for processing or producing a product in a continuous manner, such as a paper sheet. A grade change occurs when the equipment transitions from producing or processing a product having a first grade to producing or processing a product having a second grade. To support the grade change, a target for at least one controlled variable and a target for at least one manipulated variable are identified. The at least one manipulated variable and the at least one controlled variable are associated with the production of the product. A trajectory for the at least one manipulated variable and a corresponding trajectory for the at least one controlled variable are identified using the targets. The grade change is implemented using the trajectories so as to transition from production of the product having the first grade to production of the product having the second grade. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080294419 | Apparatus and method for simulating multi-dimensional non-linear multivariable processes - A process simulator is provided for simulating the behavior of multi-dimensional non-linear multivariable processes. A multi-dimensional non-linear multivariable model of a process can be generated, such as by using smaller building blocks. One or more inputs are provided to the model, a behavior of the process is simulated in real-time using the model, and one or more outputs of the model are provided. The model could represent a two-dimensional non-linear multivariable model, and the one or more inputs to the model and/or the one or more outputs of the model could be array-based. The process simulator could be formed from multiple components, such as a regulatory loop simulator object, a process model object, a disturbance generator object, and a scanner simulator object. The arrangement of the objects can be flexible and configurable, such as by designing the objects in an object-oriented manner utilizing a sink/source architecture. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20110295390 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MODELING AND CONTROL OF CROSS-DIRECTION FIBER ORIENTATION PROCESSES - A method includes generating a model associated with cross-directional fiber orientation of a web, which includes identifying spatial frequency characteristics of a fiber orientation (FO) process. The method also includes providing the model for control of the FO process. Generating the model could include performing a spatial impulse test of the FO process, and long wavelength responses of the FO process can be identified by performing a spatial long wavelength test of the FO process or by retrieving information from a historical database. Actuator edge padding can be applied to the model in order to generate a controller model. A controller can be used to control the process based on the controller model. At least one parameter of the controller model can be dynamically adjusted during operation of the controller. The controller can change average fiber orientation angle profiles and twist profiles by only adjusting slice lip actuators in a headbox. | 12-01-2011 |
