| 20110268147 | THERMAL ANALYSIS - Techniques for determining one or more heat transfer characteristic values of a structure, such as an electronic device, are disclosed. A heat flux vector magnitude and a temperature gradient vector magnitude for a portion of the structure are determined, and a product of the heat flux vector magnitude with the temperature gradient vector magnitude is obtained. More particularly, the dot product of the heat flux vector magnitude with the temperature gradient vector magnitude may be obtained to provide a bottleneck heat transfer characteristic value. Alternately or additionally, a cross product (or related operation) of the heat flux vector magnitude with the temperature gradient vector magnitude is obtained to produce a shortcut heat transfer characteristic value. | 11-03-2011 |

| 20080205570 | Unlock Mode in Source Synchronous Receivers - A phase locked loop generates an output corresponding to a source synchronous input and an input link clock signal. A phase locking feedback system receives the input and an input link clock signal and detects phase deviations between the output and the input. The phase locking feedback system also adjusts an adjusted clock signal based on the phase deviations thereby causing the phase locking feedback system to generate the output so that the output has a steady phase relationship with the input. A first mechanism causes the phase locking feedback system not to track phase deviations between the output and the input upon occurrence of a first predefined event, thereby maintaining the adjusted clock signal at a current state. | 08-28-2008 |

| 20080262978 | Mail processing system including dimensional rating with true length support - A mail processing system that includes dimensional rating capability that provides true length support for carrier rates to prevent improper classification of mail pieces. The mail processing system determines a first dimension, parallel to the path of travel, and a second dimension, transverse to the path of travel, of a mail piece. The first dimension and second dimension are compared to each other to determine which is greater. The greater of the two dimensions is assigned to be the length of the mail piece, regardless of the orientation of the mail piece. The format of the mail piece is then determined based on a comparison of the assigned length and assigned width dimensions to maximum dimensions specified by a format table. Based on the determined format of the mail piece, a delivery fee is then calculated, and an indicium can be generated for the mail piece. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090020946 | METHOD FOR DETECTING PAPER FEED SHINGLING ERRORS AND SYNCHRONIZING A PRINTER AND A FEEDER - A method of synchronizing the feeding and printing of sheets of media, i.e., paper, envelopes, post cards, etc. even though shingled feeds have occurred in the system. The foregoing is accomplished by utilizing two sensors and counters to monitor two sheets of paper to allow two software tasks to stay in synchronization and release the appropriate print data to the printer even when a sheet of paper was not detected in the feeder appears at the print head. The feeder sensor has a counter for its Lead Edge as does the Start of Print Sensor that is in the system's transport paper path. The feeder sensor counter and the start of print counter are incremented and decremented as the paper approaches the sensor and leaves the sensor. If the lead edge counter of the feeder sensor goes negative, then the feeder has shingled and the data for that sheet of paper must be printed. | 01-22-2009 |

The method includes receiving image data for a first item of print media in a print job, processing the image data to create printable image data, and determining an image preparation time that is a time difference between the time when the printable image data is completed and the time when the start of the image data is first received. The method then further includes determining a current feeder speed based on at least the image preparation time. Following that that determination, the method includes: (i) turning the transport motor on, and (ii) setting a speed of the feeder motor equal to the current feeder speed and thereafter turning the feeder motor on. | 06-24-2010 |
