摘要： A method for communicating mailing preferences of a mail recipient including a messenger for use in connection with an unsolicited mailpiece received by a mail recipient. The messenger functions to communicate a mailing preference to the sender of the unsolicited mailpiece that the mail recipient desires some change regarding future unsolicited mail communications from the sender. The mailing preference may include an instruction to discontinue future mail communications from the sender. The messenger may be affixed in combination with the unsolicited mailpiece and re-introduced into the mail distribution system by the mail recipient. Further, the messenger may be mailed to and received by a mail service provider to act on behalf of the mail recipient for the purpose of communicating the mailing preference or instruction to the sender.

摘要： A method and system for producing a printed text. A system operates in accordance with the method to: receive a message signal created by an author and representative of the semantic content of a printed text; produce a text signal in response to the message signal; analyze the message signal to determine a non-semantic indicator of the author's state of mind; determine a non-semantic characteristic of the printed text as a function of the determined non-semantic indicator; and printing the printed text in response to the text signal and the determined characteristic. The message signal can be a voice signal. A physiological signal such as pulse rate or variations in the pace, volume, tremulation, or average wavelength of the author's speech can also be used to determine the author's state of mind. In another embodiment of the invention, a system operates to input a message signal; generate a text signal representative of the printed text; analyze the message signal to determine a non-semantic indicator of the author's state of mind; map a state of mind indicator vector comprising the determined non-semantic indicator into an actual state of mind vector; and determine a non-semantic characteristic of the printed text as a function of the actual state of mind vector; and to print the text in accordance with the text signal and the determined non-semantic characteristic.

摘要： A system for ensuring that printed matter is properly printed on a print medium including a printer having a feeding device and a plurality of detecting devices disposed along a length of the feeding device. The print medium has a plurality of signaling components, and each of the detecting devices is able to detect the presence of each of the signaling components. The system determines a first feed orientation of the print medium based on an order in which the detecting devices detects the presence of the signaling components when the print medium is being fed into the printer. Alternatively, the first feed orientation may be based on identifying information contained in the signaling components. The printer causes the printed matter to be printed in a proper location and in a proper orientation on the print medium based on the first feed orientation.

摘要： A printing system is provided that dynamically adjusts the method of printing an image based on the lightness or darkness of the medium upon which the image will be printed. The reflectivity of the medium upon which an image is to be printed is determined, and the way in which the image will be printed is adjusted based on the determined reflectivity of the medium. For lighter colored mediums, on which sufficient contrast will be provided, the image can be printed directly onto the medium. For darker colored mediums, on which the ink used to print the image will not provide enough contrast with respect to the medium to produce a reliably readable image, the method of printing the image is modified to ensure that sufficient contrast is always provided to produce a reliably readable image.

摘要： A method for adaptively controlling a Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) system having a plurality of interrogating antennas and RFID tags. The method comprises the steps of establishing a timeout setting indicative of the time that each interrogating antenna powers a read field during a respective read period and a threshold time period indicative of the time required to transmit energy/exchange data between the RFID tag and the interrogating antenna. A period differential is then calculated which is indicative of the difference between the timeout setting and the time elapsed for the final RFID tag within a respective read field to communicate its RFID tag information. The timeout setting for each interrogating antenna may then be adaptively tuned or varied in accordance with the period differential. To expedite and/or refine the adaptive tuning feature, a variance may also be calculated indicative of the difference between the threshold time period and the period differential. The timeout setting may be decremented when the threshold time period is greater than the period differential and/or variance and incremented when the time period is less than the period differential and/or variance. Such variation of the timeout setting is evaluated with each interrogation cycle of the RFID system.
摘要翻译：一种用于自适应地控制具有多个询问天线和RFID标签的射频识别（RFID）系统的方法。该方法包括以下步骤：建立指示每个询问天线在相应读周期期间为读磁场供电的时间的超时设置和指示在RFID标签与询问之间传送能量/交换数据所需的时间的阈值时间周期天线。然后计算出周期差异，其表示超时设置与各个读取区域内的最终RFID标签经过的时间之间的差异，以传达其RFID标签信息。然后可以根据周期差异自适应地调整或改变每个询问天线的超时设置。为了加速和/或改进自适应调谐特征，还可以计算表示阈值时间段和周期差值之间的差异的方差。当阈值时间段大于周期差和/或方差时，超时设置可以减小，并且当时间段小于周期差和/或方差时递增。通过RFID系统的每个询问周期来评估超时设置的这种变化。

摘要： A gap cover device for covering a gap between clothes washer and dryer appliances having generally parallel juxtaposed sidewalls defining a gap between the appliances. The gap cover device includes a flexible elongated member having a generally T-shaped transverse cross-sectional configuration defining a gap spanning portion of sufficient transverse width to span the gap between the appliances, and an insert arm portion disposed generally normal to an underside of the gap spanning portion and adapted to be inserted into the gap. The insert arm portion has outwardly facing side surfaces at least one of which has a magnetic strip carried thereon operative to releasably secure the gap cover device to a selected one of the appliances to prevent objects from falling into the gap.

摘要： A method for enhancing the accuracy a Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) system which may exhibit inconsistent RFID tag reporting behavior. The method includes the steps of (i) establishing a timeout setting indicative of the time that each interrogating antenna transmits RF energy within a respective read field, (ii) evaluating/comparing reporting results over multiple interrogation cycles to determine when an RFID tag exhibits inconsistent reporting behavior within the read field and (iii) increasing the timeout setting of the respective interrogating antenna to enhance the energy harvested by an RFID tag/device during each interrogation cycle. In lieu of, or in addition to, increasing the timeout setting, the method evaluates the responses received over multiple cycles and accepts such responses as being valid only when the same response is obtain over consecutive/sequential interrogation cycles. That is, the system evaluates the results of several cycles before accepting the validity or veracity of the response.
