International Classification:

G06F 15/177

US Classification:

709220000

Abstract:

A system, method and computer readable medium is provided for automatically configuring at least one un-configured data collection terminal (DCT) interfaced to a network utilizing TCP/IP protocol. The network may include a plurality of devices, including at least one client or server. The system and method includes determining the presence of a DHCP server; obtaining an IP address utilizing DHCP protocol if a DHCP is confirmed in communication with the network; allocating an IP address in a link-local addressing range if it is confirmed a DHCP is not in communication with the network; broadcasting data indicative of a presence on the network to the at least one client or server; initiating a browsing sequence in which the at least one DCT or the at least one client or server, sends a query to all connected devices on the subnet requesting a list of all devices that match a service type/protocol name and domain that the at least one DCT is adapted to communicate therewith; and the at least one DCT, or the at least one client or server, receiving responses from devices on the subnet in which the response includes each device's qualified name.

Filed:

Mar 5, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/027577

Inventors:

Anthony J. Pellegrino - New Fairfield CT
Robert H. Brady - Brookfield CT
David D. Camarra - Fairfield CT

Assignee:

Lorad Corporation - Danbury CT

International Classification:

H05G 128

US Classification:

378166

Abstract:

An identification labeling unit for applying identifying data to a sheet of X-ray film enclosed in a film cassette has data input means and a cassette insertion slot extending into the interior of its housing; a data display device, such as a vacuum fluorescent data display screen, defines an object plane inside the housing, and an optical system delivers an image of the data display screen focussed at an image plane within the cavity slot. When the X-ray film-enclosing cassette is fully inserted into the insertion slot, with a corner window hatchcover on the cassette being automatically opened by the cassette's insertion into the cavity slot, the corner of the X-ray film receives the focussed labeling data image from the optical system.

International Classification:

H04M 342
H04M 156

US Classification:

379142

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for verifying that a CAS (Customer Premises Equipment Alerting Signal) detect signal, which indicates the presence of a CAS on a transmission channel, is a valid detect signal, includes structure and process steps for suppressing a signal originating at a local telephone in response to the CAS detect signal. A determination is made whether the CAS detect signal remains in a predetermined condition at a predetermined time after the local telephone signal is suppressed. A validity signal is output when the CAS detect signal remains in the predetermined condition at the predetermined time. False detections are thereby minimized by ignoring detections caused by a signal originating at the local telephone.

International Classification:

G06K 7/10

US Classification:

295921

Abstract:

A method for manufacturing laser scanners is provided. Laser scanners are configured to drive their light-deflecting assemblies at a fixed drive frequency. By selecting for inclusion in the laser scanners only those light-deflecting assemblies that have resonant oscillation frequencies falling within a specified range, operation of the laser scanners remains within engineering tolerances even through extreme environmental changes. Moreover, the method results in laser scanner having greater unit-to-unit consistency during operation even in extreme environments.
