Filed:

Nov 23, 1994

Appl. No.:

8/344549

Inventors:

Thomas M. Ogletree - Austin TX
Michael J. Dougherty - Houston TX

Assignee:

Compaq Computer Corporation - Houston TX

International Classification:

G06K 1500

US Classification:

395109

Abstract:

A method processes a plurality of bits stored in a first memory and representing an image to be printed by reproducing the bits in a fast scan direction. The method includes the step of reading a plurality of groups from the first memory into a second memory, wherein each of the groups comprises a number of bits greater than one bit and is stored in the second memory in the fast scan direction, and wherein each group is read one group at a time. Further, the method includes copying a predetermined number of bits from each of the plurality of groups to a sample storage area. After the copying step, the method samples the bits of the copied groups wherein the sampled bits form a pattern having a center bit having a binary state. Finally, after the sampling step, the method outputs a print signal representative of the binary state if the pattern does not match a predetermined pattern, or outputs a print signal different than the binary state if the pattern matches a predetermined pattern.

International Classification:

E04D 5/10
E04D 5/02
E04D 5/06

Abstract:

This invention, in embodiments, relates to a roll comprising a roofing material. The roofing material includes a substrate having a first side and a second side, and a film layer attached to at least one of the first side or the second side of the substrate, the film layer comprising a polymer and having a thickness of 0.5 mils to 100 mils. A single layer of the roofing material achieves a Class A rating for steep slope roofing systems when tested according to UL 790 and/or ASTM E-108 Standard Test Methods for Fire Tests of Roof Coverings. This invention, in embodiments, further relates to a roofing material and a steep slope roofing system.

Abstract:

Disclosed herein is a bioreactor system that allows active perfusive flow through a porous support medium enabling 3D growth of biological samples. In some embodiments, the system comprises a sample well filled with a three-dimensional (3D) cell growth medium. The system can further comprise a liquid medium reservoir fluidly connected to the sample well by a first filter material. The system can further comprises a medium collection chamber fluidly connected to the sample well by a second filter material. In some embodiments, application of negative gage pressure to the medium collection chamber or positive pressure to the liquid medium reservoir draws fluid from the liquid medium reservoir, through the first filter material, into the sample well where it permeates the three-dimensional cell growth medium, through the second filter material, and finally into the medium collection chamber.
