Abstract: The system and method of the present invention provides peripheral
awareness of information to a user. The information to be provided is either
determined automatically, or specified by the user. Once the information to be
provided is determined or specified, it is automatically tracked or watched via at
least one conventional communications interface for accessing one or more
conventional communications sources. Current information is then automatically
dynamically provided in an interactive peripheral display which minimizes any
potential distraction to the user. Determining or specifying, tracking or watching,
and providing the information is accomplished using at least one customizable
dynamic encapsulated object, a "ticket," that when paired with a "viewer,"
provides peripheral awareness of information to the user. Further, in one
embodiment, the tickets are sharable among users, and may be copied, cut,
pasted, saved, transmitted, dragged and dropped from web pages, etc., like any
other electronic file using conventional techniques.

Abstract: A semiconductor device is disclosed in which
consumption of power attendant on a leakage current in a
block (2) where the power is turned on and off
intermittently is reduced. In the semiconductor device
according to the present invention, an error check
necessity judgment circuit (4) judges on notification from
an error check necessity notification circuit (6) located
in a block (2) where the power is not disconnected whether
an error check must be made, and an error check execution
circuit (5) makes an error check on data loaded from an
external memory at the time of a boot in accordance with
the judgment of the error check necessity judgment circuit
(4). An error check cannot completely be omitted.
Therefore, to ensure the reliability of a system, an error
check is forcedly made once whenever a boot is performed a
number of times set by an error check interval setting
circuit (7). This shortens intermittent operation time by
time taken to make an error check, resulting in a
reduction in consumption of power attendant on a useless
leakage current.

Title: Soufflante centrifuge compacte   stator annulaire
Inventor: CHAPMAN THOMAS
IPC: F04D29/28
Filed: 2002-03-05
Abstract: La présente invention se caractérise par une architecture très compacte de l'ensemble soufflante, conçue pour fonctionner avec un nombre de Reynolds faible. L'ensemble comporte un rotor dont les pales sont incurvées vers l'avant et dont la forme du moyeu est conçue pour minimiser l'encombrement sous carter de l'ensemble. Le rotor est animé par un moteur à balais, basse tension, courant continu. Une pièce de carénage constitue, d'une part une entrée de forme généralement cylindrique dirigeant l'air sur le rotor, et d'autre part une flasque de renvoi qui convertit de radial et tangentiel en axial et tangentiel le flux d'air quittant le rotor. Cette pièce de carénage envoie l'air dans un étage unique de lames de stator, ce qui réduit la composante tangentielle de la vélocité de l'air, tout en provoquant une augmentation de la pression statique.
