Patent EP-0841617-A3 (EP)
Inventor: CHANEY KENNETH
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 1997-07-03
Abstract: The space of a buffer 201 is logically partitioned into space reserved
for requests only, space reserved for responses only, and space that can be
used for either requests or responses, i.e., dynamically usable as needed by
the system. An arbiter 301 uses three registers to keep track of the
request buffer space 302, the response buffer space 303 and the dynamic
space 304. The arbiter compares each of the registers with a
corresponding limit 307, 308, and 309, to determine if a request packet or
a response packet should be sent to the buffer. The limits are set by
software and define the maximum number of request products, response
packets, and total number of packets the buffer can hold. For example, the
limit may be set to eight requests, eight responses and ten total. Thus two
spaces are reserved for requests and two spaces are reserved for responses,
and six are dynamically usable.

Abstract: To be able to receive a laser beam having a predetermined intensity even if lengths
of optical fibers (22) differ, a laser beam transmitted from a counterpart of communication
is received by a photodiode, an electric signal produced thereby is amplified by an
amplifying unit and thereafter, a peak value of the signal is detected by a peak hold unit, a
differential amplifying unit calculates a difference between an output signal from the peak
hold unit and a reference level (Rx. Ref), forms a control signal based on the difference
and outputs it to APC via a selector, APC controls an LD drive unit in accordance with an
output from a photodiode where a portion of a laser beam emitted from LD is incident and
the signal outputted from the differential amplifying unit, and the LD drive unit amplifies
transmitted data (Tx. Data) in accordance with a signal outputted from APC thereby
driving LD.

Abstract: A slider of a slide fastener is free from any damage
that may arise when a lug (4) is deformed and springs back
and an upper wing (1) is protected against undesired
deformation. A pair of rear lateral legs (4b, 4b) project
downward from the lug (4). A gap (D) is defined between the
rear lateral legs (4b, 4b) and the upper wing (1). One or
more longitudinal ribs(4d) are formed on the lower surface
of the lug (4). If excessively pinching force is applied
to the lug (4) to close the gap (D), the upper wing is kept
free from any local deformation because the rear lateral
legs (4b) absorb the excessive force. Also, if the lug (4)
springs back, because the rear lateral legs (4b) restore
their original positions, they are held in close contact
with the upper wing.

Abstract: In a dual chamber implantable pacemaker, the peak
amplitude of the atrial intrinsic signals are monitored and used to generate
a short term and a long term indicia indicative of the intrinsic signals'
variability and deviation from normal sinus rhythm peak amplitudes. The
two indicia are combined to generate a single indicia which is then used to
categorize the state of the atrium as one of several conditions such as
flutter/flubber, coarse atrial fibrillation or fine atrial fibrillation. The
categorization is used by a microcontroller for generating the proper
pacing pulses and may also be used as a criteria for mode switching
between a first mode wherein synchrony between the atrium and ventricle
is maintained and a second mode pacing is performed at a fixed rate or
one determined by the metabolic indicator.

Abstract: A type of switching fabric for exchanging variable-size frames of digital
information between frame processors coupled directly or indirectly to one or
more digital communication lines. It comprises one or more multi-line serial
communication controllers (MSCCs), and a backplane providing a full mesh of
serial point-to-point bi-directional links between each MSCC, and, in a loopback,
from each MSCC back to itself. The MSCCs collectively manage the transfer of
variable-size frames between the frame processors. To transfer digital information
from a source line to a destination line, a frame processor coupled to the ingress line
drives the switching fabric by signaling its MSCC that there is information. The
ingress MSCC then switches the digital information through the backplane to the
MSCC serving the frame processor coupled to the egress line. The switching fabric
uses a clocking scheme that makes possible high throughput rates.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of integration of
applications said applications being executed by computer
systems. In an additional focus the current invention improves
the integration of applications within workflow management
systems (WFMS). 
     The basic approach of the current invention to this problem
are the features of input container materialization programs
and output container dematerialization programs. These
materialization programs are executed for an input container
before said input container is passed to a process activity;
their purpose is to perform materialization of said input
container by retrieving its data members' contents from
arbitrary storage areas and/or by manipulating said data-member's
contents. The de-materialization programs are
executed after a process activity completed execution; their
purpose is to perform de-materialization of said output
container by manipulating its data-members' contents and/or
storing its data members' contents to arbitrary storage areas.
This technique supports a clear separation of the business
logic implemented within the activities and their operational
data. For instance reduced data replication and reduced
program changes for application integration is the result.
Moreover intelligibility of the program design is
significantly improved.

   A through hole (10) is formed in each rotor blade (2) in a
generally thickness direction of the blade (2) so that the
through holes (10) in combination define a single annular passage
near a rotor surface (6) when all of the rotor blades (2) are

force generated upon operation of the axial turbine. 
Friction contact between the wire (11) and the through holes (10)

Abstract: An isolation component for vibratory equipment such as a
vibratory trough or feeder includes an isolation spring for supporting the dynamic
load of the equipment, and a damper element, preferably an elastomeric ring (54),
arranged against an end of the isolation spring (56). The damper element prevents
excessive motion of the isolation spring due to the vibratory equipment's
operating frequency being close to any of the natural frequencies of the bending
mode of the isolation spring (56) by applying an opposing load to any such motion.
The damper element is preferably an elastomer ring (54) and is arranged along an axis
of the support spring (56). A connector extends from a first end of the isolation
spring, adjacent the damper element, toward and past a second end of the
isolation spring and is connected to the vibratory equipment. The second end of
the isolation spring is supported by a housing (50,52) supported by external structure
such that the weight and dynamic load of the equipment compresses and expands
the isolation spring, and excessive expansion of the support spring (56) acts on
damper element which is braced against the housing (50,52).
