IPC: H04N5/44

Abstract: A receiver for a layered transmission scheme is disclosed in which
different data (400A,400B) is transmitted in the same frequency band
from separate incoherent transmitters possibly located at different
locations, such as two different satellites. QAM is considered.
The transmission scheme permits a backward compatible upgrade of an existing
system. The different data streams (400A,400B) are transmitted at
different power levels, that is power division multiplexing is used. The
receiver at first demodulates (512) and decodes (514) the stronger upper
layer signal, and outputs it. Also, similar to a multistage receiver
which performs successive cancelation, an ideal upper layer signal is
reconstructed (516,518) and subtracted (538) from the sum signal, in
order to obtain the weaker lower layer signal. Then, the lower layer
signal is demodulated and decoded (540,546). Non-linearities of the
power amplifiers are taken into account in reconstruction of the ideal
upper layer signal by applying signal maps (524,528).

     The first unit (1) forms a small table, or desk, whose shelf (6) can be manually
actuated (rotated) by the user. 
     The unit (1) acts as a "pump", thereby driving the second unit (2) by means of a
hydraulic conduit (3); the second unit acts as a hydraulic motor, which rotates its
own shelf (6). The hydraulic fluid flows through a return duct (4) and reaches again
the first unit (1) of the furniture set.

Abstract: An object is to prevent a magnetic storage apparatus from
having troubles by improving resistance to electromigration of
a magnetic storage apparatus using ferromagnetic tunnel junction
devices. 
     In the present invention, the magnetic storage apparatus
using ferromagnetic tunnel junction devices is constituted by
forming the ferromagnetic tunnel junction device by laminating
a fixed magnetization layer and a free magnetization layer on
a top and back surfaces of a tunnel barrier layer, respectively,
wiring word lines in the magnetization direction of the fixed
magnetization layer of the ferromagnetic tunnel junction device,
and wiring bit lines in the orthogonal direction to the
magnetization direction of the fixed magnetization layer of the
ferromagnetic tunnel junction device, wherein two different memory
states can be wrote in the ferromagnetic tunnel junction device
by inverting the direction of the current flowing through the
bit lines. At the time of writing in the ferromagnetic tunnel
junction device, the direction of the current flowing through
the word line is inverted in the same direction as or the opposite
direction to the magnetization direction of the fixed
magnetization layer.

Abstract: L'invention a trait à des procédés permettant de fournir un élément de donnée à une transaction, dans un système de multi-versionnage où l'élément de donnée peut exister sur de multiples versions d'un bloc de données, et où le versionnage est réalisé au niveau de granularité du bloc de données. Selon un aspect de l'invention, le procédé consiste à localiser, dans une mémoire volatile, une première version d'un bloc de données comprenant une première version de l'élément de donnée. On détermine ensuite si la première version de l'élément de donnée est utilisable par la transaction, que l'ensemble de la première version du bloc de données soit utilisable par la transaction ou non. Si la première version de l'élément de données est utilisable par la transaction, l'élément de données est désigné comme étant un candidat pouvant être fourni à la transaction. Ainsi, l'élément de donnée faisant partie d'un bloc peut être considéré comme un candidat pour une transaction, et ce même lorsque la version du bloc contenant l'élément de donnée rend par ailleurs le bloc de données invisible pour ladite transaction. Si la première version de l'élément de donnée n'est pas utilisable par la transaction, une version de l'élément de donnée utilisable par cette dernière est obtenue à partir d'une seconde version du bloc de données, différente de la première.

Abstract: A dry pump apparatus comprises; a pumping mechanism, a controller for controlling the operation of the pumping mechanism, and a sensor for sensing the operating temperature of the pumping mechanism. The controller is configured to carry out an automated shutdown sequence involving the following steps; a) ceasing operation of the pumping mechanism b) monitoring the temperature of the pumping mechanism by means of the temperature sensor c) at least one pre-selected temperature interval, initiating operation of the pumping mechanism for a fixed time period so as to purge a proportion of contaminant particulate matter present until a predefined temperature is reached or a predefined time limit has passed. By carrying out these steps the incidence of powder compaction between component parts of the apparatus which may contract during shutdown, and consequential restart failure and down time, can be significantly reduced.
