Patent EP-0912952-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BAYER RUDOLF
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1997-08-20
Abstract: The invention concerns a database system and method of organizing a multidimensional data stock. The database system comprises a computing arrangement, a main memory and an in particular peripheral memory arrangement. In order to index and store the data stock present in a multidimensional cube on memory pages of the peripheral memory device with a given storage capacity, the multidimensional cube is divided iteratively in all dimensions into sub-cubes until successive sub-cubes can be combined to form regions each containing an amount of data objects which can be stored on one of the memory pages with a given storage capacity. The method according to the invention for organizing, inserting, deleting and searching for data objects is designed as a dynamic data structure known as an "FB tree", which improves access times and is therefore suitable for use in on-line applications.

Abstract: A nozzle for dispensing fluids with suspended solid particulates without experiencing permanent partial or total clogging is provided. The nozzle (40) is made from an elastomeric material and has a dome-shaped tip (48). The dome-shaped tip has a slit (42) that provides an elongated orifice which generates a fan-type spray pattern while allowing solid particulates to pass through the nozzle without permanent clogging. The slit is normally maintained closed at rest and provides precompression and shut-off functions. Several versions of the nozzle are described, such as a one-piece nozzle and a nozzle insert. Additionally, the nozzle can be attached to a manually actuated pump device and be used as a spray delivery system.

Abstract: Method and device for determining a signaling address of a mobile services switching center in a cellular communication system offering both circuit switched and packet switched services. The method is based on that, instead of using information on the location of a terminal equipment, information on the equipment of the system being used for reaching a terminal equipment is used for determining the mobile services switching center, in the service area of which the terminal equipment is located. The signaling address is determined on the basis of the knowledge of such information. For this purpose, for instance, allocation tables or sorting trees are used, which allocate the sought for signaling address to one or more equipment or to an information identifying one or more equipment.

The encoder has a memory for storing a default quantization matrix including a plurality of quantization elements having predetermined values. Also, a generator is provided for producing a particular quantization matrix after a number of frames. The particular quantization matrix is read in a predetermined zigzag pattern, and the reading is terminated at a selected position which is in the middle of the zigzag pattern. An end code is added after the read quantization elements of a former portion of the particular quantization matrix. The quantization elements in the default quantization matrix are read in the same zigzag pattern from a position immediately after the selected position, and producing a latter portion of the default quantization matrix. The former portion of the particular quantization matrix and the latter portion of the default quantization matrix are synthesized to form a synthesized quantization matrix.

Abstract: An improvement is disclosed in a puzzle of the type including a rectangular base piece, a raised rectangular frame surrounding the sides of the base piece and defining therewith a recessed platform; and a plurality of rectangular flattened pieces which are positionable on said platform within said frame, and of dimensions and number when so positioned in mutual lateral contact as to provide a single rectangular void space among the pieces; the flattened pieces being slidable on the plane of the platform subject to lateral restraint by one another; and the object of the puzzle being to proceed from a designated starting configuration of the flattened pieces, and interchange the respective initial positions of designated of the flattened pieces by successive sliding movements of pieces into and out of the said void space. According to the improvement, the flattened pieces are slidingly interengaged with adjacent such pieces, and the frame and pieces adjacent thereto are slidingly interengaged, whereby the said pieces may be interslid in the plane of said platform on which they are disposed in an effort to solve the puzzle, while maintaining integrity of the entire puzzle and precluding removal of the pieces from the plane. The frame and base piece are interlocked by structures which are manually actuatable by the user of the puzzle to enable separation and subsequent reassembly of the base piece and frame; whereby the user upon concluding that the movements of the flattened pieces to a then arrived at configuration will not enable solution of the puzzle, may disengage the base and frame, restore the flattened pieces to their starting configuration, and then reassemble the frame and base piece, thereby enabling restarting of his or her efforts to solve the puzzle.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving heating system efficiency. An electronic circuit senses a firing signal from a boiler energy value sensor (26) such as a thermostat or pressuretrol. The circuit prevents the boiler energy value sensor from firing the burner, while the circuit senses an energy value of the outflow line (20) at the boiler (6). The circuit monitors the outflow energy value and records the outflow energy value at a first time of the firing signal. The circuit then continually monitors the outflow energy until it detects an energy drop from the initial outflow energy value. The circuit responds to the energy drop by firing the burner (10). The invention self-adaptively responds to present thermal load, reduces the number of on-off cycles, increases each burner run time while reducing total run time, improves fuel consumption, and reduces air pollution.

Abstract: It is a known fact that a hydraulic unit in a motor vehicle braking system can be elastically suspended by using at least two hollow cylindrical rubber-elastic elements, into which pins jutting out from the hydraulic unit protrude, wherein the pins are directed in a substantially horizontal manner and the rubber-elastic elements are inserted into lower partial bearing cups and are inhibited by upper partial bearing cups at the exit from the lower partial bearing cups. In order to facilitate assembly, the invention provides that the upper partial bearing cups (8) are configured in such a way that they can be assembled from above in a substantially radial position with respect to the rubber-elastic elements (13). In order to provide secure positioning, a bracket (32) runs, for instance, from the upper partial bearing cup (8), and grasps the lower bearing cup by pivoting underneath it to solidly encircle the rubber-elastic element (13).

Abstract: The present invention relates to N-alkylpiperidine
derivatives represented by general formula (1) or (2);
 
wherein R 1  represents optionally fluorinated lower alkyl; R 2 
represents lower alkyl; and R 3  represents alkenyl substituted
at the 1-position with hydroxy, lower alkoxy, lower
alkoxyalkyloxy, lower alkoxyalkyloxyalkyloxy, or lower
alkanoyloxy and substituted at the end with radioactive
iodine, or alkenyloxymethyl substituted at the end with a
radioactive iodine reagent containing the same for assaying
central local AchE activity; a method for assaying the
central local AchE activity; and labeled precursors of the
above compounds. After easily passing through the blood-brain
barrier, these compounds are hydrolyzed specifically by
AchE in the brain into alcohols, which are then captured by
the brain. In contrast, alcohols formed outside the brain do
not migrate into the brain. The compounds of the invention
emit γ-rays at an appropriate energy level. These
characteristics make the compounds highly useful as tracers 
for SPECT in assaying the central AchE activity.
