Patent GB-2437649-A (GB)
Title: Initialising a computer cluster according to a license
Inventor: HOOVER DAVID J
IPC: G06F21/10
Filed: 2007-04-26
Abstract: A license for a computer cluster contains a bundle parameter that identifies characteristics of the cluster and one or more node parameters that identify characteristics of computing nodes. The bundle parameter may be a maximum or a minimum node count. The node parameters may identify compatible nodes. The cluster is initialised in a first node. It then adds nodes to the cluster until the number of nodes matches the bundle parameter. The cluster is then activated. If nodes are not compatible with the node parameters, a new node license may be obtained which is compatible with the node. The license information may be checked during the operation of the cluster. The license may be retrieved from an external license server.

Title: Container, storage tank and method of producing such a container
Inventor: MIZUNO HITOSHI
IPC: B22D39/06
Filed: 2005-02-21
Abstract: A container 1 is of a construction in which a heat insulating wall 8 is laid on the inner wall 7 of a frame main body 6 and an integral-type refractory storage tank 9 is removably inserted from an opening 5 in the frame main body 6 in the inner wall 7 of the heat insulating wall. As a result, it is possible to shorten the time required for drying and to prevent the lining in the container 1 from containing liquid. Particularly, if the heat insulating wall 8, refractory storage tank 9, etc., are parts which have already dried at the time of assembly, the drying process becomes unnecessary, making the time required for the production of the container 1 very short.

Title: Improvements in or relating to carburettors for internal combustion engines
IPC: F02M7/11
Filed: 1921-04-05
Abstract: 161,188. Stromberg Motor Devices Co., (Assignees of Mock, F. C., Gustafson, C. J., and Chandler, M. E.). April 5, 1920, [Convention date]. Fluid-actuated valves; rotary disc valves.-A barometrically-actuated valve for controlling the pressure in the float chamber of a carburettor is shown in Fig. 7, and comprises a sensitive device 153 enclosed in a casing 135 and at its upper end closed by a plate 136 to which is secured a plunger 137 sliding in a well 138. The plunger is loaded by a heavy spring 143 and against its base is forced by a light spring 177 the flanged end of a tubular extension of the needle valve 158, which has a V groove and coacts with a seat 161 in an adjustable tubular part 162 which is extended to form a sleeve 165 around the valve stem, Openings to atmosphere are provided at 152, 167, 166 and the top of the float chamber is connected to port 169. The flanges 170, 172 are rotatable and have notched edges to receive spring locking strips. With a decrease of air density or increase of temperature, the device 153 expands and closes the valve 158, thus cutting off the air supply to the float chamber, increasing the suction therein and reducing the fuel supply. Modified forms of valve in which the small end of the V groove is truncated or shouldered are also described. The pipe connecting the port 169 with the float chamber is provided with a manually actuated valve shown in Fig. 10, and comprising a base portion 181, Fig. 10, with ports 185, 187 leading respectively to the carburettor and barometric device and a cover portion 190 with port 191 leading to the float chamber. The valve plate 184 is ported at 200, 201 and rotates over a ported disc 183, the valve being forced against the disc by a spring 189<1> and rotated by a wheel 194 through spindle 193, jaws 197 thereon and a lug 198 on the valve plate. The port 201 is relatively wide to lengthen the period of communication between the barometric and float chamber connections. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) described also a form in which the sensitive device 116, Fig. 14 (Cancelled), is enclosed in a casing 93 supported on the cover of the float chamber, the interior of which communicates with the suction passage through a conduit 89 in which a valve 103 is located. The stem 104 of this valve is threaded into a sleeve 106 supported by a tubular part 107 in an extension 108 of the casing 93. The sleeve is forced against the part 107 by a spring 120 and the valve 103 may be adjusted relatively to the sleeve by a tool inserted through an aperture 124. The valve seat is in a flanged bush 96 provided with radial openings 101. The valve is actuated from the part 116 through a lever 111, but may be actuated manually by rotating, by lever 123, the part 107 which has an inclined slot 121 engaging a pin in the part 108. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
