IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1989-06-07
Abstract: A method is disclosed for interpreting dynamically 
generated variable data for insertion within a structured 
data stream or for use in processing such a data stream. 
Structured data streams typically include a plurality of 
components, each component having multiple parameters 
therein. A trigger element, such as a flag within the 
data stream is utilized to provide an initial link or 
reference to one of a plurality of variable construct 
definitions which includes a reference to at least one 
other variable construct definition. The variable data 
dynamically generated by the referenced variable construct 
definitions is then utilized in combination for insertion 
into the data stream, or for use in processing a portion 
of the data stream. As a result of the utilization of 
variable construct definitions, the variable data may be 
easily modified by a receiver by the utilization of that 
definition. In this manner, complex variable data 
expressions may be dynamically compiled or generated by 
reference to a plurality of variable construct definitions 
from a non-variable construct within the data stream.

Title: Method for producing expandable thermoplastic polymer particles
IPC: C08F259/02
Filed: 1990-04-27
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing 
expandable thermoplastic polymer particles which comprises 
conducting polymerization by adding a polymerizable monomer 
either continuously or intermittently to thermoplastic 
polymer particles having a uniform particle size suspended 
in water,characterized in that an amide compound is added 
when the added amount of the polymerizable monomer is not 
more than one half of the total amount to be added in the 
course of polymerization and resulting polymer particles 
are impregnated with an easily volatile blowing agent after 
completion of addition of the amide compound and the polymerizable 
monomer. According to the present invention, expandable thermoplastic particles 
which are capable of giving cells, fine and uniform in size, 
are obtainable even by expanding immediately after 
production without any aging period.

Title: Method and device for determining the time between start and finish of athletes or suchlike
IPC: G07C1/24
Filed: 1990-06-08
Abstract: In order to determine the time between the start and finish of competitors or racers (7), riders, racing cars, vehicles or the like, provision is made of a recording or video camera (3) having a reproduction unit (8, 9) for stills and preferably having a    monitor (2), in addition a timer (10) or time generator which during the operation of the camera fades the concurrently running time initiated by a start pulse, for example by a start pistol, starting light barrier or the like, into respectively the individual pictures supplied thereby and indicates from still to still the respective time of the taking of the individual picture. Furthermore, in this arrangement a finishing light barrier (6) is arranged in correspondence with the finishing line (5), and the recording camera delivers its stills in a fixed time interval of preferably two or four hundredths of a second, and is likewise set up in alignment with the finishing line (5). In this arrangement, the transmission pulse of the camera (3) for a picture signal to the video recorder (8) is simultaneously used for the purpose of driving the time generator (10), so that the latter is caused to fade the time respectively present in it at the instant of a picture being taken into this picture, produced at that time, it being the case that, in order to take account of a possible displacement of the production of the picture to a time that is accurate, for example, to a hundredth of a second, the faded-in time is measured and displayed at least one order of magnitude more finely or more precisely than the smallest time unit to be measured, that is to say to a thousandth of a second in the case of the abovementioned example of a time unit which must be measured precisely to a hundredth of a second.

Abstract: A slave station (12), such as an orbiting satellite, and a master station (16), such as a ground control station, have their own lists of identical random pads (80,78). When the master station sends a critical command to the slave station, a selected one of the pads (86) is combined with the command and transmitted to the slave station as a data communication message (89). Each pad is used only once. The slave station evaluates the received pad value using its version of the same selected pad. If the evaluation detects correspondence, then the command is authenticated and the slave station acts upon the command. The random pads are generated (154) by the slave station. They are encrypted (160) using an asymmetric encryption process and transmitted (166) to the master station so that the master and slave stations will operate on common sets of pads. <IMAGE>

Title: Improved current limiting fuse and dropout fuseholder.
Inventor: HASSLER STEPHEN PAUL
IPC: H01H85/10
Filed: 1994-12-14
Abstract: A current-limiting dropout fuseholder includes multiple current paths through the fuse body. A primary current path includes a high current fusible element. A secondary current path in parallel with the primary path includes a triggering conductor that extends outside the fuse body and is connected so a moveable support. The second current path further includes a first spark gap for severing the triggering conductor upon the occurrence of a fault and the shifting of the fault current from the primary current path to the second current path. A second spark gap formed between the primary and the second current paths ensures that the fault current flows across the first spark gap for a time sufficient to sever the triggering conductor, thereby ensuring that dropout will occur. <IMAGE>
