Title: Digital decoupling
Inventor: ZEIER ALEXANDER
IPC: G06F8/65
Filed: 2020-08-12
Granted: 2023-02-02
Abstract: This document described digital decoupling architectures that enable existing computing systems to run in parallel with new computing technologies. In some aspects, a method includes receiving, by a digital decoupling system and from a source computing system, one or more updated data sets that each include data that has been updated at the source computing system. A source data entry of a source table of a database of the digital decoupling system is updated based on each updated data set. In response to detecting the change to the source table, a target data entry that includes data of the updated source data entry is added to a target table of the database. An adapter module obtains the data of the target data entry and generates an event that specifies the data of the target data entry. The event is sent to one or more destination computing elements.

Filed: 2022-05-04
Granted: 2023-10-19
Abstract: An exemplary noise-reducing mechanism for door hardware includes a housing, a damper, 
and a stop. The door hardware includes a first component and a second component, and an 
operational movement of the door hardware causes relative movement of the first and second 
components. The housing is mounted to the first component, and the damper is mounted to 
the housing. The stop is mounted to the second component such that the stop engages the 
damper during the operational movement. The damper is configured to slow the operational 
movement, thereby reducing noise generated by operation of the door hardware.

Filed: 2000-05-22
Granted: 2011-09-07
Abstract: Both the optical distance of the detected -light light path and the optical distance of the reference-light light path are simultaneously varied according to respective specified patterns, so that differences are created between the period of variation in the intensity of the required signal component (in the interference signals) and the periods of variation in the intensities of the coherent noise components. When the modulation scanning procedure is performed, the phase difference between the detected light and reference light in a specified state is determined as shape information for the above-mentioned detected surface on the basis of the interference signals output from the light-receiving element. As a result, it is possible to securely reduce the effects of coherent noise components generated as a result of the interference of specified noise light that has passed through at least portions of the detected-light light path and reference-light light path with the detected light or reference light. <IMAGE>

IPC: H03M1/18
Filed: 1999-08-19
Granted: 2009-11-11
Abstract: The demand on very high resolution A/D converter can be eliminated by using the invented floating-point A/D converter when the resolution is merely used for covering the signal dynamic range rather than the quantization accuracy. This can be achieved by producing m amplified analog signals with amplifications 2(i-1)k where k=constant and i=1, 2, . . . m. The largest linearly amplified signal will be selected by a logic circuit (after sampling) and converted into an n-bit digital data code by an A/D converter. In the same time, the logic circuit produces an m-bit logic flag code. The n-bit data code (u), the m-bit logic flag code (v) and the constant k are combined to form a final digital output uvk with n+(m-1)k bits. In this way, the resolution and dynamic range can be designed independently. Unlike the know logarithmic amplifier solution, the floating-point A/D converter give a linear digital code output directly without using any look-up table. For large and small signals, the effective resolutions are kept constant (or quasi-constant to be accurate). It is also very useful to work with a small input range imposed by a low power supply voltage since its virtual input range is much larger than the actual one. As an A/D converter, its accuracy distribution along the signal amplitude is more rational, an advantage similar to that of a floating-point number representation.

IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2000-03-09
Granted: 2009-06-17
Abstract: The invention is directed to an expandable stent for implantation in a body lumen, such as an artery. The stent consists of an elongated stent body formed with a central section positioned between a proximal end section and a distal end section, the central section having different expansion characteristics than at least one of the end sections. The end sections of the stent are configured to have greater resistance to radial expansion than the corresponding central section such that, when deployed with a balloon catheter device, the central section of the stent expands to an enlarged final diameter to contact the interior walls of the body lumen before or simultaneously with the end sections. The size and the shape of the U-shaped structures control the expansion characteristics of the respective cylindrical elements. The U-shaped structures which are designed to be more resistant to circumferential deformation are used to form cylindrical elements that have a greater resistance to radial expansion. The cylindrical elements are arranged strategically along the axial length of the stent to form stent sections which cooperate to control radial expansion.

Abstract: A video is first partitioned into video objects. If the video is uncompressed, then the partitioning is done with segmentation planes. In the case where the video is compressed, a demultiplexer is used for the partitioning. Over time, shape features are extracted from each partitioned object. The extracted shape features are combined to determine a temporal resolution for each object over time. The temporal resolutions are subsequently used to encode or transcode the various video objects as an output compressed video. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides a printer (1) that enables required data, such as a remaining quantity of each ink (Jn+1), to be written securely even when a storage device having a relatively low allowable frequency of rewriting is applied for a storage element (80) mounted on an ink cartridge (107K, 107F). The present invention also provides an ink cartridge (107K, 107F) that is detachably attached to the printer (1). In the printer (1) of the present invention, a sequential access-type EEPROM having a relatively low allowable frequency of rewriting is applied for storage elements (80) incorporated in both a black ink cartridge (107K) and a color ink cartridge (107F). A print controller (40) in the printer (1) has a memory, for which an EEPROM (or a DRAM) is applicable. Data relating to each ink cartridge (107K, 107F), are stored into both the EEPROM (90) of the print controller (40) and a memory cell (81) included in the storage element (80) of the ink cartridge. The writing operation of data into the EEPROM (90) of the print controller (40) is carried out at every time the remaining quantity of each ink is calculated, whereas the writing operation into the memory cell (81) in the storage element (80) of the ink cartridge (107K, 107F) is carried out restrictedly in response to a power down instruction. This arrangement causes the frequency of writing into the storage element (80) of the ink cartridge (107K, 107F) to be lower than the frequency of writing into the EEPROM (90) of the print controller (40). This accordingly fulfills the requirements, that is, the sufficient reliability of data and the restriction of the allowable frequency of rewriting.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for cleaning a catheter tube (34). The distal end portion (36) of the tube has a distal opening (38) and at least one side opening (40) adjacent to the distal opening. The distal end of the tube is disposed in a closed chamber (62) with the distal opening generally opposite from a first orifice defined in the chamber. A liquid is introduced into the chamber and is drawn into the distal opening in the tube, for example by a suction force. A different fluid medium, such as air, is drawn through the first orifice and into the distal opening in the tube. A turbulent flow path is established with the fluid medium wherein the medium is drawn through the first orifice, into the distal opening in the tube, out the side opening in the tube, and back into the distal opening in the tube. This turbulent flow path enhances the cleaning action of the liquid introduced into the chamber for cleaning the distal end portion of the tube within the chamber.
