Patent EP-0749072-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HORST ROBERT W
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1996-06-05
Abstract: A data communicating device, having a number of inputs whereat data is received for communication from one of a number of outputs of the device, includes apparatus for providing two levels of arbitration to select one of the inputs for data communication to an output. The first (lower) level of arbitration bases selection upon a round-robin order; the second (higher) arbitration level selects inputs based upon an indication from an input of an undue wait for access to the output over a period of time. Each input is provided a modulo-N counter, and a digital counter. Each time an input contends for access to an output and loses to selection by the output to another input, the modulo-N counter is incremented by an assigned value for that input. When N is exceed without access, the digital counter is incremented. The content of the counter operates to force the high-level arbitration.

Abstract: A VOC (volatile organic compounds) adsorbent material such as an alumino-silicate gel desiccant (10) is treated with a masking agent (13) to reduce its affinity for VOC's to a level that the material can be regenerated at a predetermined low temperature which will not desorb the masking agent (13). The treated adsorbent material is used to adsorb VOC's and is periodically regenerated with heated air. The treated adsorbent material (10) may be used to adsorb VOC's from recirculated spray booth air while spraying a coating on a workpiece (18). Subsequent to spraying, the spray booth air is heated to above the VOC regeneration temperature to regenerate the absorbent material (10) and optionally to cure the applied coating. As the heated spray booth air is circulated through the adsorbent material (10), the previously adsorbed VOC's are desorbed. The desorbed VOC's may be destroyed by oxidizing, for example, with a catalyst (30).

Abstract: A polyol ester or poly-alkylene glycol lubricant is tagged by adding to the lubricant a chemical marker which is stable over the temperature cycling range of a refrigerant. 
     In testing for the presence of the marker, a sample of a lubricant is obtained, and the sample is diluted in a sufficient volume of an organic solvent such that subsequent admixture with an aqueous solution will not result in emulsification. The diluted sample is extracted with an aqueous solution appropriate for the marker. Simultaneous with or subsequent to extraction, a chromophoric reaction of the marker is induced, whereby a readily identifiable color is observable.

Abstract: A multi-threaded processing system has a cache that is commonly accessible to each thread. The cache has a plurality of entries (201) for storing items, each entry being identified by an entry number. The location in the cache of an item that includes a first key (203) is determined by supplying the first key to a lockless-lookup engine which then provides a lookup output that is alternatively a lookup entry number or an indication that the item is not stored in the cache. 
The lookup entry number is alternatively a first or second entry number, wherein the first entry number points to a first entry in which the item is stored and the second entry number points to a second entry in which the item is not stored. If the lookup output is the lookup entry number, then it is verified that the lookup entry number is the first entry number. This verification includes acquiring a mutual exclusion lock on the entry designated by the lookup entry number, using the lookup entry number to read a stored key from the cache. and comparing the first key with the stored key. If the two keys match, then the item has been located. Other aspects of the invention address the situations where the two keys do not match, or where the lookup output is the indication that the item is not stored in the cache.

Abstract: A system for exerting a force, for instance a vertical upward lifting force of a predetermined tension vs. time waveform on a suspended object is useful in training the operators of shoulder-supported rocket launchers. The system includes an actuator for generating a required tensile force, a non-stretchable line or cable for connecting the object to the actuator and an overhead guide supported on an overhead support structure. The cable passes over the guide means defining a portion of the cable directly supporting the object. The position of the guide is controlled, in a response to a deviation from verticality of the portion of the cable with suspended object, before the activation of the actuator so that the verticality of the object lifting force is maintained. In operation, a predetermined force is exerted on the object regardless of whether the object moves as a result of the force.

Abstract: Improved plasma displays utilize permanent magnet components for low-voltage operation. Permanent magnet components providing magnetic fields transverse to the direction of electron movement increase the electron pathlength, thereby enhancing the ionization efficiency of the electrons. This permits lower voltage operation, higher-pixel density and greater durability. In exemplary embodiments, magnetic components can be placed below the cathode, disposed between the electrodes, or incorporated in the cathode.

Abstract: A porous film is obtainable by uniaxially or biaxially stretching a film formed from a resin composition containing 25 to 70 parts by weight of a polyolefin resin and 75 to 30 parts by weight of an inorganic filler, the composition further containing 0.5 to 10 parts by weight of dehydrated castor oil (a) and 0.01 to 5 parts by weight of hardened castor oil (b) based on the total 100 parts by weight of the polyolefin resin and the inorganic filler; and the amount of the component (a) being 20 to 95% by weight based on the total amount of the components (a) and (b). 
     The resulting porous film has the softness and feel like cloth, good moisture vapor transmission and good uniformity of film thickness. Furthermore, adhesive strength e.g. of the bond between a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape to the film does not deteriorate, because the oil components (a) and (b) do not migrate to the surface of the porous film, so it can be used as materials of articles such as disposable diapers fixable and attachable by adhesive securing tapes.

Abstract: An improved error detection and error concealment for Viterbi decoding of convolutionally encoded data is provided. The most sensitive part of the data is parity encoded and sent with parity and this data with the next most sensitive data are convolutionally encoded and sent with the least sensitive data over a transmission channel to a receiver. At the receiver the convolutionally encoded data is decoded using the Viterbi algorithm. The decoder compares the parity computed from decoded data with the decoded parity and if they are not equal generates a Bad Frame Indicator (BFI) flag and also determines which decoded parameters are likely bad and hence generates a Bad Parameter Indicator (BPI) flag for those parameters, by determining the confidence levels for the parameters and comparing against pre-selected thresholds. The decision to discard a decoded parameter is dependent on the BFI flag and the BPI flag of that parameter.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for
compensating for offset and gain drift in a fast scan direction during an
image forming process. To achieve compensation, the present invention
samples a plurality of permanently darkened pixels upon powering up
image sensors and circuitry therefor and during a sub-scanning process of
an image and feeds this information into an offset value generating circuit.
The offset generating circuit continually adjusts a pixel offset voltage
according to a difference between sequential samples of the permanently
darkened pixel, thereby compensating for fast scan offset drift. The
present invention also samples a plurality of active pixels during a scanning
of a calibration strip. From this scan, a gain corrective value is calculated.
The present invention then samples active pixels during a scanning of a
platen background. In response to this sampling, the gain corrective value
is continually adjusted according to a difference between sequential
samples of the platen background, thereby compensating for fast scan gain
drift. The present invention can also compensate and balance transfer
functions for a plurality of communication channels in a multi-channel
system by using the same target values and same reference signals for each
channel.
