Patent EP-1262612-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MCGUINESS JAMES PAUL
IPC: E04G5/14
Filed: 2002-05-31
Abstract: When assembling scaffolding, operatives stand at ground level or on a previously
assembled deck, to fit the transoms, ledgers and deck of the next level, in order to fit a
guard rail for the next level, they have to stand on the deck at that level and, without a
guard rail, they are required by Health and Safety procedures to wear a safety harness
and to clip it to the scaffolding. The harness is uncomfortable to wear; It is expensive to
buy one for each operative, especially sing they require periodic replacement; and the
procedure is time consuming and unpopular. 
     A temporary guard rail is disclosed, comprising a frame having an upper rail
member supported by stanchions. The frame has clips by which it can be attached to a
permanent guard rail at one level and to the ledger of the next level up from said one
level, to locate said rail member above the deck of the next level up to act as a guard
rail. Once the transoms, ledgers and deck have been fitted for the next level up, the
temporary guard rail can be fitted from the present level and before the operative
ascends to the next level up, so that when s/he does ascend, the guard rail is already
there and there is no need to use a safety harness. At the next level up, the permanent
guard rail can be fitted, the temporary guard rail can be demounted and used for the
(new) next level up. Once assembly is complete, the temporary guard rails can be used
on the next job; they may be made robustly so as to outlast safety harnesses and they
are needed in numbers to suit the scaffolding being erected, not one per scaffolder.

Abstract: This invention provides a drive method and an drive
apparatus for a display panel that continuously maintain good
image quality when the display panel is used for a long period of
time. 
Based on the image data that are output from the A/D converter
(10), an APL (Average Picture Level) calculation unit (16)
calculates the average brightness level for one field, and then a
total light emission calculation unit (17) uses the APL calculates
the total number of times light is emitted. Based on the total
light emissions or the total usage time, the control unit (19)
controls the voltage of drive pulses for the X-sustain driver and
Y-sustain driver, or the timing at which they are applied, in
order to compensate for changes over time of the PDP (15).

Abstract: A memory (26) includes an address bus (ADDRESS), address counter
(14), address decoder (38), comparator (18), and control circuit (24). During a
data read or write cycle, the address bus (ADDRESS) receives an external
address, the address counter (14) generates an internal address, which the
address decoder (38) decodes, and the comparator (18) compares the external
address to a value. Based on the relationship between the external address and
the value, the comparator (18) enables or disables the data transfer. For
example, such a memory (26) can terminate a page-mode read/write cycle by
determining when the current external column address is no longer equal to the
current internal column address. This allows the system to terminate the cycle
after a predetermined number of data transfers by setting the external column
address to a value that does not equal the internal column address.
Alternatively, the comparator (18) can compare the external or internal address
to a predetermined end address, and the memory (26) can terminate the cycle
when the external or internal address equals the end address.

message with the MMAC index of a multicast group to which the MS
belongs and transmits forward packet data to the MS on a traffic channel corresponding
