Filed: 1996-09-19
Abstract: A data processing apparatus comprises a first memory (212) storing a set or rules, each in the form of at least one specific behaviour defining a condition and at least one further behaviour defining an associated response with the condition portion of each rule having a characteristic time delay, and a processor (220) operating to respond to any of the said conditions being satisfied by generating one or more further behaviours defining the associated response. A second memory (206) coupled via the processor (220) to a clock (226) maintains a record of behaviour state changes ("events") and the time at which they occurred. On selection of an event of interest, a first comparator (240) identifies the or those rules having the selected event behaviour as at least a part of their response, and a second comparator (242) compares the condition portion of the or each rule identified by the first comparator with the maintained record of events (206) at a point preceding the selected event by the characteristic delay of the rule. A rule is identified as the cause of the selected event where an event consistent with the condition portion of that rule occurs at that preceding point.

Patent CA-2213387-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHEN WILLIAM W
IPC: C04B41/50
Filed: 1997-08-19
Abstract: Single crystal sapphire (34) is conventionally employed for mid-wave IR windows and domes exposed to high aerodynamic heating environments. Single crystal sapphire (34), however, suffers a loss of compressive strength in the c-axis of 95% on heating from ambient to 800°C. This loss of compressive on heating results in poor thermal shock resistance. Poor thermal shock resistance jeopardizes the reliability of the windows (32) and domes. The process of the present invention strengthens sapphire (34) and improves its resistance to thermal shock by introducing magnesium (Mg) ions into the crystal lattice of sapphire (34) to form a solid solution. The solid solution increases the strength of the sapphire (34). Additionally, a larger increase in strength results from converting the Mg into second phase precipitates (40) comprising magnesium aluminate spinel. The formation of the second phase particulates (40) results in precipitation-hardening or precipitation-strengthening due to the volume change on forming the magnesium aluminate spinel. The second phase particulates (40) comprising magnesium aluminate spinel are held to such a small size that the second phase particulates (40) impart increased fracture strength while not significantly degrading the IR transmission when compared with untreated sapphire (34). Consequently, precipitation-hardening with magnesium aluminate spinel improves the compressive strength of sapphire (34) while retaining high thermal conductivity and IR transmission.

Title: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome oral vaccine production in plants
Inventor: YOO DONGWAN
IPC: C12N15/40
Filed: 1998-01-27
Abstract: A method for preparing a porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus protein is disclosed. This method involves obtaining a gene encoding the desired protein, then inserting the gene within a vector suitable for transforming a plant and transforming a plant with the vector. Following growth of the transformed plant, the desired tissues may be harvested and the protein is extracted from the harvested tissue. This invention is also directed at a method of immunizing pigs against porcine reproductive respiratory syndrome comprising harvesting the transformed plant to obtain harvested tissue and feeding the harvested tissue to pigs, or extracting the protein from the harvested tissue and administering the protein to the pig as a food supplement, or as an injection. However, direct grazing of the plant tissue prior to harvested may also be employed as desired.

Title: Voltage step up circuit for magnetometric sensor
Inventor: NAGAISHI TATSUOKI
IPC: G01R33/035
Filed: 1997-12-04
Abstract: The present invention provides an improved and simplified voltage step-up circuit (2) for a SQUID magnetometric sensor (1), which provides step-up of a voltage signal generated by a SQUID element (11). The SQUID element is exited by a modulated signal using the FLL method. In an example, a step-up means (22) comprises only one step-up transformer (22T) working at room temperature and an electronic amplifier (22A). The voltage signal is first stepped up by the transformer. A signal processing means (23) processes the stepped up signal with the modulation signal to output a magnetic field measurement signal (V~). In another example, a bias current source (21) is also connected to terminals between SQUID element (11) and the transformer (22). A series resistor is connected between the transformer and one of the terminals. This allows a reduction in the number of terminals between the SQUID sensor (1) and the circuit (2).

Abstract: A tool for transforming SGML documents using SGML architectures determines to what class of element an element in a first document belongs, from the first document type definition, by searching at least part of the first document type definition for a qualifier to an element, indicating an association with a definition of the class of element. It then determines for that class, at least one corresponding element in the second document type definition, and includes in the second document, an instance of the corresponding element or elements. Interchange of documents becomes easier because a single generic tool can be used for transformation between many different types of documents.

IPC: G06F9/48
Filed: 1998-03-11
Abstract: A method, system, and associated program code and data structures are provided for a message processing system in which messages are passed from source nodes to destination nodes. Notification of the arrival of the messages at the destination nodes can be effected by programmable source initiated interrupts or destination initiated interrupts. The source initiated interrupts are implemented as set fields embedded in the message packets sent from a source node to a destination node and trigger the requisite interrupt at the destination node upon message arrival. The destination initiated interrupts are implemented as pre-set fields in anticipatory buffers which are allocated at the destination node for incoming messages from the source node. Standard incoming message queue polling, as well as interrupt enabling and disabling functions are also provided, which together allow the system to selectively invoke interrupt or alternative strategies to notify destination nodes of arriving messages.

Title: Mineral fiber insulation batt impregnated with extruded synthetic fibers, and apparatus for making same
Inventor: CHURCH JOSEPH T
IPC: B32B17/04
Filed: 1998-07-21
Abstract: A method of directing extruded synthetic fibers toward at least one surface of a mineral fiber insulation batt, and corresponding apparatus and resulting product. In certain embodiments, a row of extrusion heads is provided for directing extruded synthetic fibers (e.g. fibers including ethyl vinyl acetate or EVA) toward a surface(s) of the batt(s) to be impregnated with same. Optionally, extrusion heads may be provided all around the batts so as to impregnate substantially all surfaces thereof with the extruded synthetic fibers. As the fibers exit the heads, they are hit with pressurized heated air streams which cause them to go into an insipid spin which increases directional tensile strength of the resulting batt in all directions. In certain embodiments, every other batt of a plurality of batts passes over an elongated member which extends over top of the conveyor in order to more efficiently impregnate edge surfaces of the batts.
