Title: Heat recoverable articles for jointing electrical
IPC: F16L59/02
Filed: 1965-08-10
Abstract: Heat recoverable covering element carries a viscous layer of non-crystalline material on the side intended to contact the article to be covered. On application to the article to be covered the viscous material is caused to flow to form a moisture-proof barrier layer, or, when conductive, to inhibit corona discharge. The viscous-material may be an oil or a grease, and may be rendered conductive by finely divided electronically conductive particles. Alternatively the materil may be a mastic or even mercury. The covering element may be made of suitably treated polymeric material, for example a polyolefine, a polyamide, P.V.C., polyurethane, or P.T.F.E.

Title: Use of formamides as plasticisers for phenolic moulding
Inventor: DIPL-CHEM SCHUENEMANN HEINZ J
IPC: C08K5/20
Filed: 1968-09-17
Abstract: Phenolic moulding materials with improved plasticity contain 0.1-30% wt. formamide (I) HCON(R1)(R2), where R1 and R2 = H atoms, or aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or heterocyclic groups; or the group -N(R1)(R2) forms part of a heterocyclic ring. Addition of formamides (I), e.g. formamide, N-hydroxyethylformamide or dimethylformamide, gives phenolic resin moulding materials of improved flow properties and lowered minimum moulding pressure. The mixts. are esp. useful for injection mouldings. 2% wt. formamide was sprayed onto a sawdust-contg. phenolic resin mass in granulate form of the type 31/16 (DIN 7768). The mixt. was formed into a 10 mm plate by moulding for 60 secs. at 35 atm. and 165 deg.C.

Inventor: ANZAI TAKESHI
IPC: G11C7/22
Filed: 2001-02-22
Abstract: A data transfer method allows improved data transfer speed without increasing the number of signal lines. After dividing data to be transferred into odd-numbered data and even-numbered data, the odd-numbered data are sequentially read at timing of a leading edge of each clock pulse and the even-numbered data are sequentially read at timing of a trailing edge of each clock pulse. Thereafter, a data transfer completion indicator is appended to one of the odd-numbered and even-numbered data strings. A transfer clock signal includes a fixed level pulse in a period of time corresponding to the data transfer completion indicator. The one of the odd-numbered and even-numbered data strings followed by the data transfer completion indicator, the other of the odd-numbered and even-numbered data strings, and the transfer clock signal are transferred through different signal lines.

Title: Storage disk failover and replacement system
Inventor: MURPHY CIARAN
IPC: G06F11/20
Filed: 2001-08-24
Abstract: A storage assembly comprising a plurality of multi-unit storage devices, such as a plurality of disks in a box, is provided with a failover procedure that does not require hot-swap capability of the units. The individual units are aggregated into a storage array by an aggregation procedure such as RAID. The system has at least one hot spare. When a failure occurs data from the failed unit is transferred to a hot spare unit. Also, data from other units within that device is transferred by simulating failure of those units and then the complete device can be removed. In small storage networks all the units may be aggregated as a single array and a spare auxiliary device is summoned and integrated into the array prior to the simulated failure of the good units which are failed over to units in the spare auxiliary device. In larger systems there may be two layers of aggregation, units within each device are aggregated into a plurality of separate arrays and these device arrays are aggregated into a device based array by a second level of aggregation. Failover is run by the second level of aggregation and a hot spare device is provided for this. All units in the device with the failure are failed-over.

Title: Tension monitor
Inventor: LEA CHRISTOPHER ANDRE PHILIP
IPC: G01L1/02
Filed: 2002-11-28
Abstract: A tension monitor for fastener, support or tensioning systems comprising of a body 1 that incorporates a circular pressurised air chamber, an O ring seal 3 and a top 2 which when pressed against the O ring, due to the tension applied, makes the tension monitor air tight. The tension monitor has a central bore through which the fastener, support or tensioning system passes. Air is supplied to the tension monitor under pressure from a reservoir or other suitable source and the air pressure in the tension monitor detected by a pressure switch or some other pressure sensitive device. If the fastener, support or tensioning system fails or works loose the O ring 3 will lift off its seat and air will be lost from the tension monitor. This loss of air will be detected by the pressure switch or other air pressure sensitive device and will instigate a suitable warning indication and/or shut down the system being protected. The tension monitor is a fail- safe device as spurious leakage of air from it would activate one of the possible systems described.
