Abstract: A package for dispensing sheet material from a stack includes a novel biasing device for urging the stack of sheet material toward an opening in one side of the package. The biasing device is comprised of a flat sheet of material sized and shaped to be located within the package beneath the stack of sheet material. An elastomeric element having an unstressed length that is less than a diameter of the flat sheet of material is stressed and positioned between opposite edges of the flat sheet of material. As stress is relieved from the elastomeric element, the elastomeric element draws the opposite edges together and elevates a central portion of the sheet of material in the form of an arch to urge the stack toward the opening as the stack of sheet material is depleted.

Abstract: An exteriorly positionable anatomical brace for stabilizing a uniting pivoting joint disposed between a first and second limb structure of a living being. The brace includes upper and lower frame members joined by a pivoting joint member, with each frame member having a respective cuff for encompassing a portion of each limb structure above and below the joint. Each cuff is an arcuate, tensionable, flexibly-bendable wall structure having integral therewith at least one elongate tensioner in arcuately related juxtaposition with the cuff such that bending the tensioner also bends the cuff. The tensioner includes an exteriorly accessible adjuster for incrementally moving the lateral end of the tensioner medially or laterally for tightening or loosening the cuff. Once set, the adjuster maintains the chosen arcuate configuration, thereby assuring a proper fit without repeated adjustment each time the brace is donned.

Abstract: A method and associated structures for coding a sequence of data bytes (BY1,BY2), in which two bits (B1, B2) of a data byte form a double bit (D1-D4). Each double bit is represented by a time slot frame (ZR1-ZR4) that has at least four time slots (ZS1-ZS4). The time slots can assume an on or off value (Z1, Z0). The coding is carried out in a time slot frame such that at least one time slot is preloaded with an off value (Z0) at a position (AF). The time slots that have not been preloaded have, at most, one time slot with an on-value in order to form a logic value (00, 01, 10, 11) of a double bit. The method can be used for identification systems (IS), for mobile data memories (DT) and for reader/writers (SLG). Therein, a higher data rate and/or a greater transmission distance between the reader/writer and the mobile data memory is achieved.

Title: Alarm recovery method and system
Inventor: CHERNOGUZOV ALEXANDER
IPC: G05B23/02
Filed: 2003-07-11
Granted: 2006-09-06
Abstract: An alarm recovery method and device for regenerating a list of alarm state values of a device after loss of communication or other discontinuity in processing is disclosed. The method and device are implemented in a control system for the control of a process. In normal operation the device sends notification messages on a high priority basis to a computer to update the alarm state values of a list. When communication is lost and then resumed, or other discontinuity of processing occurs and is restored, the recovery procedure begins by notifying the notification manager of the start of the notification process, saving alarm condition disable states, disabling each enabled alarm condition, allowing the device to generate return-to-normal notifications, restoring the original alarm condition disable states, allowing the device to generate appropriate current active alarm notifications, and notifying the notification manager of the end of the notification process. The notification manager reliably re-synchronizes the alarm states since the re-generated alarms are communicated at the same priority as the new alarm state changes, preventing mis-matches possible with other alarm state-access methods.

Abstract: The present invention performs a digital computation with a lower than worst-case-required clock period (i.e., a faster clock), and at the same time performs the same computation with a larger, worst-case-assumed, clock period (i.e., a slower clock) on a second with identical hardware. The output from the computations are compared to determine if an error has occurred. If there is a difference in the two answers, the faster computation must be in error (i.e., a miscalculation has occurred), and the system uses the answer from the slower system. In one embodiment, the present invention utilizes two copies of the slower that each run half as fast as the main system. However, the two copies produce results in the aggregate at the same rate as the main system, which is running at a much faster rate than possible without the invention. Hence the present invention improves performance (e.g., speed), albeit with more hardware.

Abstract: The present invention provides polynucleotides and related polypeptides of the protein ZMNAM isolated from maize endosperm. The invention provides genomic sequence for the ZMNAM gene. ZMNAM is a novel gene and is regulated by gene-specific imprinting. ZMNAM expression is endosperm-specific and expressed throughout the endosperm development, peaking at 25 DAP. Genomic imprinting has been implicated to play a role in endosperm development. Genes regulated by allele-specific imprinting are suspected to be non-essential to seed development. Gene-specific imprinting however, regulates developmentally important genes. The ZMNAM gene, a putative transcriptional factor, may play an important role in endosperm development, which may further affect kernel size, plant vigor during germination and at the early seedling stage.
