Title: Joystick assembly
Inventor: BIRT LESLIE ARTHUR
IPC: G05G9/047
Filed: 1994-06-22
Abstract: An electromechanical joystick assembly comprising an operating lever 10 which is pivotally mounted to a housing by means of an electrically conductive mounting member 23, which is in contact with an electrically conductive spring 32 mounted to the inner side wall of the housing. The operating lever 10 is pivoted to the mounting member 23 by a conductive pin 24. The inner side walls of the housing 20 have an electrically conductive coating and a ground conductor is provided on a printed circuit board (PCB 1 or PCB 2) which is in contact with a portion of the inner side wall. Thus the operating lever 10 is connected to ground by the conductive pin 24, the mounting member 23 and the spring 32. Because the lever is grounded in this way, it is prevented from acting as an aerial for any stray signals generated externally or within the assembly, and an electrostatic discharge path is provided from the operating lever to ground. The joystick assembly therefore exhibits effective electromagnetic compatibility. <IMAGE>

Title: Client-server system with load distribution and storage redundancy
Inventor: KOBAYASHI TSUYOSHI
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 1996-03-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a client-server system which improves efficiency by distributing loads to a plurality of servers. The system comprises RAID storage having a plurality of stores 31, 32 among which sequential blocks of data 4, possibly duplicated, are distributed by "striping"; a plurality of servers 2, each of which is connected to a set of the stores, for accessing the data; an administration apparatus 12, which is connected to the servers or is constituted by one of them, for controlling the data distribution and the servers; at least one client 5 (which may act as a concentrator for several terminals); and a local area network 1. A client finds out from the administration apparatus the number of a head block of a required file, specifies a server which is connected to a store where the head block is stored, and then accesses sequential data blocks in the servers. The administration apparatus notifies the client if access to a block is prevented. The block distribution allows multiple clients simultaneous access to stored data, e.g for video on demand. Parity data are also stored, in either a dedicated unit (19, 21, Fig 8) or distributed among the stores 31, 32. If a server or store fails, a client can access either the duplicate data blocks or data blocks restored using the parity data. The restoration is carried out within each server, within the dedicated unit or within a client.
