Title: Joist end seal
Inventor: ALLEN DEAN STANLEY
IPC: E04B5/12
Filed: 2006-12-01
Abstract: A joist end seal 10 comprises a back plate 20 in the form of a vertically elongate member with an upper end and a lower end. The end seal includes at least two pairs of substantially vertically orientated protrusions 30 which extend from, and are substantially perpendicular to, the back plate 20. Each pair of protrusions 30 defines a joist receiving space 32 therebetween, and each pair of protrusions 30 is vertically spaced from the other pair or pairs. Preferably the joist end seal may be used with a solid joist or an I-shaped joist. The joist end seal may be adapted to fit an I -shaped joist where the first pair of protrusions receives one flange of the joist and a second pair of protrusions receives the second flange of the joist. With reference to Figure 5, a further invention defines a joist end seal 100 which comprises: a back plate 200 in the form of a vertically elongate member with an upper end and a lower end; and at least one pair of substantially vertically orientated plates 300 which extend from and are substantially perpendicular to, the back plate 200.

Title: Method of booting up a slave processor by the boot loader of the slave loading the boot program from the memory attached to the master processor.
Inventor: UEMURA MARIKO
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2007-01-25
Abstract: Disclosed is a multiprocessor system and a method of booting up the slave processor 21 of the system. The system consists of a master system 10 and a slave system 20, connected to each other by an inter-processor communication interface 14, 23. The master system has a memory 13 to store the boot program for the slave system. The slave system has a loader 25 to download its boot program from the memory attached to the master system via the inter-processor communication interface. The slave system may have a memory 22 to store the program to be executed by the slave processor. The master system may issue a command to the loader of the slave system to load the boot program and the loader issue a message confirming that the boot program is being downloaded. The inter-processor communication interface may be a serial interface. The slave system thus does not need it own non-volatile memory to store its boot-up or BIOS program.

Title: System and method for data synchronization over a network using a presentation level protocol
Inventor: MOMTCHILOV GUEORGUI
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2005-06-08
Abstract: A mechanism for synchronizing data on a device communicating with a client system with data accessible from a server-hosted session is disclosed.

Patent GB-2438767-A (GB)
Title: Identifying packets for forwarding through connections
Inventor: FRISKNEY ROBERT
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2005-04-06
Abstract: The invention relates to enabling differential forwarding in address-based carrier networks such as Ethernet networks. There is described a method of and connection controller for establishing connections (76, 77) in a frame-based communications network (78) comprising nodes (71 - 75) such as Ethernet switches. The connections are established by configuring, in various of the nodes, mappings for forwarding data frames, such as Ethernet frames. The mappings are from a combination of a) a destination (or source) address corresponding to a destination (or source) node (73) of the connection and b) an identifier, such as a VLAN tag. The mappings are to selected output ports of the various nodes. By using the combination of destination (or source) address AND identifier, the mappings enable data frames belonging to different connections (76, 77) to be forwarded differentially (i.e. forwarded on different output ports) at a node (75) despite the different connections having the same destination node. This enables flexibility in routing connections and the ability to perform traffic engineering. The invention is particularly concerned with identifying the data packets to be transported through the connections in an Ethernet network. Data is stored, relating to an association between a customer attachment interface, which terminates a customer service, and a network connection defined by a MAC address, and an identifier. The data packets identified as corresponding to the customer service are identified as being those for transport through the connection.

Title: Hydraulic controller of construction machinery
Inventor: ITAKURA YOSHIAKI
IPC: F15B11/17
Filed: 2006-05-17
Abstract: A hydraulic controller of construction machinery. A plurality of actuators (4, 7) are actuated by operating operational levers (29a, 30a) while using a main merging/diverting valve (13), provided in an oil path (12) coupling the delivery oil paths (10, 11) of first and second hydraulic pumps, as a flow merging position. Operating condition of the operational lever is judged at an operating condition judging section (41). From among a variety of operation patterns set under that operating condition and stored in a controller (14), an operation pattern matching an actual operation pattern is selected at a pattern collating section. Since delivery pressure of each delivery oil path (10, 11) is high when the load pressure of each actuator (4, 7) is high, the main merging/diverting valve (13) is switched to a flow diverting position when the total delivery pressure exceeds a preset level, and switched to a flow merging position when the total delivery pressure drops below the preset level. Preparation of a troublesome control program is not required in the control. Switching between flow merging and flow diverting can be carried out smoothly with no shock even during work, and an optimal flow distribution is ensured constantly both at the time of flow merging and flow diverting.
