Title: Reverse power protection circuit for radio frequency instruments
Inventor: GRAEBER ROGER R
IPC: H01H51/28
Filed: 1997-02-27
Abstract: A protection circuit for high frequency instruments uses a reed relay 10 which is inexpensive to construct, permits good impedance matching up to approximately 5 GHz, and can be easily mounted on a coplanar waveguide transmission line. The circuit can open the relay in response to a reverse power condition in as little as 8 microseconds, provides good grounding, and functions reliably up to 4 GHz. The relay 10 is connected in an RE signal line which is coupled through reverse-biased diodes 85 to grounding patches, grounding planes and capacitors 86. Transient absorbers 92,93 are also connected to the grounding patches. If the RF signal increases, diodes 85 conduct and a voltage divider 101 applies a voltage to a comparator (110, Fig 6B). When a threshold voltage is exceeded, switching transistors (151,153) de-energise the coil of relay 10 to open the signal line. A reset circuit (160) is provided.

Patent GB-2346986-A (GB)
Title: Microcode upgrading
Inventor: ASCO AMADEO
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 1999-02-19
Abstract: A method for providing the automatic upgrade of microcode on a computer system connected to a remote system comprises executing a software tool on the computer system to determine the level of the current microcode on the system. The information (504) on the current microcode level and associated system configuration information is sent automatically to the remote system (506) where the microcode level and configuration information are checked against a database (508). The microcode may operate a storage adapter, such as a RAID system, with the information being uploaded via the Internet to the remote server (506). On a determination that the current microcode level is not the latest level (510), the user of the computer system is notified that a more recent level is available (516). This notification may take the form of presenting a hypertext page (518) to the user with links to the most recent version of the microcode to download. In response to a request by the user (520), the more recent microcode level is downloaded from the remote system (524). The user can then upgrade the microcode in the system. The advantages are that the location of the most recent microcode upgrades can be managed remotely without the user having to know the exact web address of the link to the latest version, and that the upgrade is automatically assured of being the latest version.

Title: Fast detection of X-rays using detector arrays and energy discrimination
Inventor: CARTER TONY
IPC: G01N23/207
Filed: 1999-12-16
Abstract: This invention relates to the field of X-ray inspection systems and more particularly those that use X-ray diffraction to analyse an object under inspection. X-ray diffraction has long been used as an aid to structural analysis and information about a diffracting material is commonly derived by one of two methods: energy dispersion or angular dispersion. The present invention proposes the use of an array of semiconductor detector elements and associated electronics which are capable of extracting an essentially monochromatic diffraction pattern from scattered polychromatic or quasi-monochromatic X-rays. Electrical pulses with a parameter representative of the response magnitude are discriminated by electronics which output a digital signal. If the pulse parameter lies between first and second discriminator values a digital signal is produced and counted. Therefore, X-rays over a range of energies, as defined by the discriminator values, are detected and counted over a range of angles, determined by the position of sensors on the array.

Abstract: A találmány szerinti eljárásban adott térfogatú tesztcsőbe, amely meghatározott mennyiségű lúgos kémhatású anyagot, előnyösen alkálífém-hidroxidokat, alkoholátokat, fenolátokat, karboxilátokat vagy szerves bázisokat illetve ezek szerves savakkal alkotott sóit és egy vagy több sav-bázis indikátort tartalmaz egy olyan szerves oldószerkeverékben, amely a vizsgálandó olajjal elegyedik, hozzáadják a tesztcső térfogata által megengedett mennyiségű olajat. Az olajos fázisban az indikátor színének megmaradása illetve megváltozása mutatja, hogy az adott térfogatú olajra vonatkoztatva a bemért lúgos kémhatású anyag egyenértékének megfelelő savmenynyiségnél kevesebb, avagy több található az olajban. A sötét olajoknál, amelyeknél a szín változása vagy megmaradása nem észlelhető egyértelműen, a reakció elvégzése után vizet adagolnak, a tesztcsövet összerázzák, és a vizes fázis szétválása után vizsgálják annak színét. Megfelelően választott kétszínátcsapásos indikátorral, illetve indikátorkeverékkel megállapítható, hogy az agresszív savtartalom, vagy csak a karbonsavtartalom haladja meg a megengedett határértéket.
