Filed: 1999-06-03
Abstract: A method and apparatus for on-line detection of partial discharge events in an a.c. power system, in which high frequency electromagnetic pulses generated by partial discharge events are detected and analyzed in the frequency domain and the time domain to determine the type and location of the partial discharge event. The phase relationship between the partial discharge events and the on-line power signal is also examined to help indicate severity of the insulation anomaly giving rise to the partial discharge events.

Title: Eight-bit microcontroller having a risc architecture
Inventor: MYKLEBUST GAUTE
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 1998-03-13
Abstract: An eight-bit RISC based microcontroller (Fig. 1) includes an eight-bit register file (20) having a dedicated arithmetic logic unit (ALU<u>2</u>), in addition to a general purpose eight-bit ALU (22). The register file further includes means for combining (16) a pair of registers to provide a logical sixteen-bit register for indirect addressing. The dedicated ALU is a sixteen-bit ALU which provides certain arithmetic functions for the register pair, thus alleviating the computational burdens that would otherwise be imposed on the general purpose eight-bit ALU. A further feature of the invention is the inclusion of a paging register (RAMP x, y, z) which is combined with the contents (14') of the logical sixteen-bit register to provided an even greater addressing range. Yet another feature of the eight-bit microcontroller of the present invention is the means (134) for directly reading and writing to any bit position within the register file with a single instruction. This avoids having to perform various load, shift and/or masking operations needed by prior art microcontrollers.

IPC: F25J3/02
Filed: 1998-04-16
Abstract: A process for the recovery of ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene and heavier hydrocarbon components from a hydrocarbon gas stream is disclosed. The stream is divided into first (35) and second (32) streams, and the second stream (32) is expanded to the fractionation tower pressure and supplied to the column (18) at a mid-column feed position (33a, 34a). A recycle stream (39) is withdrawn from the tower overhead after it has been warmed and compressed, and is combined with the first stream (35). The combined stream (38) is cooled to condense substantially all of it, and is thereafter expanded to the fractionation tower (18) pressure and supplied to the fractionation tower at a top column feed position (38c). The pressure of the compressed recycle stream and the quantities and temperatures of the feeds to the column are effective to maintain the column overhead temperature at a temperature whereby the major portion of the desired components is recovered.

Title: Perimeter weighted golf ball with visible weighting
Inventor: SULLIVAN MICHAEL J
IPC: A63B37/00
Filed: 1998-03-27
Abstract: A golf ball having a smaller and lighter core (10) and metal particles, or other heavy weight filler materials, in the cover (14, 16). Preferably, the particles are included in a relatively thick inner cover layer (or mantle) (14) of a solid, three-piece multi-layered ball. In another preferred version, one or more patterns (32, 42, 52, 62, 72, 82, 92, 104, 116, 118, 122) of weighting material are incorporated in the ball, and most preferably along the outer periphery of the ball so that the pattern (32, 42, 52, 62, 72, 82, 92, 104, 116, 118, 122) is visible along the ball's exterior. The reduced size and weight of the core (10) produces a ball which meets, or is less than, the 1.62 ounce maximum weight limitation specified by the United States Golf Association. The ball has an increased moment of inertia and/or greater radius of gyration and thus generates lower spin. The ball exhibits enhanced distance without substantially affecting its feel and durability characteristics.

Title: Vacuum assisted lancing device
Inventor: PURCELL D GLENN
IPC: A61B17/34
Filed: 1999-12-22
Abstract: A vacuum assisted lancing device (10) for obtaining capillary blood from body sites includes a plunger (12) mounted in a barrel or upper housing (24) that upon being pressed by a user, drives a lancet (18) to puncture skin at a body site. A vacuum member such as a diaphragm (38, 66) or bellows (66) is displaced by the plunger (12) and displaces air in the lancing device (10) to create a vacuum. The vacuum draws skin partially into the lancing device (10) causing blood to form at the puncture. The vacuum is then released and the blood is tested.

IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2000-03-20
Abstract: A distributed data accessing technique is disclosed. The technique is realized by storing, at a first network station, information identifying data which is available at a second network station, the second network station being different than the first network station. A signal is generated at the first network station representing the information identifying the available data and linking information to the second network station. The signal is transmitted to a third network station, the third network station being different than the first and the second network stations. The transmitted linking information is operable at the third network station to establish a network link over which the identified available data is transmittable from the second network station to the third network station.

Abstract: A room air conditioner (10) of the type having a partition (26), which divides the indoor (12) and outdoor sections (14) of the air conditioning unit (10).  The partition (26) has an exhaust opening for exhausting room air into the outdoor section. A one-piece exhaust actuation device (25) includes an elongated actuating arm. The arm has a first end (120) extending forwardly of the support structure, an intermediate section (122) extending in close proximity to the support structure and through the second opening into the outdoor section. A second end of the actuation device has a curved section (148) configured to extend into the outdoor section (14) in a first direction and to substantially reverse direction with the end of the curved section (148) adjacent to the outdoor section (14) side of the exhaust opening in the partition (26). The end of the curved section carries a door (152) thereupon which is configured to block air flow through the exhaust opening (106) in the partition when it is in confronting relation therewith. Means are provided on the support structure for pivotally supporting the intermediate section (122) of the actuating arm (25) at a position such that lateral movement of the first end (27) of the arm will result in movement of the door (152) selectively between a position in confronting relation with the exhaust opening and a position allowing free exhaust flow through the exhaust opening.
