Patent CA-2277717-C (CA)
Inventor: LINES VALERIE
IPC: G11C7/06
Filed: 1999-07-12
Granted: 2006-12-05
Abstract: The invention detects multiple matches between search and stored data in high high-density content addressable memories. An input signal is derived from the matchlines, such that the input signal starts discharging form a predetermined precharge level towards a discharge level determined by the number of match conditions. A reference signal is generated such that it starts to discharge at the same time from the same precharge level towards a reference level which falls between the two discharge levels corresponding to single and double match condition. A latching differential amplifier is activated shortly thereafter to compare the input signal with the reference signal and thereby provide an indication whether a multiple single or no match occurs on the matchlines, after which the amplifier is deactivated. The disclosed circuit features a relatively fast detection with low current consumption.

Title: Dual mode of operation fireplaces for operation in vented or unvented mode
Inventor: SHIMEK RONALD JOHN
IPC: F23L17/00
Filed: 2000-03-01
Granted: 2006-12-12
Abstract: A novel dual mode of operation gas fireplace of the type having a combustion chamber box and a heat exchanger is provided with a burner in the bottom of the combustion chamber box which creates exhaust gasses to be passed out of the combustion chamber box and into or through the heat exchanger portion of the fireplace mounted on top of or back of the combustion chamber box. The hot exhaust gasses leaving the combustion chamber box may be directed into an exhaust stack or diverted directly into the room to be heated by a blower motor which diverts hot exhaust gas products from the heat exchanger directly into a room area to be heated in a ventless mode of operation. When the blower motor which diverts the exhaust gasses into the room is deactivated, the novel fireplace may be operated in a vented mode of operation. The feature of the present invention is that the novel fireplace may be operated in both the dual modes of operation simultaneously to achieve greater efficiencies than could be achieved by operating the fireplace in a vented mode of operation alone.

Title: A hydro-mechanical transmission planetary carrier support system
Inventor: PUETZ CRAIG ALLEN
IPC: F16H47/04
Filed: 2001-04-17
Granted: 2004-06-29
Abstract: In a hydro-mechanical transmission having a hydrostatic unit and a mechanical gear train, the hydrostatic unit is resiliently mounted in the transmission housing to reduce the transmission of noise and vibration to the housing. Movement of the hydrostatic unit is facilitated by mounting the planetary carrier on a ball bearing instead of taper roller bearings. The ball bearing allows the carrier limited movement transverse to the axis of rotation of the carrier. To further reduce wear of the gear faces, one or more of the meshing gears at the point of relative movement have crowned gear faces rather than straight gear faces. This avoids a single line of contact of the meshing teeth at the tooth edge.

A maximum likelihood (ML) state searcher has a plurality of cells in an array with rows and columns, connected to one another according to an encoder trellis, cells in each row having a process time, Ds, for outputting the same value of the cells in the last column as an ML state value representing an ML path in response to the path selectors. A delay delays the LLR data received from the ACS by the time Ds. An LLR update circuit has a plurality of processing elements (PEs) in an array with rows and columns, connected according to the encoder trellis, PEs in each row having a process time, D L, for generating updated LLR values from the PEs at a time instant (first time instant - approximately Ds+D L) in response to the delayed LLR data received from the delay. A selector selects one of the updated LLR values based on the ML state value.
