Inventor: ARCHON RUFUS J
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 1990-05-09
Granted: 1994-03-15
Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure In the system and method of this invention, a data processing system is dynamically configured during IPL (initial program load) time.  All of the entities of the data processing system,  including physical and logical devices, are represented as objects in an object oriented database.  The object oriented database also contains an object class of rules which define the sequence of events that are needed in order to configure the system.   A number  of  methods  are  defined  to  perform  specific functional operations on the objects.   A configuration manager  invokes  the  appropriate  method  to  perform operations on the objects according to the rules.  The objects  are  dynamically  defined,  configured,  started, stopped,  unconfigured,  and  undefined  independent  of whether  the  objects  represent  physical  or  logical entities.   In  this  way,  both  physical  and  logical entities  are  configured  in  a  consistent  and  similar fashion.

Title: Method and apparatus for drying, curing and supporting a coated strand
Inventor: JENSEN THOMAS H
IPC: C03C25/10
Filed: 1991-09-03
Granted: 1998-09-01
Abstract: A plurality of coated strands are conveyed through a drying oven.  A plurality of nozzles impinge the upper surface of the coated strand as it passes therethrough.  Baffle plates positioned below the strands redirect the gas stream such that, after the gas stream has passed through the strands, it is redirected so as to impinge on an opposite surface of the coated strand.  The strand is supported by positioning it between an additional pair of nozzles that are tilted towards each other such that an upwardly directed gas stream issuing from the first nozzle intersects an upwardly directed gas stream issuing from the second nozzle along a line which along with the strand, forms a generally vertical plane.  The combined upwardly directed force from the gas streams lifts and supports the strand while the opposing lateral force from each gas stream on the strand tend to reduce and lateral movement and stabilize its relative position.
