Inventor: LOO WILLIAM C VAN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1997-06-26
Abstract: A system for resolving packet errors and busy acknowledgments for packets in a ring network,
to maintain continued packet distribution on the network with support for strongly ordered,
nonidempotent commands. Each consumer node on the network maintains a record of the
sequence of packets that have passed through that node, and the state of each of the packets at the
time it passed through, including a record of the last known good packet and its sequence number.
When a producer node detects an error condition in an acknowledgment for a packet, resends all
packets beginning with the last known good packet. Each consumer node is able to process or
reject the resent packets, including packets that may already have been processed, which it is
aware of due to the packet and state records for all packets. Strong ordering is thus supported,
since the sending order of packets can be maintained for processing due to the resends, and nonidempotent
commands are supported due to the consumer nodes' ability to determine whether
they have already processed a given packet, and to send an acknowledge-done reply if that is the
case. A retry queueing system is used which allows the system of effectively interleave busy retry
loops with an error retry loop, thus accommodating both error retries and busy retries while preserving
strong sequential ordering, if desired, of the sent packets.

Abstract: A digital still camera has an image memory (28)
storing a plurality of image groups. Each image group
includes nine normal images and a reduced image obtained
by thinning pixels of each normal image for reduction to
1/9. When a mode pattern (15) is pressed to indicate
forward/backward screen-feeding in a nine-screen multi-reproduction
mode, a control circuit (35) feeds forwards
or backwards nine reduced images displayed on a liquid
crystal screen (16) for each group at one time. Images can
thus be retrieved more rapidly than in conventional
examples which require operating a forward/backward
screen-feed button nine times to feed nine reduced images
forwards or backwards.

Abstract: Steering, tensioning and driving a revolving metallic
casting belt in continuous casting machines wherein the belt
travels along a generally straight casting plane  P . Two two-axis
robotic mechanisms are positioned at opposite ends of an
exit-pulley drum, each including a "floating" housing carrying a
bearing rotatably supporting a journal at the respective drum
end. A drive connected to one of the journals rotates the drum
for revolving the belt. The robotic mechanisms adjustably
position opposite ends of a rotating drum in  X--X  plane parallel
with plane  P  for tensioning the belt and in  Y--Y  plane
perpendicular to plane  P  for steering the revolving belt. These
robotic mechanisms are controlled to operate in any of several
modes: (1) "Walking-tilt" steering keeps the belt much closer to
an exiting product than prior art, the belt being flatter and in
better contact with the product for improving casting speed and
quality. Mode (2) provides a "virtual squaring shaft" causing a
drum to simulate being constrained by a rigid mechanical squaring
shaft for synchronizing downstream movements of both drum
ends for regularizing tension fully across a "cylindrical" casting
belt. In modes (3), (4) and (5) the rigidity of the virtual
squaring shaft may be "softened," or re-zeroed or eliminated, to
accommodate small "frustro-conical" errors in belt manufacture.
Moreover, even a small error in built-in length dimensions of a
belt carriage may effectively be canceled by mode adjustments
which effectively "twist" the virtual squaring shaft.

Abstract: A first sleeve (17) is electrically insulated from an outer flange (30) whose inward facing end faces a flange (21) around a second sleeve (18) and is soldered to the end face of this flange. At least one melt flow channel runs close to the soldered surfaces and has walls in the flange area made completely of metal. Preferred Features: Radial bridging pieces at the end of the first sleeve (17) facing the flange (21) around the second sleeve (18) make electrical connection between the first sleeve and a distribution ring connected to an electrical connection (25). Openings between the bridges enable the walls of the melt flow channel in the outer flange (30) to project through and connect with flow channels in the flange around the second sleeve. An end cap surrounds the free ends (13,16) of the heating bar and first sleeve and connects them electrically. In a variation of this arrangement the melt flow channels may be separate inserts which fit into openings between the bridging pieces and are electrically insulated from the adjacent surfaces. Alternatively, the flange around the second sleeve is integrated with the latter and has one or more melt flow openings parallel to the nozzle axis whose walls extend completely through the flange and are made entirely of metal. Ribs between the flow openings have channels for electrically insulated adjustable screws forming current bridges between the first sleeve and a current distributor.
