Title: Self-optimizing detergent controller
Inventor: BRADY DANIEL F
IPC: D06F33/37
Filed: 1992-11-18
Abstract: An apparatus and method for programming a detergent controller to vary the detergent concentration set-point according to the time of day and to achieve detergent concentration levels quickly without incurring overshoot. Thus, the present invention insures that the warewashing machine is operated at optimum efficiency and cost. To vary the set-point according to the time of day, the invention combines the features of a microprocessor, a clock and a controller into one unit. The user enters the time setting and set point into the controller. The microprocessor then compares the real-time clock signal with the user time settings and outputs an appropriate set-point value from the microprocessor to the controller. To achieve detergent concentration levels quickly without incurring overshoot, the controller senses the detergent concentration and dispenses the proper detergent level to the warewashing machine according to a predetermined detergent feed time based on the previous response time and the programmed set-point. Thus, the controller can change the response function if and when conditions change.

Title: Object sampling technique for runtime observations of representative instances thereof
Inventor: AGESEN OLE
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2001-05-16
Granted: 2004-12-01
Abstract: With better knowledge of the behavior of objects in a running application, it is possible to improve execution environment decisions that affect management of such objects. For example, if available, object lifetime statistics could be employed in decisions that affect how and where objects are placed, e.g., on allocation or during operation of automatic dynamic memory management facilities such as a garbage collector. Typically, instrumenting all objects to sample lifetimes or other characteristics would impose an impractical level of overhead. We present a technique for dynamic sampling of a subset of allocated objects that incurs low runtime overheads. Coupled with automatic memory management or collection facilities, this technique allows us to improve the efficiency of a collector by segregating objects, sampled and non-sampled alike, based on observed characteristics such as object lifetime. The sampling techniques facilitate tracking of many kinds of object information. For purposes of illustration, an exemplary implementation is described in which such sampling techniques are exploited to improve performance of generational garbage collectors.

Title: A method of synchronizing a radio receiver with an incoming radio signal
Inventor: LARSSON LARS GUSTAV
IPC: H04W56/00
Filed: 1992-03-27
Granted: 1995-02-15
Abstract: A method of synchronizing a baseband demodulator in a radio receiver, which may be stationary or mobile. The demodulator is a phase-shift demodulator and detects a baseband signal incoming from a sampling A/D-converter in the receiver. The baseband signal is transmitted from a radio transmitter in the form of bursts, in time slots in accordance with the TDMA-principle. One time slot, in addition to the data word, also includes in a known manner a synchronization part which has a given, fixed bit pattern. Prior to demodulation in the baseband demodulator, differential correlation of the received baseband signal is effected with the known synchronization pattern, wherein a time-dependent correlation function is obtained. The absolute magnitude of the maximum value is calculated and the corresponding time position for this maximum value is detected, which denotes the time position of the synchronization part of the received baseband signal.

Title: Method for ammonia-free deposition of copper
Inventor: SOLTYS JOSEPH
IPC: C09D5/00
Filed: 1994-10-03
Abstract: An ammonia-free reducer is added to cupric ions to achieve reduction to cuprous hydroxide in a process for the deposition of metallic copper on a catalytically activated surface by rapidly reducing cupric ions in aqueous solution to cuprous hydroxide, without substantial reduction to elemental or metallic copper, and thereafter effecting controlled disproportionation of the resultant cuprous hydroxide to bring about the deposition of metallic copper. The ammonia-free reducer is preferably hydroxylamine or its salts in the presence of a water soluble alkali metal- or alkaline earth metal- hydroxide, more preferably sodium hydroxide. The process of reduction of cupric ions is further effected by adding to the solution an antiagglomerating agent for controlling the dispersion of the cuprous hydroxide, preferably a polyol such as sorbose or invert sugar. The process of disproportionation of the cuprous hydroxide is further effected by adding an activator comprising a hydroxycarboxylic acid or salt thereof, preferably citric acid or malic acid with sulfuric acid, to bring about the deposition of metallic copper principally on the catalytically activated surface, wherein the hydroxycarboxylic acid or salt activator is present in solution in an amount no greater than about one mole per mole of cuprous hydroxide.
