Title: Means of cooling a data centre
Inventor: TOZER ROBERT MICHAEL
IPC: F24F3/10
Filed: 2007-02-07
Abstract: A means of cooling a data centre (servers or workstations in a room) comprises separating a cold air stream for cooling the data centre from a hot air stream exhausted from the data centre. The data centre is supplied with cooling air from outside the data centre (i.e. fresh air) and by the use of an air conditioning system (mechanical cooling). The mechanical cooling system may comprise of adiabatic coolers, cooling towers, adiabatic air spray (direct or indirect systems) or chillers. The separation of the cold and hot air streams is achieved by enclosing a hot aisle by directly connecting it to the ceiling / return air plenum located above the data centre and closing off the ends of the hot aisle with access doors at each end. Air may be supplied to a cold aisle within which the servers are located from beneath the floor via grilles. The air may be supplied, recirculated and exhausted with the use of variable volume fans operating in series with the server fans. The fresh air may filtered and its humidity controlled. The hot aisle may be cooled to permit personnel working inside (fig 7). The cooling concept may be achieved by prefabricated modular data hall sectors and built off site cooling units assembled together to define the data centre.

Title: Flat bottomed craft with wedge shaped member at the stern
Inventor: JOHNSON REGINALD ERNEST
IPC: B63B1/08
Filed: 2007-05-12
Abstract: Disclosed is the steering and driving of a flat bottomed watercraft by replacing the use of a non steering propeller and rudder with that of an outboard motor, whilst protecting the lower part of the outboard motor and its propeller from debris and the ground beneath the craft. The flat bottomed craft has a wedge shaped member mounted on the flat bottom of the craft, which reduces in cross-section towards a centerline of the craft as it extends towards the stern of the craft and terminates in line with the transom of the craft, where the outboard may be mounted. The wedge shaped member may be constructed using glass fibre, timber or rigid metals of any type in sheet form joined at the seams. The wedge shaped member directs water through the rotating propeller of the outboard while protecting the propeller from impact. Water is forced through the rotating propeller, which is then steered directly or indirectly either side of the wedge shaped member to maneuver the craft in the desired direction.

Title: Mould for production of a component having a solid right-angled corner or solid corner-cube
Inventor: MASON PAUL DAVID
IPC: G02B5/122
Filed: 2007-08-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a mould 10 for optical components comprising a first mould element 12 having a flat, planar surface 16, and a second mould element 14 having first and second flat, planar surfaces 18 and 20 which intersect at an angle of substantially 270{. The mould elements are shaped such that one of the surfaces of the second mould element may be placed in contact with the surface of the first mould element to provide two flat, planar, substantially perpendicular surfaces forming a hollow right-angled corner. The invention enables moulding of a component with a solid corner which is right angled to a high tolerance. The invention reduces the cost of manufacturing optical components compared to cutting and polishing techniques. If made of an appropriate material, the mould itself may be used as an optical component, e.g. a hollow right-angled corner reflector. Later embodiments relate to a method of making a mould and a method of making an optical or glass component.

Title: Programmable communicating finite state machines with mealy communication behaviour
Inventor: SCHLIPF THOMAS
IPC: G05B19/045
Filed: 2009-08-03
Abstract: Preventing a communication loop in communicating finite state machines by providing two tables, an output next state (OTNS) table and a communication output (COUT) table. The OTNS table is divided into two array data structures, an input compare vector (ICVT1) and an output next state next address table (ONNT). The COUT table is divided into two array data structures, an input compare vector (ICVT2) and a communication output table (COMCONT). Input compare vectors in the ICVT1 are retrieved and fed into comparators. The comparators compare the retrieved input compare vectors with an input signal. When a match is found, a corresponding comparator sets a corresponding selection signal to a pre-determined value to generate an offset value through a multiplexer. An adder adds the offset value and a value stored in a current state start address (CSSA) register, and generates an adding result. The adding result is used as an address to access a row in the ONNT. There is state transition information in that row of the ONNT.

Abstract: 1419830 Control of pulse generation CINCINNATI MILACRON Inc 28 Feb 1974 [1 March 1973] 10036/73 Heading G3N In a generator of pulse trains, having frequencies f x , f y , for controlling incremental movement of a controlled member, the pulse train for the co-ordinate with the greatest increment having the frequency f a , those for the remaining axis or axes being of a frequency reduced from the frequency fa in proportion to the ratio of the corresponding increment to the largest increment, the pulses of frequency fa are provided, by eliminating from input pulses of frequency f m , a predetermined proportion of one of the axes drive pulse trains excluding that appertaining to the largest increment. Controlled member speed is thus made approximately independent of path direction. As shown, for motion in X, Y co-ordinates comparator 13 of the relative magnitudes of increments #X, #Y enables that one of AND's 14, 16 appertaining to the lesser of the increments, the corresponding pulse train f x , or fy causing the stepwise circulation of a singe "one" in five stage ring counter 17, two of whose bit positions, coupled via OR 20 to monostable 19 causing the latter to be set twice for each circulation, the subsequent f m  pulse resetting the monostable without contributing to the pulse train f a , AND 18 enabling passage of f m  pulses only when the monostable is reset at their reception, the predetermined proportion thus being <SP>2</SP>/ 5 . Other values close to <SP>2</SP>/ 5  may be used. In a three dimensional embodiment (not shown), the pulse train f a  is provided by eliminating from the train f m  a predetermined proportion of the sum of the pulse frequencies on the axes appertaining to the lesser two increments, delay circuits (not shown) interleaving all three pulse trains without masking, a comparator inhibiting a gate blocking all the pulses appertaining to the greatest increment, the resultant pulse train passing to a recirculating counter recirculating a single one, and having connections to bit positions as in Fig. 2 to define possible proportions close to or equal to <SP>4</SP>/ 7 . Incremental motion is terminated when desired increments #X, #Y are attained. For acceleration and deceleration the frequency f m  is varied. The generator 11 may take the form disclosed in Specification 1419829.
