Abstract: A circuit arrangement for igniting and operating a high intensity discharge lamp including a Buck converter. The Buck converter includes a switch, a rectifier and an inductor having primary and secondary windings. The secondary winding is part of an integrator for controlling the non-conductive state of the switch. A detector responsive to the flow of current through the rectifier produces a signal supplied to the integrator output during the non-conductive state of the switch. The integrator output remains proportional to the flow of current through the inductor regardless of the state of the switch. Consequently, the time duration that the switch is in its non-conductive state can be limited while maintaining the circuit arrangement in a reliable non-self oscillatory mode of operation.

Abstract: A walker is provided with a non-rotatable glide assembly that easily slides over the ground surface when a walker is lifted and advanced forwardly. As soon as a predetermined downward force is exerted on the walker legs, the glides retract and non-slip crutch tips engage the ground surface. Moreover, an individual glide may be easily removed and substituted by a wheel that provides rolling contact with the ground surface. The remainder of the mounting structure is used so that the walker may be easily converted from a glide to wheeled arrangement. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An improved field programmable gate array (FPGA) is provided which includes tab network connectors (410,420,430...470) for interfacing groups of configurable function generators with lower levels of interconnect and for interfacing lower levels of interconnect with higher levels of interconnect. Furthermore, an innovative cluster architecture is utilized which provides fine granularity without a significant increase in configurable function generators. The tab connector network (410,420... 470) can also be used to route a lower level routing line to a higher level routing line. This is particularly desirable in order to meet with needs for driving a signal along longer routing lines without requiring all signal drivers be sufficiently large to drive a signal along the longest routing line. The connector networks described enable a flexible routing scheme to be implemented in which the routing lines at each level are divided into sets. In addition, the innovative routing hierarchy consisting of the routing lines, block connector tab networks and turn matrices (710), permits an innovative, space saving floor plan to be utilized that is scalable. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An article carrier of the top gripping type includes a main panel (20, 116) having a pair of opposed end edges (70, 72, 170, 172), a first fold line (32, 134) extending between said end edges (70, 72, 170, 172), and at least one aperture (44, 144) for receiving an article (A). The aperture (44, 144) is disposed astride the first fold line (32, 134) to interrupt it. A first tab (40, 140) is struck from the main panel (20, 116) and defining at least a part of the aperture (44, 144). The tab (40, 140) is hingeably connected to the main panel (20, 116) so that the tab (40, 140) is displaceable out of the plane of the main panel (20, 116) to operatively engage a part of the article (A) when the article (A) is in the aperture (44, 144). The tab (40, 140) is connected to the main panel (20, 116) by means of a pair of second and third spaced fold lines (60, 62, 160, 162) extending divergently from each other toward one of the end edges (70, 72, 170, 172) so that displacement of the tab (40, 140) out of the plane of the main panel (20, 116) causes the main panel to be folded about the first fold line (32, 134). A stress relieving cut line (64, 164) is provided to extend between the second and third fold lines (60, 62 160, 162) to partially separate the tab (40, 140) from the main panel (20, 116). The cut (64, 164) line is disposed transversely of the first fold line (32, 134) such that the first fold line (32, 134) is interrupted at the cut line (64, 164). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of feeding carnitine supplemented diets to sows during the period of gestation or during both gestation and lactation periods. The method enhances pork productivity by increasing litter and pig birth and weaning weights, reducing the number of stillborn pigs and increasing the number of pigs born alive in the subsequent reproductive cycle. Sow diets of this invention include carnitine, such as L-carnitine or L-carnitine salts. Carnitine is generally added to the swine feed formulation in the amount of from about 5 to about 5,000 ppm.

Abstract: Error correction circuitry attempts to detect and correct on the fly erroneous words within random access memory (RAM) within a computer system. RAM errors are scrubbed or corrected back in the memory without delaying the memory access cycle. Rather, the address of the section or row of RAM that contains the correctable error is latched for later used by an interrupt-driven firmware memory-error scrub routine. This routine reads and rewrites each word within the indicated memory section-the erroneous word is read, corrected on-the-fly as it is read, and then rewritten back into memory correctly. If the size of the memory section exceeds a predetermined threshold, then the process of reading and re-writing that section is divided into smaller sub-processes that are distributed in time using a delayed interrupt mechanism. Duration of each memory scrubbing subprocess is kept short enough that the response time of the computer system is not impaired with the housekeeping task of scrubbing RAM memory errors. System management interrupts and firmware may be used to implement the memory-error scrub routine, which makes it independent of and transparent to the various operating systems that may be run on the computer system.

Abstract: A current detector and metering circuit is provided for a dielectrokinesis detecting device. This device is particularly useful in the areas of locating obscured entities, such as human beings, animals, materials, or controlled substances. A current detector is attached to an antenna and detects when subtle changes in the dielectrokinesis occurs within an detection environment. The present current detector automatically zeros itself to ambient electric field values and then has a heightened sensitivity for changes in that electrical field caused by changes in the dielectrokinesis. The present invention can be used for detection of hidden entities or substance, for motion detection, for medical diagnostic detection, and other uses.

Abstract: The device for separating particles in at least one separation chamber from a gaseous mixture has an inlet for the mixture connected to an elongated reactor (R) which supplies the mixture and a first outlet (4) producing a gaseous effluent from the separation which contains a small quantity of particles and a second outlet (9) producing the majority of the particles. The separation chamber combines a transition zone (1) connected to the inlet with a rectangular or square section passage carrying the mixture to a coiled zone (3). The coiled zone is designed to rotate the mixture in the vertical plane through an angle of less than 360 degrees and comprises two vertical walls (6) between which the rotation occurs, and an external wall (30) describing the coil turning the mixture through between 70 and 225 degrees , and an internal deflector wall (10) connected tangentially to the transition zone and coiling coaxially with the external wall through an angle of at least 30 degrees and at most 90 degrees . The first outlet is one or two tubes, each accessed by a hole pierced in one (each) of the vertical walls of the coiled zone. The outlet is coaxial with the coiled zone so the connection of the outlet and the deflector is tangential. The second outlet has a first wall (31) connected to the external wall of the coiled zone and a second wall (32) connected to the transition zone or the reactor. Also claimed is the use of the above separator where the reactor is a catalytic cracker of hydrocarbons.
