Inventor: ALTOUNIAN GEORGES NAPOLEON
IPC: C08G18/79
Filed: 1989-03-15
Abstract: A method for the manufacture of polyester polyols is disclosed. The method comprises feeding to a reactor at least one aliphatic carboxylic acid or ester thereof, at least one secondary dihydric alcohol and at least one primary trihydric alcohol, heating the resultant admixture and removing water. When at least 95% of the water has been removed, additional primary trihydric alcohol is added and heating is continued. The reactants are selected so that the range of molecular weights thereof is not more than 100. A block polyester polyol is obtained. Polyurethanes obtained from the polyester polyol tend to have more uniform and superior properties. The polyurethanes may be used in variety of end uses.

Abstract: An application program (100) includes an action processor (101) which receives messages containing user syntactic actions. These actions are translated into semantic commands. The semantic commands are sent to a command processor (102) for execution. 
     The preferred embodiment of the computing system additionally includes an agent engine (108). The agent engine (108) may be used to perform many functions. It may be used to receive semantic commands from an application (100), and to record the semantic commands for later playback. It may be used to send semantic commands from a task language file (131) to an application program (100) for execution by the command processor (102). It may be used to intercept semantic commands sent from the action processor (101) to the command processor (102). After the command is intercepted, the agent engine (108) may be used to allow the semantic command to be executed, to prevent the semantic command from being executed.

Abstract: A train of signals is generated by clocking an 8 bit word from an 8 bit shift register 10 which has been loaded with the initial data word. The register 8 is provided with feed-back loop 11 as shown. The serial data is supplied along a communication link 12 to a similar or identical 8 bit shift register 13 at the receiving end of the link 12. A comparator 14 is arranged to compare the output data of the register 13 with the first stage of the register 13 and to provide an accept signal provided such comparison indicates inversions at the receipt of each bit for 9 bits onwards. After transmission of 24 bits, the shift register 13 contains the 8 bit data word, which has been checked twice for any inaccuracy generally resulting from the transmission problems.

Abstract: A sequence of events detector is described that provides a way to continuously monitor one or more digital signals and precisely define the b ehavior that the signals must exhibit in order to qualify as the sequence of events that the user wishes to detect or trigger on. 
     A plurality of evaluation windows, all connected in parallel to the signal or signals to be examined, sequentially examine the behavior of the signal or signals, comparing this behavior with predefined criteria. Each of the evaluation windows are activated to begin their portion of the overall evaluation when they receive a match signal from the preceding window indicating that its criteria were met. Because each window is an independent process that activates the next process as soon as its own criteria are satisfied, the signals are continuously evaluated and there are no unintended "don't care" periods. Also, multiple evaluations of the signal or signals can be conducted concurrently by different evaluation windows, so that similar sequences of events arriving in close succession can still be effectively evaluated.

The supervisory slave unit (8, 10) has an operation switch (7, 9), and outputs a first signal representing an operation change of the operation switch (7, 9) and the supervisory slave unit (8, 10). The photosensor slave unit (5) outputs a second signal representing a change of a level of an illuminance detected by a photosensor (6) and the photosensor slave unit (5). The control slave unit (3) controls at least one illumination load (4). In addition, the master unit (1) controls the control slave unit (3) assigned in a memory in response to the first signal from the supervisory slave unit (8, 10) and the second signal from the photosensor slave unit (5). When the master unit (1) receives the first signal representing the supervisory slave unit (8, 10), the illumination load (4) is inverted. When the master unit (1) receives the second signal representing the photosensor slave unit (5), and the illuminance is higher than a preset level, the illumination load (4) is turned off. Only when the illuminance is lower than the preset level and the oper­ation switch (7, 9) of the supervisory slave unit (8, 10) is ON, the illumination load (4) is turned on.

Abstract: Devices for processing two video signals are used in, among other things, productions in television studios, for titling in camcorder recordings, for superimposition of foreground and background scenes in video plays and so forth. It has been found in practice that it is frequently difficult to design a title before the actual recording. To utilise the possibilities for artistically designing productions, the device consists of a camcorder and a video recorder connected to it via at least two cables. After a switch arranged at the camcorder has been manually operated, a processing of the video signals supplied via the two cables is carried out in the video recorder. The device according to the invention is particularly suitable for subsequent titling of camcorder recordings. <IMAGE>

Abstract: network control arrangement where two or more path hunt operations are performed in parallel using one or both of two techniques: 1) reading a memory for a second path hunt operation during the time that information read from the memory for a first path hunt operation is being processed to select a path, and 2) maintaining duplicate memories and reading from them both to perform two path hunt operations before either memory is updated. A disjoint path check unit rapidly determines whether any of the network paths from a first inlet to a first outlet conflict with any network paths from a second network inlet to a second outlet. Plural path hunts are performed only when there is no conflict.
