Abstract: An apparatus for and method of controlling the cooling rate of a metallic melt in the production of a semi-solid slurry billet for use in a casting process. The apparatus comprises a thermal jacket including symmetrical halves, with each half having a rounded heat transfer surface extending between a pair of longitudinal edges. An actuator mechanism engages the heat transfer surfaces into intimate contact with a vessel containing the metallic melt to effectuate conductive heat transfer between the vessel and the thermal jacket, with the pairs of longitudinal edges of each halve being disposed in a generally opposite, spaced relationship. The thermal jacket includes a plurality of passageways adapted to carry cooling air for extracting heat from the metallic melt, and a plurality of electric heating elements for adding heat to the metallic melt. The cooling rate of the metallic melt is controlled within a range of about 0.1 degrees Celsius per second to about 10 degrees Celsius per second by regulating the flow of cooling air through the passageways and by regulating activation of the heating elements. The thermal jacket includes fluid manifolds disposed at opposite ends of the thermal jacket to distribute and direct the flow of cooling air, and a plurality of exhaust ports extending between each of the passageways to an exterior surface of the thermal jacket to discharge heat laden cooling air in a lateral direction.

Abstract: A communications network (e.g. fibre to the home (FTTH) or wireless) comprises a head end, to which outstations are coupled via a shared point-to-multipoint medium. The head end is arranged to transmit downstream to the outstations a sequence of frames comprising data frames and command frames. The command frames marshal control of upstream transmissions from the outstations. A first downstream command frame directed to a specific outstation indicates the beginning of a timeslot, and also indicates the time slot duration (including an indefinite duration). Where the duration is indefinite, a second command frame directed to at least the same outstation indicates the end of the allotted time slot. Further methods are provided to optimise timeslot allocation, and to support addition and removal of outstations on the network.

Abstract: A switch comprises voltage applying means for providing direct current potentials to first to third beams arranged with a spacing slightly distant one from another, and electrodes for inputting/outputting signals to/from the beams. By controlling the direct current potential provided to the beam, an electrostatic force is caused to thereby change the beam positions and change a capacitance between the beams. By causing an electrostatic force between the first and second beams and moving the both beams, the first and second beams can be electrically coupled together at high speed. Also, an electrostatic force is caused on the third beam arranged facing to the first and second beams, to previously place it close to the first and second beams. When the electrostatic force is released from between the first and second beams, the second beam moves toward the third beam thereby releasing the first and second beams of an electric coupling. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE>

Abstract: In one aspect, the invention divides an audio signal into auditory events, each of which tends to be perceived as separate and distinct, by calculating the spectral content of successive time blocks of the audio signal, calculating the difference in spectral content between successive time blocks of the audio signal, and identifying an auditory event boundary as the boundary between successive time blocks when the difference in the spectral content between such successive time blocks exceeds a threshold. In another aspect, the invention generates a reduced-information representation of an audio signal by dividing an audio signal into auditory events, each of which tends to be perceived as separate and distinct, and formatting and storing information relating to the auditory events. Optionally, the invention may also assign a characteristic to one or more of the auditory events. Auditory events may be determined according to the first aspect of the invention or by another method.

Abstract: Steering and bit lines (of a flash EEPROM system, for example) are segmented along columns of a memory cell array. In one embodiment, the steering and bit lines of one of their segments are connected at a time to respective global steering and bit lines. The number of rows of memory cells included in individual steering gate segments is a multiple of the number of rows included in individual bit line segments in order to have fewer steering gate segments. This saves considerable circuit area by reducing the number of segment selecting transistors necessary for the steering gates, since these transistors must be larger than those used to select bit line segments in order to handle higher voltages. In another embodiment, local steering gate line segments are combined in order to reduce their number, and the reduced number of each segment is then connected directly with an address decoder, without the necessity of a multiplicity of large switching transistors outside of the decoder to select the segment.
