Abstract: Articles (A 1 ,A 2 ,A 3 , of random length (L) are conveyed in single file while being transferred from a first driven conveyor (42) to a second driven conveyor (24). The second conveyor (24) is driven faster than the first conveyor (42) so that an initial gap (GI) is established between the articles (A 1 ,A 2 ,A 3 ). Front (F) and rear ends (R) of the articles (A 1 ,A 2 ,A 3 ) are sensed (44) while traveling along the second conveyor (24) toward a third conveyor (10). From that sensed information, there is determined an actual front-to-front distance (D) between the front end (F) of each article (A 1 ,A 2 ,A 3 ) to the front end (F) of the next article (A 1 ,A 2 ,A 3 ). The speed of the second conveyor (24) is varied, as necessary, to create a desired minimum front-to-front distance (D') between successive articles (A 1 ,A 2 ,A 3 ). Optionally, that minimum front-to-front distance (D') is established while ensuring that a minimum gap (MG) is maintained between successive articles (A 1 ,A 2 A 3 )

Abstract: The intake opening for water-massage baths described has an internal valve member (24) the closure member (26) of which is movable between a shut-off or closure position in which it prevents water from flowing from inside the opening into the intake pipe (18) thereof and a fully-open position in which it allows water to flow through. 
     The closure member (26) is hinged on the body (12) of the opening and is movable in the direction of the flow of water entering the intake pipe (18). The closure member (26) is opened initially and partially by operating means (56) associated therewith, fall opening then taking place as a result of the flow of water which is brought from inside the opening into the intake pipe (18).

Abstract: This invention provides a sensor for the depletion of oxygen in a room in which a flammable fluid heater is housed. The heater is provided with a pilot burner which is sensitive to oxygen levels and a temperature sensor (2) which senses the output from the pilot burner. The output from the temperature sensor (2) itself can be used as an indicator of oxygen depletion within the room and compared against a stored value to close off the fuel supply to the heater should the temperature sensor (2) output fall below a predetermined level. 
     Additional features include the provision of a carbon monoxide sensor (9) linked to the heater so that the sensor is only in operation when the heater itself is turned on. Further, a second temperature sensor (14) to sense whether the appliance is in operation may be used to extinguish the pilot burner if it determines the appliance is not in use.

Abstract: In a radio display paging system, a transmitted paging signal either contains an optional confidential code and a message if the message is confidential or exclusively a non-confidential message. When the paging signal is received by a destination pager, the message contained in it is stored in a message memory. If the received signal contains a confidential code, a prompt is displayed for urging a user to enter a password. If either the entered password is valid or the paging signal contains no confidential code, the message in the memory is displayed. Otherwise, no message is displayed to protect a confidential message from unauthorized access.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une structure de prédiction de données destinée à un microprocesseur superscalaire. La structure de prédiction de données prédit une adresse de données à laquelle un groupe d'instructions va accéder tandis qu'un groupe d'instructions est en train d'être extrait de la mémoire cache d'instruction. Les octets de données associés à l'adresse prédite sont placés dans une mémoire tampon relativement petite et rapide. Les étages de décodage de pipelines de traitement d'instructions du microprocesseur ont accès à la mémoire tampon avec des adresses générées à partir des instructions, et si les octets de données associés sont trouvés dans la mémoire tampon, ils sont conduits à la station tampon associée à l'étage de décodage demandeur. Ainsi, la lecture de la mémoire implicite associée à une instruction est exécutée avant que l'instruction arrive dans une unité fonctionnelle. L'unité fonctionnelle est occupée par l'instruction pendant un plus petit nombre de cycles d'horloge puisqu'elle n'a pas besoin d'exécuter l'opération de mémoire implicite. Au lieu de cela, l'unité fonctionnelle exécute l'opération explicite indiquée par l'instruction.

Abstract: A low noise optical fiber Raman amplifier with integral Raman laser (FRA) is disclosed. The FRA typically comprises a fiber ring with at least two amplifier stages (21, 22), with strictly counter-propagating pump radiation. Relatively short wavelength (e.g., 1060 nm) pump power is provided to the Raman laser portion of the fiber ring. Appropriately selected and placed Bragg gratings (e.g., 204) provide one or more optical cavities in the fiber ring, such that the input pump radiation is converted to the desired amplifier pump radiation (e.g., 1240 nm, suitable for amplification of 1310 nm signal radiation). The FRA can, for instance, advantageously serve as power amplifier in digital or analog fiber communication systems, or it can serve as pre-amplifier or in-line amplifier.

Also claimed is an apparatus for aeration and aspersion of a liquid, used to recover the contents of a head (10) in a vinification vessel (8), in which the length of (1) is slightly longer than the depth of (10). The holes are situated at the lower end of (1) and are used to pass the liquid in one direction or another, the tube containing in its interior a turbine (4) with a means to rotate about (4a). The turbine rotates at the same speed as (4a) and (3) is either electrically or pneumatically powered, being coaxial to (1). The motor interlocks with the lower part of (1) with respect to its casing. The turbine comprises a helical spiral (4b) made from one or more turnings to give (4a), and further comprising a collar in the form of a corresponding exterior spiral, the assembly being designed to slip into the interior of (1).
