Patent EP-1731689-A3 (EP)
Inventor: UNDERWOOD DANIEL CHARLES
IPC: E04C5/16
Filed: 2006-06-06
Abstract: A connector assembly for concrete reinforcing bars comprises a seat section 21 and retainer 22 for use with the seat section 21 to connect bars having a semicircle loop at the ends. The seat section 21 is generally U-shaped and the retainer 22 is generally T-shaped. The seat section is symmetrical, the retainer is not, the bars are of uniform cross-section. A wedging action arises from the asymmetry of the retainer.The seat section has opposed lands in the form of posts 28 and 29, these posts have channels 30 and 31 which take the bar loop sections (not shown).The retainer has a central wedge 37 which, is operative to eliminate play between the bars and the parts of the connector to effectively form a rigid unit. This is accomplished by reason of the complex wedge action arising from a first wedge region adjacent the front at 38 on opposite sides of the wedge 37 and a second wedge region 39 which comprises a curved continuation of the wedge region 38 and a third wedge region at 40. Thus the first region tends to spread the bars while the second and third wedge regions tend to lift the bars.

Abstract: Circuitry for facilitating the use of the memory elements in the look-up tables ("LUTs") (20-1 to 20-8) of a field programmable gate array ("FPGA") as user-accessible, distributed RAM. For example, a register (80a,80b) associated with a LUT (20-1 to 20-8) and that is not needed in the read data path in user RAM mode can be used to register data for writing in user RAM mode. As another example, an otherwise unneeded register associated with a LUT can be used to provide a synchronous read address signal for user RAM mode. Several other features are shown for similarly facilitating user RAM mode with minimal (if any) additional circuitry being required in the FPGA.

Abstract: In this invention, when execution of an special function executable only by a second storage control apparatus connected to a first storage control apparatus is requested by a higher-level apparatus (4), the special function is caused to be executed by a second storage control apparatus, and appropriate load balancing is achieved. An executing apparatus judgment section (1A2), upon receiving an execution request from a host, uses a function management section (1A3) and a state detection section (1A4) to decide which storage control apparatus should execute the function. An execution instruction section (1A5) issues an instruction to execute the function to the function execution section (2A1, 3A1) of the storage control apparatus determined to be the executing apparatus. By this means, even in the case of an special function executable only by a storage control apparatus, the function can be caused to be executed. Hence a connection source storage control apparatus (1) can appear to have increased functionality, without installing the function on the connection source storage control apparatus.

Abstract: A cutting tool 6-0 cuts along the butted portion between two members 10, 20. A filling material 30 is inserted to the gap 40 formed by said cutting, and a roller 70 presses protrusions 12 and 22 to crimp said protrusions 12 and 22 so as to fix said filling material to position. Next, friction stir welding is performed to the protrusions 12, 22 and the filling material 30 using a rotary tool 80. In another example, instead of cutting, the filling material can be welded and filled to the gap. In yet another example, cutting can be performed so as to approximate the two members before performing the friction stir welding step.

Abstract: The board is produced mainly using textile fibres, has a high sound-damping capacity and is constructed in the form of a flat or three-dimensional decorative panel which may also be modular. It is used to improve the acoustic and furnishing properties of environments, the constructional characteristics of which may result in undesirable resonance and/or reverberation. The board consists of a fibrous mass which performs the sound-damping function. The aesthetic function is performed by the visible external surface of the fibrous mass. This surface may be flat or in three-dimensional relief, coloured or printed or patterned. The pattern may extend as far as the sides, or a frame made of other material may be provided. By way of the desired aesthetic effect, the surface may be more or less smooth, or embossed, or knurled. The board may consist of several layers, one of which, being optional, has the function of a resonator. The board is formed by means of a pressing operation at a suitable temperature with mechanical or manual shaping where required.

Abstract: The delivery of content across a wireless communication link (25) is based on a mobility state associated (110) with a wireless transceiver. The system employs pricing tiers, which represent each subscriber's mobility-based privileges to specific content. That is, a mobile user can be charged a premium to maintain the same quality of service as a stationary user. The impact of mobility is thus felt by the mobile subscriber, either by experiencing reduced bandwidth or through higher subscription fees. By limited content delivery, the impact of motion and similar phenomenon on the wireless resources as a whole can be reduced.
