Abstract: The present invention is related to a file server particularly suited for video-on-demand service based on decentralization of files contained in the nodes over a configuration formed by nodes serving a single user or multiple users, each equipped with a magnetic or optical mass memory unit. Such nodes are designed to serve not only their own users but also other nodes of the decentralized file server so that files incoming to the node can be distributed forward to at least two other nodes of the server. A file fetched by several users simultaneously is copied automatically into a plurality of nodes in the file server. This arrangement permits the data transfer rate required from the magnetic or optical memory units to be defined as a constant which is independent from the number of users, mode of use and file server size without any compromise in the performance of the file server.

Title: Improvements in and relating to cigarette making apparatus
IPC: A24C5/34
Filed: 1958-01-10
Abstract: 887,268. Automatic weight-control systems. INDUSTRIAL NUCLEONICS CORPORATION. Jan. 10, 1958 [Feb. 20, 1957], No. 1060/58. Class 38 (4). In an automatic control system for a cigarettemaking apparatus the ratio of the speed of a tobacco-feed to the speed of a driving arrangement for a rod-forming mechanism is controlled by the relationship between a signal from a device sensing the mass of the rod and a reference signal so as to maintain the weight per unit length of the formed cigarette rod constant. As shown, tobacco from an hopper 10 is fed via a feed apparatus comprising drums 14, 18, 22 and an endless belt 28 to a rodforming mechanism comprising a rod-former 64, a paster 66 and a sealer 68. A constantspeed motor 78 directly drives the rod-forming mechanism and drives the feed apparatus through a variable gearing 92 controlled by the angular position of a shaft 98. The mass of the cigarette rod is sensed by a beta-counter 102 responsive to the attenuated radiation from a source 100. The signal from the betacounter develops a voltage across a resistor 106 of opposite polarity to the voltage from a calibrating network 116. The resistor and calibrating network are connected between the output and input of an amplifier 108, forming an impedance matching device so that a voltage representing the cigarette weight per unit length exists between lines 114, 112. The voltage from a network 130, representative of the desired cigarette weight per unit length, is compared with the voltage of line 114 and the difference applied through a lead network 148 to an amplifier 156 which energizes a servomotor 158 to position the shaft 98 through a gear-box 160 so as to vary the ratio of the rodmechanism and feed apparatus speeds so as to maintain the cigarette weight per unit length constant. Rate feedback is applied to the input of the amplifier 156 from a tacho-generator 162. The fluctuating signal from a photo-cell 204 sensing the delivery of cut cigarettes to a belt 76 is amplified by an amplifier 210 and rectified by a bridge rectifier 214. The resultant direct current signal, having an amplitude dependent on the rate of delivery of cigarettes, is applied as a positive bias to the grid of a thyratron 236. An interruption in the delivery of cigarettes reduces the anode-current of the thyratron to release a relay 230. A contact 230a disconnects the supply to the servomotor 158, a contact 230b short-circuits the amplifier 108 and a contact 230c de-energizes a solenoid 302 to release a protective shutter 300. It is stated that the signal to the amplifier 210 may be derived from the fluctuation in the voltage on line 114. A meter 118 indicates deviation in the cigarette weight from a desired value. Specifications 873,639, 887,267 and U.S.A. Specification 1,864,728 are referred to.
