Abstract: Multi-joint stands (126,127) of drill pipe are assembled and
disassembled in a drilling rig (15) by use of a powered mousehole (11)
concurrently with well drilling operations conducted by use of a drill string top
drive system (23). The powered mousehole (11) has an upwardly open bowl
(45) in a floor (17) of the drilling rig which can be rotated about a vertical axis
(55). A pipe joint (110) held in the bowl, and depending from it, can be
screwed, with controlled levels of torque, into connection with a second pipe
joint (113) suspended vertically above the first joint (110) by a hoist system
(13) which is separate from hoisting equipment (19) carrying the top drive
system (23) over a well bore (21). The second pipe joint (113) is held from
rotation by a tong assembly (12), but can move axially against a yieldable
support (40) into threaded connection with the first joint (110).

Abstract: An apparatus and method for reprogramming a
reconfigurable-logic array is provided whereby a portion
of the array (15) can be reconfigured without disrupting
the operation of the entire array. Avoiding total
disruption of array operation typically requires that the
configuration controls signals, which determine the
configuration of the array, remain substantially non-disrupted
during a reprogramming operation. In one
embodiment, the reprogramming operates by unique decoding
in which an electrical path (12) is established only
between the particular storage elements being
reprogrammed, thereby avoiding disruption of the
configuration control signals provided by other storage
elements. In other embodiments, buffers and/or read-modify-write
techniques are used to minimize disruption
of configuration control signals of storage elements not
being reprogrammed.

Abstract: A printer (20) has a print head (26) with multiple nozzles (28) and an
encoder (32) to encode print head data into firing bits used to determine various
firing patterns of the print head nozzles. A decoder (36) is integrated on the print
head to decode the firing bits into firing pulses used to fire selected print head
nozzles. The encoder (32) encodes the print head data in such a manner that there
are fewer firing bits than there are possible firings controlled by the firing bits.
For instance, the encoder encodes the print head data such that "n" firing bits
define 2 n  firing levels (where "n" is an integer), with each firing level defining a
different number of firings. With the multi-level encoding, the encoder is able to
control more than n possible firings with each n firing bits.

Abstract: This invention employs a scheme to allow an input video
signal to undergo encoding, e.g., predictive encoding, DCT
processing, quantization at fixed quantization step size and
variable length encoding to generate first encoded data to
determine (calculate) allocated code quantity every frame or
every GOP on the basis of data quantity every predetermined time,
e.g., every frame or every GOP of the first encoded data and
total quantity of usable data to encode the input video signal
every predetermined time on the basis of the allocated code
quantity to generate second encoded data. Thus, variable rate
encoding such that encoding rate changes every predetermined time
is realized. As a result, even if pictures (frames) of
complicated are successive, there is no possibility that
quantization step size is caused to be large with respect to
these pictures as in the conventional apparatus. Thus, uniform
high picture quality can be obtained through the entirety. 
     Further, since second encoded data obtained in a manner as
described above has variable rate, in the case where such encoded
data is recorded onto picture recording media, limited memory
capacity can be effectively used, and recording time of picture
recording media can be prolonged. In addition, picture data of
high picture quality uniform over the entirety can be reproduced
from the picture recording media.

Abstract: A device for limiting the flow of a fluid from a first region of a patient's body
to a second region includes a primary passage for directing fluid from an inlet of the
device to an outlet in response to the fluid flow rate being less than a predetermined
level and a secondary passage for directing fluid from the inlet to the outlet in
response to the flow rate being greater than or equal to the predetermined level. The
secondary passage can be characterized as a tortuous flow path and presents a higher
resistance to fluid flow than the primary passage. A detector is operative to close the
primary passage in response to the flow rate reaching the predetermined level in order
to force the fluid to pass through the secondary passage. With this arrangement, when
the fluid flow rate reaches a level characteristic of overdrainage, the fluid is forced
through the secondary passage in order to effectively reduce the fluid flow rate and
prevent overdrainage. As soon as the flow rate decreases below the predetermined
level, the primary passage opens itself automatically.

Abstract: A vibration buffering device is constructed in a lightweight and compact fashion,
the number of parts is reduced, the assembling operation can be simplified, and
generation of a noise is prevented. An annular passage (22) and accommodating recesses (23,24),
which open into the passage in pairs, are defined in a damper housing (21) integral with a
first mass member (11). First coil springs (29) are retained on spring holders (28) inserted in the
passage, and second coil springs (30) are accommodated in the accommodating recesses.
A transmitting arm (31), placed into the passage, is coupled to a second mass member (12)
which is capable of being angularly displaced about the same axis relative to the first
mass member. In a power non-transmitting state, opposite ends of the second coil
springs are received by opposite ends of the accommodating recesses and are in
contact with opposite ends of the spring holders. When a relative angular displacement
is produced between both the mass members, the transmitting arm is turned relative to
the damper housing, while compressing the first coil springs, so as to come into
abutment against one end of the second coil springs.
