Title: Pressure relief vent
Inventor: ROSS RICHARD J
IPC: E21B34/06
Filed: 1997-05-16
Abstract: A pressure relief vent for a wireline pressure setting tool is disclosed. The chamber within the setting tool 40 is vented through an assembly which features a rupture disk 42 secured over an opening in the chamber wall 38 with an O-ring seal 44. A piercing tool (see figure 4) is used to create a break in the rupture disk 42 in a manner that will not reseal. The rupture disk 42 is shaped to aid this break, as shown a circular groove 46 is provided in rupture disk 42. The piercing tool can also be shaped (see figure 7) to allow the pressure to be relived, for example the tip of the piercing tool can be semicircular, whilst the hole it creates as it is turned will be circular, thus the piercing tool will not seal the hole in the rupture disk 42. Lateral passages 84 are provided to direct the vented gases away from operating personnel. An alternative venting mechanism is provided by having a thin wall segment which can be penetrated by a piercing tool in the event the rupture disk assembly for any reason fails to allow venting of the setting tool.

Patent GB-2322718-A (GB)
Title: Dynamic classification and dispatch of instructions out of order
Inventor: HICKS TROY NEAL
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 1997-12-09
Abstract: A pre-execution queue PEQ 42 stores instructions for an information handling system, and schedules the issuing of these instructions to at least one execution cluster 54, 56, each comprising an early, 46, 50, and a late, 48, 52, execution unit. Each execution unit executes an instruction dispatched from PEQ 42, and generates and forwards a result to another unit for execution of a further instruction. This result data forwarding takes longer if it is between units of different clusters. In particular, a result from early unit 46 is available to late unit 48 in the same cluster 54 in the same clock cycle. The instruction scheduling takes into account this non-uniform forwarding of result data (for example, by "pairing" dependent instructions and issuing them to the same cluster), and ensures that only instructions whose operands are available are scheduled. PEQ 42 classifies and groups the instructions into buckets with associated selection priorities (fig. 6). Instructions can be dynamically reassigned to buckets in response to execution delays and priority conflicts.

Title: Image processing apparatus and control method therefor
Inventor: HIROSAWA TAKAYUKI
IPC: H04N1/23
Filed: 1998-05-18
Abstract: A prediction section 101 sends a prediction signal to a heater control section 104 when receiving a document setting signal from a sensor 51 for detecting a presence of a document or a book door open signal from a book door open/close sensor 52. The heater control section turns on power of the heater 501 in fixer roller 118 of a print section 5. Thereafter, a print control section 105 executes a print operation when a print designation is operated, and turns off power of the heater when no print designation is operated within a fixed period of time or a transmission designation is operated. Therefore, power of the heater is turned on prior to instruction of a print start, and this allows the reduction of time from the operator's instruction of the print start to the actual print start.
Patent GB-2328277-A (GB)
Title: Air conditioning apparatus
Inventor: ITO KOICHI
IPC: B60H1/32
Filed: 1998-07-27
Abstract: In an air conditioning apparatus, an evaporator (21) is disposed in an air-conditioning case (30) to be inclined relative to a horizontal direction and to form a lower space (50) below the evaporator (21). Air flows through the evaporator (21) from a lower side toward an upper side thereof in the air-conditioning case (30). The lower space (50) is partitioned by a partition member (33a) into an air-blown space (50a) and a drain space (50b), and a drain guide member (33b) is disposed in the drain space (50b) to approximately contact a lower end portion (32) of the inclined evaporator (21), where condensed water is gathered. Therefore, it can prevent air from hitting from below against the lower end portion (32) of the evaporator (21). Consequently, the condensed water that has been gathered at the lower end portion (32) of the inclined evaporator (21) can be discharged rapidly along the drain guide member (33b) without being affected by the flow of air, and drips to a bottom surface (30a) of the air-conditioning case (30). Thus, draining-efficiency of condensed water generated on the evaporator (21) can be improved effectively.

Title: Network monitoring display
Inventor: DRUMMOND-MURRAY JUSTIN
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 1998-08-26
Abstract: The occurrences of collision and activity in a computer network are indicated by activation of one or more visual indication devices. The or each device is activated for periods which are longer than the actual periods of collision and activity to permit the human eye to register the visual indications. This is particularly useful for high speed networks (100MBS) where the periods of collision and activity may be very brief. Time is divided into sequential time periods of 120ms and sub-periods of 30ms. The activity indication is continued until the end of the sub-period in which the activity occurred. The collision indication is continued for the whole of the first sub-period of any given period if collision occurred at any time during the preceding period.
