Patent EP-0480595-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PHILIPS STEVEN JOHN
IPC: F24B1/18
Filed: 1991-09-24
Abstract: In a gas fire, the radiant heat output from imitation coal pieces 2 caused to radiate by flames from a burner 1 is supplemented by convective air drawn into the base of the fire and passing through duct 6 before emerging through outlets 7, the duct being transversed by flue tubes 8, 9, 10, 11 to which combustion gases from the burner pass in the direction of the arrows B. 
     A problem with such a fire is if the flue outlet 12 become blocked because the flow of gases reverses direction relative to the arrows B and the burner then combusts within unsafe limits if the doors 4, 5 are closed. To overcome this some of the flue tubes 8, 10 are provided with openings 10a, partially shielded by shield 22, to allow escape of recirculating combustion products into the convection duct, thereby allowing the burner to continue operation in safe limits in the event of flue blockage.

Abstract: The present invention is a method for forming an electrode-lead assembly. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of aligning the energy outlet of an energy source with an end portion of the lead, operating the energy source so that the emitted energy heats the end of the lead and so that a melt is formed at the end portion of the lead, and allowing the melt to solidify. The solidified melt is bullet-shaped and serves as an electrode.

Abstract: Digital information recorded in a track (T a.i ) on a tape-like magnetic record carrier (20) can be read out again when the record carrier is transported in a specific direction. The transport direction of the record carrier when the information is recorded may be similar or opposite to the direction in which the information is reproduced. This implies that as a function thereof a first or second equalization filter (F₁, F₂) is to be used during reproduction so as to realise a first or second filtering of the information that is read out. For this purpose, markers (M₁, M₂) are introduced on the record carrier (20) or the cassette (61). From these markers there may be derived whether the side being read out at a specific moment has been recorded in a transport direction similar or opposite to the transport direction during reproduction.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are set forth which enable a data communications network (1) to perform decentralised uplink network control functions (decentralised away from the centralised general communications controller (GCC) level of the network hierarchy); (2) to minimise, or in some cases eliminate, the overhead expended in making power lever (signal strength) determinations and assessments at both the GCC and base station levels of the network hierarchy (for the purpose of managing uplink communications); and (3) to allow individual subscriber radios (terminals) to dynamically determine the most desirable base station to communicate with when exchanging information a host computer via a shared RF communication channel (the link between a terminal and the base station). Additionally, an illustrative radio frequency data communication network, built in accordance with the teachings of the invention as a modified version of an existing network, is described where the modified network incorporates the aforementioned methods and apparatus.

Abstract: A multi-media network bus (MMN-Bus) and Controller (MMNC) serve as a distribution medium between a single high-speed network and multiple user network interfaces (UNIs). The MMNC allocates multiple isochronous channels and packet channels for distribution to the users over the MMN-Bus. The MMNC sends information in standard time segments or master cycles. Following transmission of a start signal, a series of control blocks is sent. The first type of control block is used for communication from the MMNC to each UNI. The second type of control block is used for transmissions from each UNI to the MMNC. Both types of control blocks are used for call setup, call acknowledgement, channel allocation, call end and packet data request. Following transmission of both sets of control blocks, a signal is sent to indicate the beginning of a sequence of isochronous transfers. Each UNI tracks the number of signals, identifying those signals which it should either receive or transmit. Following the end of the isochronous channel transmissions, two things occur. First, the MMNC sends the address either of itself or the address of a UNI. (This address is sent continuously until the end of the transmission of the related packet.) Subsequently, a start packet signal is sent which indicates the beginning of the packet transmission by the unit whose address was sent. Each packet contains a destination address. Each UNI and the MMNC check the destination address against their own address: if it matches, the device receives the packet. An end packet signal indicates the end of the transmission of the first packet.

A control register (602) is provided for receiving mode data and generating a mode select signal representative of the program selected mode of one-shot or continuous. A gate (620) is provided for gating timing data in to the timer counter (622) from the input register (600) on a one-shot basis when the mode select signal is in one-shot mode and repeatedly gating timing data in to the timer counter from the input register when said mode select signal is in a second or continuous state when the timer counter reaches the count. A clock signal to said timer counter (622) is provided until the timer counter reaches the count when said mode select signal is in a first or one-shot state, and for re-enabling the gate each time the timer counter reaches the count and continuously providing a clock signal when the mode select signal is in the second or continuous state.

Abstract: A system (10) for recording on a rewritable (erasable) optical disk (12) is provided which reduces the data integrity exposure and negative performance impact of separate erase and write passes when writing data to such a disk in a disk drive. In a preferred embodiment, the system includes a non-volatile storage buffer established and maintained by a driver at a level below the file system. Space in the buffer is kept pre-erased for temporarily storing blocks of data transmitted by a host device (38) and destined for sectors in a logical partition on a rewritable optical disk. Mapping and control information are also maintained in the buffer. In a background operation, transparent to the host, the blocks of data are copied from the buffer to their destination sectors in the logical partition. The buffer can be located on the optical disk itself or can be on a separate device, such as non-volatile random access memory or magnetic media. The present invention eliminates data exposure between the erase and write passes of a typical two- or three-pass write operation while enhancing performance by eliminating the erase pass immediately before a write.
