Title: Improved elevator selector
Inventor: FARRAR DENNIS
IPC: B66B1/46
Filed: 2002-08-23
Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved elevator selector system. One embodiment incorporates all of the operational and A17 code required car position sensing functions into a single car mounted enclosure, without any external mechanical roller switches, by incorporating directional limits, normal terminal slow down and emergency terminal speed limiting functions into a tape selector. All operational and sensing functions may be implemented using a standard 3-inch wide tape by disposing of magnetic signalers on the opposite side of the tape from the side used for leveling and floor identification. An alignment tool facilitates placement of magnets. Tape guides permit the selector to run smoothly along the tape.  Optical rather than magnetic sensors may be used for quadrature hole counting to detect relative speed and location without interfering with other magnetic functions. All selector components may be tethered to the selector enclosure to prevent accidental loss down the hoistway.  Structural foam and heavy internal gussets may be used for the selector enclosure. Alignment pins on the selector enclosure facilitate component installation. Stress distributing nut plates create a strong interface between the selector enclosure and steel mounting bracket.

Title: Method and apparatus for termination detection in an adsl environment
Inventor: GROSSEL DAVID
IPC: H04B3/46
Filed: 2001-01-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus that will detect the presence of terminations in an ADSL environment is presented. The presently disclosed method and apparatus applies a slowly ramped voltage to the subscriber loop while measuring the current flow. The ramped voltage is able to pass through the inductors. The rate of current flow is discernible as the zener diodes of the Half Ringer, the Premises Splitter, and any Electronic Ringer start to conduct. Thus the detection in time (voltage) of devices that may be on the line under test is  achieved. By analysis of a graph of the current in the line as the ramped voltage is applied, changes in the graph provide an indication that a termination is present. The location of the change in current with respect t o the applied voltage provides an indication of the type of termination detect ed.

Title: Method of "split-brain" prevention in computer cluster systems
Inventor: PRICE DANIEL M
IPC: G06F11/20
Filed: 2001-12-19
Abstract: A method for increasing the availability of a first server (210) included in a computer cluster when a second server (220) fails. Each server (210, 220) in the computer cluster has an associated mass storage device 214, 224 and can process requests from any network device (230, 240, 250) in the computer cluster. Data is mirrored between the mass storage devices (214, 224) of the servers (210, 220) so that each server's mass storage device has a complete copy of all computer cluster data. Data mirroring takes place across a dedicated link (202), which reduces congestion on the rest of the computer cluster. When the first server (210) detects a loss of communication from the second server (220), the first server (210) determines if the loss of communication is a result of a malfunction of the dedicated link (202). If the dedicated link (202) has failed, the first server (210) discontinues operation to avoid writing data to its associated mass storage device (214), which cannot be mirrored due to the loss of communication. If the dedicated link (202) is operational, the first server (210) continues operation. In either case, since each server (210, 220) can process requests from any network device (230, 240, 250) and each server has a complete copy of all the network data, the computer cluster continues to be available for use even after a server is shut down.

Abstract: Physical objects, including still and moving images, sound/audio and text are transformed into more compact forms for identification and other purposes using a method unrelated to existing image-matching systems which rely on feature extraction. An auxiliary construct, preferably a warp grid, is associated with an object, and a series of transformations are imposed to generate a unique visual key for identification, comparison, and other operations. Search methods are also disclosed for matching an unknown image to one previously represented in a visual key database. Broadly, a preferred search method sequentially examines candidate database images for their closeness of match in a sequential order determined by their a priori match probability.
