Title: Tap reseater
Inventor: DARLING JOHN PETER
IPC: B23C3/05
Filed: 1997-07-29
Abstract: A quickly adjustable tap reseater comprises a externally threaded tapering outer member 10 adapted to be engaged with a tap body, a guide sleeve 14 extending axially through an axial bore 12 through the outer member 10 and adjustable axially therein. An operating spindle 18 extends rotatably through bore 16 in the guide sleeve 14 and carries a tap cutter bit 24 at its lower end and a knob 20 at its upper end. The bore 12 through the outer member is smooth and the guide sleeve 14 is externally smooth and is a close sliding fit in bore 12. A resilient C-shaped clip 28 is pivotally supported on the upper face of the member 10 for movement between a position in which it frictionally engages the exterior of the guide sleeve 14 to restrain the latter from moving axially within the outer member 10 and a position in which it is disengaged from the guide sleeve 14 to allow axial adjustment of the latter in the outer member whereby the guide sleeve can be fixed with respect to the outer member in any of a plurality of selectable positions. A power drive socket is provided in the knob 20.

Title: Bus access priority control in MPEG processor
Inventor: WU WEN-YI
IPC: H04N21/443
Filed: 1997-09-23
Abstract: An adaptive-selection method for memory access priority control in MPEG processor. The processor has functional modules that include an input interface, a CPU, an audio decoder, a video decoder, an audio processor, a video processor and a memory controller. Each of the modules gains control over the data bus via arbitration by the memory controller for accessing the memory. The access priority of the CPU to the data bus is maintained at a relatively lower level except when the CPU needs to perform parsing 330 on the MPEG compressed data and implementing the initial decoding 320 of the audio compressed data. The use of data bus bandwidth is therefore balanced among all the system resources thereby increasing the overall system performance.

Title: Window stay with latch for selective locking
Inventor: LANAWAY RONALD PHILIP
IPC: E05D15/30
Filed: 1998-01-09
Abstract: In a stay of the type having a track with links connected to the track through at least one slider, there is provided on each slider a latching component whereby the stay may be moved to a selected open position by releasing a selected latching component. The latch component may be resilient and biased in a direction away from the base of the track and into engagement with the retaining walls of the track, and may have two parts formed at an angle to one another but retained in a substantially planar condition to provide resilience. The latch component comprises a body part preferably of moulded plastics with legs overlying the walls of the track and functioning as spacers, and a latching clip (62) mounted on the body part preferably made of stainless steel. Shoulders (68) engage with cutouts (86,88, figure 1) in the retaining walls when the latch is in its locked position. Manual pressure on the latching strip disengages the shoulders (68) from the cutouts to allow movement of the slider to a further open position. The shoulders may have an angled end to facilitate latching engagement.

Title: Associative memory
Inventor: TAKESHI SHINDO
IPC: G11C15/04
Filed: 1998-02-02
Abstract: In an associative memory, a cell array for one bit is constituted by a plurality of columns (m rows) and a plurality (m) of data match signal lines ML11-MLn4 arranged to constitute a single row, along one row in the memory cell array, m memory cells for each bit are respectively connected to m data match signal lines ML11-MLn4, a bit line pair BL11-BL14, BLb1-BLb4, along which information is transmitted to a memory circuit in a memory cell, is separated from a data search line pair 111,121 ;11b,12b, along which information is transmitted to a comparator in a memory cell, and the paired data search lines 111,121 ;11b,12b are located on either side of the memory cell, so that in a memory cell array for an individual bit, adjacent memory cells along the same row employ one of the paired data search lines 111,121 ;11b,12b located between the memory cells. A further aspect relates to the number of data match signal lines being equal to the number of columns (m) and the number of data search lines for one row of a cell array being one greater (m+ 1) than the number of columns. Memory cells (Figs 5 and 7) having memory circuits (311, 411) and comparators (312, 412) using NMOS and PMOS transistors are described. The memory has a low power consumption, for which data reading/writing can be performed and for which the operational speed is not decreased.

Title: Method for avoiding data loss in a packet switch
Inventor: WOOD ROBERT GEOFFREY
IPC: H04L47/30
Filed: 1998-08-28
Abstract: Packets transmitted over a data bus 14 from an incoming I/O (input/output) port 10a to an outgoing I/O port 10b are also stored in a shadow buffer 46. When the buffer 42 of an output port is full, a detector 44 asserts a buffer overflow error signal informing the shadow buffer controller 48 that the packet should be retained in the shadow buffer for later retransmission to the output port. The buffer overflow detector asserts a buffer available signal when room becomes available in the output port buffer and the packet is then forwarded from the shadow buffer to the port. The shadow buffer acts as a centralized memory resource for temporary storage of data packets which would otherwise be lost during transmission due to a full buffer in the outgoing port. The shadow buffer may be either a first-in-first-out (FIFO) memory or a random access memory (RAM) which may be indexed by an I/O port number.

Title: Pedal travel limitation in electro-hydraulic (EHB) braking systems
Inventor: HARRIS ALAN LESLIE
IPC: B60T13/68
Filed: 1998-11-27
Abstract: An electro-hydraulic braking system capable of operating in a braking-by-wire mode wherein hydraulic pressure is applied to braking devices 18a-18d in proportion to the driver's demand as sensed electronically at brake pedal 10, in a push-though mode wherein hydraulic pressure is applied from master cylinder 34 directly to the braking devices, and in an ABS mode in which the braking pressures at the individual wheels are controlled in dependence, inter alia, on their detected rotational behaviour, includes a hydraulic travel simulator 38 which is connected to the master cylinder via an electrically controlled isolation valve 36 for providing feel for the driver through the brake pedal in the push-through operating mode, valve 36 being closed when the ABS mode is active. This ensures that the brake pedal cannot be pushed beyond a position corresponding to a wheel-locking pressure, and thereby enables the driver to more easily modulate the brake pressure and avoid excessive deceleration if the road adhesion improves.

Title: Rubbish conveyor apparatus and method to control the contents of rubbish canal
Inventor: HERM HARTMUT
IPC: C10B31/06
Filed: 1994-08-04
Abstract: A conveyor for waste has a waste feed shaft which is laterally connected to a horizontally divided conveyor channel. A screw conveyor being drivable by a motor is located in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor channel. The conveyor channel opens into a housing, in particular into a pyrolysis reactor, which by way of example is operated in conjunction with a low-temperature carbonization combustion process. In order to easily eliminate blockages of the screw conveyor, a unit formed of the screw conveyor and the conveyor channel is disconnectably secured to the housing and is removable from the housing through the use of a traveling mounting. A method for inspecting the contents of a conveyor channel receiving waste and discharging into a housing, especially a pyrolysis reactor, includes disconnecting the conveyor channel from the housing, driving the conveyor channel away with a traveling mounting, and opening the conveyor channel.
