Abstract: In addition to known elements such as a minute hand (1), second hand (2), minute dial (4) and date display (3), the inventive clock has an hour dial on a two-looped curve (limaçon) (7), comprising an outer loop (8) for the hours of the day from 0600 to 1800 and an inner loop for the hours of the night from 1800 to 0600, with a point at which the two loops (8, 9) intersect (6) at 0600/1800. The hour hand (5) is configured with an adjustable length for a clearer display. A guiding element is moved azimutally in a second curve (10) by the inner part of the hour hand (5), said inner curve being radially inwardly offset from the first curve (7) by a constant amount and being e.g., milled into the clock face in a groove shape. The guiding element is subjected to a superimposed radial movement as a result of the shape of the second curve (10). The second curve (10) with the guiding element is covered by a disk (11) which is connected to the inner part of the hour hand (5) and rotates with the same.

Patent CA-2362092-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BERRETH STEVEN P
IPC: D06F87/00
Filed: 2001-11-14
Abstract: A steamer for generating steam. The steamer includes an enclosure having a steam generator therein, and a hose extending from the enclosure to a steam-applying wand. When a user desires steam, the user turns on the steamer, which preheats the steam generator to a steam-producing temperature. Once the steam generator is ready, the user actuates the production of steam, for example by pressing a button on the wand. A pump draws water out of a water tank and to the steam generator. The steam generator flashes the water to steam, thus producing an instant supply of steam.      The steam runs out of the steam generator, through the hose to the wand. The steam may be applied, for example, to clothes so as to remove wrinkles in the clothes.

Abstract: A database management system provides for the execution of invokable user-defined routines. Applications specify user-defined routines as being threadsafe or not threadsafe and specify the language of user-defined routines. Execution of routines will be carried out dependent on the threadsafe characteristic of the routines and on the language of the routines. Routines are assigned to processes based on their language to have any given process execute routines of the same language. Routines that are specified to be threadsafe are executed in threads in a potentially multi-threaded process. Each routine that is specified to be not threadsafe is executed in a fenced-mode processes in which no other routine is being executed.

IPC: G11B5/012
Filed: 1995-11-24
Abstract: During a write revolution of a storage medium, a transition is written on the storage medium while servoing on another transition previously recorded on the storage medium. During that write revolution, a position error signal corresponding to the position error of the transducer relative to the previously recorded transition is determined. That position error signal is then stored, during the write revolution, to be used in computing a reference track value associated with the transition being written to correct for the position error. Additionally, a product servo-pattern is written, which includes an embodying of the position error therein.

Title: Fast acquisition position reporting system
Inventor: SULLIVAN MARK C
IPC: G01S5/00
Filed: 2000-07-12
Abstract: A geographic tracking system (10) with minimal power and size required at the mobile terminal (18) collects observation data at the mobile terminal (18), forwards the data to a processor, which calculates the position. The mobile terminal (18) needs only to gather a few milliseconds of observation data, and to relay this observation data to the processor. The range from the satellite (14-17) (or other airborne transponder) to the terminal is determined using the known positions of an interrogating transmitter and a satellite, and a known terminal delay between the received signal and the transmission of the return signal, and the round trip time. An arc of locations is determined by computing an intersection of a sphere centered at the satellite having a radius given by the calculated range with a model of the Earth's surface.
