IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1997-11-19
Abstract: A design control system, suitable for use in connection with the design of integrated circuits and other elements of manufacture having many parts which need to be developed in a concurrent engineering environment with inputs provided by users and or systems which may be located anywhere in the world, provides a set of control information for coordinating movement of the design information through development and to release while providing dynamic tracking of the status of elements of the bills of materials in an integrated and coordinated activity control system utilizing a repository which can be implemented in the form of a database (relational, object oriented, etc.) or using a flat file system. Once a model is created and/or identified by control information, design libraries hold the actual pieces of the design under control of the system without limit to the number of libraries, providing for tracking and hierarchical designs which are allowed to traverse through multiple libraries. Data Managers become part of the design team, and libraries are programmable to meet the needs of the design group they service.

Title: Sampling timebase system
Inventor: WOODWARD MARK JOSEPH
IPC: G01R13/34
Filed: 1998-08-24
Abstract: The system 50 uses the stable clock 55 present in digital systems to accurately reconstruct waveforms that are synchronous with the clock signal. The system provides a strobe signal 53 having a precise time delay relative to a trigger event. Interval counter 52 is programmed to count a specified number of clock cycles, providing for coarse time delay adjustment of the strobe signal in time increments determined by the period of the clock signal. Fine delay generator 54 triggered by the terminal count 57 of the interval counter 52 provides for fine adjustment of the time delay of the strobe signal 53. The interval counter and fine delay generator may vary the time delay between the strobe signal 53 and the trigger event. Optional prescaler 60 is provided to divide the frequency of the applied clock signal 55 when it is beyond the operating frequency of the interval counter 52 or the fine delay generator 54.

Title: Effective use of a small memory storage capacity when storing data
Inventor: ONO HIROSHI
IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 1998-12-10
Abstract: Effective storage of data such as email messages in a small-capacity memory, such as is found in a communication terminal of a portable telephone system (Fig. 1). Portions of email messages are selectively deleted, in accordance with the empty capacity of the memory (13, Fig. 1) of the portable terminal. A memory empty capacity (MM) value is initially set to 0 (S2, Fig. 2). The empty capacity of the memory is detected and MM set to 0, 1, 2 or 3, where MM = 3 corresponds to an empty memory capacity of less than 10 per cent (S3-S8, Fig. 2). If it is then determined that the MM value has changed, i.e. the memory empty capacity has largely decreased, all the stored messages are processed to partially delete selective portions of the message data; if not, only subsequently received messages are so processed (Fig. 3). The processing is performed according to stored, editable, conditions, shown, which provide, for the different "operation levels" (MM values), message portions to be deleted, subject to certain delete prohibitions ("keyword content", shown). The display of unnecessary email information to the user is also prevented.

Title: Extracting energy from a rotating wheel
Inventor: EZISSI CHRISTOPHER
IPC: B60K8/00
Filed: 1998-12-12
Abstract: As the vehicle moves, the tyre <B>2</B> rotates When the shaft base <B>11</B> is positioned at <B>360</B>, the lower shaft <B>10</B> moves upwards due to the gravitational force acting on the vehicle producing weight on the tyre <B>2</B> causing the radius of the wheel and tyre to reduce at the position <B>360</B> only. The movement of the lower shaft <B>10</B> upward is accompanied with a large amount of force which is almost equal to the force that is exacted on the road from the weight of the vehicle. Wheel bearing shaft <B>4</B> located at the center of the wheel, which transfer the weight of the vehicle to the wheel <B>5</B> and tyre <B>2</B> in line with the gravitational force. As the force moves through the lower shaft <B>10</B> into the spring <B>9</B>. The spring <B>9</B> compresses and transmits the force upward to the upper shaft <B>6</B> which pushes or revolves the hub <B>3</B> in clockwise direction, which is the same direction the vehicle wheel <B>5</B> is moving in. This new force is added to the original force that is moving the vehicle. Multiple units of the invention are provided on each tyre for maximum use of energy, to balance the weight on the rims, and to minimize any destructive vibrational instability from surges.
