Title: Calculating the reciprocal of an arbitrary element in a finite field.
Inventor: LEE JONG-HWAN
IPC: G06F7/72
Filed: 1993-09-29
Abstract: A method for calculating the reciprocal of an arbitrary element in a finite field GF(2<n>) having a primitive element, the reciprocal of the primitive element and an identity element for multiplying. The method includes the steps of recursively multiplying the primitive element by the identity element so as to produce a first element and recursively multiplying the identity element by the reciprocal of primitive element so as to produce a second element, until one of the first and second elements equals the arbitrary element. The second element is determined to be the reciprocal of the arbitrary element if the first element equals the arbitrary element, and the first element is determined to be the reciprocal of the arbitrary element if the second element equals the arbitrary element. <IMAGE>

Title: Treadmill with elastomeric-spring mounted deck
Inventor: RODDEN PATRICK TERRANCE
IPC: A63B22/02
Filed: 1993-10-27
Abstract: A treadmill includes a frame (12) on which are rotatably mounted first and second transverse roller assemblies. An endless belt is trained about the roller assemblies. A deck (20) is disposed between an upper run of the belt and the frame. The deck is supported spaced from the frame by a plurality of cup-shaped elastomeric springs (22).

Title: Instrument support boom assemblies and unions thereof
Inventor: HUFFORD DONALD LEE
IPC: F16B7/04
Filed: 1994-03-04
Abstract: A union (76) for instrument mounting assemblies has a body (78) with a stem (80) extending from the body to a terminal end. The stem is received within a boom (16) and has an inclined surface (84) extending from the terminal end toward the body.

Patent GB-2295194-A (GB)
Title: Pivoted bolt assembly
Inventor: BEBB RICHARD HODSON
IPC: E05C3/06
Filed: 1994-11-21
Abstract: A pivoted bolt assembly has a wall 5 releasably retained on a pallet 1 by a hook bolt 9 (pivotally mounted at 10 on the wall) capturing a stud 4. Pivotal movement of the hook 9 is controlled by longitudinal displacement of a rod 20 extending through an aperture 6 in the wall 5 and pivotally connected at 21 to the hook. A leaf spring 26 biases the rod 20 relative to the wall 5 for a projection 23 on the rod to overlie or underlie a projection 7 in the wall 5. By displacing the rod 22 against the spring 26 sufficiently for the projection 23 to clear the projection 7 and thereafter longitudinally displacing the rod 20 within the aperture 6, the hook 9 can be pivotted to an engaged or disengaged condition with the stud 4. Abutment between the projections 23 and 7 when the hook 9 is in its engaged condition with stud 4 or is in its disengaged condition from the stud 4 prevents the rod 20 from being inadvertently displaced directly longitudinally to move the hook 9 from its selected condition. <IMAGE>

Title: Control apparatus for optical amplifier
Inventor: ITOU HIROYUKI
IPC: H04B10/07
Filed: 1996-04-15
Abstract: A control apparatus for an optical amplifier such as an erbium-doped optical-fiber (EDF) (14) amplifier suppresses overshooting of ALC control at power on and at the time of input light restoration from an off condition, while ensuring quick starting. At power on and at the time of input light restoration from an off condition, an idling current (IDC) reference value generating circuit (40) generates an IDC reference voltage that increases to a value sufficiently greater than a value in a normal operating condition with a time constant corresponding to a rise time of the EDF (14), and thereby controls means such as a laser diode (16) for pumping the EDF (14). The voltage may alternatively be set to a value larger than the value in the normal operating condition for a predetermined period of time by using a timer. Automatic current control (ACC) and automatic power control (APC) of the pump device (16) may be provided.

Title: Control apparatus for a lifting platform
Inventor: HARDING ANTHONY DOUGLAS
IPC: B66F7/08
Filed: 1996-08-22
Abstract: Automatic control apparatus to maintain a constant operator working height for a lifting platform 34 as the platform 34 is loaded. Platform raising and lowering is by a hydraulic cylinder 14, the cylinder's hydraulic system 16 being connected to resilient means such as an air bag 24. As the platform 34 is loaded, fluid in the hydraulic system 16 compresses the air bag 24, the platform 34 lowers and a constant operator working height is maintained. By varying the air bag pressure when the unloaded platform 34 is at the operator working height, the load at which the platform 34 reaches its lowest, unloading, height can be varied. Through the addition of a secondary cylinder 45 connected between the load cylinder 14 and the air bag 24, the load required for the unloading height to be reached can be further modified, as can the unloading height itself, by altering the bore and/or stroke of the secondary cylinder 45 relative to those of the load cylinder 14. Platforms having chain hoists (46, Fig. 3) as well as scissor arms are illustrated.

Abstract: A digital video disk reproducing device utilizes a single memory 320 both for the error correction and for the data buffering. The device designates a unit number to each sector of the memory 320 and determines first, second and third regions. The first region corresponds to an absolute value of a unit number obtained by subtracting a unit number Y of a sector where a data read/write operation is completed during the scrambling from a unit number X of a start sector in an error correction block where the error correction is completed. The second region corresponds to an absolute value of a unit number obtained by subtracting a unit number Z of a sector where the data is completely transferred to the audio/video decoders or the ROM decoder from the unit number Y. The third region corresponds to an absolute value of a unit number obtained by subtracting the unit number Z from a unit number W of a sector where a writing operation of demodulated data is completed. Thereafter, the devices controls a W-pointer and a Z-pointer not to overfull a Z-pointer and a Ypointer respectively, and controls an X-pointer and the Ypointer not to pass ahead the W-pointer and the X-pointer respectively.
