Abstract: A fuel injector comprising a valve member (12) which is engageable with a valve seating to control fuel delivery from the injector, an actuator arrangement (28) and an amplifier arrangement (34, 62) for transmitting movement of the actuator arrangement to the valve member (12). The amplifier arrangement comprises a piston member (34) with which the actuator arrangement is cooperable to apply a retracting force to the piston member (34), and a control chamber (62) for fluid. The amplifier arrangement preferably comprises mechanical coupling means (48, 50, 52; 12b, 35a) for coupling movement of the piston member (34) to the valve member (12) upon application of an initial retracting force to the piston member (34). The amplifier arrangement is arranged such that, upon application of the initial retracting force, the valve member (12) is caused to move with the piston member (34) away from the valve seating, movement of the valve member (12) being decoupled from the piston member (34) following initial movement of the valve member (12) away from the valve seating so as to provide variable amplification of movement of the actuator arrangement to the valve member (12). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for processing 2D operations in a tiled graphics architecture is disclosed. A graphics controller processes both 3D primitives and 2D blit operations. The 3D primitives are sorted into bins using well-known techniques. When a 2D blit operation is to be processed, the 2D blit operation is also sorted into bins. The sorted 3D primitives and sorted 2D blit operations are then delivered to blit and rendering engines on a bin-by-bin basis. By sorting the 2D blit operations into bins along with the 3D primitives, there is no need to flush the bins (send primitives to rendering engines) whenever a 2D blit operation requires processing. The sorting of 2D blit operations into bins reduces the frequency of graphics cache misses and improves graphics memory bandwidth utilization, thereby improving overall computer system performance.

Abstract: A braking device acts on a guide rail and consists of a housing that is arranged at an elevator car yoke and serves as a support for spring packets and/or for adjusting packets. The housing also serves as a support and guide for chock guide elements that in turn retain and guide brake chocks with brake linings. Pushrods engage at one end at the brake chocks, and at the other end are pivotably connected to an actuating fork. Upon braking of the elevator car, the actuating fork is moved at the pushrod end in the direction of the braking device. The guided brake chocks with the brake linings slide in the braking device. At the same time the brake linings are moved at the guide leg of the guide rail. The brake chocks are moved in the braking device and the spring and adjusting packets are stressed, whereby a braking force for stopping an elevator car or a counterweight is generated.

Abstract: Number portability is a service where a subscriber can keep his old telephone number within a portability cluster and thus retain easy contactibility. Because of number portability, a called address, i.e. B-number, no longer refers to the subscription network/number range owner and the old rule “the number range of the called party reveals the tariff level” is no longer valid. To overcome this defect all intelligent network-like service invocation requests are routed (3-2) via a network node performing a number portability function to the network node controlling the service. The node performing the number portability function performs (3-3) a mapping of the B-number and relays (3-4) the service invocation requests indicating the subscription network/number range owner.
