Abstract: The crew compartment for an armoured vehicle is a separate cell structure (5), held by elastic mountings (3) at a gap(s) from the armoured housing (2). The elastic mountings dampen the compartment cell from the housing and also prevent vibrations reaching the crew compartment cell. The mountings have a defined elastic characteristic, to hold the compartment cell at local mounting points in the armoured housing. The mountings can be extruded rubber profiles and/or elastic hose sections, or elastic corrugated sheets. The crew compartment cell is of a compound fibre material for protection against splinters and mine detonations, and is fitted with thermal and acoustic insulation.

Abstract: An improved hashing system is provided that takes advantage of the caching
architecture of many of today's processors to improve performance. Some of today's most
advanced processors, like the PENTIUM processor, have a two level caching scheme utilizing
a primary cache and a secondary cache, where data contained in the primary cache is
accessible 50-150 times faster than data in main memory. The improved hashing system
ensures that collisions occur so that the buckets contain many entries, and at runtime, the
entries in the buckets are reordered to increase the number of times that the primary cache of
the processor is used and to reduce the number of times that main memory is used, thereby
improving the performance of the hashing system.

Abstract: A multi-quantum-well Mach-Zehnder optical phase modulator selectively generates positive and negative frequency chirp. The modulator has an asymmetric input y-junction coupler and an asymmetric output y-junction coupler joined by interferometric arms defining two optical paths of unequal length so as to generate a fixed phase difference of π or an integral odd multiple thereof. The modulator has electrodes on each arm for receiving modulating electric fields in a push-pull relationship. A control electrode is provided on one of the arms for receiving a control electric field. The modulator, when driven without any control electric field generates negative frequency chirp, and selectively generates positive frequency chirp in response to adjustment of the control electric field. As an alternative, the length differential between respective arms can be selected to generate a phase difference of π/2, in which case control electrodes are required on each of the interferometric arms. A method of selectively generating a modulated optical signal having selectively configurable frequency chirp is also described.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cardiac massage cup (20) which includes a cup
shaped member (30) defining a cavity having an apical section (32) and a basal
section (34). A liner (50) of flexible material is contained within the cavity with
its upper end connected to the cup shaped member (30) at a predetermined
distance from the upper end of the apical section (32) and its lower end (54)
connected to the cup shaped member a predetermined distance from the basal
section (34), the middle portion of the liner being left free from the cup shaped
member to form an annular diaphragm (56) which contacts the ventricular
surface of a heart. A first inlet (60) communicates with the space between
the diaphragm and the cup shaped member to receive alternately applied
relatively high positive and negative fluid pressures. A second inlet (70)
communicates with the interior of the cup shaped member to receive a vacuum
for holding the cup shaped member in a predetermined position. A first
pressure transducer (80) is positioned within the first inlet (70) for measuring
the pressure within the space between the liner and cup shaped member, and
a second pressure transducer (80) is positioned within the second inlet (70) for
measuring the vacuum holding the cup shaped member in said predetermined
position. 
     When the cup shaped member (30) is placed loosely over the lower
portion of a heart, the apex of the heart will be positioned within the cup
shaped member proximate the apical section (32) thereof, the basal section
(34) of the cup shaped member will extend only so far as the atrial region of
the heart, and the middle portion of the liner (50) that forms the annular
diaphragm (56) will contact the ventricular surface of the heart. Relatively high
positive and negative pressures alternately applied via the first inlet (60) to the
space between the diaphragm (56) and the cup shaped member (30) will
transfer pressures to the ventricular surface of the heart to provide systolic and 
diastolic effects on the heart, and a vacuum applied via the second inlet (70)
will hold the heart in position on the cup shaped member, and the heart will be
mechanically pumped.

Abstract: An ink-jet ink set comprises (a) a microemulsion-based black ink in which the
colorant is a water-insoluble black pigment has been chemically modified to impart
water solubility by addition of functional groups to form a macromolecular chromophore
and (b) at least one non-black (cyan, yellow, or magenta) ink that is a typical
aqueous dye-based ink with an agent that increases the ionic strength of the no-black
ink and comprises either an inorganic salt or an organic acid; the organic acid
is used to adjust the pH of the non-black ink to a value of less than 5. The non-black
ink may alternatively comprise a water-insoluble non-black pigment that has also
been chemically modified. The macromolecular chromophore-containing ink, or pigment-based
ink, of the ink-jet ink set is a microemulsion that contains a substantially
water-insoluble organic oil, an organic co-solvent, and water and, optionally, an amphiphile
and a high molecular weight colloid. By employing an ink set in which some
of the members of the set have a higher ionic strength than the black, microemulsion-based
ink, then bleed alleviation can be achieved. When the higher ionic
strength ink comes in contact with the lower ionic strength microemulsion ink, the
rapid change in ionic strength of the microemulsion causes flocculation of the dissolved
modified pigment. The result of the flocculation is that the colorant is precipitated
on the print medium. It is no longer capable of diffusion into the other ink,
thereby alleviating bleed, nor is it capable of penetration into the medium, thereby
resulting in improved color density and edge acuity. The inks described herein also
exhibit fast drying times, high waterfastness, and high smearfastness. They also
show reduced problems with inter-color bleed and show no halo effect.

cartridge, for applying to the resistive heating element
(52,62) warming pulses (P 1 ) and firing pulses (P 2 )
separated by a delay period (t 2 ). The warming pulse (P 1 )
causes the resistive heating element (52,62) to warm a

the firing pulse (P 2 ) causes the resistive heating
element (52,62) to produce a vapor bubble in the chamber
which causes a droplet of ink to be ejected from the
chamber orifice (56a,66a).
