Title: Fibre channel input/output data routing system and method
Inventor: CASPER DANIEL FRANCIS
IPC: G06F13/12
Filed: 2012-04-17
Abstract: A method for performing an input/output (I/O) operation between a host computer (102) and control-unit (118) comprises obtaining information about the I/O operation from a channel subsystem (128) in the host system, the channel having a local processor and memory. An Address Control Word (ACW) (Fig 11) is generated and specifying the memory location and having an error checking field is stored in the local memory. An address control structure (Fig 5) for each data transfer in the I/O operation is generated and forwarded to the network interface between the channel subsystem and I/O device and specifies a location in the local memory of the ACW. On receipt of an I/O command message via the network a data transfer request from the network interface is issued and includes addressing information. A data route in the channel compares the ACW error checking field and the address control structure error checking field and if they match, the corresponding ACW is retrieved and used to route the data transfer request to the host memory (106) specified in the ACW.

Title: A shearing hand piece tension lock ring
Inventor: HOWELL ROBIN JAMES
IPC: A01K14/00
Filed: 2012-11-08
Abstract: A shearing hand piece tension lock ring 86 is formed from a resilient material having a generally circular cross-sectional shape and describing an arc of approximately 340 degrees. The tension lock ring 86 has a first end 74 configured to fit a recess (60, fig. 3a) of a shearing hand piece tubular bush (42, fig. 3a). The tension lock ring 86 has a second end 76 having a radially outwardly positioned rounded shoulder 88 and an end face 82 that faces the interior of the tension lock ring 86. The end face 82 is formed by cutting diagonally through a bend (90, fig. 5c) formed in the tension lock ring 86. The end face has the shape of an oval with a single axis of symmetry 94 (see fig. 6), or a truncated oval with a single axis of symmetry (see figures 7 & 8). The finishing of the second end 74 lessens the risk of snagging between the end of the tension lock ring and the interior of the shearing hand piece tensioning cap (46, fig. 1), and also lessens the risk of injury to an operator during assembly or servicing of the shearing hand piece.

Title: Prevention of destructive electrostatic discharge damage to garments
Inventor: TURNER JOHN
IPC: A41D13/008
Filed: 2013-01-15
Abstract: A system for the prevention of destructive electrostatic discharge damage to garments includes a potential triboelectric charge circuit interrupted by an insulating layer 14. In use, an inner garment material 12 such as that of a bra, rubs against the outer garment 13 at an interface 18 generating a charge. Discharging from outer garments 12 to the wearer's body 11 through a distinct point of discharge at a conductor 15 in contact with or in close proximity to the wearer's skin can create damage to the outer garment 13 in the form of tiny holes. An alternate method and system of preventing such a situation may include introducing a contact disrupting layer fixed to the outside surface of an inner garment such that triboelectric charge generation between inner and outer garments is kept to a minimum.
