Abstract: Bei einer hydraulischen Spannvorrichtung ist der Kolben (4) des Spannzylinders (5) auf der dem Spannelement (6) abgewandten Seite mit dem Kolben (15) eines im wirksamen Durchmesser kleineren Eilzylinders (16) in Verbindung. Spannzylinder (5) und Eilzylinder (16) sind über parallele Druckmittelleitungen (8, 9) mit der Druckmittelquelle (10) verbunden, wobei in der Druckmittelleitung (8, 9) zum Spannzylinder (5) einerseits ein Umschaltventil (18), welches bei Überschreitung eines das am Ende des Eilganges erfolgende Anliegen des Spannelementes (6) am zu spannenden Element charakterisierenden Druckniveaus selbsttätig die vorher gesperrte Druckmittelleitung (8) zum Spannzylinder (5) freigibt, und andererseits ein Nachsaugventil (13), welches eine Nachsaugverbindung (12) zum Druckmitteltank (14) offenhält und diese druckbedingt selbsttätig vor dem Öffnen des Umschaltventils (18) schließt, angeordnet ist. Auf diese Weise kann der erforderliche Volumenstrom und damit die Druckmittelpumpe (10) klein gehalten werden, was kleines Bauvolumen, geringe Leistungsaufnahme und eine kostengünstige Ausführung ermöglicht.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product is provided for selectively caching
domain name system (DNS) information on a network gateway. A CPE attached to the network
gateway executes an application that searches files in CPE memory to identify frequently accessed
domain names. The domain names are used to generate DNS queries that are transmitted by a
network gateway to an IP network for resolution. DNS responses are received from the IP
network and parsed to extract each resolved domain name and corresponding IP address, which
are then stored in a cache on the network gateway. The cache is then used to resolve DNS
queries generated by application programs running on the attached CPE.

Patent EP-1384986-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HUANG HAIYING
IPC: C03B37/027
Filed: 2003-06-24
Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for determining information regarding the result of introducing a rotational force on an optical fiber during manufacturing. A rotational deformation of the molten fiber, called spin, is imparted that becomes permanent upon cooling of the fiber. The rotational force also introduces twist on the cooled fiber, which is a non-permanent, mechanical rotation of the fiber. The system and method uses a diameter measuring device that produces a signal corresponding to the fiber's diameter with respect to time. Since the fiber is slightly elliptical in practice, periodic variations in the diameter measurement signal are detected that reflect the rotation imparted into the fiber. The signal is further processed to provide data regarding the effect of the rotations introduced into the fiber, namely the twist and spin present in the fiber.

Abstract: A method of lacing together two parts of an inflatable evacuation slide (10) uses a single
piece of cord (66) that is passed through multiple pairs of apertures (62,64) formed in the two parts (58,60) to be
joined. Thereafter, the loops (78,80) formed by passing the cord (66) through the multiple apertures (62,64) are laced
together and secured with a conventional key loop (76). In operation, once the key loop (76) is released,
since the lacing is composed of a single length of cord (66), rather than multiple independent loops,
the tension in all of the lacing is released simultaneously thereby allowing the lacing to unravel
reliably irrespective of the load on the lacing.

Inventor: HENRY G GLENN
IPC: G06F1/02
Filed: 2003-02-21
Abstract: A filtering apparatus in a hardware random number generator
that prevents the random number generator (RNG) from outputting a
contiguous string of zeros or ones longer than a specified length.
The maximum length is programmable in the apparatus. The
apparatus includes a counter that keeps a current count of
contiguous zero bits in a series of bytes generated by the RNG.
An adder generates a sum of the current zero bit count and the
number of leading zeros in the next byte generated. If the sum
exceeds the maximum length, then the filter throws out the byte
rather than accumulating it. Otherwise, if the byte contains all
zeros, the counter is updated with the sum; or if the byte
contains trailing zeros, the counter is updated with the number of
trailing zeros; otherwise the counter is cleared. The apparatus
does the same for contiguous one bits.

Abstract: Royalty and other fee collection for software upgrades and updates is facilitated by generating a software package that is unique to the system on which it is to be installed. As a result, when a consumer purchases a software upgrade, the upgrade can only be used on one particular system. In one implementation, distribution of upgrades and updates for a vehicle audio system is controlled by encrypting the vehicle identification number (VIN) of a vehicle into the software package used for the upgrade or update. The software package can only be used to upgrade software residing on the vehicle corresponding to the VIN. As a result, unauthorized distribution of the software package is prevented.

Abstract: During recording inputted data are sequentially written into a memory (14) at one transfer rate and are read out at a second, higher transfer rate for recording on a record medium (2). The reading of the memory. (14) is such that data in a preset first amount are successively read from the memory (14) to always ensure a write space in the memory (14) which has a capacity which is higher than a predetermined second amount when the amount of the inputted data stored in the memory (14) exceeds the first amount. During playback, the recorded data are reproduced at a second transfer rate, which is higher than a first transfer rate required for outputting the reproduced data, and are written in a memory (22). The thus written data are successively read out of the memory (22) as reproduced output data at the first transfer rate. The writing of the reproduced data to the memory (22) is controlled so that a second amount of the reproduced data is written into the memory (22) and an amount of reproduced data, not less than a first amount, is always stored in the memory (22) when the amount of the reproduced data stored in the memory (22) becomes not higher than the first given amount.

Abstract: A compound objective lens is composed of a hologram lens for transmitting a part of incident light without any diffraction to form a beam of transmitted light and diffracting a remaining part of the incident light to form a beam of first-order diffracted light, and an objective lens for converging the transmitted light to form a first converging spot on a front surface of a thin type of first information medium and converging the diffracted light to form a second converging spot on a front surface of a thick type of second information medium. Because the hologram lens selectively functions as a concave lens for the diffracted light, a curvature of the transmitted light differs from that of the diffracted light. Therefore, even though the first and second information mediums have different thicknesses, the transmitted light incident on a rear surface of the first information medium is converged on the its front surface, and the diffracted light incident on a rear surface of the second information medium is converged on the its front surface. That is, the compound objective lens has two focal points.
