Title: Data processing system comprising system configuration means
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 1990-05-15
Abstract: In the system and method of this invention, a data processing 
system is dynamically configured during IPL (initial program load) time. 
All of the entities of the data processing system, including physical 
and logical devices, are represented as objects in an object oriented 
database. The object oriented database also contains an object class of 
rules which define the sequence of events that are needed in order to 
configure the system. A number of methods are defined to perform 
specific functional operations on the objects. A configuration manager 
invokes the appropriate method to perform operations on the objects 
according to the rules. The objects are dynamically defined, 
configured, started, stopped, unconfigured, and undefined independent of 
whether the objects represent physical or logical entities. In this 
way, both physical and logical entities are configured in a consistent 
and similar fashion.
Patent EP-0467036-A3 (EP)
Title: Method and apparatus for radio identification and tracking
IPC: G06K7/00
Filed: 1991-05-15
Abstract: Items are identified and tracked by attaching radio transceiver tags to the items and sending signals between the tags and one or more interrogation subsystems. The tags are normally in low-power standby mode unless signalled by an interrogator. The interrogator broadcasts a signal to all of the tags within reception range, and the tags respond after pseudo-random delays. When the interrogator has identified a tag, it signals that fact back to the tag and the tag returns to standby mode. The tags that were not identified by the interrogator retransmit their identification signals, and the process continues until all tags within range of the interrogator have been identified. <IMAGE>

Title: Method for measuring a worktool in a numerical controlled machine tool with automatic tool changer and system therefor
IPC: G05B19/406
Filed: 1991-07-20
Abstract: The worktool (7) to be measured is moved into a predetermined measuring position, in which it interrupts a measuring beam (15) of a measuring device. The measuring beam (15) is oriented at an angle alpha  to the x-y coordinate system of the machine tool. A multi-spindle head having a plurality of axially parallel worktools (7) is moved in such a way that the worktools (7) are moved into the fixed measuring beam (15) one after the other. It is thereby possible to sense and measure all the worktools (7) of the most commonly encountered multi-spindle heads (8), using a single measuring beam (15). Even if two worktools (7) are situated in a common horizontal or vertical plane, one behind the other, each worktool (7) is sensed due to the oblique position of the measuring beam (15) to the x-y coordinate system. It is thereby possible to check and monitor the worktools before and after use, for example as regards wear. <IMAGE>

points drawn from a two-dimensional constellation of 
available signals. The constellation comprises a 
plurality of inner signals, and a plurality of outer

signals. One bit of the block of digital data determines 
whether any of the plurality of signal points will be 
drawn from the outer signals. If an outer signal will be 
drawn, at least one other bit of the block of digital 
data determines which of the plurality of signal points 
will be an outer signal point.

Inventor: CABIB DARIO
IPC: G01J3/26
Filed: 1993-07-22
Abstract: A method of analyzing an optical image of a scene to determine the 
spectral intensity of each pixel of the scene, which includes collecting incident 
light from the scene; (b) passing the light through an interferometer which 
outputs modulated light corresponding to a predetermined set of linear 
combinations of the spectral intensity of the light emitted from each pixel; 
focusing the light outputted from the interferometer on a detector array; and 
processing the output of the detector array to determine the spectral intensity of 
each pixel thereof. If the interferometer is of the moving type scanning in one 
dimension is required where the detector array is one dimensional, and no 
scanning when the detector array is two-dimensional. If the interferometer is 
of the non-moving type scanning is required in one dimension when the detector 
array is two-dimensional, and in two dimensions when the detector array is one-dimensional.
Patent EP-0587305-A3 (EP)
IPC: H05K3/22
Filed: 1993-08-06
Abstract: In a method of removing a component (1) from a 
wiring board (4) to which the component is attached by 
heat-softenable resin (3), the improvement is provided 
of, after softening of the resin by heat and removal of 
the component (1), removing residual resin remaining on 
the board at the location of the component by 
application of ultraviolet laser radiation having 
intensity sufficient to decompose and disperse said 
residual resin. This can be done without damaging the 
wiring on the board so that the wiring is re-usable to 
attach a further electronic component at the same 
location. Excessive heating of the board can be 
avoided by measures such as applying a pre-load to the 
component during softening so that it moves when 
sufficiently softened, and monitoring the softening.

Title: Method and device for separating fine-grained solids into two grain size fractions.
Inventor: STEIN JUERGEN DR-ING
IPC: B03B5/60
Filed: 1994-08-01
Abstract: Method and device for separating a fine-grained solid into a fine material and a coarse material at a separating grain size below 50 mu m, preferably below approximately 10  mu m. The aim of the invention is to indicate a method and a device which, in an economical manner, make possible a clear separation in particular in the grain size range below approximately 10  mu m. To achieve this aim, the fine-grained solid is dispersed in a liquid which can form drops and the dispersion is forced into a defined sink flow with a superimposed rotation flow generated independently of the sink flow. The ratio of the speeds of the sink flow and the rotation flow determines the separating grain size. Serving as the device is a rotary-driven deflector wheel with blades running parallel to its axis of rotation and forming flow ducts, which is flowed through from the outside to the inside and to which the solid dispersion is fed at the external circumference. <IMAGE>
