Inventor: DELP GARY S
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1996-06-26
Abstract: A method and system within a data processing system are disclosed for receiving information from a communications network. The data processing system includes a communications adapter, having an adapter memory, and a host memory. The communications adapter is coupled to the communications network, which transmits information to the data processing system in packets including a packet header and packet data. According to the present invention, a portion of a packet of information is received from the communications network at the adapter memory within the communications adapter. The portion of the packet of information includes at least a packet header that specifies a length of the packet of information and a destination address within the host memory. In response to receipt of the portion of the packet of information, a transfer of the packet of information from the adapter memory to the host memory is prepared prior to receipt of a final portion of the packet of information at the adapter memory. The packet of information is then transferred from the adapter memory to addresses within the host memory beginning with the destination address. Since the transfer is prepared before packet receipt is complete, perceived latency is minimized.

Abstract: In a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, a radio frequency coil  (40)  is disposed closely adjacent the patient's head. The radio frequency coil includes a first annular ring  (80, 114)  around the patient's head from which a first plurality of legs  (82, 116)  extend. Opposite legs are interconnected equidistant from the first annular ring to form a virtual ground connection  (84, 118).  In the embodiment of FIGURE 6, a second annular ring  (120)  is disposed parallel to the first annular ring with a second plurality of legs  (122)  extending between the first and second annular rings. By adjusting a ratio ρ of the current flow in the loops defined by the first legs, the first annular ring and virtual ground relative to the current loops defined by the second legs and the first and second annular rings, the linearity of the B 1  field within the head coil is selectively adjustable (FIGURE 8).

Abstract: The invention proposes a process and waste treatment plant for
regenerating from an alkaline aqueous waste stream from a chemical
production plant (1), such as an aldolisation plant, that contains at
least one alkali metal carboxylate byproduct a solution of an alkali
metal hydroxide for recycle to the chemical production plant. The waste
stream may contain, for example, a sodium salt of a C 3  to
C 22  carboxylic acid, such as sodium butyrate. To the waste
stream is added phosphoric acid, sulphuric acid, or a mixture thereof
(6) to adjust the pH to 3.5 or lower and generate free carboxylic acid.
The resulting acidic liquor is fed to a first distillation zone (12) to
distil carboxylic acid and water and form an acidic predominantly
aqueous phase. Alternatively it is fed to a settling zone (14) from
which an upper organic layer comprising free carboxylic acid or acids is
recovered as well as a lower aqueous phase which is fed to the first
distillation zone. The overhead product from the first distillation zone
is condensed and the condensate allowed to separate into an upper
carboxylic acid layer which is either purged or, if a settling zone is
used, fed to the settling zone (25). The lower layer of the condensate is
redistilled to give a substantially pure water bottoms stream which is
fed to the cathode compartment (60) of an electrolytic cell (58) while
the bottoms stream from the first distillation zone is supplied to the
anode compartment (59).
Recycle through the cathode and anode compartments is used to keep the
surface of the electrodes free from gas bubbles. Inorganic acid
regenerated in the anode compartment is used to acidify a further amount
of the waste stream, while alkali metal hydroxide solution from the
cathode compartment is recycled to the chemical production plant.

Abstract: The network includes a number of electronic add-drop multiplexers (ME1-ME4) and a first aggregate data transmission interface (E) which inserts information into a first fibre (F1) and extracts information from a second fibre (F2). A second aggregate data transmission interface (O) inserts information into the second fibre and extracts it from the first. At each in a number of optical add-drop multiplexers (MO1-MO4), the information is inserted at a wavelength allocated to each interface. Between two nodes, the link is secured by 1+1 multiplexing section protection. Information on either fibre from one optical add-drop multiplexer to an associated one has the same wavelength. Information flowing back may have the same or a different wavelength.

Abstract: Prodn. of "farmhouse" cheese on a semi-industrial scale is effected by collecting milk from producers, transporting the milk to the cheesemaking unit and transferring the milk to a tank. The milk is then treated with rennet in mobile basins, cut, separated and the curd is moulded into individual moulds or in moulds grouped in blocks. Finally the curd is drained. The process is characterised in that: (a) the milk is collected separately from each producer within 12 hr of milking and is kept at 4-16 degrees C at least until it arrives at the cheesemaking unit. (b) Each batch of milk is transported in a separate compartments in a tanker with a pneumatic suspension system. (c) The milk is transferred under gravity into individual basins equipped with covers (pref. of wood) designed to maintain the optimum temp. for the development of bacterial flora. The milk is treated with a classical rennet for a time determined by the compsn. and properties of the milk, esp. its bacterial flora and acidity. (d) After removing ca. 30% of the whey by suction through a sieve, the curd formed in the basins is transferred to the moulds, where it is drained at a temp. below 18 degrees C if it has a suitable acidity, or otherwise at 18-24 degrees C.

Abstract: This invention is a thermo-keratoplasty system and method for locally heating and reshaping a cornea in a manner that produces a minimal regression of the corneal correction. The system includes a probe (12) that is coupled to a power source which can provide current at a predetermined power, frequency and time duration. The probe (12) has a sharp tip (36) that is inserted into the stroma of the cornea (48). The tip has an insulated stop that controls the depth of tip penetration. Current flows into the cornea through the probe tip to locally heat and denature the corneal tissue. The denatured tissue causes a subsequent shrinkage of the cornea. A pattern of denatured areas can be created around the cornea to correct the vision of the eye.

Abstract: The laser alignment system of apparatus for leveling flowable material, in which two radiant energy beam detectors mounted on opposite ends of an elongated leveling member are responsive to a projected radiant energy beam establishing a leveling plane, is modified for operation when one of the detectors is blocked from receiving the projected radiant energy bean by an obstruction such as a support column, equipment or personnel. Whereas each detector signal is normally used to generate a separate adjustment signal for an adjustment device such as an hydraulic cylinder to raise or lower the associated end of the elongated leveling member, when one detector is blocked from receiving the radiant energy beam the detector elevation signal generated by the other, unblocked, detector is used to generate the adjustment signals for both ends of the elongated leveling member.

Abstract: Le procédé et l'appareil décrits servent à analyser et à corriger la prédominance d'une couleur primaire dans une image numérisée. Dans un mode préféré de réalisation, les composantes de chrominance de l'image peuvent être transformées par une transformation de Hough ou similaire. Les structures linéaires du système cartésien de coordonnées qui décrit les composantes de chrominance sont transformées en un diagramme de Hough sous forme d'un système polaire de coordonnées. La structure linéaire est donc transformée en une structure de points. On examine ensuite le diagramme de Hough afin de retrouver la cellule du diagramme qui a la valeur la plus élevée et on sauvegarde la cellule ainsi retrouvée. On neutralise ensuite les cellules dans le diagramme de Hough à une distance angulaire prédéterminée et on examine à nouveau le diagramme de Hough afin de trouver la cellule qui a la valeur la plus élevée après la neutralisation. On sauvegarde la cellule ainsi retrouvée et on utilise les cellules ainsi sauvegardées, qui représentent les valeurs maximales dans le diagramme de Hough, pour déterminer les intersections entre les lignes dans le système des composantes de chrominance, et on utilise ces intersections pour évaluer la décoloration de l'image.

Abstract: A superscalar microprocessor is provided that includes a predecode unit configured to predecode variable byte-length instructions prior to their storage within an instruction cache. The predecode unit is configured to generate a plurality of predecode bits for each instruction byte. The plurality of predecode bits associated with each instruction byte are collectively referred to as a predecode tag. An instruction alignment unit then uses the predecode tags to dispatch the variable byte-length instructions simultaneously to a plurality of decode units which form fixed issue positions within the superscalar microprocessor. With the information conveyed by the functional bits, the decode units can detect the exact locations of the opcode, displacement, immediate, register, and scale-index bytes. Accordingly, no serial scan by the decode units through the instruction bytes is needed. In addition, the functional bits allow the decode units to calculate linear addresses (via adder circuits) expeditiously for use by other subunits within the superscalar microprocessor. Accordingly, relatively fast decoding may be attained, and high performance may be accommodated.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un appareil pour la délimitation rapide/fiable de ressources, telles que des disques partagés (50), dans un système en réseau (10). Pour chaque nouvelle configuration de noeuds/ressources, un module de programme de membre produit une liste et, sur la base de cette liste, un nouveau numéro d'époque identifiant uniquement le membre se rapportant à la période pendant laquelle il existe. Une clé de commande, fondée sur ce numéro d'époque, est générée et stockée à chaque contrôleur et noeud de ressources (20, 30, 40). Si un noeud est identifié comme défaillant, il est retiré de la liste des membres et un nouveau numéro d'époque/une nouvelle clé de commandé sont générés. Lorsqu'un noeud émet une demande d'accès en direction d'une ressource (50), le contrôleur compare sa clé stockée localement avec la clé stockée au niveau de ce noeud. La demande d'accès n'est exécutée que s'il y a correspondance de ces clés. La liste des membres est revisitée sur la base de la détermination par un noeud de la défaillance d'une ressource et elle est exécutée indépendamment de la ressource défaillante.
