Inventor: HOBBIS KEVAN
IPC: H04W88/08
Filed: 1996-12-20
Abstract: A cellular radio communication system includes base transceiver stations each of which communicates with one or more mobile stations.

Title: Optical system for optical disc drive
Inventor: NISHIKAWA HIROSHI
IPC: G11B7/135
Filed: 1998-11-02
Abstract: The present invention concerns an optical system for an optical disc drive. A head (6) is provided with a laser source (7), an objective optical system, and a deflection mirror provided between the laser source and the objective optical system. As the deflection mirror (26) is rotated, the angle of incidence of the beam incident of the objective optical system changes so that a fine tracking is performed. When the deflection mirror is rotated, based on the rotation amount and a distance between the deflection mirror and the objective optical system, the deflection mirror is moved in a direction along which the laser bean is incident so that the laser beam deflected by the deflection mirror is incident on the objective optical system substantially at the same position regardless of rotation amount of the deflection mirror.

Patent GB-2343031-A (GB)
Title: Processing stack related exception traps
Inventor: DAMRON PETER C
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 1999-07-21
Abstract: Reducing the number of overflow and underflow exception traps generated during the execution of a program on a computer that uses a top-of-stack cache, e.g. in a register window file architecture whereby the top of the stack is maintained in registers directly accessible by the CPU and the rest of the stack is maintained in memory. Rather than spilling/filling a fixed number of stack elements from/to the top-of-stack cache to/from memory in response to an overflow or underflow trap respectively, which is inefficient when there are deeply nested or recursive subroutine calls, the number of stack elements spilled or filled is controlled by a predictor value. The predictor value reflects the history of the trap exceptions, such that if more overflow traps than underflow traps have occurred, more stack elements are spilled to memory on each overflow trap. Different predictor values can select different overflow and underflow vectors (Fig. 4), or a hash mechanism (Fig. 6) enables multiple predictors to separately control the spill/fill of the stack file dependant on where in memory the exceptions occur.

Patent HU-T65222-A (HU)
Title: Burner preferably oil or combined oil and gas fuelled one
Inventor: BONER HEINRICH
IPC: F23D11/40
Filed: 1993-02-25
Abstract: For the combustion of liquid fuels in the gaseous state, the burner has a gasification space (66), to which lead an air inlet (55), a fuel supply (11, 13) and at least two recirculation paths for hot combustion gases. Arranged at a distance from the air inlet (55) is a deflection device (31) in order to deflect the mixture of air, returned combustion gases and gasified fuel in an approximately radial direction. From the recirculation paths, an annular gap (67) leads along the inner wall of the flame pipe (21) towards the rear and then into the gasification space (66). A further recirculation path leads along the outer wall of the flame pipe (21) towards the rear and then into the gasification space (66). This recirculation path can, however, also be omitted. A further recirculation path leads through the openings (59, 57, 61) of the deflection device. All parts (21, 31) delimiting the gasification space (66) are consequently flowed over by the recirculated hot gases so that no fuel droplets can settle on them and coke. These complex operations, caused by the braking effect of the deflection device (31), the recirculation of hot gases and the turbulence caused by the air inlet (55), bring about a virtually complete gasification of the fuel in the gasification space (66), although no actual gasifier is provided. A blue flame is created, which expands greatly radially and in which virtually no nitrogen oxides are formed, and the discharge of uncombusted hydrocarbons is extremely low. The burner is very service-friendly and has a large regulating range. <IMAGE>
