Abstract: A system, method, and various software products provide for improved information retrieval in very large document databases through the use of a predetermined static cache. The static cache includes for terms that appear in a large number of documents, a plurality of documents ordered by a contribution that the term makes to the document score of the document. The contribution is a scalar measure of the influence of the term in the computed document score. The contribution reflects both the within document frequency and the between document frequency of the term. In addition, the static cache includes for each term a lookup table that references selected entries for the term in an inverted index. Queries to the database are then processed by first traversing the static cache and obtaining the contribution information thereform and computing the document score from this information. Additional term frequency information for other terms in the query is obtained by looking up the document in the lookup tables of the other query terms, and obtaining the term frequency information for such terms from the inverted index, or by searching the contribution caches of the query terms.

Abstract: A miniature air purifier (10) produces a corona
discharge surrounding a needle-like emitter point connected
to a novel negative 8,000-volt DC power supply. The power
supply operates from a nine volt battery (22) and contains
a step-up voltage inverter (36,37) having a single
transformer outputting high voltage spikes with a voltage
multiplier operating on the output of the inverter. The
production of high voltage spikes of about 200 Hz rather
than a sinusoidally varying voltage significantly reduces
current consumption. The needle-like emitter point is
located about ¼-inch from an 80% open mesh metallic grid
held at ground potential. Corona discharge at the emitter
point ionizes the air and creates ozone, and nitric oxide
both of which combine with direct electron impact
decomposition to detoxify and destroy a wide variety of
airborne pollutants including pathogens, chemicals and
allergens. The grid attracts negatively ionized air
molecules thereby creating a flow of purified air out of
the device and also provides a surface for
electroprecipitation of ionized particulates. An
alternative embodiment uses a miniature brushless DC fan to
draw room air through a pathogen and pollutant removing
filter. The filtered air is exposed to the corona
discharge for additional purification and then accelerated
out of the device by the emitter point and grid.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for receiving a web with intermittent motion and converting it to constant motion, particularly for severed carton items. A reciprocating carriage has first and second adjacent idler rollers and a third roller spaced away from the first two. A driven roller has a fixed axis and is located with respect to the third idler roller such that the web when stung between the first and second rollers and thence around the third roller and thence around the driven roller, assumes a quasi-boustrophedonic configuration such that a portion of the web can be accumulated between the third idler roller and the driven roller when the carriage moves in the direction which increases the distance between them. Upper and lower endless belts pass partially around the first and second translating rollers respectively and once juxtapositioned, between the two idler rollers, thence around the third translating idler roller, thence around the driven roller, thence along different respective return paths. The driven roller is rotated at substantially constant speed, and the carriage is moved in a first direction corresponding to that portion of the cycle when the web movement has been arrested, and for moving the carriage in the second direction opposite the first direction when web movement resumes.

Abstract: In a vehicle mounted satellite signal receiving apparatus which adopts a satellite tracking system combining a gyro tracking with a hybrid tracking, there is provided a device which can revise an offset error correction value of a gyro sensor, even if there is a drift in the offset error. In this device, gyro tracking is performed when a reception level is a threshold value L c  or more. The gyro tracking is performed by setting an antenna at an angular velocity ω, which is derived from an equation, ω = -ωG + ΔωG, where -ωG is a value resulted from conversion of sign for gyro angular velocity ωG, and ΔωG is a prescribed offset error correction value. A reception level declines if the offset error correction value ΔωG deviates and therefore an apparent offset error arises in the gyro sensor. When the reception level declines below a threshold value L B , the aforementioned offset error correction value ΔωG is revised, basing on the direction of an angular velocity ωS which is used in the hybrid tracking (or step tracking).

Abstract: On vehicles provided with a single reception antenna or with several adjacent reception antennas (A3, A4) coupled to the go-and-return lines of a track conductor (L), the phase angle of the reception voltage is retained when the reception level falls below a particular reception level (SW1). If the level (SW2) of the reception voltage rises again, the actual phase position of the reception voltage (UA3) can be compared with the retained reception voltage. When the phases of the reception voltages to be compared are in opposition, one concludes that the vehicle is passing over a track conductor crossing (K). When the phases of the reception voltages to be compared are the same, this indicates a passing transmission disturbance. The phase angle of the comparison voltage is preferably retained by a flywheel oscillator. The difference in time between actual reception voltage (UA3) and comparison voltage is preferably determined by evaluating the peak values of both voltages.

Abstract: A cache for use with a network filter that receives,
stores and ejects local rule bases dynamically. The cache
stores a rule that was derived from a rule base in the
filter. The cache rule is associated in the cache with a
rule base indicator indicating from which rule base the
cache rule was derived, and a rule base version number
indicating the version of the rule base from which the
cache rule was derived. When the filter receives a
packet, the cache is searched for a rule applicable to a
received packet. If no such rule is found, the filter rule
base is found, and an applicable rule is carried out and
copied to the cache along with a rule base indicator and
version number. If a cache rule is found, it is
implemented if its version number matches the version
number of the rule base from which it was derived.
Otherwise, the cache rule is deleted. The cache provides
an efficient way of accurately implementing the rules of
a dynamic rule base without having to search the entire
rule base for each packet.

Abstract: In a refrigerant cycle system, a gas-liquid separator
(200, 300) has a gas-suction pipe (276) for introducing gas
refrigerant from the gas-liquid separator to a compressor (22).
The gas-suction pipe has an open end (277) opened in a gas-refrigerant
area in the gas-liquid separator, a first suction
hole (278), provided in a liquid-refrigerant area of the gas-liquid
separator, for sucking liquid refrigerant containing
lubricating oil, and a second suction hole (279) provided in
the gas-refrigerant area of the gas-liquid separator. The
second suction hole for sucking gas refrigerant is formed in
the gas-suction pipe at a downstream refrigerant side of the
first suction hole. Therefore, a flow rate of gas refrigerant
passing through around the first suction hole in the gas-suction
pipe is decreased due to introduction of gas
refrigerant by the second suction hole, thereby decreasing
quantity of liquid refrigerant sucked from the first suction
hole. Thus, liquid refrigerant is prevented from excessively
returning to the compressor, even if the first suction hole is
enlarged.
