Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a method and an apparatus for
verifying configuration of storage devices ( 114, 116 ) in a computer system ( 100 ) based
upon device identifiers ( 308 ) within the storage devices. The method and apparatus
provide a computer system that reads ( 402 ) device identifiers from storage devices in the
computer system, and uses the device identifiers to create ( 406 ) a mapping ( 202 )
associating the device identifiers with corresponding physical paths (310, 312, 314) to the
storage devices. Upon reconfiguration of the storage devices, the computer system again
reads ( 704, 804 ) device identifiers from storage devices in order to verify that the system
was reconfigured correctly. In a variation on this embodiment, the computer system
additionally associates ( 404 ) a logical path with each storage device. When the computer
system subsequently receives an access request for the storage device directed to the logical
path, the computer system translates ( 606 ) the logical path into an associated physical path,
and uses ( 506 ) the physical path to access ( 500 ) the storage device.

Abstract: An ink composition for a meltable ink usable in printing apparatus in which ink
droplets are ejected from ink ducts, the ink composition containing an amorphously
solidifying monomer compound, which compound shows a crystallinity of less than 1 %
when a melt of the compound is cooled at a rate of 5°C/min to past its solidification
path and is then heated at a rate of 20°C/min to above its melting temperature. 
     A compound of this kind can be used in a binder for the ink composition. When

Abstract: The present invention relates to the demultiplexing of a digital
data stream in a receiver so as to retain only those parts of the
digital data stream required by the receiver. Such
demultiplexing is particularly useful when applied to a receiver
circuit in a television system having a digital set-top-box. 
     A memory in the receiver stores packet identifiers of data
packets required by the receiver, which are stored in the memory
under the control of a first control circuit. A second control
circuit extracts packet identifiers from incoming data packets
in an input digital data stream. A third control circuit
receives the extracted packet identifier and determines whether
this matches one of the packet identifiers stored in the memory.
A match signal is set by the third control circuit to the second
control circuit responsive to a match. The second control
circuit demultiplexes the input data packet responsive to the
match signal.

Abstract: The present invention is a segmented flow device for performing the functions of a reactor, heat exchanger or holding tube or their combination. The device controls the residence time of all of liquid and solid particles which make up a flow in the device. By controlling the residence time, the prediction of residence time becomes less of an issue during processing. The segmented flow device reduces the difference in residence time between the fastest and slowest moving particles of the flow. The device allows all of the particles to receive nearly the same processing time to reduce under-processing or over-processing of the particles If desired, the device allows the residence time of the larger solid particles to be controlled to be longer or shorter than the average of the residence time of other particles of the flow, such as the liquid and smaller solid particles.
