Abstract: The invention provides a means of interacting with a subset of a large amount of related information that assists in providing a user with the overall understanding necessary to execute rapid and knowledgeable decision-making. It consists of a spreadsheet-like client application which interacts with a planning data repository (PDR) and its associated computing resources. All of the data used in computing the values shown in the spreadsheet cells are derived directly from the PDR. Any changes made by the user to the displayed data are sent to the PDR and, when validated, incorporated into the overall data following a two-step process of 'calculate' and 'save'. At the user's desktop machine, the user views a window which contains information temporarily stored locally within the client computer for use by a script application. Not all of the information stored for the script application is necessarily visible on the display at any one time, and scroll bars are provided to permit the user to view information stored but not currently visible. The data shown on the client computer screen may be a representation of a planning cube (or data cube) that is a subset of the Planning Data Repository data. In a further embodiment of the invention the user is able to change the various relationships amongst the data and these alterations sent to the PDR for computation.

Abstract: An electromagnetically actuated power transmitting assembly (8) has a cup shaped pulley structure (30) mounted for rotation about the input shaft (14) of a power driven device (10). The pulley structure (30) has an outer annular driven portion (32) for engaging an endless flexible driving element (12) such that engine driven movement of the driving element rotates the pulley structure (30). The outer annular portion (32) has ferromagnetic material along at least an internal diametrical periphery thereof to allow magnetic flux to flow therethrough. A one-piece flux carrier/mounting structure (60) is formed from ferromagnetic material and has a mounting portion (62) fixedly mounted to the power driven device and an annular flux carrier portion (64) nested within the cup shaped pulley structure (30) to allow the pulley structure to rotate relative to the flux carrier and to allow magnetic flux to flow therebetween. An annular magnetic coil (70) for inducing a field of magnetic flux is fixedly mounted in the carrier portion (64). A selectively movable clutch has a magnetically attractable disc portion (48) and a biasing member (50) biasing the disc portion to a disengaged position. The clutch is mounted such that energizing the coil (70) induces a magnetic flux which overcomes the bias and selectively moves the disc portion from the disengaged position to an engaged position wherein the clutch couples the pulley structure (30) and the input shaft (14) for rotation. De-energizing the coil (70) enables the biasing member (50) to move the disc portion (48) to the disengaged position de-coupling the pulley structure (30) the input shaft (14) to allow the pulley structure (30) to rotate relative thereto. <IMG>

Granted: 2006-07-11
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant de réguler une pluralité de canaux de communication secondaires dans un réseau informatique. La pluralité de canaux de communication secondaires utilisent le commutateur pour transmettre le volume de trafic à travers le réseau. Le procédé et le système intègrent le fait de permettre la mise en place d'un flux minimal pour chacun de la pluralité de canaux de communication secondaires et de déterminer si le canal concerné est encombré. En cas d'encombrement avéré, le temps fixé pour réguler les canaux de communication secondaires est fixé pour une période sensiblement plus longue que pour réguler les baisses ou les augmentations individuelles du débit des canaux de communication secondaires. Le débit est régulé de manière que le débit du canal de communication secondaire puisse être augmenté de manière linéaire si le débit de la pluralité de canaux de communication secondaires est inférieure au débit minimal. Le débit est également régulé de manière que le débit de la pluralité de canaux de communication secondaires soit réduit de manière exponentielle si le débit est supérieur au débit minimal. Pour déterminer si le débit du canal de communication secondaire augmente ou baisse, il est possible de définir une seconde fois l'encombrement. Le volume de trafic à travers le commutateur est de ce fait stable.

Granted: 2005-04-05
Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing a transition-controlled.   DC-balanced sequence of characters from an input sequence of data bytes is disclosed herein. The bits in each of the data bytes are selectively complemented in accordance with the number of logical '1' signals in each data byte in order to produce selectively complemented data blocks. A cumulative disparity is then determined between the logical values of different type included within ones of the selectively complemented data blocks previously encoded into characters. In addition, a current disparity in a candidate character associated with a current one of the selectively complemented data blocks being encoded is also determined. The candidate character is assigned to the current one of the selectively complemented data blocks if the current disparity is of a polarity opposite to a first polarity of the cumulative disparity.        Alternately, the complement of the candidate character is assigned to the current one of the selectively complemented data blocks if the current disparity is of the first polarity. In a high-transition mode of operation, the bits within data blocks including fewer than a minimum number of logical '1' signals ate selectively complemented so that each such selectively complemented data block includes in excess of the minimum number of logical transitions. In a low-transition mode of operation, the bits within data blocks having more than a predefined number of logical '1' signals are selectively complemented so that each such selectively complemented data block includes less than the maximum number of logical transitions.
