Patent EP-0569236-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KRUEGER MARK S
IPC: G11B20/18
Filed: 1993-05-06
Abstract: An array of disk drives (50,60) organized as a data storage system including n parity drives (60) forming n parity chains (A-D) where each parity drive maintains the parity bits of a different combination of data drives and each data drive (50) is included in at least two parity chains, and where no two data drives are associated with the same combination of parity chains. The present error correcting code (ECC) technique requires only n parity drives for up to 2n-n-1 data drives for a maximum total of 2n-1 disk drives. Each data drive is included in two or more parity chains and each parity chain is unique. The n parity drives are taken two at a time, then three at a time, and so on up to n at a time, each combination being unique, until all of the data drives are associated with parity chains. The ECC technique is implemented using a disk controller (22) which is coupled to the array of disk drives and constantly maintains the parity information on the parity drives. The disk controller selects appropriate parity chains to reconstruct the data of any two data drives that fail, and also performs the reconstruction onto replacement disk drives (70). Data striping or distribution of the data and parity information on the disk drives further increases the performance of a disk array using the present ECC technique.

Abstract: Video data is compressed according to a bit rate to be subdivided into data blocks each having a predetermined number of bits. The blocks are sent to a shuffling circuit to undergo a shuffling predetermined for the circuit. To concentrate errors onto a portion of the shuffled video data, the data is delivered to an inverse shuffling circuit (26) to be subjected to an inverse shuffling so as to restore the data undergone a shuffling predetermined for a recording or transmitting apparatus, thereby transmitting the resultant compressed data to a D-2 VTR (14). This possibly reduces the interpolation probability on the screen and disperses the data. Even at occurrence of a burst error exceeding a correction capacity, propagation of the error can be minimized.

Abstract: In the process for the continuous preparation of polymers containing recurring succinyl units, maleic anhydride or a derivative thereof as starting material A and ammonia or an ammonia-releasing compound or amides of carbonic acid as starting material B are mixed with one another and reacted in a first exothermic reaction step to give an N-containing, low-molecular-weight derivative of maleic acid. This derivative is then polymerised in a subsequent second reaction step. The reaction of the starting materials (A and B) in the first reaction step takes place substantially adiabatically. The heat of reaction liberated during this reaction is utilised to bring the reaction mixture to the polymerisation temperature and to polymerise, at least partially, the N-containing, low-molecular-weight derivative in the second reaction step to give a polymer containing recurring succinyl units.

Abstract: A protective wall structure (38) for protecting boiler tubing in facilities using refuse as a fuel source to produce steam for electrical power generation. The protective wall structure includes an array of shielding tiles (44), heat transfer bonding material (46), and elongated compressible material (48). The shielding tiles include a front surface (52) facing the interior combustion zone of the facility, a rear surface (54) facing the boiler tubes, and a plurality of sidewall surfaces. The heat transfer bonding material is positioned between the boiler tubes (40) and the rear surfaces of the shielding tiles to permit heat transfer and create a bond between the boiler tubes and the shielding tiles. The elongated compressible material is positioned between the sidewall perimeter surfaces of adjacent shielding tiles to provide an expansion joint. This permits relative expansion between adjacent shielding tiles without cracking upon an increase in temperature in the interior combustion zone.

Title: Conveyor oven with improved air flow
Inventor: HEBER ALBERT J
IPC: A21B1/26
Filed: 1995-01-20
Abstract: A conveyor oven is described having increased efficiency from enhanced flow therethrough. The oven consists of an upper plenum, a lower plenum, and a return plenum. The upper plenum is disposed above the conveyor and dispenses heated air through nozzles downwardly. The lower plenum is disposed below the conveyor and dispenses heated air upwardly. The upper and lower plenums are tapered from a maximum width of 2 1/2 inches to a minimum of no more than 15% thereof across the path of travel of the conveyor. A blower having a vertical axis of rotation is located at a midpoint between the upper plenum and the conveyor and a burner is located below the inlet between the inlet thereto and the return plenum. The outlet from the blower directs air through scrolls onto a baffle plate having rounded edges and from there into the upper and lower plenums. This scroll-like pattern with rounded edges and, in combination therewith, a similar scroll surrounding the burner tube directing air from the return plenum through the burner tube and into the fan has been found to be responsible for the improved efficiency.

Abstract: An asynchronous interrupt status bit circuit for use in conjunction with a microprocessor, which guarantees that no interrupting conditions are missed and that no single interrupting condition is indicated twice, includes a master latch (12), a transfer gate (14), a clocked latch (16), an inverter (18), an output driver circuit (20), and a clearing circuit (22, 24). The master latch (12) is responsive to an interrupt input signal for generating an interrupting logic signal at its output which is latched to a low logic level. The clearing circuit (22, 24) is responsive to a control signal for generating a clear signal to clear the output of the master latch (12) to a high level only when the control signal is latched at a high level before the time a true read signal is making a high-to-low transition. The next read signal causes an output signal having a low level to be read by the microprocessor if no interrupt input signal has occurred.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a nonvolatile memory cell and a current detecting type sense amplifier for detecting a current flowing through a data line into the memory cell. The semiconductor device is further provided with an element for outputting a first voltage detecting signal when a detected supply voltage exceeds a set value and outputting a second voltage detecting signal when the detected supply voltage does not exceed the set value. The sense amplifier includes an element for switching a dependent characteristic of a level sensing current upon the supply voltage to be higher in response to the second voltage detecting signal that in response to the first voltage detecting signal. Thus, error reading of a data from the memory cell, which can be otherwise caused under application of a low supply voltage, can be avoided.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of ameliorating the effects of misalignment between modulator arrays, and a system using the same. The ability reduce the effects of misalignment allows multiple, smaller, more cost effective arrays to be used instead of one large array. This can reduce the manufacturing costs of the array, especially arrays that are produced using semiconductor manufacturing processes such as the digital micromirror device. 
     To avoid visual artifacts caused by the misalignment of two or more modulator arrays 1702, 1704, the individual arrays are overlapped and the portion of the image is generated by both arrays. The contribution to the combined output by the overlapping arrays varies, with each array making a small contribution to the overlapped area 1706 at one end and a large contribution at the other end of the overlapped area 1706. Because the overlapping portions of the modulator arrays 1712 collectively form a portion of the image, the alignment error is effectively spread over the entire overlapping portion 1706 and is much less noticeable.
