Patent EP-0791811-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MEISTER JACK B
IPC: G01F23/296
Filed: 1997-01-10
Abstract: Liquid level is measured within a vessel (14) of predetermined height by
directing sonic or ultrasonic energy toward the liquid surface (18) from both above and beneath
the liquid surface, receiving energy returned from the liquid surface, and developing first and
second signals respectively indicative of headspace above the liquid surface and liquid height
within the vessel. These first and second signals are compared to the predetermined vessel
height so as to identify apparently erroneous first or second signals indicative of a total liquid
height and headspace either greater than or less than the predetermined height of the vessel.
Level of liquid in the vessel is then determined as a function of the first and second signals not
so identified as apparently erroneous. In this way, false signals caused by turbulence at the
liquid surface or an inclined liquid surface are automatically discarded, yielding a more
accurate reading of liquid level.

IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 1997-03-03
Abstract: A memory protection mechanism provides for the segmenting of memory 
addresses, which allows for a larger addressable memory space than would otherwise be expected 
from the 26-bit external address bus of the integrated circuit. Up to eight segments of memory 
may be defined, each of which may be programmed for start and stop addresses, access privileges, 
cacheabilty, memory word-length criteria, and memory bank assignment. Because multiple 
segments are associated with the chip enable, a single physical memory block may be divided into 
user and supervisor segments for both data and program memory. Such an arrangement provides 
additional memory segments over the conventional enable structure, and allow for separation of 
memory blocks without sacrificing other control capabilities.
