Patent EP-0283193-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DAHBURA ANTON TIMOTHY
IPC: G06F15/177
Filed: 1988-03-09
Abstract: A method of detecting and identifying faulty processors in a multiprocessor system. A processing task is assigned when possible to two processors, a primary processor and a secondary processor if a second idle processor is available. In one embodiment, the operations of a secondary processor are preempted and that processor is reassigned as primary for another task if no idle processor is available when the task is initiated. In a second embodiment, the operations of a secondary processor are not preempted, and a new task is queued until an idle processor becomes available. If a secondary processor completes a task, its results are compared with the results of the primary processor. Disagreement messages are broadcast to a central controller in a nondistributed embodiment and to all the processors in the system in a distributed embodiment. The disagreement messages are periodically analyzed by the controller or by each processor. In the distributed embodiment, the analysis algorithm is such that each nonfaulty processor identifies the same subset of faulty processors.

Title: Biased pretransfer baffle
Inventor: CASEY BRENDAN C
IPC: G03G15/16
Filed: 1988-06-22
Abstract: An electrographic printing apparatus (10) has a charge retaining member (42) with a relatively high background potential of a first polarity, and a transfer corotron (50) having a relatively high potential of a second polarity providing a transfer region (48) for a transfer of toner to copy sheets (70). A pretransfer baffle (52) disposed adjacent to the transfer corotron to prevent image degradation, especially the halo effect. The pretransfer baffle is charged to a potential approximately the same as the charge retaining member and with the same polarity. A gap is present between the pretransfer baffle and the charge retaining member for the passage of copy sheets to the transfer region, and the copy sheet is brought into contact with the charge retaining member before reaching the transfer region. Preferably the copy sheets are conveyed to the baffle at a relatively large angle, e.g. between 30° and 80°, with respect to the charge retaining member.

Abstract: There is provided a method of preparing and bonding neodymium-boron-iron magnets in a motor field assembly. In the preferred embodiment, the neodymium-boron-rion magnet material is cleaned and then neutralized and coated in a zinc phosphate process. Advantageously, the zinc phosphate neutralizes surface effects of contaminants and provides a relatively large surface area having numerous mechanical interlocking sites receptive to ad­hesives and coatings. The zinc phosphate coated magnet is bonded to a substrate using a flexible epoxy adhesive. In the preferred embodiment a durable, corrosion resistant coating such as amide imide is applied to the exposed, non-bonded surfaces of the coated magnet. 
     The resulting structure is a magnet 10 coated on all sides with a zinc phosphate coating 12, bonded on one side thereof by a flexible epoxy adhesive 14 to a sub­strate 16 and coated on the remaining sides thereof with a protective amide imide layer 18.

Title: Wickerwork band and method of making it
Inventor: SCHUTZ KURT
IPC: B27D1/00
Filed: 1989-02-02
Abstract: The wickerwork band serves for producing wattling and wickerwork products. During wickerworking, relatively great forces are applied to the wickerwork material, in particular as tensile or longitudinal force. In order to absorb these forces and also to be able to use wood of relatively low strength, the wickerwork band consists of veneer wood (1) in strip form, on the rear side of which a woven textile fabric (2) is applied and firmly bonded to the veneer wood (1). The woven textile fabric (2) covers the entire rear side of the veneer (1) and is adhesively attached on the veneer wood (1) by a water-insoluble glue. In the method of making this wickerwork band, a plurality of veneers are bonded together alongside one another. Then, the adhesive is applied to the underside. The woven textile fabric (2) is placed on top and bonded to the veneer (1) by applying pressure. Finally, the veneer (1) is cut into strips of desired widths. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A seat or chair especially for a flight attendant in an aircraft has a backrest section and a seat section hinged to each other and to a frame in such a way that the backrest section and the seat section can take up different angular positions relative to each other and relative to a vertical frame or to the horizontal. Thus, the chair can be folded to take up several positions including positions in which the seat section takes up lower or higher elevations above the floor. For this purpose the upper end of the back rest section is pivotally guided in a guide mechanism while the lower end of the backrest section is journalled to the rear portion of the seat section at a journal axis which simultaneously forms the journal axis of a support and guide member also hinged to the seat section. The support and guide member is hinged intermediate its ends to the frame through a fixed journal so that the rear edge of the support and guide member can engage a stop in the frame. The guide mechanism at the upper end of the frame permits a tilting motion and a linear sliding motion of the upper end of the backrest section. Thus, the seat section, the backrest section, and the support and guide member together form a type of crank drive. Several positions of the chair may be adjusted, including a lower seat position in which the seat section is slanted relative to the horizontal for an increased comfort.

Abstract: A process for preparing a polyarylene sulfide involves contacting a sulfur source with a metallic salt of ω -hydroxycarboxylic acid and a dihalogen aromatic compound in an organic polar solvent, thereby carrying out polycondensation with stability in a polymerization system in which a water content is large. The polyarylene sulfide prepared has a high degree of whiteness and with a sufficiently high molecular weight. 
     The use of the metallic salt of ω -hydroxycarboxylic acid in a particular range can provide a novel polyarylene sulfide.

Abstract: An extruder for processing wood particles, shavings or sawdust is particularly useful for the production of a refined product exhibiting a large number of separated, individual fibers each of a relatively long length as is desirable in the production of a fiber core for a composite particle board. The extrusion apparatus comprises an elon­gated barrel and a flighted screw rotatable within the barrel, with the final downstream section of the screw being of a configuration to sequentially present three processing zones each having a com­pression region, a restricted region and a decom­pression region. The three processing zones of the final screw section cooperate with a compression region and restricted region formed in the final head section to choke the advancement of wood materials through the extruder sufficiently to enable satisfactory processing of the same without the use of a final die or restricted orifice dis­posed on the outlet of the extruder barrel. In particularly preferred forms, restriction elements in the form of rectangular bars are disposed across the grooves of the screw and grooves of the head in the restricted region, and the bars are oriented in acute angular relationship relative to each other in scissors-like fashion to promote rolling and twisting apart of the fibers while maintaining the longitudinal integrity of the same.

Abstract: A multiwheel landing gear assembly (10) includes a forward set of wheels (14) which are in tandem with a middle set of wheels (16) which in turn are in tandem with a rear set of wheels (18). The forward set of wheels (14) are connected to a main support strut (22) of the landing gear by a levered arrangement. The middle and rear set of wheels are connected together by a truck beam (46) which in turn is connected to the main support strut (22) by a radius rod (54). When the middle and rear wheels are subject to an upward force such as when the aircraft is landing, the radius rod (54) limits movement of the wheels in a generally upward direction along a path having a radius which is equal to the length of the radius rod (54). Movement of the middle and rear wheels along the path in the upward direction is resisted by a shock absorber (68). In this manner, the vertical loads are reacted in a lengthwise direction along the radius rod and shock absorber.
