Abstract: Data input through a key switch (3) is displayed on a liquid crystal display (2) and is stored in an EEPROM (7). The data stored in the EEPROM (7) is immediately read out to check whether the read data coincide with the input data. If the data stored in the EEPROM (7) and read out therefrom does not coincide with the input data, the input data is stored again. If the input data cannot be stored in the EEPROM (7) after storage operation is performed a predetermined number of times, a CPU (4) determines, on the basis of a signal from a battery voltage detecting circuit (10), whether a voltage applied from a power supply circuit (8) to the EEPROM (7) exceeds a predetermined voltage. On the basis of this determination result, the CPU (4) causes the liquid crystal display (2) to display a cause for the disabled storage operation with respect to the EEPROM (7).

Abstract: The installation for producing sanitary hot water has a buffer accumulator (1) which is connected to the cold water pipe (7) and to the hot water service pipe (9) of a building. From the accumulator part of the buffer accumulator (1), to which the cold water pipe (7) is connected, a supply pipe (11) leads to a heat exchanger (13), and from the accumulator part which is connected to the hot water service pipe (9), a hot water outlet pipe (15) leads to the heat exchanger (13). Supply and outlet pipes (11, 15) can be completely or partially bridged by means of a shut-off member (19) and a bypass pipe (1). The installation according to the invention provides sanitary hot water immediately after the supply of heat by the heat exchanger (13) since, because of the sanitary water which circulates completely or partially through the bypass pipe (17), only a small volume of sanitary water is heated at the beginning of heating. Moreover, a constantly hot sanitary water temperature is maintained irrespectively of the quantity of sanitary water just removed, since the heated sanitary water is removed from the consumer directly at the outflow of the sanitary hot water already stored in the buffer accumulator (1). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for enabling a cluster of computers to appear as a single computer to host computers outside the cluster. A host computer communicates only with a gateway to access destination nodes and processes within the cluster. The gateway has at least one message switch which processes incoming and outgoing port type messages crossing the cluster boundary. This processing comprises examining certain information on the message headers and then changing some of this header information either to route an incoming message to the proper computer node, port and process or to make an outgoing message appear as if originated at the gateway node. The message switch uses a table to match incoming messages to a particular routing function which can be run to perform the changes necessary to correctly route different kinds of messages.

Abstract: An implantable cardiac stimulator with an analog-to-digital converter which comprises timing means for defining measurement cycles. During successive cycles, the value of a cardiac waveform is sampled. The difference between sampled values in two different measurement cycles produces a value whose probability is predicted. A digital code is assigned to each expected difference value such that difference values with a high expected probability have a shorter code and values with a low probability have a longer code. Means are provided for assigning a digital code based on the determined difference, the digital code being of predetermined variable size, the size of the code being proportional to the predicted probability of occurrence of a particular difference. The variability in code length permits the resulting digital representation of the waveform to be compressed and the energy required for conversion to be reduced. Different codes can be assigned to a detected difference depending on the type of waveform (normal, tachycardia, fibrillation) which is being detected.
