Title: Managing communication failures of PCI Express interconnects
Inventor: PIEKARSKI MAREK
IPC: G06F11/07
Filed: 2011-10-05
Abstract: A server 35 includes a CPU PCI Express Root Complex 36 connected to resilient cable adaptor 37 via PCI express connection 38. Resilient cable adaptor 37 connects CPU/RC 36 to PCI express cable adaptor 38 within remote I/O appliance 39, also housing a network interface card (NIC) 41, via a cable 40. Resilient cable adaptor 37 provides logic and hardware to monitor for failure of downstream components, e.g. to detect when a cable is unplugged, listen for messages indicating a problem with NIC 41, or using a timer, the expiry of which indicates the occurrence of a failure. Upon detection of a communication failure, resilient cable adaptor 37 emulates the NIC 41, e.g. by generating data packets which appear to be generated by NIC 41, to provide CPU/RC 36 with a suitable non-fatal error message indicating that NIC 41 is unusable or unreachable. The error message may indicate that the NIC is available but in a state in which it cannot be used, e.g. emulating a state in which Ethernet cable 43 has been unplugged. Thus, the invention allows CPU/RC 2 to cease sending data packets to NIC 41 without causing failure of the server 35 as a whole.

Title: Fuel nozzle having a cavity for collecting residual fuel when the delivery of fuel is terminated
Inventor: O'DRISCOLL SEAN
IPC: B67D7/54
Filed: 2012-01-18
Abstract: The present invention provides a novel fuel dispensing nozzle 2, which prevents the incidence of fuel spillage when the delivery of fuel is terminated. The nozzle 2 is provided with a fuel delivery tube 4 having a fuel recovery cavity 6 extending along its length. The fuel delivery tube 4 and the cavity 22 are interconnected by an aperture 20, and a restrictor ring 22 may be located in a push fit relationship within said tube 4 with a downstream end 24 thereof adjacent an upstream edge 26 of the aperture 20. The cavity 6 is closed at either end (16, 18, Fig.2). When the nozzle 2 is in use, fuel being delivered through the fuel delivery tube 4 is accelerated as it passes through the restrictor ring 22 to cause a drop in pressure within the fuel recovery cavity 6. Thus, when the delivery of fuel is automatically terminated by fuel backing up and reaching a pressure sensing aperture 32, any spillage is prevented because any residual fuel is drawn into the fuel recovery cavity 6.

Title: Polling signal adapted to both legacy and enhanced transducer units in a wired data communications network of a building fire or intruder alarm system
Inventor: CUTLER JEFFREY JOHN
IPC: G08B25/00
Filed: 2012-09-19
Abstract: A wired data communications network is provided including a control unit connected by cable to a series of uniquely addressable transducers for the transmission and reception of data in a polling signal. The transducers may be legacy transducers, and/or enhanced (high performance) transducers. The polling signal (figure 10) has the same structure of voltage pulses and current pulses as a conventional polling signal (figure 7), except for the addition of a high performance extension phase 1001 added at the beginning of a legacy transmission system message (figure 7). The extension 1001 allows extra information to be transmitted without affecting legacy transceiver units. Legacy transducer units decode the start voltage pulse 701a which immediately follows the high performance extension 1001, and this clears the data that was sent in the high performance extension. Each legacy transducer then responds to the legacy data frame 701 and 702 in the normal way (see figure 9). High performance transceiver units accept the high performance extension 1001 as valid data, and act upon the extension 1001, as well as the legacy transmitted data in phase 701 (see figure 11). In the same way they transmit status data in the legacy phase 702.
