Inventor: MYRON H ACKERMAN
IPC: A41D25/16
Filed: 1968-12-11
Abstract: A necktie having a fabric casing folded longitudinally and a lining of two layers of different crease-resistant fabrics which are the same size and cut on the same bias. The width of the double layer lining is the same as the interior of the casing. The centres of the linings are stitched to the over-lapping edges of the cases. One lining layer is acrylic or polyester; the other is rayon or wool. Prior art neck ties use materials which tend to cause knotting and stretching. The present invention improves the hand, stretch, and knotting characteristics by using a composite lining.

Title: Memory system with cycle independent data to echo clock tracking circuit
Inventor: PILO HAROLD
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 2000-10-06
Abstract: A comparator and variable delay circuit are provided to maintain the tracking between data and echo clocks in a double data rate (DDR)RAM device. This is accomplished by providing a global data signal (dummy data signal) that tracks with the actual memory array data. This global data signal is compared to the timing of the RAM clock (CLOCK) to determine a delay time between the two by which the pipeline clocks (CLKRISE/CLKFALL) must be delayed. As a result, the pipeline clocks are pushed out as needed so that they always transition after the array data arrives at the output latch. Therefore, as cycle time decreases, both echo clocks and data are pushed out identically and maintain their required tracking.
Patent GB-2364468-A (GB)
Title: Buffer management
Inventor: REEVE ANDREW
IPC: H04L12/70
Filed: 2000-10-10
Abstract: Described herein is a method for reassembling variable length packets from fixed length cells. When a variable length packet, for example, an Internet Protocol (IP) packet, is transmitted between routers over a link which transmits data as fixed length cells, for example, an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) link, the packet must be segmented into compatible fixed length cells. The receiving router must reassemble the original packet from the cells as they arrive. A packet buffer free pool (300) is provided which is maintained as a linked list, known as a 'free list', and which comprises a plurality of buffer elements (302, 304, 306, 308, 310, 312, 314, 316, 318, 320, 322, 324, 326, 328, 330, 332, 334, 336, 338, 340). When a first cell for a given packet arrives, a buffer element (302) is taken from the head of the free list and allocated to that packet. The packet data from the first and subsequent cells is copied into the allocated buffer element and each time the buffer element is moved to the end of the free list. Upon the arrival of the last cell for the given packet, the complete packet is processed. Failed reassemblies are automatically abandoned as the buffer element is reused when it reaches the head of the free list. This technique is relevant to protection against "denial of service" attacks upon computer networks.

Title: Gaming machine
Inventor: KUSUDA KAZUHIRO
IPC: A63F9/14
Filed: 2000-12-20
Abstract: A gaming machine sets a target payout rate and probabilities of winning and odds on a plurality of objects eg horses. The horses are rearranged in order of the probability of winning S201. The odds on the horse in first place are approximately corrected to odds with a predetermined number of digits S202. The probability of winning of the horse in the first place is corrected based on the corrected odds S203. The difference between the uncorrected probability of winning and the corrected probability of winning is reflected in the probability of winning of the horse in second place S205. The odds on the horse in second place are redetermined based on the corrected probability of winning S205. The whole processing is repetitively performed for the horses in all places. The difference in the probabilities of winning of the horse in last place is reflected again in the probabilities of winning of all the horses at predetermined ratios S206.

Title: Laterally extensible ladder
Inventor: BARTON GRAHAME ADRIAN
IPC: E06C1/38
Filed: 2001-07-25
Abstract: A ladder which is extensible laterally, ie in terms of its width. Several embodiments are described, some utilising arrangements whereby the length of the rungs of the ladder is telescopically extensible. In one embodiment of this type, a subsidiary rail 105 is located to the side of one or both of the main ladder rails 102, and rungs 104 attached to each subsidiary rail are slidably housed within the hollow main rungs 103 of the ladder. A further embodiment of the telescopically extensible type has rungs attached to one rail of the ladder being slidably housed within the rungs attached to the second rail. By increasing the separation between the subsidiary rail 105 and the main ladder element 101, or the separation between the main rails of the ladder in the case of the second embodiment, the useable width of the ladder is extended. In another embodiment, two ladders lying side by side are hingedly connected (204, fig 2) along the adjacent rails (102, 202, fig 2), such that the ladders can be folded into a closed position in which one ladder lies on top of the other. Unfolding the ladders effectively doubles the useable width.
