Title: Power on reset & watchdog circuit
Inventor: O'CONNOR MICHAEL
IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 1987-03-10
Abstract: A power on reset and watchdog circuit for a microprocessor (IC1) inhibits operation of the microprocessor for a predetermined period of time on initial application of power and thereafter enables the microprocessor as long as it receives an appropriate signal (pin 2 of IC1) from the microprocessor indicating normal operation. If this signal fails, the microprocessor is reset. Two circuits can be used with additional logic gates with a pair of microprocessors such that only one is enabled when power is first applied, and if this should fail to operate subsequently the second is enabled and the first inhibited. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2234965-A (GB)
Title: Container closure
Inventor: MOORE KENNETH SIMON AYLETT
IPC: B65D47/20
Filed: 1989-08-08
Abstract: A container closure for use with a flexible container, preferably for sterile fluids, comprises a closure body (12) having therethrough a passage within which is a valve assembly which allows fluid to pass in only one direction, and only when the fluid pressure exceeds a predetermined level. In a preferred embodiment the valve assembly has a spring loaded ball (20) which normally seals a valve port in an annular body (18). In response to increased fluid pressure, as a result of the container being compressed, the ball (20) moves away from the valve port allowing fluid to escape from the container. As soon as compression ceases, the ball (20) moves to close the valve port thereby preventing air contamination of the contents of the container. The spring (22) and/or the annular body may be formed as a unitary plastics moulding with the body (12). <IMAGE>

Title: Message routing in a multiprocessor computer system
Inventor: NUGENT STEVEN F
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1989-11-16
Abstract: A parallel processing computer system comprises at least three nodes; each of the three nodes for processing information. Each of the nodes comprises a routing means for routing information between nodes which allows reservation of a route through a network of nodes. Messages may then be transmitted from an origin node to a destination node over the reserved route. Use of a route reservation system reduces requirements for buffering of information at intermediate nodes on a route, improves message passing latency and increases node-to-node bandwidth. The system provides communication of messages between nodes in a synchronous manner. <IMAGE>
