Title: Apparatus for joining water structure sections or the like
IPC: E02B7/00
Filed: 1992-01-14
Abstract: A coupling sleeve arrangement and method for joining or interconnecting water structure sections into a dam or other water or liquid containing barrier where each water structure section consists of at least two closed water filled inner sleeves or bags that are contained within an outer sleeve. A coupling sleeve of the invention is for joining the water structure sections together and is an open outer sleeve that contains a water filled plug. The coupling sleeve, in one configuration and prior to water filling, receives ends of water structure sections that are fitted therein, abutting the connecting sleeve plug, which inner sleeves and plug are then filled with water through filler spouts that are then closed. Alteratively, to intersect one water structure section with another, prior to filling, a water structure section end is fitted into an end of the coupling sleeve abutting the plug, and a another empty water structure section is laid over the other coupling sleeve end and the respective inner sleeves and plugs are water filled and expand the inner sleeves and the plug, the end of the connecting sleeve plug fitting tightly against the side of the other water structure section. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and system for time zero backup session security.
Inventor: COHN ODED
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 1993-04-13
Abstract: A data backup copying session on a data processing system is secured responsive to initiation of the data backup session by an application executing on a processing unit by generating a unique identifier for the data backup session. Thereafter, all member paths of a group of paths designated by the processing unit for communication between itself and the first storage subsystem are identified and associated with the data backup session. Access to the session is thereafter allowed only along a member path of the group of paths associated with the data backup session. The system and method further provide for fault recovery and protection against excessive demand on storage control unit memory. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1993-12-10
Abstract: Four embodiments of disk cartridges (20) are described. Each 
embodiment is made from a unitary blank of foldable material, such as 
paperboard or plastic. The cartridges are particularly useful for 
containing and protecting 130 mm optical disks. Shown are interior 
brackets (41) integrally formed on panels of the cartridges and that 
extend to and engage a facing panel for both stiffening the cartridge 
axially of the contained disk and for physically restraining the 
contained disk from radial movements in the cartridge. The cartridge may 
have information containing holes (16). The interior brackets also 
stabilize the panel immediately adjacent the hole for enabling mechanical 
hole sensing. An interior bracket is shown as being integral with one 
end wall of the cartridge. Notches in two side walls of the cartridge 
are provided for facilitating automatic cartridge handling.

IPC: F23C6/04
Filed: 1993-05-10
Abstract: Fuel is burned in accordance with a burning method and apparatus in two stages (62,64) and in the presence of first and second oxygen-containing gases, respectively. The second oxygen-containing gas (B) has a higher concentration of oxygen than the first oxygen-containing gas. The fuel stream is burned in a first (62) of the two stages at a first equivalence ratio sufficiently greater than 1.0, so that thermal NOx formation is inhibited, a more heat transfer effective luminous flame is achieved and a combustible mixture comprising unburned and partially oxidised fuel and fuel radicals is are produced for combustion in the second (64) of the two stages. The combustible mixture is burned in the second of the two stages at an equivalence ratio of no greater than about 1.0 so that maximum heat is transferred to the first of the two stages to stabilise combustion therein, and the fuel radicals are sufficiently oxidised by the second oxygen-containing gas to inhibit formation of prompt NOx. <IMAGE>

IPC: G01R19/20
Filed: 1994-11-01
Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a sensitive DC current sensor, 
which has a relatively simple construction and a detecting capability with a 
good linearity, against current variations in a wide range from a microscopic 
current to a relatively large current (e.g. about 0.2 A to 20 A). In the 
configuration, wherein an exciting coil and a detecting coil are wound in a 
toroidal shape around a core consisting of an annular soft magnetic material, 
when a triangular waveform exciting current which produces a magnetic field 
exceeding a coercive force of the core is applied to the exciting coil, a direction 
of the magnetic flux in the core is inverted, whereby an absolute value and a 
direction of a DC current flowing through a lead wire being detected can be 
detected, by detecting an inverse timing by a pulse voltage produced in the 
detection coil for comparison measurement of the pulse intervals.

Abstract: A mark reader of the type comprising a light
source (21), a light scanner (22), a plurality of
mirror faces (23), read windows (13a, 13b) through
which scanning light reflected from the mirror faces
(23) is emitted and a light receiver (25) for receiving

operation, the reader generates a scanning pattern made
up of a plurality of trajectories. The reader is
switchable between different operational modes via a
mode changer. In one operational mode, which is
preferred for reading bar codes from menu sheets, a
reading operation is only validated for marks which
have been read with a particular one or ones of said
scan trajectories. In a further operational mode,
which is preferred for reading bar codes placed on
articles, a reading operation is validated for all scan
trajectories. The performance of either a conventional

Abstract: The present invention solves problems as follows:
a problem that, since light for displaying enters into
a semiconductor substrate, carrier induced by light
occurs in the semiconductor substrate (1), potential of the
substrate fluctuates, and hence display characteristics
become worse; a problem that, in the semiconductor
substrate, voltages are applied to the peripheral
driving circuits so as to operate the peripheral
driving circuits formed in a single-crystal area, which
makes display characteristics worse by the voltages
being conducted to the display area through the
substrate; and a problem that, in case potentials of
adjacent pixels (12) greatly differ, the difference locally
changes. For this purpose, in a display unit including
an active matrix substrate having an image display
portion being provided with a plurality of switches and
a driving circuit for supplying driving signals to the
switches around the image display portion, an opposing
substrate (16) opposing the active matrix substrate and
having a transparent electrode (15), and a liquid crystal
material (14) between both of the active matrix substrate
and the opposing substrate, heavily doped impurity
regions having impurity density heavier than that of
the semiconductor substrate are formed in the image
display portion, and the heavily doped impurity regions
are connected to a fixed potential around the image
display portion.

Abstract: A communication protocol is provided for centralized power
line networks, which allows for automatic network mapping
and adaptive routing, for automatic log-on of remote nodes
and also for optimization of communication routes and
control of the traffic volume. 
     A central unit (CU) polls all the known remote nodes (RN)
and a polled RN replies with a message. A new remote node
(RN), which hears a polling command from the CU, transmits
a Burst-Log-On Message direct to the CU. A new RN, which
hears a reply of polled RN, but not the polling message
itself, transmits a Burst Log-On Message, using the
replying RN as a relay. A route may include several relays
between the new RN and the CU and all of them are
registered in the Log On message itself. When the CU
receives the message from the new RN, it performs a log on
of the RN, stores its route, and polls it in the next
polling cycle. This process is continuous, enabling the
addition of new nodes. RN with no communication behaves as
a new one and creates a new route.
