Abstract: A gas mass flow sensor or probe (35, 37, 39) of an air flow sensing and control system (17, 19, 21) based upon hot-wire type devices where flow sensing is achieved by controlling the difference between two temperature sensing elements (51 and 53) suspended in the flow stream (41, 43, 45). The first element (53) is used to measure the ambient temperature of the fluid flow and the second element (51) is maintained at a programmed temperature (121) above ambient by a current-fed heater (49). The mass flow rate density is determined from heater current (117) required to maintain the temperature difference and the total flow in the duct is inferred. To measure the flow in which the elements (51, 53) are submerged, electronic circuitry monitors the two temperature elements (51, 53) and controls the amount of current through the heater (49) such that there will always be a predetermined difference between the ambient and heated temperatures. The sensor provides an output signal (101) for use by other devices (23). The output in this case is a current signal proportional to the mass flow and scaled to the input range of a utilization device. The sensor circuit (103) shuts off power to the heater (49) to prevent overheating in the case of exposure to operating temperatures in excess of a predetermined maximum. These functions are all performed at a location which is closely adjacent to a duct (11, 13, 15) in which the fluid flows.

Abstract: A block putter, usable with either a conventional or sidesaddle putting stance for a right-handed or left-handed golfer, having a head width in the range of about one halfto about twice the width of a golf ball. The increased width and potentially increased weight of the putter head improve its performance both on the green and when hitting from the fringe, the fairway, or the rough, or out of the sand. The golfer may use the toe of the putter, rather than one of the faces, to strike the ball, for increased accuracy, especially on short putts. Alternatively, the golfer may putt in a sidesaddle stance with the traditional putter face using a putter having an elongated shaft. The elongated shaft is of such a length as to allow for the end of the shaft to rest on the golfer's shoulder and help stabilize the putt.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for writing early within a memory cycle by holding only one of a true bitline and a reference bitline at a fixed potential, e.g. ground, when the sense amplifier is set. The sense amplifier amplifies a small voltage difference between the true bitline and the reference bitline to predetermined high and low voltage logic levels to write a datum to the memory cell. In this way, writing can complete in about the same time as reading, without risking corruption of data on adjacent bitlines in the memory. The bitlines are precharged to a fixed potential in a conduction path through the bitswitches, rather than using local precharge devices at the sense amplifier. To write, bitswitches and write path transistors apply the fixed potential to one of the true bitline and the reference bitline. Bitswitches on such other memory cells not currently being written isolate the bitline pairs coupled to those memory cells when setting the sense amplifiers, such that the stored contents of such memory cells not being written are refreshed (written back) at the time that the selected memory cell is written.

Abstract: A method and system for creating an ethernet-formatted packet from an upstream DOCSIS packet. The upstream packet is first received (610) along with packet characteristic data that is contained in physical layer prepend data and in the packet header. A packet tag is then created, based on the packet characteristic data. The packet characteristic data includes identifiers for the transmitting remote device and the channel over which the transmission is sent. Packet characteristic data also includes information about the physical characteristics of the transmission signal, such as the power level and time offset. The packet characteristic data also includes administrative information, such as the minislot count at which the packet is received and whether the packet was received in contention. The packet tag is appended (710) to the payload of the upstream packet. Also appended to the payload is an encapsulation tag, and source and destination address headers. The result is a packet in an ethernet format. The resulting packet can therefore be sent using the ethernet protocol. The packet includes information that characterizes a DOCSIS packet. In a distributed cable modem termination system, this additional characterizing information can be used by processes further upstream, such as packet classification. An analogous operation can take place with respect to packets going downstream. Here, a DOCSIS packet is formed at an intermediate node, on the basis of a received ethernet-formatted packet. <IMAGE>
