Abstract: A system for performing concurrent read and write cycles in a network switch. The
network switch includes several network ports, a data bus and a switch manager to execute a
concurrent read and write cycle on the data bus by asserting a first port number to identify a
source port followed by a second port number to identify a destination port. Each of the
ports includes a network interface for sending and receiving data packets and a data
interface to store the first port number, to assert data received from the network interface
onto the data bus if that port is identified by the first port number, and to retrieve data from
the data bus for transmission by the network interface if that port is identified by the second
port number. In this manner, data is transferred directly between a source and a destination
port without being buffered in the switch manager. The bandwidth of the data bus is
increased since data is transferred only once on the data bus. Latches are provided for the
ports to latch the read port number to allow that write port number to be asserted during the
cycle. A method of executing a concurrent read and write cycle includes the steps of
asserting a first port number to identify a source port, latching the first port number,
asserting a second port number to identify a destination port, and concurrently writing and
reading the data on the data bus.

Abstract: A needle assembly for use with a catheter. The needle assembly includes a valve disposed in a first shaft; the valve seals, when closed, fluid flow from a first side of the valve to a second side of the valve. The needle assembly further includes a needle system having a second shaft disposed parallel to the first shaft. The second shaft has a first dimension at a first position on the second shaft and has a second dimension at a second position on the second shaft. The second position corresponds to a position of the valve when the needle system is inserted into the valve such that the second position aligns with the position of the valve. In this manner, the valve is stressed less during storage when the needle system remains inserted through the valve. The valve is typically part of an introducer member which includes the first shaft and a flexible sheath which encloses a portion of the second shaft of the needle system.

Abstract: This invention relates to improvements in selecting prediction
parameters, particularly in relation to, but not exclusively to, selecting motion
vectors in the compression of digital video signals. 
     This invention provides a method and apparatus for generating a
compressed output digital signal 16 by using temporal compression. The
output digital signal 16, includes prediction parameters, e.g. motion vectors in
digital video compression. An initial estimate is made for each of the
prediction parameters and stored in a buffer 31. The prediction parameters
are updated recursively 32 with reference to other prediction parameters.
One advantage of this method is that the prediction parameter estimates 34
are more robust to noise. This avoids the situation where small advantages
in picture quality are outweighed by a larger codeword. The output signal 16
can therefore be transmitted using less bandwidth.

Abstract: A fuel filter assembly (22) employs a hand primer (10) and a
disposable filter cartridge (18) mounted to a header (14). The filter cartridge
(18) has a filter element (36) which defines an interior chamber (42) for
receiving the filtered fuel. The hand primer includes a diaphragm (48) which
cooperates with the header to define a reservoir (46) and a valve plate (66)
having a plurality of orifices and an axial opening for providing fluid
communication between an exit passage of the header and the reservoir
(46) and between the chamber (42) and the reservoir (46), respectively. A
first check valve (118) is mounted in the opening and a second check valve
(140) is mounted in an axial bore in the first check valve. The first and
second check valves (118, 140) are moveable between an open position for
allowing flow through the orifices of the valve plate (66) and orifices in the
first check valve (118), respectively, and a closed position for preventing
such flow. The filter assembly (22) is primed by pushing the diaphragm (48)
downwards, creating a high pressure which moves the first check valve
(118) to the open position and the second check valve (140) to the closed
position, causing trapped air to be expelled through the orifices and the exit
passage. Removing the downwards force allows a spring (64) to return to
bias the diaphragm (48) upwards, creating a low pressure which moves the
first check valve (118) to the closed position and the second check valve
(140) to the open position, and drawing fuel from the interior chamber (42).
