Inventor: HINSLEY CHRISTOPHER ANDREW
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 1993-07-01
Abstract: A data processing system is described comprising a plurality of processors connected one to another in an arbitrary manner as nodes in a random network of processors and in which the network is arranged to perform a process of process allocation in which the processor at any given node in the network, upon receiving an instruction to perform a process, (a) decides whether it, or a data processor at one of the neighbouring nodes, is better able, at that time, to perform the process, the decision being made on the basis of continuously variable measures of the abilities of itself and the or each neighbouring processor to perform the process, and (b) in accordance with that decision either performs the process itself or passes the instruction to perform the process to the selected neighbouring processor.

Inventor: FILLIMAN PAUL DEAN
IPC: H03H11/20
Filed: 1996-09-20
Abstract: A source (20) provides an input signal (S1) to be phase shifted and a combining circuit (24) concurrently combines first (A), second (B) and third (C) intermediate signals derived from the input signal (S1), and having differing phase shifts (0, -45, +135 deg), to form a phase shifted output signal (S2). A first amplitude controller (34, 38, 30, 32), responsive to a phase control signal (S3) supplied thereto, varies the amplitudes of the second (B) and third (C) intermediate signals in opposite directions (38) for controlling the phase of the phase shifted output signal. Additionally, a further amplitude controller (40, 42) is provided for reducing a tendency for variations in the phase shift control signal (S3) to alter the amplitude of alternating current (Fig. 5) and direct current (Fig. 6) components of the phase shifted output signal (S2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for operating a discharge lamp, comprising
     input terminals for connection to a supply voltage source,   a load branch B provided with terminals for holding the discharge lamp and with inductive ballast means,   means I coupled to ends of the load branch B and the input terminals to generate a high-frequency voltage from the supply voltage furnished by the supply voltage source,   means II coupled to the means I to adjust the power consumed by the discharge lamp, the frequency of the high-frequency voltage being dependent upon the adjusted value of the power consumption,   a transformer having and secondary windings, each secondary winding being shunted by an electrode branch during lamp operation, which electrode branch includes an electrode of the discharge lamp, and having a primary winding.   
     According to the invention the circuit arrangement is characterized in that the primary winding forms part of a branch C which also includes a frequency-dependent impedance and which shunts the load branch. 
     Thus, it is achieved that a desired relationship exists between the heating currents through the electrodes and the discharge current over a wide range of the power consumed by the discharge lamp.

Abstract: The polariser includes a waveguide section (3) with a series of inwardly projecting variable irises. The irises are regularly spaced and are actuated by inductive or capacitive components according to the direction of the linear polarisation of an electric field. The irises can produce a differential phase shift of 90 degrees on two orthogonal components of the electric field to obtain a circularly polarised wave. Pairs of adjusting screws (30,31) are used to optimise the polariser without having to change the dimensions of the guide. The adjusting screws are in the median plane (P) of the irises and in the orthogonal plane (P').

Date Nov. 14, 1996A method of preoperatively selecting an intraocular lens to be implanted into an eye to postoperatively render the eye emmetropic or ametropic with a desired postoperative refraction comprises determining the location of the lens haptic plane of the eye, the corneal power of the eye and the axial length of the eye, choosing the desired postoperative refraction and assuming a lens to be implanted, the lens having a known power and geometry, including an offset between the lens haptic plane and an anterior vertex of the lens as if it was in its implanted state. With these parameters and refractive indices of the ocular fluids, a calculation is made to determine whether or not, postoperatively, focus will fall on the retina of the eye. If, from the calculation, it is determined that focus will not fall on the retina of the eye, another lens with a different power and/or geometry is assumed to be implanted and the calculation is repeated until the focus is calculated to fall on the retina of the eye. A lens of the nearest power available for which focusing on the retina was calculated is then selected for implantation.

Abstract: A method for encoding data on an article (1), said data being directly related to at least one characteristic of the article. According to the method, marks (R) are arranged on the article in a two-dimensional matrix consisting of an even number of paired vertical lines and an arbitrary number of horizontal lines. The marks are positioned at the intersections of certain vertical and horizontal lines, and the presence of a mark at the intersection between one vertical line and one horizontal line is related to the absence of a mark, i.e. a void (V), at the intersection between the same horizontal line and the other vertical line in the pair. The elementary value 1 is assigned to each 'bit' consisting of a mark (R) and the related void (V) arranged in a predetermined order, whereas the elementary value 0 is assigned to the 'bits' arranged in the reverse order. Once the reading order and direction of the 'bits' of the matrix have been predetermined, the first 'bit' is assigned the figure 1 if its value is 1, or 0 if its value is 0, and the nth 'bit' is assigned the figure 2<n-1> if its value is 1, or 0 if its value is 0. Finally, the figures are summed to give a number or 'code' having a value related to at least one characteristic of the article.

Abstract: In a process, a pipe (1) is connected to a press fitting (2) which has a cylindrical section (3) and a radially outward-projecting annular bead (5) at each end which, at the free end of the press fitting (2) has an inwardly directed bead shoulder (8) and internally forms an annular groove (10) in which is fitted a sealing ring (11). In order to make the connection, the press fitting (2) and the pipe (1) are inserted one into the other and the annular bead (5) and the cylindrical section (3) are pressed radially inwards with the plastic deformation of the pipe (1) as well. This is done by pressing the bead shoulder (8) into the pipe (1) to form a first narrowing (44), and a second narrowing (43) is formed in the pipe by pressing the cylindrical section (3) at a distance from the first narrowing (44) such that the shaping of the second narrowing (43) is separated from the first (44) in such a way that the first narrowing (44) has a radially outwardly projecting section (47) towards the second.
