Abstract: A relational data access facility allows relation-type queries to access data stored in non-relational data files by converting relational queries into a set of common commands which are sent to data drivers to obtain the data specified by those queries. The facility uses metadata which describes the organization of the data in the non-relational files, and examines the expressions in the relational queries to formulate an access plan for the data. The plan is formulated to reduce cost and promote efficiency.

Abstract: A video signal is recorded in successive tracks on a recording medium (2) together with a pilot signal, the latter having a frequency that changes cyclically with a different one of at least four frequencies in successive tracks. A field detector (24) detects sequential fields in the frames of the video signal, and rotation of the usual rotary transducers (1A, 1B) is servo-controlled in response to the detected sequence of fields and a pulse that is generated as the transducers (1A, 1B) rotate to represent the rotational phase of the transducers (1A, 1B). A pilot signal generator (23) generates the pilot signal with an initial frequency determined by an initial field in the detected field sequence, and with this frequency changing as a function of the detected sequential fields.

Abstract: A digital phase comparator measures the phase difference of two signals (S1, S3) from a third signal (S2), and calculates the difference. The zero crossing of the two signals respectively sets two flip-flops (11, 12). If both flip-flops are set, they are simultaneously reset with a delay. Each set flip-flop enables a corresponding counter (13, 14). An evaluation unit averages the counter outputs at major intervals. The phase comparator can be incorporated into a phase-locked loop.

Abstract: In order to create an improved control method for limiting the drive force of a drive, especially of a door drive or rotary wing drive, and to create an associated safety circuit which, with a very much higher level of safety, precludes the production of excessively high drive forces and moments, a redundant safety circuit is provided for calculating the torque of an electric motor. The torque is in this case normally calculated once for the electrical DC motor, from the current intensity. The torque is determined independently of this from the electric motor set of characteristics, using the rotation speed and the setting for full-load operation or partial-load operation of the electric motor. In the event of a discrepancy between the values, a suitable current-limiting circuit or interruption circuit can be activated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A hard disk drive utilizing a combination of thin film recording heads and media allows high density recording through virtual contact recording, while still providing excellent contact start stop performance and low stiction. The air bearing surface of the head has a microscopically fine texture which provides reliable mechanical performance with a constant and very low flying height. A skew insensitive constant flying height over the disk surface can be provided with the use of transverse pressure contour or cross-cut slider designs. The slider air bearing surface is textured by selective mechanical removal of subsurface damaged regions left behind during the diamond lapping of the slider air bearing surface, thereby leaving the slider less abrasive to the disk. A slider with this fine texture on the air bearing surface permits the use of a much smoother texture and thinner overcoat on the disk than currently possible using conventional sliders. This combination of slider and the disk allows the head to fly very close to the magnetic layer of the media without suffering from head crash or high stiction. This combination offers a low cost and simplified method of achieving a high recording density.

Abstract: A computer network for gathering information and reaching consensus in a multi-user collaborative environment for Process Safety Management (PSM). Comments and ideas are gathered simultaneously from team members in a meeting, using the network. Apparatus is provided for storing these inputs and retrieving them from a database, and for printing them in predefined formats. The system provides for team members to submit their ideas anonymously in a meeting so that people uncomfortable with speaking in front of a group can freely share their ideas. The system automatically records input so ideas are not lost or mis-recorded. The input is converted from the first database into a format for word processing to produce the required documents, into a format for a project management system to schedule the work to complete PSM documentation, and into a format to produce flow charts of the process being analyzed.
