Abstract: A utility meter which provides multiple concurrent registering of commodity consumption data includes a source of commodity consumption signals (12), a measurement circuit (14), and a registering circuit (16). The source of commodity consumption signals is coupled to provide commodity consumption signals to the measurement circuit (14). The measurement circuit (14) is operable to generate commodity consumption data from the commodity consumption signals. The register circuit (16) is operably coupled to the measurement circuit (14) to receive the commodity consumption data therefrom. To this end, the register circuit (16) includes a memory (20) and a processor (18). The memory (20) stores a first set of parameters corresponding to a first metering mode, and a second set of parameters corresponding to a second metering mode. The processor is operable to generate first metering information by performing a metering routine a first time using the first set of parameters and the commodity consumption data, generate second metering information by performing the metering routine a second time using the second set of parameters and the commodity consumption data, such that the processor generates the first metering information and the second metering information on a concurrent basis. <IMAGE>

Abstract: According to the method, apparatus, and computer readable medium of the present invention, a scan is performed by accessing all rows of a table in a relational database, evaluating each row to determine whether the row satifies a set of predicates of a database query, and returning the row if it satisfies the set of predicates. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, all rows are evaluated regardless of current locks. The scan is continued if the row does not satisfy the set of predicates regardless of the current lock on the row. The locking semantics according to the invention has the advantage that it completely removes the problem of lock contention on the rows that do not satisfy statement predicates.

Abstract: In a method and a device for controlling the magnitude of the generated ring signal in a the Subscriber Line Interface Circuit (SLIC) the voltage of the A and B lines to the subscriber from the SLIC is compared to a reference voltage. The device is arranged to control the magnitude of the generated ring signal voltage in response to the outcome of the comparison. In particular, the device is arranged to control the ring signal voltage so that the ring signal voltage is reduced if the voltage on the A or B line exceeds the reference voltage. Also, the reference voltage is preferably chosen so that there is no risk for saturation of the final stages. The reference voltage is preferably selected to have a value being related to the value of the negative supply voltage.

Abstract: A two-phase heat transfer system includes an evaporator, a condenser, a vapor line, and a liquid return line. The evaporator includes a liquid inlet, a vapor outlet, and a capillary wick having a first surface adjacent the liquid inlet and a second surface adjacent the vapor outlet. The condenser includes a vapor inlet and a liquid outlet. The vapor line provides fluid communication between the vapor outlet and the vapor inlet. The liquid return line provides fluid communication between the liquid outlet and the liquid inlet. The wick is substantially free of back-conduction of energy from the second surface to the first surface due to an increase in a conduction path from the second surface to the first surface and due to suppression of nucleation of a working fluid from the second surface to the first surface to promote liquid superheat tolerance in the wick.

Abstract: The present invention improves efficiency of coding motion vectors when a current block is coded using a plurality of motion vectors. A motion vector coding unit (117) codes a motion vector inputted from a motion vector detecting unit (108). A motion vector for each current block is coded based on a difference between the motion vector and a predicted vector obtained from motion vectors for previously coded neighboring blocks. The predicted vector is generated by one of the following processing: (A) the motion vectors which refer to the same picture are selected from among the motion vectors for the neighboring blocks so as to generate the predicted vector; (B) the motion vectors for the respective neighboring blocks are ordered in the predetermined order, and the motion vectors of the same order rank are selected from the ordered motion vectors so as to generate the predicted vector; and (C) the predicted vector for the second motion vector of the current block shall be the first motion vector, and if the second motion vector and the first motion vector refer to different pictures, the first motion vector is scaled according to the temporal distance between the pictures so as to generate the predicted vector.
