Patent EP-1042681-A1 (EP)
Inventor: PAILTHORP ROBERT M
IPC: H01H47/00
Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: A compound switching matrix (30) operates in cooperation with a resistance measuring system (20) and a laser (22) to quickly and accurately trim resistors (12) to predetermined values while they are being measured. The compound switching matrix is implemented with dry reed relays (34-81, 101-164) and includes a probe switching matrix (90-97) and a configuration matrix (32) that reduce the average number of relay contacts required per probe to implement two-, three-, and four-terminal measurements with or without guarding. Moreover, the separate probe switching and measurement configuration matrices effectively separate the high and low sides of the measurement to reduce the effects of stray resistances and capacitances on measurement speed and accuracy. A switchable grounding configuration (82-89) further improves measurement accuracy. The compound switching matrix of this invention enables sequential resistance measurements of individual resistors in the array, with two-, three-, and four-terminal measurement configurations being adapted to resistors having values ranging from less than 0.1 ohm to greater than 100 Megohms.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for determining the duty cycle, average
amperage, and/or the number of arc starts during a welding operation. The apparatus
comprises first and second circuits, the first circuit being a CPU control circuit, and the second
circuit being an arc time sensor circuit which is programmed to measure amperage, welding
wire feed speed and preferably gas flow rates while welding. A ratio of the cumulative
welding time during the audit to the total on-time provides a measurement of the efficiency of
the welding arc. The welding deposition efficiency may then be calculated using the average
amperage and welding duty cycle as measured and calculated by the apparatus. The number
of arc starts where the arc on-time is in excess of one second may also provide a useable
measurement in giving secondary information on the overall efficiency of the welding
operation.

Abstract: Method and installation for separating out individual articles (10,15,16). The articles (10,15,16) can be bucket
handles (10) tipped into a container (2). The articles (10,15,16) are moved successively upwards with the aid of a
series of sliding plates (5-9) which are tilted somewhat with respect to the vertical and reciprocate
in the vertical direction. With this arrangement the width of the support surface of the
successive sliding plates (5-9) decreases as the plates (5-9) reciprocate higher, so that ultimately a width
is produced which is just sufficient to contain the width of a bucket handle (10). To prevent bucket
handles (10) from lying on top of one another, bucket handles (10) extending more than a certain
distance above the support surface are removed with the aid of an ejector (11).

Abstract: A computer system has a plurality of processors each for
executing a sequence of instructions and at least one of the
processors having a cache memory associated therewith. A memory
provides an address space of that processor where data items are
stored for use by all of the processors. A behaviour store holds
in association with the address of each item a cache behaviour
identifying the cacheable behaviour of the item, the cacheable
behaviours including a software coherent behaviour and an
automatically coherent behaviour. When a cache coherency
operation is instigated by a cache coherency instruction, the
operation is effected dependent on the cacheable behaviour of the
specified address of the item. 
     A method of modifying the coherency status of a cache in this
manner is also described.

Abstract: The invention provides a system comprising apparatus and method for generating
customized communications to a multitude of clients and responding to specific
response options selected by each of the multitude of clients, so that an ongoing
"conversation" is set up between each client and the user that terminates when the
client fails to respond or after a final purchase decision is made. The apparatus of the
invention is substantially automated, using computers and databases for processing the
large amount of information in client databases to select from the information
appropriate financial, insurance, warranty and assurance or other products that are then
specifically tailored to each of the multitude of (tens of thousands and up to many
millions) of clients to prepare a communication specific to each client. The client
communication is either sent to the client by mail, internet, facsimile or other means,
or is appended to a host communication (such as a bill that ordinarily would have been
sent to the client) and then sent as a combined communication, in order to reduce costs.
Desirably, the original communication to the client, in whatever form, may include a
label and several options for client selection. Each client may respond by selecting an
option, and the system of the invention will substantially automatically process the
selected option and generate an appropriate reply. The client may then respond to the
reply, either by requesting further information through response options provided, or
by making a purchase decision.

IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1999-10-25
Abstract: An architectural model is proposed which enables the
breaking of the dedicated bond between voice-oriented peripheral
equipment (PE) based resources and the voice call processing
services that classically reside in PBXs, Central Offices, and
Key Systems. In addition to being able to physically remote
voice PE across data networks, this model enables the voice PE
to become a shareable, network-owned resource (as per a
Distributed Client/Server model) rather than the dedicated, non-shareable
resource of a single voice host attached to the
network. This places the voice PE in the same league that data
resources (eg bridges, routers, ...) and server-based applications
have always been. Disjoint voice products based upon this
proposed architectural model would likewise be able to
simultaneously share voice PE resources, thereby enabling
equipment concentration and it's corresponding cost reductions
at network level, as well as PE-based sparing/redundancy. In
addition, a new, more powerful usage paradigm is described for
the telephone that resembles that of the PC. Of course, nothing
prevents the network from being configured with only a singleton
voice client utilizing the various servers. This degenerate case
then corresponds to a distributed, but still logically unbundled
PBX complete with traditional telephones.

IPC: B01J4/02
Filed: 1999-11-29
Abstract: The present invention provides improved apparatus and process for the dilution and
delivery of both high-purity chemicals as well as slurry chemicals from one or more bulk
sources to an end-user. The present system utilizes two or more metered vessels (2a, 2b)
which are connected to bulk chemical sources (3a, 3b) via intake lines (la, lb). Each metered
vessel (2a, 2b) contains an adjustable, swingable angle pipe (25a, 25b), which drains any
excess chemical by gravity flow from the metered vessel (2a, 2b) so as to adjust the chemical
amount to a predetermined desired level. As the chemicals exit the angle pipes (25a, 25b),
sensors (103) located at the end of the angle pipes sense the chemical being discharged and
trigger the feed pump and valve (7a, 7b) to shut off, whereby the excess chemicals will
continue to drain out until the chemical levels reach the same level as the vent port of the pipe
attached to the metered vessels. The chemicals are drawn into the metered vessels (2a, 2b)
from the bulk sources (3a, 3b) via a feed pump or pressure mechanism. The chemicals are
then motivated through dispense lines (9a, 9b) to the pressure tank vessel (10) for mixing and
subsequently being delivered to a storage vessel which, in the case of CMP, may be replaced
by a plurality of small diameter vessels to reduce slurry particle agglomeration.
