Abstract: Apparatus and method for a plasma discharge for ignition in an internal combustion engine (10). A digital electronic system controls ignition performance and can provide an ignition discharge throughout an entire power stroke of a piston in a cylinder. The discharge can be controlled by a signal from a conventional distributor, crank trigger or other source (13). Controllable discharge of a capacitor (C2) occurs through the primary winding of an ignition coil (46). In addition, the capacitor (C2) may be both discharged and recharged in as oscillatory manner through the primary of the ignition coil (46). Such oscillatory discharging and recharging of the capacitor (C2) results in energy being delivered to the spark plug (50) during both discharge and recharge cycles, thereby resulting in the delivery of discharge energy to the spark plug (50) on a substantially continuous basis.

Abstract: A solar panel (Figure 7) comprises an extruded plastics matrix (20) comprising a plurality of side-by-side compartments each of which provides an actual fluid-flow channel without the need for providing separate metal pipework. Each compartment may include a filler (62) to define a fluid-flow channel between the upper surface of the filler and the lower surface of a membrane (28) of the matrix. The provision of the filler (62) is optional and the cross section of each compartment may be optimised to the fluid-flow channel size requirements. At least part of a surface of each fluid-flow channel has a covering comprising a solar radiation absorber; for example, the absorber may comprise a channel-shaped foil (72) which exhibits high absorbence of solar energy together with low emittance of infra-red radiation.

Abstract: Complex metal structures are formed in microminiature dimensions utilizing multiple mask exposures which are capable of producing substantially arbitrary three-dimensional shapes. A first layer of a primary metal is electroplated onto an exposed plating base to fill a void in a photoresist, the photoresist is removed, and a secondary metal, which can constitute a sacrificial metal, is electroplated over the first layer and the plating base. The exposed surface of the deposited secondary metal is then machined down to a height which exposes the first metal to produce a substantially flat, uniform surface extending across both the primary and secondary metals. The secondary metal facilitates machining of the primary and secondary metals because of these mechanical stability provided by the secondary metal to the primary metal. After the first layers of the primary and secondary metals have been machined, another photoresist layer can be applied over the primary and secondary metals, and a second layer of primary metal is electroplated. A further layer of secondary metal can be also electroplated if desired. The process of machining and electroplating can be repeated until the desired structure is formed. Secondary metal is removed by an etchant which does not etch the primary metal.

Abstract: Cooling-air cooling units for gas turbines usually have tube plates (4, 7) in which the heat-exchange tubes (5) are mounted so that the air to be cooled is separated from the fluid which takes up the heat. Rapid changes in temperature frequently occur, in particular in the tube plate (4) at the air-input end. In order to reduce the mechanical stresses produced by these changes in temperature, the invention calls for this tube plate (4) to be held in place on one side only while, at the same time, a secure connection is provided between the air-inlet chamber (1) on the tube side and the walls (3) of the container surrounding the tubes.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for converting heat energy to mechanical energy with greater efficiency. According to the method, heat energy is applied to a working fluid in a reservoir sufficient to convert the working fluid to a vapor and the working fluid is passed in vapor form to means such as a generator for converting the energy therein to mechanical work. The working fluid is then recycled to the reservoir. In order to increase the efficiency of this process, a gas having a molecular weight no greater than the approximate molecular weight of the working fluid is added to the working fluid in the reservoir, separated from the working fluid downstream from the reservoir, compressed and returned to the reservoir.

Abstract: Three prioritization schemes for determining which of several CPUs receives priority to become bus master of a host bus in a multiprocessor system, and an arbitration scheme for transferring control from one bus master to another. Each prioritization scheme prioritizes n elements, where a total of (n/2)x(n-1) priority bits monitors the relative priority between each pair of elements. An element receives the highest priority when each of the n-1 priority bits associated with that element points to it. In the arbitration scheme, the current bus master of the host bus determines when transfer of control of the host bus occurs as governed by one of the prioritization schemes. The arbitration scheme gives EISA bus masters, RAM refresh and DMA greater priority than CPUs acting as bus masters, and allows a temporary bus master to interrupt the current bus master to perform a write-back cache intervention cycle. The arbitration scheme also supports address pipelining, bursting, split transactions and reservations of CPUs aborted when attempting a locked cycle. Address pipelining allows the next bus master to assert its address and status signals before the beginning of the data transfer phase of the next bus master. Split transactions allows a CPU posting a read to the EISA bus to arbitrate the host bus to another device without re-arbitrating for the host bus to retrieve the data. The data is asserted on the host bus when it is idle even if the host bus is being controlled by another device.

Abstract: Successive frames of data (10) are processed to provide a plurality of data streams (27, 29) containing the data in different orders. In an illustrated embodiment, two different data streams (27, 29) are output for incoming frames of video data. Pixels are grouped from an incoming current video frame to provide successive pairs thereof for storage in a first memory bank (16) at a first clock rate  phi  . Stored pixel pairs are read from a second memory bank (18) containing a previous video frame at a second clock rate 2  phi  while the pairs of pixels from the current video frame are being stored in the first memory bank (16) at rate  phi  . This provides two pairs of pixels from the previous video frame for each one pair of pixels stored from a current video frame. The pixel pairs from the previous video frame output from the second memory bank are combined into two data streams, each providing the pixels in a different order. The memory banks are alternated (14, 20) to process successive frames. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to an absorbent composite structure comprising a substrate having an upper and a lower surface and a plurality of hydrogel-forming polymer particles chemically bonded to at least one surface of the substrate (3), wherein the polymer particles (2) each comprise a plurality of cross-linked molecules (13=18). The substrate and the hydrogel-forming polymer particles are connected by a crosslinking agent capable of crosslinking the molecules of the particles. For at least a part of the structure the degree of inter particle cross-linking between the particles is sufficiently low that no inter-particle crosslinked macrostructures are formed of circumscribed dry volume larger than 10mm<3>. In this manner the particles are firmly attached to the substrate in both the dry and wet state, without negatively affecting the substrate's flexibility and while maintaining a desired permeability of the composite structure. The firm attachment of the particles to the substrate allows subjecting the substrate to a physical deformations, for instance to impart extensibility thereto, without the particles becoming detached. <MATH>
