Title: Protocol packets containing information regarding network units in a switching fabric
Inventor: GOODFELLOW MAURICE ARTHUR
IPC: H04L45/28
Filed: 2003-10-03
Abstract: A network unit for use in a switching fabric stores for each network unit in the switching fabric a respective change identification number. In each unit this number is incremented on each change of state. The unit broadcasts protocol packets which indicates incremented change identification numbers; receives corresponding packets from the other units; and determines when the last change identification numbers in the table are the same for all the units. This allows a control based on whether all the units know that all the other units have been updated in response to all the changes of state in the fabric. The unit can also participate in a routing algorithm, and particularly a shortest path algorithm, within a fabric that constitutes a single network entity. In this case the unit sends and receives protocol packets containing information on the path costs between units in the switching fabric. An algorithm determines routes for data packets between units of the switching fabric on the basis of this information. (N.B. A "switching fabric" here refers to a plurality of connected switches.)

Title: A comparator with isolatable inputs for reduced noise in a sub-ranging ADC
Inventor: SHIMIZU YASUHIDE
IPC: H03F1/26
Filed: 2004-04-08
Abstract: The higher order section of a sub-ranging ADC comprises a set of comparators coupled to an input line 6 and respective taps 7,8 on a resistive reference chain 3. There are no sampling capacitors, which reduces the capacitive load on the sample and hold circuit 2. To prevent amplifier noise feeding back to the input signal and thereby reducing the accuracy of lower order comparators, the inputs to each of the amplifiers in the higher order section are isolated by opening series switches and closing a shunt switch across the inputs to each amplifier in the high-order section (SW9, SW10, SW11, figures 2,3) when the lower-order section is operating. To reduce the effective input offset voltage, the gain of the second stage of each comparator may be reduced (23 in figures 2 to 5) during the non-comparing clock phase.

Title: Holder for a hinge.
Inventor: BRILL EDWARD D
IPC: H02K33/04
Filed: 2002-05-15
Abstract: A hair clipper includes a vibrator motor which has a stationary piece and a moving piece hinged at one end. The moving piece does not generate substantial internal spring forces under the influence of an electromagnetic field, because it does not have a tail bracket. Other parts of conventional motors are also eliminated, so the motor is easier and less expensive to manufacture. In addition, the motor can be assembled and tuned before installation, which increases the ability to automate assembly. A coil bottom for the vibrator motor and a holder for a hinge are also described.
