Patent EP-0768607-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CALLISON RYAN A
IPC: G06F11/10
Filed: 1996-10-04
Abstract: Circuitry for performing hardware assisted XOR operations to generate parity bits for a disk array system. The circuitry includes a controller that acts as an interface between a PCI bus and a DRAM that includes a write-posting cache portion and an XOR buffer portion. The DRAM has a maximum data storage capacity, and the controller is allocated an address space that is twice the maximum storage capacity of the DRAM. The address space is divided into two portions, a normal address range and an XOR address range. A write to the normal address range produces a normal write cycle to the DRAM, while a write to the XOR address range generates a read-modify-write XOR cycle to the DRAM. In the read-modify-write XOR cycles, the read data are XORed with the write data. Selected data are cumulatively XORed to generate new parity information.

Abstract: Aufgabe: Verbesserung der Kohärenzlänge. Lösung: Eine Signalquelle (SQ) erzeugt ein frequenzmoduliertes Signal, das einer Sende-Empfangseinheit (SES, SES') zugeführt und ausgesendet wird. Ein Oberflächenwellenelement (OFW) erzeugt aus dem frequenzmodulierten Signal ein um eine Verzögerungsdauer ( tau ) verzögertes Signal. Mittels eines Mischers (MI) wird das verzögerte Signal mit dem empfangenen Signal gemischt und einem Mittel zur Auswertung (AE) zugeführt. Die Verzögerungsdauer ( tau ) ist vorzugsweise gleich der Laufzeit (tL) des Signals auf der Messstrecke zu wählen.

Abstract: A drive system for a vertical mast personnel lift uses a pair of rear wheels that are fixed in an axial direction of a base portion of the personnel lift. When an operator input to make a turn is received, DC motors respectively connected to the right and left rear wheels are rotated at a different rate. Neither the front wheels nor the rear wheels are steered during the turning movement. The front wheels are configured as caster wheels, which are free to turn in any direction. In order to rotate the personnel lift about its central axis, the right rear wheel is rotated at a first rate in a first direction, and the left rear wheel is rotated at the first rate in a second direction opposite the first direction.

Abstract: After a high-pressure container 1 is mounted to a charging jig 2, on-off valves 82 and 83 are closed, and on-off valves 81 and 84 are opened, so as to draw a vacuum in each of a charging path7, the charging jig 2 and the high-pressure container 1. After drawing the vacuum, the on-off valve 84 is closed, the on-off valve 83 is opened, for charging a hydrogen from a combustible gas source 43 into the high-pressure container 1 through a charging port 11. When a pressure within the container reaches a predetermined pressure, the on-off valve 81 and 83 are closed. In this manner, the hydrogen is charged into the high-pressure container 1 in a range except a flammable range. Then, the on-off valve 84 is opened to draw a vacuum only in the charging path 7. After drawing the vacuum, the on-off valve 84 is closed and the on-off valve 82 is opened to charge an oxygen from an oxdizer gas source 5 into the high-pressure container 1. In this manner, the oxygen is charged into the high-pressure container 1 in a range except the flammable range. If a pressure within the high-pressure container 1 reaches a predetermined pressure, a sealing member operating mechanism 3 is operated so that the charging port 11 of the high-pressure container 1 is sealed by a sealing member 12.

Abstract: A method of refurbishing sewer pipes involves introducing a multilayer, resin-impregnated internal lining tube into the pipe cross-section. Compressed air seats this lining, pressing and sizing it against the inner wall of the pipe. Ultraviolet light hardening follows. The new feature is a preparatory stage, which determines locations of weakness in the concrete channel profile. These are regions endangered by through-holing or bulging. In these locations, the lining used has reinforcement. Also claimed is the lining tube based on these principles.

Abstract: To make an inquiry about whether or not a predetermined command is applicable to an electronic apparatus on the controlled side with ease and in a short period of time without letting the electronic apparatus on the controlled side carry out unnecessary processing. 
     First of all, the computer 13 transmits a notify command to the camcorder 12. Since the notify command is applicable to the camcorder 12, execution of the notify command is started thereby. At the beginning of the execution of the notify command, the camcorder 12 sends back an interim response to the computer 13, entering a state waiting for a change which is to be reported by sending back a changed response. When the computer 13 receives the interim response from the camcorder 12, the computer 13 can determine that the notify command is applicable to the camcorder 12, achieving the purpose of sending the notify command. For this reason, when the computer 13 receives the interim response from the camcorder 12, the computer 13 immediately transmits a notify (cancel) command to the camcorder 12, requesting the camcorder 12 to cancel the notify command sent prior to the notify (cancel) command. Receiving the notify (cancel) command, the camcorder 12 discontinues the execution of the notify command.

The microporous polyolefin membrane comprises a matrix polyolefin component which is a polyolefin having a weight average molecular weight of 5 x 10 5  or more or a polyolefin mixture containing the polyolefin having a weight average molecular weight of 5 x 10 5  or more, and has a porosity of 30 to 95%, an air permeability of 100 to 2000 sec/100cc, an average open pore diameter of 0.001 to 1 µm and a tensile strength at break of 500 kg/cm 2  or more. The microporous polyolefin membrane may further comprise a shutdown polymer component to shut down the pores, thereby making the composite membrane impermeable. The polyolefin nonwoven fabric comprises fine fibers and has an air permeability of 0.1 to 100 sec/100cc and a basis weight of 5 to 50 g/m 2 . The polyolefin nonwoven fabric prevents the composite membrane from melting down at a low temperature thereby preventing the short-circuit between the electrodes.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing an inter-system soft handoff is described. In accordance with the present invention, when a subscriber unit crosses from a first cellular system to a second cellular system, a base station controller determines if sufficient network resources are available to conduct a inter-system soft handoff. If so, the base station controller generates a set of signaling messages that cause call processing resource to be allocated and for the call to be processed at the second cellular system. The base station controller then perform data-selection and data-broadcast for the call by transmitting data to the subscriber unit by way of the second cellular system as well as via one or more base stations to which the base station controller is directly coupled. The determination as to whether sufficient network resources are available to conduct the inter-system soft handoff is based on the type of connection that exists between the first cellular system and the second cellular system, the number of inter-system calls being conducted, and the frame offset of the call currently being processed.

holes are formed completely through the product and, optionally, through the adhesive as

electrode or the top of the transdermal patch. In this manner, the solvent can be directed
through the through holes formed in either the electrode or the patch to release the solvent
and to facilitate its removal.
