Abstract: A ceramic ferrule, an array of ceramic ferrules, and a ceramic ferrule refractory wall, all for shielding a tube sheet/boiler tube assembly of a heat  exchanger connected to an industrial heat source.  The head portion of each ferrule replaces conventional cast refractory walls, and has an outer-peripheral shape that allows the ferrules to mate at the operating temperature of the industrial heat source.   The mated ferrules expand and contract substantially independently of one another, but form a substantially gas-tight barrier for shielding the tube sheet/boiler tube assembly from the waste gas of the industrial heat source.

Abstract: A CSK modulation is applied to transmit input data for transmission by using N PN code series.  A modulator for N series synthesizes a predetermined number  (n)  of PN code series selected from N PN code series in response to m bits in  the  input  data,  and  the  synthesized  code  series  is transmitted   onto   a   transmission   medium   through   a transmitting  interface.   The  PN  code  series  which  is actually transmitted has a maximum value of the absolute magnitude of auto-correlation which is always greater than a maximum value of the absolute value of cross-correlations between the remaining synthesized PN code series.

Abstract: The iron-nickel superalloy of the type IN 706 has an addition of 0.02 to 0.3 percent by weight of boron and/or 0.05 to 1.5 percent by weight of hafnium. By means of this addition, a virtual doubling of the ductility is achieved as compared with an addition-free iron-nickel superalloy of the type IN 706, while the hot strength is reduced only slightly. This alloy is particularly suitable as a material for rotors of large gas turbines. It has a sufficiently high hot strength. When locally acting temperature gradients arise unwanted stresses can occur to only a slight extent because of the high ductility of the alloy.

Abstract: Commitment protocols relating to transactions in a distributed database system are described. The database system includes an interval coordinator, a plurality of database server programs, called coservers, and at least one transaction log. More than one coserver can operate on a single computer or node, and the coservers could share a transaction log.  The interval coordinator sends each coserver a succession of interval messages, and each coserver flushes its associated transaction log to non-volatile storage in response. After flushing its transaction log, each coserver transmits a closure message to the interval coordinator. The coservers maintain a state which identifies the most recently received interval message. Each distributed transaction includes an owner and a non-owner, or helper. For a transaction, the owner transmits a request message to the helper identifying an operation in the distributed transaction for the coserver to execute. Upon execution of the operation, the coserver transmits a completion message to the owner with a tag identifying the most recently received interval message.  After receiving said completion message, the owner transmits an eligibility message for the transaction to the interval coordinator. Then the interval coordinator writes a commit state for the transaction to stable storage. Then the interval coordinator sends the owner and helper a commit message for the transaction.

Title: Method and apparatus for dispense verification
Inventor: DOMANIK RICHARD A
IPC: G01N35/10
Filed: 1995-10-06
Granted: 2000-12-19
Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide apparatuses and methods for verifying dispense of a fluid from a dispense nozzle. According to one method, a path of electromagnetic radiation from a source to a receiver is obstructed with the fluid dispensed from the dispense nozzle. The intensity of the electromagnetic radiation received by the receiver is measured. The measured intensity is compared with a predetermined intensity to verify the dispense of fluid from the dispense nozzle. One apparatus for verifying dispense of a fluid comprises a source of electromagnetic radiation, and a receiver of the electromagnetic radiation from the source of the electromagnetic radiation operatively associated with the source of the electromagnetic radiation such that the electromagnetic radiation from the source is received by the receiver. A path followed by the electromagnetic radiation from the source to the receiver is offset from the fluid exiting end of the dispense nozzle by a predetermined distance such that dispense of fluid and a major drop of fluid depending from the fluid exiting end of the dispense nozzle obstruct the path and such that a minor drop of fluid does not obstruct the path.

Granted: 2003-07-15
Abstract: An Active User Registry system comprises a database which is integrated with the POTS network and a packet network (such as the Internet. or a corporateintranet). Integrating AUR with the POTS network and a packet network exploits the outstanding strengths of both of its constituents, such as the low-latency, highreliability, moderate fidelity real-time voice telephony provided by the POTS network, and the point-and-click access to distributed databases with excellent search capabilities provided by a packet network, such as the Internet (including those made available using browser technology in conjunction with the World WideWeb). The AUR database contains a dynamic data structure (such as a linked list or a hashed table) of all the ways in which one or more users can be reached via some type of communication network (e.g., through the POTS network or a packet network, or both). A key feature of the AUR is the ability to broker between a subscriber's request for communications contact information corresponding to a user and the user's preferences of being reached by various communications alternatives. Other features may be included with the AUR. including an AUR cache which provides subscribers with rapid-access entry points into the AUR, or automatic updating of user contact information. Further, the capability of learning the user's preferences is included as an additional feature and is also included as a feature in an alternative embodiment of the present invention.
