Abstract: A webbing retractor which, by causing relative rotation between a prime
mover rotating body (102) and a rotating disc (140), connects the prime mover rotating body (102)
and a driven shaft (112) which is connected to a take-up shaft (20) of a webbing belt (28). A
planet gear (72) is pivotally supported at a plate (68) having a braking piece (80) and meshes
with a sun gear (62). The plate (68) is supported so as to be swingable around the sun gear (62).
When the sun gear (62) is driven to rotate at greater than a predetermined speed, the
planet gear (72) begins to circle around the sun gear (62) against urging force of a spring (78)
attached to the plate (68), and makes the plate (68) rotate such that the braking piece (80)
slidingly contacts the friction ring (170). Due to this braking, the rotating disc (140) connected
to the friction ring (170) rotates relative to the prime mover rotating body (102).

IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2003-02-21
Abstract: A microprocessor that includes a random number
generator (RNG) that saves and restores its own state on
a task switch without operating system (OS) support. The
RNG includes a control and status register (CSR) for
storing control values that affect the generation of
random numbers. The CSR is not saved and restored by the
OS. The RNG shadows the CSR with an SSE register that is
saved and restored by the OS. A new instruction loads
the CSR, and also loads the shadowed SSE register.
Whenever the SSE register is restored from memory, the
RNG sets a flag indicating that a possible task switch
occurred. Whenever the processor executes a new
instruction that stores the random data to memory, it
checks the flag and copies the control values from the
SSE register to the CSR if the flag is true, discards
previously generated bytes, and restarts random number
generation.

Abstract: The method facilitates sealing a control rod drive (CRD) housing (50) to a stub tube (46) in a reactor pressure vessel of a nuclear reactor, if any cracks develop proximate a heat affected zone (99) of the stub tube (46) at a CRD housing re-attachment weld (78). The method includes cutting the CRD housing (50) to separate an upper portion (76) of the CRD housing (50) from a lower portion (92) of the CRD housing (50). The lower portion (92) remains in place and in substantial alignment with the upper portion (76) of the CRD housing (50). A lower portion member, which may be the lower portion (92) that was cut, is re-attached to the reactor vessel by a re-attachment weld (97) at a location below potential differential leakage paths (80, 84) along the CRD housing (50). The heat affected zone (e.g., at the re-attachment weld) is covered with a corrosion resistant material (89) to prevent future leaking, and to protect the weld (97) from inter-granular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC).

Abstract: Narrowband subscriber terminals (40, 52, 58) of different narrowband networks are interconnected via a broadband network (48) that supports dissimilar signalling protocols to those maintained on the respective narrowband networks (40, 52, 58). A call server in a first narrowband network (40), in response to a call (100) from a first subscriber terminal (12) to a second subscriber terminal (68) in a second but different narrowband network (52), selects a phantom trunk (202) between the two networks. The phantom trunk has a unique circuit identity, which circuit identity is used in a first instance to relay to the second network an address of the second subscriber terminal (68). Then, in a second instance, the unique circuit identity is used to relay to the second network an address of the first subscriber terminal (68). By recognising that two connection requests have been received at opposite ends of the same phantom trunk, a processor in the second network is able to determine that a direct connection between the first and second subscriber terminals is required through the broadband network (48).

Abstract: Aspects of the invention for managing power in a single chip device (200) may comprise, an internal finite state machine (400) that, while in a communicating state (610), determines from within the single chip device whether a power management status is set and/or whether a first power management event is received. If the power management status is set, the finite state machine may transition from the communicating state to a power management event sent state (614). If the first power management event is received, the finite state machine may transition from the communicating state to a non-communicating state (612). The first power management event may be a turn off power management event. Furthermore, in instances where the power management status is set, it may be cleared, thereby causing the finite state machine to transition back to the communicating state. One or more power management control registers may be utilized for indicating power management status.
