Title: Interface between processor and special instruction processor in digital data processing system
IPC: G06F13/12
Filed: 1987-08-28
Abstract: A processor and auxiliary processor for use in a 
digital data processing system, the auxiliary processor 
processing selected instructions, such as floating point 
instructions. The processor and auxiliary processor are 
interconnected by status lines, data lines and a bus to 
which other units in the system may also be connected. When 
the processor begins processing a selected instruction, it 
passes the instruction's operation code to the auxiliary 
processor over the data lines and enables the operands to be 
transferred to the auxiliary processor over the bus, along 
with information concerning each operand, which is 
transferred over the data lines. The processor then signals 
over the status lines that it is ready to receive the 
results. The auxiliary processor, when it has finished 
executing the special instruction, transmits a code over the 
status lines indicating it is sending the results, and 
transmits the condition codes over the data lines and the 
result data over the bus.

Title: Electrical switchgear
IPC: H01H31/00
Filed: 1988-03-08
Abstract: Electrical switchgear comprises a fixed input contact (59), a fixed output contact (85) and a fixed auxiliary contact (82). A movable contact (83) is movable from a closed position wherein it connects the input and output contacts (59, 85) into an open position wherein it connects the auxiliary and output contacts (82, 85). An arcing electrode (76) having a substantially circular periphery is connected to the input contact (85), and is radially surounded by a coil (78) having a conductive ring (77) on its inner circumference. The ring is radially spaced from the arcing electrode (76) and the parts are arranged so that when the movable contact opens an arc is formed between the moveble contact (83) and the arcing electrode (76), the arc commutates to a location between the arcing electrode (76) and the conductive ring (77) and arcing current flows through the coil and produces a magnetic field which causes the arc to rotate and become extinguished. The arcing electrode (76) is permanently electrically connected to the input contact (59), and the coil winding is electrically connected between the conductive ring (77) and the auxiliary contact (82).

Patent EP-0320266-A3 (EP)
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1988-12-08
Abstract: In a database management system that operates 
according to the Structured Query Language standard, a 
query containing a reference to a view is processed by 
dynamically materializing the view through execution of 
the view definition. Once the view is materialized, it 
is treated as any other base table. To enable a query 
optimization plan to refer to the materialized view, a 
view node is introduced into the execution plan. The 
view node includes a subquery that results in the 
creation of the virtual table defined by the view. This 
created table is temporarily stored in a memory. The 
query optimizer can treat view nodes in the same manner 
as stored base tables, and thereby overcomes 
restrictions that were placed upon views by previous 
view decomposition approaches.

Title: Improvements in machines for producing expanded sheet metal
IPC: B21D31/04
Filed: 1989-05-16
Abstract: The expanded sheet metal production machine comprises a toothed 
blade mobile in two mutually orthogonal directions and cooperating 
with a backing blade which can retract against the action of 
elastic means during the active movement of the toothed blade. 
The improvements consist in the provision of a device for feeding 
the sheet metal in such a manner as to obtain: a required distance 
between the holes in the sheet metal, stretching limited to 
intermediate zones of a metal sheet, which therefore has front and 
rear end portions free of stretch, and expanded metal sheets 
starting from strip.

Filed: 1989-05-22
Abstract: Personal luggage specific for camera equipment, sometimes known as camera 
bags, have been designed to permit ready access to the equipment, yet secure 
that equipment for transport. Such bags have been bulky and uncomfortable, and 
the conflicting goals of securing the equipment but providing ready access have 
resulted in a number of design compromises.  
     Accordingly, the camera bag 1 includes an upper portion which has a handle 
facet 60 which carries handle 62 adjacent a relatively angled lid portion 10. The 
handle facet is adjacent to a body side panel 20, which normally is tangent to the 
body of the user of the bag. The lid 10 is operated to hinge around the upper 
edge of the front panel 40 of the bag. This permits a lid pocket 90 to be 
deployed simultaneously with the opening and pivoting of the lid 10. When the 
lid 10 is in the open position, the main packing compartment and a substantial 
accessory compartment 90 are presented to the user. While the lid is in the 
closed condition, substantially all of the packing compartments are secured 
readily by operation of the zipper slider.

Title: Data storage hierarchy and method for managing data therein
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 1989-04-27
Abstract: A method for managing data in a data storage hierarchy, and a 
data storage hierarchy for implementing such method is dis­
closed. The data storage hierarchy includes a data catalog 
(60) and a plurality of data storage levels (10, 20, 40, 30). 
The data catalog stores information indicating data management 
rules for the data stored in the hierarchy. Data stored in 
the hierarchy are flagged upon being referenced by the host 
processor (50). The flagged data is managed according to the 
management rules during periods of low hierarchy activity. 
After the flagged data are managed, the flags are reset. The 
method, and hierarchy employing such, avoid problems asso­
ciated with managing large quantities of data.
