Patent EP-0363135-A3 (EP)
IPC: G06F5/06
Filed: 1989-10-03
Abstract: The present invention is a system and method 
which follows a directory tree of a random access 
disk 20 to obtain file location information and the 
contents for multiple files. For each file found an 
entry is created on a file description ring 90 and 
the file location information is stored in the 
entry. An insert pointer indicates the next 
available entry on the ring 90. The system then 
stores the different type location information (for 
example file headers, directories and directory 
headers are different types) for each of the files 
in corresponding segmented ring buffers 172, 176 and 
192 dedicated to storing information of only a 
single type. The file content is also stored in a 
dedicated segmented file content ring buffer 132. 
Each time a ring is updated with information for a 
file, a corresponding operation pointer (96, 100 and 
102) for the ring 90 is advanced. When a ring 
segment is full, the system transfers the segment to 
a corresponding location on a destination disk 24 
and updates a file allocation list ring 162. The 
writing of file contents from ring 132 advances a 
write operation pointer 98. When all files have 
been written the file allocation list ring 162 is 
 
 
written out to the disk 24. The buffering of the 
different types of information until a ring segent 
is full reduces the number of write operations and, 
not only enhances source read out speed since the 
read operation does not have to wait for the write 
operation to occur before the next read operation 
can start because the data read is stored in the 
segmented buffer rings, but also enhances write 
speed by writing segments and increases drive life 
expectancy by reducing mechanical motion.

Title: Diverter valve and vacuum breaker usable therewith
IPC: F16K11/02
Filed: 1990-01-25
Abstract: In an embodiment, a three way diverter valve assembly is 
provided which can divert water to a bathtub in one instance 
and to a shower or a hand held shower in two other 
instances. The valve assembly is easily assembled or disassembled 
while affording a positive shut off between the 
two shower outlets. A vacuum breaker feature (35) is also 
provided which reduces "welding" to the valve body. In 
addition, a vacuum effect is reduced when operating between 
the shower outlet positions and the bath outlet. Also, the 
valve is constructed to reduce water hammer.
Patent EP-0395860-A3 (EP)
Title: Fm demodulator
IPC: H03D3/24
Filed: 1990-03-15
Abstract: An FM demodulator circuit (10) uses an oscillator (20) to provide a 
switch control signal synchronized to an FM signal, and a current supply (36) 
to provide differentially alternating currents at first and second outputs 
flowing through a commutator circuit (38) to the first and second outputs of 
the FM demodulator circuit. The commutator circuit (38) is responsive to the 
switch control signal for alternately switching the first and second outputs of 
the current supply (36) between the first and second outputs of the FM 
demodulator circuit thereby providing an alternating current flowing in the 
first and second outputs of the FM demodulator circuit which has an average 
value over each half cycle of the switch control signal proportional to the 
deviation of the frequency of the FM signal from the free-running frequency 
of the oscillator (20).
Patent EP-0397071-A3 (EP)
Title: Method for perspective position mapping
IPC: G06T15/04
Filed: 1990-05-07
Abstract: The invention relates generally to a computer 
controlled digital imaging processing system which 
operates to compose and construct a sequential stream of 
scenes for a 2-dimensional display from a library of 
images of objects such as trees. The invention relates 
in particular to a method for the real-time true 
perspective of a pixelized plane object onto a pixelized 
view screen. The processing speed is sufficient to 
permit a real-time, or near real-time, analysis of the 
images by a human operator or a hardware/ software 
equivalent thereof. The images of objects stored in the 
library are in the form of rectangular frames. A 
vehicle such as a helicopter simulator has a field of 
view which represents what is seen through the 
"windshield" thereof which in the simulator is the 
screen of a computer monitor. The four corners of a 
stored image having a rectangular frame are located by 
calculations in the face of the monitor screen. The 
mapping of rows and columns of a stored image is done in 
two passes or stages. Perspective mapping from the 
rectangular stored frame to the monitor screen makes 
conversions on the basis of a different parts of the 
object being different distances from the "windshield" 
or face of the monitor screen and thus the more 
realistic effects of a perspective view are achieved. 
 
 
The two-pass perspective mapping process provides for 
mapping images of objects which appear in the field of 
view from the corresponding images in the library to the 
face of the monitor screen. The method facilitates 
substantially true perspective mapping as distinguished 
from approximate perspective mapping.

the rotor and the auxiliary link so as to rock the 
auxiliary link in response to the rotation of the rotor, 
thereby changing the distance (N) between the outer end of 
the tie rod and the steering axis of the knuckle.

Patent EP-0445934-A3 (EP)
Title: Two-dimensional spectrometer
IPC: G01J3/18
Filed: 1991-02-20
Abstract: A double-pass two-dimensional spectrometer utilizes a telescope which contains only reflective optical components and is therefore free of chromatic aberrations. The telescope is so used in combination with dispersing optics (17,18) as to allow double-pass use of the combination. The telescope has a state of correction such that, for example, an image which is diffraction-limited at 800nm is produced over a flat field, corresponding to a wide-angle object coverage. This state of correction is accomplished with only two mirrors (10,11), one of which is a conic (e.g., hyperbolic) surface of revolution, while the other is a reflecting generalized polynomial aspheric corrector; and both mirrors are rotationally symmetric surfaces of revolution, each about its own axis of revolution. The double-pass nature of the system allows for a compact optical system consisting of only two reflecting surfaces, plus the dispersing optics, and there are no internal obscurations, thus avoiding negative effects of diffraction off of internal structures. The invention is shown for its applicability to each of several types of spectrometer-design configurations. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for signal processing
IPC: H04N5/60
Filed: 1992-04-30
Abstract: A digital demodulator for a NICAM 728 system signal has sampling and digitizing means converting the signal into a succession of digital samples. The digital samples pass through an anti-aliasing digital comb filter to a selector (decimator) that selects one sample in three and feeds it to a second digital filter. Digital matched filters for the in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) components of the signal effect the demodulation. Carrier and symbols I tracking is carried out digitally. A pulse-width modulated automatic gain control signal is produced for controlling the amplitude of the signal applied to the sampling and digitizing means. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of generating a security design by electronic means
Inventor: GUEX LAN
IPC: G07D7/00
Filed: 1995-10-06
Abstract: The grid of parallel lines is generated with the aid of computer graphics giving a specific ratio of the line width (lo) to the periodicity (do). The background thus created is then varied by respacing in accordance with a modulation function having preselected parameters. Finally the line width is adjusted so that its ratio to the interline spacing reverts to the original value. The initially straight lines may also become curved and a pseudo-relief image may be created by erasure of those parts of the lines which lie within its contours.

Abstract: A circuit and method for generating a checksum for a TCP packet on the
fly. A stream of 32-bit data words from a TCP packet is split into two 16-bit data
word streams and separately summed using 16-bit adders. The carry-out from
the adders is tied to the carry-in thereof so as to incorporate any carry bits
generated into the sum. At the end of the data stream, three further summing
cycles are used in order to generate the final 16-bit one's complement
checksum. First, the two 16-bit data stream partial sums are added together,
including any carry bit from one of the adders while the carry-out from the other
adder is stored. In the second cycle the stored carry-out and the carry-out from
the first cycle are added into the sum. In the third cycle, any carry bit generated
in the second cycle is added to the sum so as to produce the final checksum.
