Title: Array synchronization
Inventor: NOLAN JOHN MATTHEW
IPC: G06F1/12
Filed: 2002-12-20
Granted: 2005-11-16
Abstract: A method is disclosed for achieving synchronization in an array of semi-synchronous devices. A processor array has an array of processor elements, wherein each of said processor elements comprises a cycle counter, and a master processor element is able to transmit control command signals to each of the other processor elements. Each processor element is such that, on receipt of a control command signal, it acts on that signal only when its cycle counter reaches a predetermined value, and the master processor element is such that it transmits control command signals only when its cycle counter takes a value which is within a predetermined range, or "safe window". By appropriate setting of the "safe window", it can be guaranteed that, when the master processor element transmits a control command signal to each of the other processor elements, those command control signals are acted upon at corresponding times within the other processor elements.

Granted: 2005-08-03
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for the automatic insertion of an individual upholstery tuft ( 3 ) and washer ( 1 ) from a plurality of connected tufts ( 4 ) and a plurality of connected washers ( 2 ) into an upholstered article. The apparatus has a cutting blade ( 35 ) to separate an individual tuft ( 3 ) from the plurality of connected tufts ( 4 ). The turf ( 3 ) is then engaged by a pair of arms ( 27, 28 ) and fed into a tuft insertion needle ( 14 ). The arms are connected to automatic washer feed apparatus which feeds an individual washer ( 1 ) from the plurality of connected washers ( 2 ) and aligns it with the tuft insertion needle ( 14 ) ready for insertion. The insertion needle ( 14 ) is pneumatically actuated to force the tuft ( 3 ) through the washer ( 1 ), into the upholstered article, release the tuft ( 3 ) and subsequently withdraw the needle ( 14 ) from the article.

Title: intermittent drive systems
Inventor: WEBB MICHAEL JAMES MORLEY
IPC: B65H45/16
Filed: 2006-03-13
Granted: 2007-07-04
Abstract: To fold sheets of newsprint (1), a ring gear 7 is driven in rotation by a motor 11 under the control of a controller 12 such that, for most of the time, the ring gear 7 rotates at the same speed as a folding cylinder 2 and arms 8. When it is desired to initiate a folding operation, the ring gear 7 is momentarily stopped or slowed. The relative motion that occurs between the ring gear 7 and planet gears on the arms 8 causes the planet gears 9 to rotate about their axes and respective tucking blades 6 mounted on the planet gears 9 to protrude above the surface of the cylinder 2, where they engage collated sheets on the cylinder surface and push them into the nip of folding rollers (4). Upon completion of the movement of the planet gears 9 and associated tucking blades 6, the ring gear 7 is again caused to move at the same angular speed as the arms 8, such that the tucking blades 6 retain their “silenced” positions below the surface of the cylinder 2.

Title: Plate heat exchanger
IPC: F28F9/22
Filed: 1978-08-29
Granted: 1982-03-03
Abstract: A plate heat exchanger has elements through which a medium flows. The elements are two thin metal plates, in at least one of which passages and opposed manifolds connecting the passages are formed by deep drawing. The plates are coated with a sealing adhesive and bonded together. The manifolds extend across the entire length of the elements and are closed at their ends by end closures inserted in the manifolds and sealed to the plates. Distributing conduits running transversely to the plates of the heat exchange elements, are connected to channels provided in the end closures so that the medium can flow from a distributing conduit through an end closure into a deeper shaped manifold and then into the passages and leave the elements in a corresponding manner. Pipes having a cross-shaped cross-section can be inserted in the end closures to serve as distributing conduits and also as tie-rods to hold the elements of the heat exchanger together.

Title: Solder delivery means
IPC: B23K3/06
Filed: 1981-06-08
Granted: 1984-03-14
Abstract: A solder delivery system has a continuous element of solder material adjacent to at least one polymeric layer, which is provided with window means to control the flow of solder. The layers, if there are more than one, may be separate pieces, or may be parts of a folded sheet or a tube of polymeric material. In use, the conductors to be soldered are placed adjacent to corresponding terminals of a substrate and the system placed in contact with and perpendicular to the conductors, with the window means towards the conductors. On the application of heat and pressure, the solder melts and flows toward the terminals, and solder bridges are prevented by the "window frames" which lie between the terminals.

Abstract: In a metallic mold, all or a part of the annular portion for molding at least the tread of the tire is formed by a plurality of small separate pieces (10, 11, 12) that can be combined to form said annular portion. Between these small pieces, during the molding of the tire, clearances are maintained so as to permit the passage of air but not the passage of rubber. The above clearances are connected through vent holes (20, 21, 22) to air suction means (40). Such vent holes are also connected with means (44) for blowing pressure fluid through the clearances. The construction of this mold portion by means of small pieces made with cuts of the aforementioned portion in the axial and the circumferential direction permits regulation of the width of the clearances with respect to the rheometric characteristics of the elastomeric material to be molded and to adapt easily the mold to different tire sizes by increasing or decreasing the number of such pieces. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1987-10-28
Abstract: A single resource in the form of a data bus (BS) is shared among a number of users in the form of Modules (M). Control of the bus is restricted to not more than one module at a time. Each module is assigned a different n-digit binary identity number, all the identity numbers containing the same number m of ones, and associated with BS there are n lines AB which perform the wired-OR function. When a request for the control of BS is made, the module or modules determines whether the resulting number carried by AB contains exactly m, or more than m, ones. If it contains more than m ones, indicating two or more requestors, arbitration between them takes place in a known manner to determine which of them shall control BS first. But if the number on AB contains exactly m ones there can be only one requestor and so arbitration is disposed-with.
