IPC: C03C25/10
Filed: 1967-08-18
Abstract: Method for coating fibres with a coating material comprised drawing the fibres over a sufficiently thick layer of thixotropic coating material supported on an applicator. The coating material can be used in gel form. The fibres pref. consist of glass fibres. The fibres are pref. drawn over the applicator at a speed below that required to convert the coating material from the gel state to the liquid state. The apparatus used for coating the fibres consists of a roller rotatable around a central axle mounted on a holder.

Title: Method of state reduction in an equaliser
Inventor: RADEMACHER LEO
IPC: H04L25/03
Filed: 2000-05-03
Abstract: An equaliser comprises first and second filters 406 and 408 having associated filter coefficients, a channel model filter 414 having associated model coefficients and a number of state-defining taps, and an adaptive algorithm unit 416. The algorithm operates in accordance with a Respective State Channel Estimation (RSE) technique that adapts the filter and model coefficients in response to an error signal "e" corresponding to a difference in filter and model outputs. The RSE technique involves generating a separate channel model for each state but is adapted so as to reduce the number of possible states associated with taps by allocating a smaller number of "superstates" on a tap-by-tap basis. This eases the demands made upon the digital processor and makes processing of 8-PSK (EDGE) signals viable. The channel model filter is adapted a number of times corresponding to the reduced overall number of states.

Title: Pressurized slip joint for intervention riser
Inventor: MILNE RANALD
IPC: E21B19/00
Filed: 1999-10-28
Abstract: A pressurized slip joint for a marine intervention riser decouples the flowhead assembly in the moon pool of a vessel from the riser string, enabling safe changeover of equipment during workover operations. One part of the slip joint assembly is coupled to the flowhead assembly through a flexible joint assembly. A second part of the slip joint assembly supports the riser string and is coupled to the tensioning mechanism. The first part may be inserted into the second part and locked in place during workover operations except when equipment changeover is taking place. When changeover is being carried out, the first an second parts are unlocked, so that the flowhead assembly does not move relative to the vessel. In the locked position, a metal-to-metal high pressure seal, with a secondary and tertiary seal controls the pressure in the riser. In the unlocked position, a hydraulically operated dynamic low pressure seal is used.

Title: Raid storage system with logicaly partitioned cache
Inventor: MCNUTT BRUCE
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2000-09-27
Abstract: A computer system has a main memory and a cache that is logically partitioned into two levels, each with different granular natures. The first level of the cache stores data in segments, and the second level stores data as groups of segments. When a request for a piece of data is made the computer determines whether the data is held in the first-level cache, if it is then the data is read from the first-level cache. If the data is not in the first-level cache, then the second-level cache is searched for the data, if the data is found the segment is passed to the first-level cache and the data is read from there. If the data is found in neither of the caches, then a group of segments containing the data is read into the second-level cache and the segment containing the data is read from the second-level cache into the first-level cache. Least recently used data (LRU) is destaged from the cache.

Title: DRAM memory page operation method replacing faulty memory pages
Inventor: HOU CHIEN-TZU
IPC: G11C29/00
Filed: 2001-08-17
Abstract: A DRAM memory page operation method comprises a set up procedure and an operation procedure. The set up procedure tests and finds out whether any deficit exists in the memory page of the memory and establishes a table of look-aside buffer that indicates defective locations and the corresponding new locations. The real operation procedure is executed after the set up procedure completes. It establishes a fast page lookup table according to results in the set up procedure for instructing the memory page or memory unit to operate in the normal access mode or the page operation mode. Good memory pages then replaces faulty or bad memory pages according to the records in the fast page lookup table and the bad memory pages are moved to addresses at the very end of the memory so that the memory can operate even with deficits. Thus, no deficit in a single DRAM memory page/unit will halt the whole system.

Title: Object locking in a shared vm environment
Inventor: MCGUIRE RICHARD KENNETH
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2001-10-19
Abstract: A system is provided which comprises multiple Java virtual machines (VMs) . Each VM is capable of running a plurality of threads. The system includes at least one object which is shared between the VMs so that it is accessible from two or more VMs, and at least one non-shared object which is accessible only from a single VM. In order to perform a lock operation on a shared object, it is first detecting that an object is a shared object. In a preferred embodiment, this is accomplished by locating a predefined value in a particular lock data word in the object. In response to the detection, a monitor is used to control local access to the shared object for the thread that is requesting the object. The monitor is on the same VM as the requesting thread. In addition, a data structure, which may be a proxy object, is updated in order to associate the monitor with the shared object.
