Patent CA-2116580-A1 (CA)
Title: Appliance for preparation of hot drinks
Inventor: LUESSI ANDRE
IPC: A47J31/00
Filed: 1993-07-01
Abstract: The device, especially a coffee machine, comprises three boilers (1, 2, 3) for heating water.  To this end, in each boiler there is a heating element (10, 11, 12) which can be switched on and off by a switch (20, 21, 22) in a control device (16). There is also a temperature probe (13, 14, 15) in each boiler to measure the hot water temperature.  In addition, the control device (16) has computing (17) and storage means (18, 19).  Predetermined reference temperatures for the water in the individual boilers and the maximum power supply available for the coffee machine can be stored in the storage means (18, 19).  The control device is laid out in such a way that, on the basis of the water temperature cycle in the individual boilers, heating power can be distributed to that boiler which needs it first owing to a certain priority.  At the same time, it is ensured that the coffee machine can draw no more heating power than is available.  This variable heating power allocation to the individual boilers thus makes it possible to dispense a large number of beverages even if the maximum available power is insufficient to supply all the heating elements at the same time.  The heating power is allocated in the device of the invention depending on the power supply and the power requirement of the individual boilers.

Title: Disk meshing and flexible storage mapping with enhanced flexible caching
Inventor: JOST LARRY T
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 1994-04-21
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A data processing system is disclosed, which includes a processor having a processor memory and a mechanism for specifying  an  address  that  corresponds  to  a  processor-requested data block located within another memory to be accessed by the processor.  A hierarchical memory system is provided, which includes a cache and a long-term storage. In accordance with a mapping and meshing process performed by the memory subsystem, an address of a requested data block is translated to a second addressing scheme, and is meshed, so that proximate data blocks are placed on different physical target disks within the long-term storage.  In accordance with a cache drain mechanism, the cache will drain data from the cache to the physical target disks, under different specified conditions, such as when it is determined that the storage control processor is idle and has not attempted to drain for a predetermined sleep time.  A further mechanism is provided for preserving data within the cache that  is  frequently accessed by the requester processor.  In this regard, recently accessed data buffers within the cache are placed at a most-recently-used  location  of  a  cache  listing.    Subsequent assignments of cache buffers, e.g., to physically read data from long-term storage into the cache, are preferably obtained from a portion of the cache listing that is remote from the most-recently-used location.  A user-configuration mechanism is provided, which allows the user to define one or more user-configurable parameters which will control the access to the cache, and the transfer of data between the processor and the cache and between the cache and the long-term storage.

Abstract: A feed conveying apparatus is disclosed for use in a poultry or livestock feeding system (10). The feed conveying apparatus has a housing (14, 203) having a feed inlet (I) which receives feed from a feed supply (12, BFT) and a feed outlet (O). The housing has a body (24) which generally converges downwardly and inwardly from the feed inlet toward the feed outlet. A feed conveyor (16, 207) extends through the housing. The conveyor has a conveyor tube (17, 209) with a feed auger (18, 211) therein. The feed auger has a multiplicity of substantially equally spaced flights (62) and is driven within the conveyor tube for picking up feed from the housing and for conveying it through the conveyor tube. A regulator (58, 300) is provided for regulating the amount of feed within the conveyor tube downstream from the housing to an amount less than will totally fill the conveyor tube so as to form a partial void (V) within the conveyor tube and to prevent overcompaction of the feed within the conveyor tube. An agitator weight (144a, 219) is positioned within the housing which is movable by the auger as the latter moves within the housing. The agitator weight has a rod (164, 221) attached thereto for breaking up bridging feed within the housing above the level of the agitator weight.

Title: Positive pressure canister purge system integrity confirmation
Inventor: COOK JOHN E
IPC: F02M25/08
Filed: 1994-01-27
Abstract: The tank/canister volume's integrity against unacceptable leakage is either confirmed or denied by a diagnostic test performed by an on-board diagnostic system which includes an electrically operated air pump (24) and tank-mounted analog pressure transducer (28). At the beginning of a test, the engine management computer (22) closes the canister purge solenoid valve (12) and operates the pump to begin pressurization of the tank/canister volume. The pumped air is introduced via the canister's atmospheric vent port (14V) so that the pressurizing air is entrained with fuel vapors previously collected in, but not yet purged from, the canister. Failure to build to a predetermined pressure within a predetermined time indicates a gross leak.  Upon attainment  of the predetermined pressure, the pump is shut off. If the pressure drops by more than a certain amount during the test, integrity is denied. If not, integrity is confirmed.

Title: Low loss fiber optic coupler and method
Inventor: QUINN RICHARD ALAN
IPC: G02B6/28
Filed: 1995-08-02
Abstract: A method of making 1 x 2 or 2 x 2 overclad couplers, switches and the like such that the process is more reproducible and loss characteristics are improved.  Such couplers are typically made by inserting the stripped portions of two active optical fibers into a tube, heating the tube midregion to collapse it onto the fibers and stretching the central portion of the collapsed midregion to achieve the desired coupling characteristics.  The improvement involves the insertion of one or two spacer fibers into the tube bore along with the active fibers to take up empty space that had been present in tube bore and to prevent an active fiber from sagging and crossing over the other fiber when the tube is heated during the tube collapse step.
