Title: Link driven paper bundle clamping apparatus
Inventor: YOON JUNG HWAN
IPC: B42C1/12
Filed: 2012-08-30
Abstract: A paper clamping apparatus is adapted to clamp a paper bundle outputted from an office machine while the paper bundle is being moved and includes a movable body 130 adapted to move along a shaft 120 driven by a belt 110, a clamp base 150 connected to the shaft 120 at the ends of the movable body 130 and adapted to move along the shaft 120 by means of a movement of the movable body 130 and a clamp member (160 fig. 3) adapted to operate so that, when the movable body moves, the paper bundle is clamed or released by means of link driving. The clamp member (160 fig. 3) may comprise a first clamp 161 and a second clamp 162. As movable body 130 is driven downwards a link 180 causes first clamp 161 to rotate about transverse shaft 141 and second clamp 162 to move towards the first clamp 161 by means of a streamlined or curved slit 171 on link 180 and pin 163 on second clamp 162 such that the clamping apparatus is closed. As movable body 130 is driven downwards the motion of the clamps 161, 162 is reversed and the clamping apparatus is opened. A spring 190 may be installed between movable body 130 and clamp base 150 and provides a time delay between the movable body 130 beginning to move and the clamp base 150 moving, the delay being until the driving force on the movable body 130 overcomes the elastic force from the spring 190.

Title: A method of copying data from a first memory location and storing it in a cache line associated with a different memory location
Inventor: MEREDITH JASON
IPC: G06F12/1027
Filed: 2013-03-06
Abstract: A mechanism for copying data in memory is described which uses aliasing. In an embodiment, data is accessed from a first location (206) in a memory (208) and stored in a cache line (2040 associated with a second, different, location(212), in the memory. Preferably in response to a subsequent request for data from the second location in the memory, the cache returns the data stored in the cache line associated with the second location in the memory. Preferably the data stored in the cache line is written to the second memory location. The method may be implemented using additional hardware logic in the cache which is arranged to receive an aliasing request from a processor which identifies both the first and second locations in memory and triggers the accessing of data from the first location for storing in a cache lineassociated with the second location.
Patent GB-2512640-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the production and control of ions
Inventor: RAPTAKIS EMMANUEL
IPC: H01J49/04
Filed: 2013-04-04
Abstract: A nebulized fluid is formed by injecting a liquid comprising a solvent into a vacuum system 107connected to a mass analyzer directly at supersonic speeds. Liquid droplets are entrained within a gas stream 109 also injected into the vacuum system. The droplets are ionized by an electrode ring 217 although it is envisaged that non-charged droplets may be produced and ionized within an ion optics system. The solvent subsequently evaporates during transit through an ion optics system to provide a stream of ions to a mass analyzer. Secondary or primary ionization of the ions/molecules may be provided using a UV source arranged in the ion optics system. The droplets/ions produced by the nozzle are directly injected into the mass analyser vacuum system so differential vacuum pumping systems are not required. The nozzle configuration with direct injection into a vacuum enables reduced droplet sizes and increased droplet dispersion that enhances desolvation whilst at the same time allowing high flow rates. Also, the ion optics system provided converts the supersonic jet injected into the system into a subsonic laminar flow of ions, and because the ion flow is laminar the loss of ions in the ion-optics system is reduced.

Title: Method and apparatus for generating jitter-related data
Inventor: YOSHIDA KENSUKE
IPC: G01R29/26
Filed: 2013-12-23
Abstract: Timing jitter and alignment jitter eye patterns are generated for a serial digital interface (SDI). A sampling circuit using a clock from a phase locked loop (PLL) circuit 304 provides alignment jitter components in a first frequency band. A clock extractor 302 provided a divided clock signal to the PLL circuit and an input to a jitter detector circuit 308. Through a low pass filter 310 this provides data with components in a second frequency band corresponding to the difference between timing and alignment jitter. These are combined in a combiner circuit 312 to generate timing data in a third frequency band combining the first two. The combiner circuit 312 uses a write operation to RAM from alignment data and a read operation from the difference data.

IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2014-02-18
Abstract: An improved method and system are provided for pipeline depth exploration in a register transfer level design description of an electronic circuit. The method comprises providing a list of input registers and output registers for the circuit design to be modified S100, traversing output connections paths for each input register and replacing any register in the output connection paths by a respective wire unless the register is contained in the list of output registers S110. An initial total cycle time value for the modified registerless circuit design is determined, accounting for a register latch insertion delay time value S120. A gate level description for the modified circuit design is obtained by macro synthesis with the initial total cycle time value S130, and the total cycle time value for the modified circuit design is varied to determine theoretical limit of the modified circuit design S140. The theoretical limit of the modified circuit design is realized when negative slacks are present in the macro synthesis of the gate level description for the modified circuit design with the corresponding total cycle time value S150. The pipeline depth of the circuit design may be reduced, if said total cycle time value of the modified circuit design is lower than a threshold.
