Title: Applying marking materials to surfaces
IPC: E01C23/16
Filed: 1982-01-19
Granted: 1984-09-05
Abstract: A method and apparatus for marking road surfaces, runways etc. Marking material, normally a heat fusable solid in particulate form, is passed from a hopper (10) into a duct (18) where it is mixed with hot pressurised gas from a burner (20), the heat from the gas causing the marking material to partially melt. The marking material is then directed along a flight tube (22) from which it is expelled onto the surface (24) being marked. When the material cools the particles fuse together leaving a durable marking on the road surface. The apparatus is mounted on a vehicle in such a way that markings may be applied on either side of the vehicle. Control of the flow of marking material is by variable aperture venturi valves (40), as is control of flow of pigment and, when necessary, of purging material.

Title: Method and apparatus for communicating data byte streams
Inventor: KILK ERIK
IPC: H04J3/00
Filed: 1997-03-13
Granted: 2000-09-13
Abstract: The invention in its preferred embodiment involves a data producer such as a host processor that multiplexes two or more data byte streams onto a single communication link, whether serial or parallel, for transmission to a data consumer such as an ink-jet or laser printer, scanner or facsimile machine. The data are packetized with header information including a start byte, a destination channel ID byte and size byte. At the data consumer, the data under control of a state machine are header-stripped, unpacked, routed and stored in appropriate two or more ring buffers. Exception handling such as data loss or framing error recovery may be performed by the data consumer's communicating its status to the data producer or by the use of handshake lines such as READY or BUSY, rendering the invented method and apparatus compatible with unidirectional or bidirectional hardware links. The data consumer hardware, including the multiplexer, or selector, the state machine and various registers for holding channel information and byte count, operates relatively independently of the device's firmware-based controller so that there is very little software or firmware overhead during data reception.
