Abstract: A redundant array storage system that can be configured as a RAID 1, 3, 4, or 5 system, or any combination of these configurations. The invention comprises a configuration data structure for addressing a redundant array storage system, and a method for configuring a redundant array storage system during an initialization process. The redundant array storage system comprises a set of physical storage units which are accessible in terms of blocks numbers. The physical storage units are each configured as one or more logical storage units. Each logical storage unit is addressed in terms of a channel number, storage unit number, starting block number, offset number, and number of blocks to be transferred. Once logical storage units are defined logical volumes are defined as one or more logical storage units, each logical volume having a depth characteristic. After the logical volumes are defined, redundancy groups are defined as one or more logical volumes. A redundancy level is specified for each redundancy group. The redundancy level may be none, one, or two. Logical volumes are addressed by a host CPU by volume number, initial block number, and number of blocks to be transferred. The host CPU also specifies a READ or WRITE operation. The specified volume number, initial block number, and number of blocks to be transferred are then translated into a corresponding channel number, storage unit number, starting block number, offset number, and number of blocks to be transferred. With the present invention, it is possible for a logical volume to span across physical storage units ("vertical partitioning"), comprise only a portion of each such physical storage unit ("horizontal partitioning"), and have definable depth and redundancy characteristics.

Abstract: A system and method for wafer scale integration optimized for medium die size integrated circuits by interconnecting a large number of separate memory (or other circuit) modules on a semiconductor wafer so as to electrically exclude both defective modules and defective interconnect/power segments, and include operative modules and interconnect/power segments. A set of discretionary connections are associated with each of the separate modules and interconnect/power segments and such connections are made (or broken) after a module or interconnect or power segment is tested. A power supply network is set up by combining operative power segments. A bidirectional bus is set up by combining operative interconnect segments to connect to each operative modules. This bidirectional bus consists of one or more hierarchies for speed, power and yield considerations. Each module is assigned an identity code using discretionary connections. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for providing control of a fuel-operable burner assembly of a firefighter trainer in accordance with a sensed environmental parameter such as the temperature of an object such as a metal grating or prop that is positioned adjacent to the burner assembly. The control system and method are particularly advantageous to simulate fire reflash following substantial extinguishment of the fire, as operational parameters such as the rate of flame growth, maximum flame height, and reflash delay can be selected and varied from one scenario to the other to modify the training scenario in accordance with such factors as trainee proficiency and the type or class of fire. Burner control is preferably accomplished by an automated processing system in accordance with the foregoing environmental and operational parameters.

The explosive substance is dissolved or suspended in a combustible liquid which contains no available oxygen or only a small amount of available oxygen, preferably fuel oil, wherein the amount of liquid present is so large as to reduce the energy content of the mixture to 1 MJ/kg or less in the absence of available atmospheric oxygen. The mixture is burned in a combustion apparatus, by delivering the mixture to the combustion apparatus via a liquid fuel burner or a burner for solid fuel/liquid fuel suspensions. The grain size of the explosive substance in suspension is selected so that each grain will be incinerated during its residence time in the flame of the burner concerned.

Abstract: An oxygen-fuel firing system for a furnace comprising separate, spread apart nozzles for introducing gaseous streams of oxygen and fuel into the furnace at spaced apart locations. The gaseous streams merge within the furnace away from the furnace walls and crown. Thus, the main combustion within the furnace takes place in the central portion of the furnace where a broad flame cloud is created. The broad flame cloud provides a more uniform temperature profile within the furnace for a more efficient processing of materials being melted in the furnace.

Abstract: A method of treating an engine exhaust gas stream containing hydrocarbons and other pollutants comprises the steps of flowing the exhaust gas stream through an adsorbent zone (24) to adsorb at least some of the hydrocarbon pollutants with an adsorbent composition comprising a zeolite, in particular a Beta zeolite, a zeolite having a relative Bronsted acidity of less than 0.5 or a steam-treated zeolite. The exhaust gas stream is then discharged from the adsorbent zone and flowed to a catalyst zone (28) to convert at least some of the pollutants into innocuous products. The exhaust gas stream, so treated, is then discharged to the atmosphere through suitable discharge means. A preferred adsorbent is a zeolite having a relatively high silica to alumina ratio. An oxidant such as air may be added to the exhaust gas stream at a point upstream of the catalyst zone. Apparatus for treating an engine exhaust gas comprises an adsorbent zone (24) downstream of the engine and a catalyst zone (28) downstream of the adsorbent zone.
