Title: Determining the frequency of a first oscillator with reference to a second oscillator during execution of boot code
Inventor: MANGNALL JON
IPC: G06F1/08
Filed: 2008-04-30
Abstract: A circuit and method for determining the frequency of a first oscillating reference signal which may be a master clock signal of an integrated circuit 1 generated by a first reference oscillator 11a. The circuit comprises: a second reference oscillator 11b which may be a real-time clock arranged to generate a second oscillating reference signal having a known frequency, a boot memory 4 storing boot code comprising clock configuration code, and a processor 2 coupled to the boot memory and the second reference oscillator. The processor is arranged to execute the boot code from the boot memory upon booting, wherein when executed the clock configuration code operates the processor to determine the frequency of the first reference signal by reference to the second reference signal preferably using timing circuitry 16. The frequency of the first reference signal may be quantised onto a predetermined set of known values of first reference oscillator frequency wherein determining the frequency entails selecting the closest frequency from the set which may then be stored in an addressable register CRPC 13 along with a corresponding multiplication factor of the phase locked loop PLL 12. Once the frequency of the first reference oscillator has been discovered this can be used to more accurately calibrate the second reference oscillator (real-time clock). The processor may initially operate at a default speed set in the boot code. The circuit and method allow for automatic discovery of the crystal 11 a to which the chip 1 is connected and adjusts a phase-locked loop (PLL) 12 accordingly.

Title: Algorithm for dividing a sequence of values into chunks using breakpoints
Inventor: ESHGHI KAVE
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 2005-06-07
Abstract: A method of dividing a sequence of data into chunks using a sliding window uses an algorithm to compare fingerprint values for each position within the sequence against sets of criteria to create breakpoints. When a fingerprint value does not satisfy a first set of criteria a second set are applied and if satisfied a potential breakpoint is identified. Subsequently, if a fingerprint value that satisfies the first set of criteria is not found before the maximum chunk size is reached the potential breakpoint is designated as a breakpoint. Additional constraints on minimum and maximum sizes of chunks can be used to further refine the method. Further sets of criteria may be used if a fingerprint value does not meet wither of the two initial criteria sets. Preferably the fingerprint value can be identified using Rabin's Fingerprint algorithm.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a process for the production of sulphur and compositions containing sulphur in a finely divided form
IPC: C01B17/06
Filed: 1950-04-24
Abstract: In obtaining sulphur in a finely divided state, e.g. with a particle size of 0.1-0.5m , by heating a solution containing a polysulphide, e.g. of ammonium or volatile organic bases, such as dimethyl amine, ethyl amine, or dimethyl ammonium, or mixtures of any of these, which decomposes to deposit sulphur while all its other constituents volatilize, the heating is affected while the solution presents a very large surface area whereby it is subjected to intensive evaporation so that the sulphur is obtained directly in the dry state.  The evaporation may be continuous or intermittent in vacuo below the boiling point with the solution spread on rotating hot plates or drums at atmospheric pressure, or atomized in a spray or flash drier.  The solution may include excess ammonia or volatile base and protective colloids, adhesive and wetting agents, e.g. sugar, dextrine, sulphite waste lye, caseinates, resinates, or soap, may be added which are present in the sulphur product.  Inert carriers, e.g. talcum, kaolin, or chalk, insecticides and fungicides may be added before or after evaporation.  The protective colloids may be subsequently washed out of the product.  The product with 50 per cent colloid forms a colloidal solution of sulphur with water.

Title: Improvements in and relating to razor blade or like sharpening machines
IPC: B24D15/08
Filed: 1919-04-22
Abstract: 145,910. Marks, E. C. R., (Twinplex Manufacturing Co.). April 22, 1919. Stropping-apparatus.-The device is characterized by the provision of a linkwork handle 81, which in the inoperative position is housed within the hollow spindle 51 of one of the stropping- rollers. For use, the handle is pushes outwards by means of a finger-piece 71, Fig. 4, into the dotted-line position, and is then bent as shown in Fig. 7, the pivots of the links 75, 76 being offset so as to limit the angle of crank. A one-way clutch device is shown separately in Fig. 8. Four apertures 55 are formed in the shaft 51 in such a position that, when the handle 81 is fully withdrawn, the ball 85 of the clutch can engage one of them and so transmit drive from the handle to the shaft and gear-wheels 58, 56. If rotated in the opposite direction, the ball falls into a groove 84 and does not drive the shaft. The stropping-rollers are of the shape shown in cross-section in Fig. 5, the leather covering 67 being mounted on a sheet-metal drum 64, the edges of which are bent backwards at 65 and provided with teeth to hold the leather in place. To maintain their shape, the ends of the rollers take into grooved recesses formed in the sides of the gears 58 and in disks at the opposite end. The blade-holder comprises two semicylindrical parts 86, 96. Fig. 5, the part 96 being pulled outwards through an aperture 45 in the casing by means of a handle (not shown) to insert the blade, and is then slid back into engagement with the part 86. The blade can only be inserted or withdrawn when a lug 98 is in alinement with a slot 103 in the aperture, thereby preventing damage by cutting the leather. The operating-handle is then rotated, and the rollers strop one side of each edge of the blade. When the flat parts of the rollers allow, the blade is rotated through 180 degrees to strop the other side of each edge. This is done by the intermittent engagement of the toothed segment 56, offset from the gear 58, with Geneva gearing mounted on the end of the bladeholder. The edges 21, 22 of the oval sheet-metal casing are overlapped at the bottom as shown in Fig. 5, and fastened by a lug 23, and the cupshaped end-walls are also secured in place by lugs and grooves 27, 28. A removable cover 33 is sprung over an oval aperture 31 in the top of the casing.

Title: Improvements in delay action electric switches
IPC: G04F1/06
Filed: 1919-04-23
Abstract: 141,195. White, J. W. April 23, 1919. Make-and-break switches. mechanical; timelimit devices; fluid actuation.-A delay-action electric switch, for automatically reversing an electric motor at a predetermined.time interval after it has completed a movement in one direction in a hauling or hoisting operation, consists of a see-saw device E carrying a hinged cistern B, C at each end, and floats L, M in the cisterns connected with hinged contact members N, O which are adapted to engage with the contacts R, S. The cisterns are maintained in the vertical positions by a parallelogram linkage consisting of the link H, which carries the contacts R, S, and the hinged pipe T provided with an adjustable valve U. In one extreme portion of the changeover switch, the contacts P, R are in engagement, and if the main circuit is closed, the circuit is completed to the driving-motor. When the hoist arrives near its other extreme position, a trigger is operated to reverse the position of the see-saw and consequently separate the contacts P, R and break the motor circuit. The liquid contained in the upper cistern B then flows slowly to the lower cistern, and after a predetermined time the float M is raised sufficiently to bring together the contacts Q, S and thereby supply current to the driving-motor in the reverse direction. The lifting and lowering continues automatically until the main switch is opened. Instead of using floats, the cisterns may be supported from the see-saw platform by springs or counterweights, and the liquid flowing into the lower cistern may act to depress the cistern and close a switch. The arrangement may be such that, as one switch is cut in, the other is cut out.
