Inventor: HOWELL STEPHEN K
IPC: G06F17/10
Filed: 1996-11-26
Abstract: The present specification describes a
parallel processor (102) which is capable of
partitioned multiplication and partitioned addition
operations convolves multiple pixels in parallel. The
parallel processor (102) includes a load and store
pipeline of a load and store unit (48) which retrieves
data from and stores data to memory and one or more
arithmetic processing pipelines of an arithmetic
processing unit (28) which aligns data and performs
partitioned multiplication and partitioned addition
operations. A patch of pixels from a source image are
convolved substantially simultaneously in the
arithmetic processing pipeline of the processor (102)
by execution of the partitioned multiplication and
partitioned addition operations. At substantially the
same time, a subsequent patch of pixels from the source
image are read by the load and store unit (48) of the
processor (102). The subsequent patch of the source
image is a patch which is aligned with respect to a
secondary index and is incremented along a primary
index to avoid excessive cache misses when retrieving
pixel data for convolution. Reading of pixel data is
performed in the load and store pipeline (48) of the
processor (102) while the arithmetic processing
pipeline (28) substantially simultaneously performs
partitioned arithmetic operations on the pixel data to
thereby convolve the pixel data.

Abstract: A communication system including a CLOS switching network, and
a method for characterizing network capacity, usage, congestion, and
blocking and/or near blocking stages. The CLOS switching network
includes input, center and output stages each comprised of at least
one switch, a plurality of first links connecting each input stage
switch to each of the center stage switches, and a plurality of
second links connecting each center stage switch to each of the
output stage switches. The system also comprises a controller for
determining the idle/busy status of each of the first and second
links, and for calculating a measurement of available paths between
each of the input stage switches to each of the output stage
switches based on the status of the first and second links. In one
embodiment of the method according to the present invention, the
status of each link is determined and the measurement of available
paths is calculated prior to executing a routing algorithm to
determine the path or paths that can be utilized to satisfy a
communication request received by the system. Use of the system and
method of the present invention permits for characterization of
network capacity, usage, congestion, and blocking and/or near
blocking states, and may also result in improved efficiency by
avoiding complex routing calculations in no paths or only limited
paths are available to satisfy the communication request.

Abstract: Apparatus for providing slave direct memory access (DMA) support on a
computer system bus that does not support slave devices, such as the personal
computer interconnect or "PCI" bus. An adapter card or microprocessor has a
local DMA controller that can act as a busmaster and simulate a system DMA
controller which would normally be used during slave DMA operations.
Alternatively, the local DMA controller can work with an existing system DMA
controller so that application software receives the correct status when polling
registers in the system DMA controller. The local DMA controller allows the
system DMA controller to operate as if the system DMA controller is controlling
DMA transfers. In this way device contention between the system DMA
controller and the local DMA controller is avoided.

Abstract: Described herein is a method to evaluate the cleaning performance of brush cleaners by
measuring the brush to photoreceptor nip width (115) (e.g. cleaning footprint or contact zone) using
a sensor (120). The sensor (120) detects a leading edge (92) and a trailing edge (91) of the brush
to photoreceptor nip (115) to determine the nip width measurement which is converted into
diagnostic information using a software algorithm or similar mode of conversion. The diagnostic
information can be used in a variety of ways such as a diagnostic tool for a technical representative
to warn against the end of brush life, to adjust cleaner biases for automatic changes in setup to
achieve better cleaning, to predict brush replacement, to correct brush BPI (i.e. brush to
photoreceptor interference) for an under or over engaged brush.

Title: A method of packaging a beverage containing gas in solution and a beverage package
Inventor: DODD CAROLE JANE
IPC: B65D17/34
Filed: 1997-12-03
Abstract: A method of packaging a beverage having gas in
solution and a beverage package has a container 10
containing the beverage 6 to form a headspace 15.
Floating on the beverage 6 is a hollow spherical capsule
having a restricted aperture 7. During sealing of the
container 10 by a top 20 the headspace 15 is pressurised
(by a nitrogen dose 16) and during such pressurisation the
insert 1 is raised relative to its natural floating
position on the beverage 6 to ensure that the aperture 7
communicates with the headspace 15 to pressurise the
chamber of that insert. The aforementioned raising of
the insert 1 is preferably achieved by subjecting the
insert to a centrifugal force during rotation of the
container in seaming the top 20 thereto or by magnetic
attraction. Following pressurisation of the headspace 15
the insert is lowered to float naturally on the beverage 6
with its aperture 7 submerged. During pressurisation the
insert 1 may take in a minimal volume of beverage from the
container. When the container is opened by ring pull 25
a pressure differential develops causing fluid under
pressure to be ejected from the insert 1 through the
aperture 7 into the beverage 6 for liberating gas from
solution and the development of froth on the beverage.

Abstract: When a driver voluntarily operates the steering during an
automatic steering control operation, the automatic steering control
operation is discontinued and a normal power steering control operation
is resumed. The automatic steering control operation is not quickly
changed to power steering control operation, but rather is gradually
changed to the power steering control operation, to prevent a sudden
change in the steering reaction which the driver receives from the
steering wheel and, hence, to decrease the feeling of incompatibility.
While the control amount of a steering actuator changes accompanying
the change of the operation from the mode of automatic steering control
operation to the mode of power steering control operation, the control
amount is linearly changed from a value of the automatic steering control
operation to a value of the power steering control operation over a
predetermined period of time.

Abstract: A Coriolis mass flowmeter operated by deforming and vibrating a
vibration tube through which a measuring fluid is passed, using a
Coriolis force generated by the flow of the measuring fluid and the
angular vibration of the vibration tube. In this mass flowmeter, the
vibration tube is fixed to the housing at the upstream fixed point and
downstream fixed point and the original axis is taken as a straight line
connecting these fixed points. The vibration tube is operated so that
the tube performs simple harmonic oscillation or circular motion on
circumferences at predetermined distances away from each point of the
original axis around the original axis taken as the center. 
     Since the vibration tube oscillates only in the circumferential planes
at equal distances from the original axis, the length of the vibration
tube does not vary regardless of the position of the tube. 
     Accordingly, the tensile force in the direction of the axis is always
constant. 
     That is, the leakage of vibration due to the variation in the force
in the direction of the axis can be eliminated. Enhanced isolation of
vibration makes vibration inside the flowmeter stable and this enables
a highly accurate and stable Coriolis mass flowmeter to be achieved. 
     Specifically, since the Q value of the internal vibration becomes high,
a Coriolis mass flowmeter is achieved that is not easily affected by
vibration noise, consumes less power, and reduces zero and span changes
due to changes in the amount of vibration leakage.
