Title: Roll-up door:electric and manual drive
Inventor: SHEA CHUNG-SHIEN
IPC: E06B9/74
Filed: 1998-02-06
Abstract: When electric motor 211 is energised to open or close a roll-up door via reduction gear R, electromagnetic means 224 is energised to pull chain disc 225 from clutch 226' against the bias of spring 2242. A manual pull on chain 2251 will not then roll the door. When the motor is de-energised, spring 2242 urges the chain wheel against clutch 226', and the chain will roll the door. Thus de-energising of the motor, e.g. during removal, automatically enables the manual drive. The compression of spring 212 may be adjusted from outside (Fig. 6, not shown) to adjust the load which motor clutch 222 transmits. Reduction gear R may be driven from between the motor and the chain disc (Fig. 9, not shown).

Title: Low amplitude CMOS logic signal transmission
Inventor: OKAYASU TOSHIYUKI
IPC: H03K19/017
Filed: 1998-08-20
Abstract: The effect of line CL and receiver CG capacitance in a CMOS digital signal transmission circuit is reduced by biasing the line LIN via a low output impedance voltage source AC which produces a voltage equal to the switching threshold voltage of the receiver RC. The output impedance of the voltage source is between a quarter and a half of the output impedance of the line driver DR, so that the voltage swing on the line is small. The voltage source AC may be a CMOS inverter with feedback or a CMOS pair in which the transistors are turned on by connecting their gates to the supply rails (figure 14). Alternatively, the voltage source AC may be a voltage buffer with the input potential fixed by a resistive voltage divider (figure 16).The method may be applied to lines internal to an IC (figure 1) or between ICs (figure 13).

Title: Data processing apparatus
Inventor: PAVER NIGEL C
IPC: G06F9/30

Abstract: A data processing apparatus (400, 800) including a plurality of functional units (402-412, 802-812) (for instance ALUs, program counters, multipliers); each functional unit performs a set of prescribed operations. An instruction decoder functional unit (404, 804/814) decodes a current instruction into functional unit signals so that the plurality of functional units perform a corresponding instruction task. A communication device (416, 820) couples the functional units to one another. The apparatus may be an asynchronous digital processor (800) in which case self-timing and inter-block communication are used to implement a self-timed scheduler. The self-timed scheduler may include: a decoder controller (804); a scheduler controller (814) which decodes each current instruction to generate functional unit schedule and control information; a communication device (820); and a plurality of scheduler functional unit controllers (816). Each of the plurality of functional units is associated with a respective scheduler functional unit controller (816). The scheduler controller (814) controls the operations of the functional units and implements a set of instructions that takes account of the data dependencies between, and the variable execution times of, the functional units (802-812). Furthermore, an entire instruction or instruction set may be modified by a programmable circuit (1302, fig 13). The modification may be implemented during initialization or execution.

Title: Spring and damper unit
Inventor: WARD ADRIAN ROGER
IPC: F16F9/06
Filed: 1999-03-29
Abstract: A spring and damper unit (10) comprises two telescopically movable housings (11, 12) containing a spring chamber (28) for a gaseous medium such as air and a damping chamber (27) for a damping fluid such as hydraulic oil, a first piston (21) for causing compression of the gaseous medium on movement of the housings together in a compression stroke and a second piston (22) for causing displacement of damping fluid from the damping chamber (27) during the compression stroke. Part of the spring chamber (28) is disposed between the two pistons (21, 22) so as to be reduced in volume by movement of the pistons towards one another on movement of the housings apart in a rebound stroke. A valve (24, 26) is provided to control communication of that part of the spring chamber with the rest of the spring chamber and is operable in an end stage of the rebound stroke to interrupt the communication and cause the movement of the housings apart in that end stage to be braked by compression of gaseous medium isolated in the part of the spring chamber between the pistons. The valve can have the form of a rod (24) extending through an opening in the first piston (21), the first piston being movable along the rod during the rebound stroke and the rod and opening being co-operable during that stroke to define a communicating passage between the two parts of the spring chamber until attainment of the end stage of the stroke and to cause the passage to be blocked during that end stage.

This allows binary or information of exact magnitudes to be transmitted. Means for monitoring(29) the rotation include emitter devices eg. magnets or mechanical switches which emits a signal or influences its surroundings such that the rotation activates sensing means. The sensor detects changes in the field or signal produced by the emitter caused by rotation of the tubular(25). The output from the sensor will activate means for controlling the drill or other device to act in a way as required by the information transmitted by the tubular(25).
