Title: Method for providing parity in a raid sub-system using a non-volatile memory
Inventor: HITZ DAVID
IPC: G06F11/10
Filed: 1995-12-21
Abstract: The present invention is a method for providing error correction for an array of disks (828) using non- volatile random access memory (NV-RAM) (816). Non-volatile RAM (816) is used to increase the speed of RAID recovery from a disk error(s). This is done by listing of all blocks for which the parity is possibly Inconsistent. This list of blocks is much smaller than the total number of parity blocks (820) in the RAID. The total number of parity blocks (820) in the RAID (828) is in the range of hundreds of thousands. Knowledge of the number of parity blocks that are possibly inconsistent makes it possible to fix only those few blocks, identified in the list, resulting in a significant time savings. The technique for safely writing to a RAID with a broken disk is complicated. In this technique, data that can become corrupted is copied into NV-RAM (816) before the potentially corrupting operation is performed.

Patent CA-2170767-A1 (CA)
Title: Vehicle heating appliance with water pump venting
Inventor: HUMBURG MICHAEL
IPC: F24D19/08
Filed: 1994-12-27
Abstract: In a vehicle heating appliance, water is pumped as heat transfer medium through a heat exchanger that surrounds the combustion chamber. The water pump is mounted above the heat exchanger and pumps the water it axially receives into the heat exchanger through a tangential pump outlet pipe. To vent the pump, a connection hole with a small cross-section is provided in the top area of the pump part of the water pump. The connection hole leads to the system flow pipe. Any air bubbles accumulated in the pump chamber of the pump part reach the flow pipe through the connection hole, propelled by their own ascending force and helped by the geometric arrangement of the pump chamber and return pipe, including the connection hole, and/or additionally by the pressure difference between the pump chamber and the return pipe.

Patent CA-2176006-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BENTSEN JAMES G
IPC: G01N21/77
Filed: 1994-10-25
Abstract: The present invention provides an optical fluorescence based sensor for measuring the concentration of a gas (e.g., CO2 or ammonia) in a medium such as blood which has improved drift stability. In a preferred embodiment, the sensors of the present invention comprise microcompartments of an aqueous phase having a pH sensitive sensing component within a hydrophobic barrier phase. The sensors of the present invention are substantially free of partitioning species other than the analyte of interest which can migrate from one phase to the other in response to a change in pH in the aqueous phase and which substantially affect the concentration dependent signal. In an alternative embodiment, the sensors of the present invention are constructed so as to retard the migration of partitioning species, thus reducing the initial rate of drift.

Title: Electrolyte Activatable Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery Cell and Method of Making Same
Inventor: GOZDZ ANTONI S
IPC: H01M50/497
Filed: 1994-11-02
Abstract: Li-ion rechargeable battery cell electrode (13, 17) and electrolyte/separator (15) elements formulated as layers of plasticized polymeric matrix compositions are laminated to form a unitary battery cell structure. The structure may be stored indefinitely, since it is essentially devoid of electrolyte solution which typically comprises a moisture-sensitive lithium salt. Prior to the battery's being put into service, the plasticizer of the polymeric composition is removed by extracting with a selective solvent and is replaced with a lithium salt electrolyte solution by simple imbibition. The battery thus activated may then be charged and recharged in the usual manner.
