Title: Distributed real-time communications system
Inventor: MOLLER MATTHEW DONALDSON
IPC: H04L7/00
Filed: 1997-03-27
Granted: 2007-11-06
Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided which enables users to communicate in a perceived real-time environment. In one embodiment, a number of musical parts are contributed one each from a number of client terminals. Each terminal generates and sends to a server a short sequence or sequence of sequences, for example a few bars of music. The server echoes the sequences out to each of the other clients' terminals where they are synchronised to a local clock and repeated a plurality of times, with the generated sequence being repeated at the sending client a similar number of times. The local synchronisation overcomes the problems of propagation delay between clients and server, and the repetition of sequences allows a continuous stream of data to be output at each client. A solo or non-repetitive line may be added by commencing sending the solo line to the server before the remaining lines. The solo line is buffered at each of the clients and then synchronised to the local clock. The non-solo lines arrive at the solo client after the solo data stream has commenced. However, as they are repetitive, they are synchronised by the local clock to the next sequence repeat.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for producing subterranean walls comprised of granular material. The apparatus comprises a beam for making insertions into and extractions out of the ground. The beam includes a top portion, an open bottom portion, and a hollow interior portion therebetween which receives a supply of granular material. In usage, the beam is inserted into the ground to form a void therein. The apparatus also includes a disposable shoe which is removably attached to the open bottom portion of the beam. In usage, the shoe prevents earthen material from entering the hollow interior portion of the beam as the beam is inserted into the ground. The apparatus further includes an actuating mechanism which detaches the shoe from the open bottom portion of the beam after the beam has been inserted into the ground so that granular material is released into the void as the beam is extracted therefrom. The method comprises the following steps: suspending the beam above the ground; removably installing a disposable shoe onto the open bottom portion of the beam; inserting the beam and the removably installed shoe into the ground to form a void therein; delivering granular material to the hollow interior portion of the beam; detaching the shoe from the bottom portion of the beam; and extracting the beam from the ground while granular material flows through the open bottom portion thereof to fill the void with granular material.

Granted: 2002-07-09
Abstract: Disclosed is a wall mounted microwave oven and a control method therefor, including a body forming a cooking cavity for accommodating food to be cooked, a magnetron for generating electromagnetic waves to be provided into the cooking cavity, a casing surrounding the body and forming therein a hood duct having an inlet port positioned at the bottom portion of the casing and an outlet port positioned in the upper portion thereof, and a hood fan installed in the hood duct. The wall mounted microwave oven includes a switch for selecting one out of a low-level voltage and a normal voltage supplied to said magnetron and a controller for controlling the switch in such a manner that the low-level voltage is supplied to the magnetron when the hood fan operates during the magnetron operates with the normal voltage, and simultaneously extending remaining cooking time by a predetermined rate. Accordingly, the wall mounted microwave oven changes the normal voltage supplied to the magnetron into the low-level voltage and extends cooking time, to thereby efficiently cook the food, in the case that the hood fan and the hood electric lamp operates simultaneously.

Title: Transmitting system for small-sized vehicle
Inventor: YOSHIMOTO TOKUJI
IPC: B62M7/02
Filed: 1999-11-12
Granted: 2004-06-29
Abstract: In a transmitting system for a small-sized vehicle in which a crankshaft of an engine and an input shaft of a multi-stage transmission are connected to each other through a fluid transmitting device, a shifting clutch is interposed between the crankshaft of the engine and the multi-stage transmission in a series relation to the fluid transmitting device. A lock-up clutch is interposed between a pump impeller and a turbine impeller of the fluid transmitting device. Thus, when the multi-stage transmission is to be shifted, the shifting operation can be conducted lightly, in spite of a creep phenomenon of the fluid transmitting device, by bringing the shifting clutch into an OFF state. Moreover, during cruising of the vehicle, the slipping of the fluid transmitting device can be inhibited by the OFF state of the lock-up clutch to enhance the transmitting efficiency.
