Abstract: A virtual LAN repeater adapted for carrying traffic from multiple virtual LAN groups. The repeater is adapted for retransmitting a data frame at approximately the same time as transmitting a virtual LAN identifier message based upon virtual LAN group membership of devices coupled to the devices. Furthermore, the repeater is also adapted for receiving the data frame from other similar repeaters, and for receiving the virtual LAN identifier message at approximately the same time as the data frame. In order to provide selective data communication between proximate devices and remote devices based upon virtual LAN group membership of the devices, the repeater of the invention selectively corrupts the data frame retransmitted to any of the remote devices having virtual LAN group membership that does not match the virtual LAN identifier message received by the second repeater, while faithfully retransmitting the data frame to any of the remote devices having virtual LAN membership that matches the virtual LAN identifier message received by the second repeater.

Title: Digital frequency divider phase shifter
Inventor: TAYLOR STEPHEN D
IPC: H03H11/16
Filed: 1996-12-18
Abstract: A digital frequency divider phase shifter comprises a dual modulus counter divider (102) controlled by a programmable digital counter (112). An initial count corresponding to a desired phase shift is entered into the programmable counter (112). The dual modulus counter divider (102) divides by one of the moduli whilst the programmable counter is enabled to count the entered count, whence the other modulus is selected. A plurality of such phase shifters may provide a parallel circuit arrangement of a number of basic phase shift units, which each includes a dual modulus counter/divider and phase control circuitry (170) for controlling the counter modulus. The outputs of several units are combined in parallel. With the divider ratios of all the dividers of the units consisting of roots of pairwise relatively prime numbers, the total number of phase states is equal to the multiplication of its divider ratios. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

IPC: B29C67/00
Filed: 1996-02-12
Abstract: A structural prototype of the component part is made by first creating a cured resin model of the part, having a network of interconnected supporting members defining the shape of the part and leaving channels (28) between the supporting members to drain away uncured resin from the model. 
     After the model (22) is fully cured and the uncured resin drained away, a hardenable structural material (50) is infiltrated into the channels (28) of the model (22). The hardenable structural material is cured so that the resin model has become reinforced to provide a structural model of the component part. The hardenable structural material may be a mixture of powdered graphite and resin which is cured by heat. The heat may be sufficient to both cure the hardenable structure material and burn away the cured resin of the model so that the component part is then comprised of the hardened structural material having a network of channels therein where the cured resin of the model has been burned away. The model can then be further strengthened by filling the network of channels with a suitable hardenable material. 
     The method can also be used to make a mold to be used in making a molded component.

Abstract: A display and its method of manufacture requires a transparent superstratum having an image printed thereon using a four-color process. An iridescent foil is laminated to the superstratum with the image positioned between the superstratum and the foil. A substrate having a background design printed thereon is laminated to the foil with the background design positioned between the foil and the substrate to distance the design from the image and give the display a three-dimensional effect. To obtain additional visual effects for the sign, selected portions of the superstratum may be textured. Additionally, certain portions of the image can be masked with an opaque ink to give the masked portions a flat appearance while the remainder of the sign retains its iridescent qualities. To enhance the three-dimensional effect and give an embossed or etched look an extraordinarily thick ridge of ink can be deposited over certain portions of the image on the superstratum.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a continuously variable transmission
constructed in such a way that it can speed-change the power inputted to
the input shaft into a normal operation mode, power mode or low speed
mode according to the need and transmit the power to the output shaft
even though all the gears remain engaged, and in addition reverse
operation can also be effectuated in a simple way. 
     The present invention, comprises two planet gear sets each having a
sun gear (112,136), ring gear (132,154) and a carrier (114,142)
supporting a planet gear (128,150); a fuel ratio mode clutch (162) and
power mode clutch (156) which can be selectively connected to the
output shaft (160); a low speed brake (170) provided on the power line
connected between a turbine and the power mode clutch; and a reverse
rotation system. Each constitutional element selected from the two
planet gear sets is operatively connected to an impeller, turbine, power
mode clutch and fuel ratio mode clutch respectively, and the power
inputted through an input element (112) selected from the two planet
gear sets is changed into the required mode and transmitted to the
output shaft. 
     Reviewing the operational characteristics, the present invention is
constructed to output the input rotational force through different power
transmitting paths by utilizing the power mode clutch and the fuel ratio
mode clutch, and to transmit to the impeller the decelerated rotation
always smaller than the input rotation at the time of operation
of the fuel ratio mode clutch or power mode clutch. Therefore,
it is a characteristic of the present invention that it is constructed
in such a way that the rotational force transmitted to the impeller is
always larger than the input torque.
