Title: Metering and dispensing system
IPC: A01M1/20
Filed: 1990-10-26
Abstract: A method and apparatus for dispersing an active ingredient, such as a POUND umigant, fertilizer or room freshener. The active ingredient is placed in a container (13) and a pressurised solvent/propellent is subsequently introduced from a source (11). The solvent/propellent expands to adopt a liquid phase and a gaseous phase. The liquid phase serves to absorb the active ingredient and the gaseous phase serves to propel the borne active ingredient out of the apparatus through a dispensing outlet (14) where further expansion takes place and the active ingredient is dispersed in a fog or mist. Check valves (15, 16) create a pressure differential between the sample cylinder outlet (23) and a by-pass portion (22) to enable total absorption of the active ingredient. The system is particulary suitable for the spraying of insecticides where a metered amount of active ingredient is to be dispersed or for exhausting a total supply of active ingredient.

Title: Flushing means for drilling tools
IPC: E21B11/02
Filed: 1990-04-03
Abstract: A flushing means for drilling tools comprises a guide 
member (10) carrying a drill bit (20) and being rotatably 
centered by the mouth of a casing tube (11) which is adapted 
to follow the drilling tool downhole during drilling. The 
drill bit (20) has a bit portion (22) that projects laterally 
beyond and is spaced axially in front of the casing tube (11) 
so as to drill a hole larger than the casing tube (11). There 
are external flushing grooves (70,71) on the guide member 
(10) adapted to lead the outflow of flushing medium and debris 
from the hole during drilling into the casing tube (11). At 
least one of these grooves (70) extends from front to rear of 
the guide member (10). One or more further grooves (71) are 
open towards said rear while ending blindly into the peri­
phery of the guide member (10) spaced from its front. By re­
traction of the guide member (10) its front enters the casing 
tube (11). That closes the blind grooves (71) and an intensi­
fied flushing is thus possible via the remaining open grooves 
(70) that extends from front to rear of the guide member (10). 
The cutting front (40) of the bit portion (22) is flushed 
rotatively in counter flow to the rotational drilling direc­
tion (8) towards the full length groove (70).

Title: Enhancement-depletion mode cascode current mirror
IPC: H01L27/088
Filed: 1993-03-16
Abstract: An improved current source having high output impedance, low 
saturation voltage, and less sensitivity to process parameters 
is achieved by having enhancement P-channel transistor devices 
used as current mirror, while depletion P-channel transistor 
devices are provided as the cascode devices. A "diode 
connected" depletion device may be inserted between the 
enhancement gate and the drain of the current reference 
transistor to reduce saturation voltage. The "diode connected" 
depletion device keeps the drains of the enhancement devices at 
a similar voltage even when the enhancement and depletion 
device threshold, i.e. V T , do not track over temperature or 
process. Thus, the current mirror circuit provides not only 
higher output impedance, lower saturation voltage, but is also 
less sensitive to process variation.
Patent EP-0570069-A3 (EP)

Title: Ink jet recording apparatus, ink jet recording head therefor and method for determining the ejection state thereof.
Inventor: HIRANO HIROFUMI
IPC: B41J2/165
Filed: 1994-07-18
Abstract: A preliminary ejection sensor (29) of an ink jet recording apparatus includes a vibration plate (296) adapted to vibrate on receipt of an ink droplet ejected from an ejection port (323c) on a recording head (32) in order to detect the vibration of the vibration plate (296) depending on variation of a gap between a core (292a) and the vibration plate, whereby it can be checked whether ink is ejected from the recording head or not. In addition, the preliminary ejection sensor can check the present ink ejecting state of the recording head. Thus, in contrast with a conventional sensing system wherein ink ejection is sensed by an optical sensor on one side surface of the recording head, the structure of the ink jet recording apparatus can be simplified. Additionally, in contrast with another conventional checking system wherein a temperature sensor is disposed on the recording head to indirectly check the present ink ejecting state of the recording head by monitoring the elevated temperature, the ink jet recording apparatus assures that a checking operation can quickly be achieved at a high accuracy. Consequently, the ink jet recording apparatus makes it possible to exactly detect whether or not ink is correctly ejected from ink ejection ports (323c) formed on the jet recording head (32). <IMAGE>

Patent EP-0716370-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KOULOHERIS JACK L
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 1995-11-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus for delivering multimedia video data
from a server (host processor) to a plurality of clients
connected to a communications network. More specifically,
with this invention, preprocessed video and multimedia data
packets are striped across disks in units of fixed playback
time, even if such units result in variable length stripes. To
deliver multiple video or continuous media streams, the disks
in the array are accessed simultaneously so that at any given
instance, different disks are accessing the video or
multimedia data for different streams. Access to the disks for
reading the continuous media files is scheduled periodically,
with the period equal to the back time of the stripes. Because
each disk read command retrieves data for a fixed play back
time, if the first read command for a continuous media stream
request can be scheduled to complete on a disk within a
playback time, all subsequent read commands are also
guaranteed to not interfere with read commands of other
streams. Data is delivered directly from the disk array to the
communication network by a stream controller without being
sent to the host system. Disk storage is utilized efficiently
by allocating disk space in units of cylinders and storing the
variable size stripes of video in packed format.

Abstract: A data communicating device, having a number of inputs
whereat data is received for communication from one of a
number of outputs of the device, includes apparatus for
selecting one of the inputs based upon a comparison of
accumulated bias values that can change over time when an
input is kept waiting. Each input is provided an assigned
bias value from which is developed the accumulated bias value
that is compared with that of other inputs arbitrating for
access to an output. The output selects one of the inputs,
based upon the comparison, and the accumulated bias value of
the selected input is diminished by the sum of the assigned
bias values of the inputs participating in the arbitration,
but not selected, while the accumulated bias values of the
other participants are each increased by their corresponding
assigned bias values. Thereby, numbers of inputs having data
destined for the same output will have their chance of gaining
access to the output increased the longer they wait;
conversely, inputs which do gain access have their chances for
immediate subsequent access decreased in favor of allowing
other inputs access.
