Abstract: The roll (2) is esp. for paper and is supported at the underside to counteract sagging. A cushion of compressed air is generated between the support (5,6) and the roll. The support comprises one or more plates, whose surface largely matches the contour of the underside of the roll. The plate contains one or more compressed-air outlets (7), and the air can escape between it and the roll. The plate adjusts automatically in the radial direction of the roll dependent on the diameter of the latter, to match its contour. The plate can bend elastically under the action of an adjusting motor (6) with a hinge joint (8) to one of its lengthwise edges.

Title: A fault tolerant queue system and method therefor
Inventor: HAULIN TORD LENNART
IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 1994-11-23
Granted: 2001-04-18
Abstract: A fault tolerant queue system for buffering data in a packet switch with a common buffer memory for one or more output ports from the switch uses a number of pointers identifying storing positions in the buffer memory. Multiple copies of the same pointer are handled in a controlled way by using a multiple pointer list where the number of copies included in the system of respective pointers are recorded. A maintenance function checks that the number of copies of a pointer agrees with the value recorded in the multiple pointer list for the respective pointer. The maintenance function cyclically checks all pointers and appurtenant buffer positions, one at the time. This is preceded by an initiation procedure during which the pointer is taken out of operation by filtering out the pointer from the flow of pointers which from output queue lists for queueing pointers in queue to the output ports of the memory are returned to the idle list, until the queue system has been emptied of each copy of the pointer in question. Thereupon, the number of returned copies of the pointer in question is compared with the value in the multiple pointer list. The maintenance function can thereafter work in accordance with one or more operating modes for performing the cyclical control.

A reference curve is established for the amount of metal contained in the furnace and the tilt angle of the furnace. This reference curve is established by first calculating a theoretical curve based on the geometry of the furnace and then correcting the theoretical curve based on the volume of metal used between one tilt angle and a greater tilt angle. The amount of metal contained in the furnace is read from the reference curve after the curve has been corrected for any deviation between actual metal level and reference metal level.

Date Jan. 9, 1997In an optical data storage medium with a storage area formed from a transparent, homogenous base material and with a number of optically active structures at one side of the storage area, the optically active structures are diffractive optical elements which can focus a beam of light incident on the storage area on to one or more points in the storage area and/or a redirected beam of light or emitted light radiation from this or these points on to a point outside the optical storage medium. During writing/reading of data in the storage medium, the diffractive optical elements are used for focusing the write/read beam in order to generate a data carrying structure or read data stored in such a data carrying structure, respectively. By exploiting the special optical properties of diffractive optical elements, it is possible to achieve parallel writing/reading of data, possibly in several parallel storage layers in the optical storage medium or randomly distributed therein, the optical storage medium thus providing a genuine volumetric storage and a corresponding genuine volumetric accessing of the stored data.

Abstract: The in-situ measurement of the shear modulus of a surface layer of soil (12) is performed by apparatus in which a contact foot (11) with a preselected downward bias force engages a defined area of a region of soil. A drive transducer (13) shakes the contact foot (11) vertically and sensing transducers (17, 18) determine the force applied to the foot (11) and the resulting movement of the foot (11) and generate respective first and second output signals. The in-phase movement responsive output signal is analyzed in relation to the force signal to obtain a measurement of a single parameter which is representative of the stiffness provided by the soil (12). The shear modulus as well as the void ratio of the soil can be calculated from the stiffness. The drive transducer (13) is energized by an a.c. signal which progressively varies in frequency over a preselected band with the rate of change also varying with frequency thereby providing a greater force spectrum content at lower frequencies than at higher frequencies in the band, while maintaining a substantially constant force magnitude.
