Title: Pivoting and barrier locking operator system
Inventor: MULLET WILLIS J
IPC: E05F15/16
Filed: 2006-02-01
Granted: 2011-01-04
Abstract: A system for moving a barrier between limit positions, includes an operator motor assembly mounted proximate to the barrier, wherein at least a portion of the motor assembly is movable between an operating position and a locking position with the motor assembly blocking movement of the barrier. A bias assembly biases the motor assembly in the operating position and allows the motor assembly to move toward the locking position when either a predetermined force overcomes a biasing force or when the barrier is moved to a closed limit position or when forced entry is imposed on the barrier. The biasing force may be adjusted by moving posts on the motor assembly that are engaged by the bias assembly. A disengagement feature may also be provided that allows pivotable movement of the motor assembly even when in a locking position. And the pivoting motor assembly may be used as a secondary entrapment input to an operator controller.

Title: Imaging member
Inventor: ABU-ABED MOHAMED I
IPC: G03G5/00
Filed: 2008-06-19
Granted: 2012-02-28
Abstract: A layer on the reverse side of an imaging member provides excellent crack resistance to the imaging layer(s) on the front side. The crack-deterring backing layer can be a laminated self-adhesive, such as tape, or a coating.  Because the crack-deterring backing layer is on the reverse side, it does not affect the electrical properties of the imaging member. Overcoat layers may be used whose function is limited to improved scratch resistance.

Title: Method and apparatus to facilitate communication resource allocation for supergroups
Inventor: FURRER NATHANIEL M
IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 2007-03-16
Granted: 2012-10-30
Abstract: A network element (300) can facilitate allocating first and second communication resources (such as, but not limited to, FDMA and TDMA communication resources) in support of supergroup communications. By one approach this comprises identifying (101) communication talkgroups as are to comprise a part of the communication supergroup and then determining (102) whether any of the communication talkgroups comprise first resource-only talkgroups. When any one of the communication talkgroups comprises a first resource-only talkgroup, the network element allocates (103) communication resources to support the communication supergroup wherein the communication resources do not comprise second resource communication resources (for example, the network element allocates first resource communication resources). On the other hand, when none of the communication talkgroups comprises a first resource-only talkgroup, the network element allocates (104) communication resources to support the communication supergroup wherein the communication resources comprise second resource communication resources.

Abstract: A processor pipeline is segmented into an upper portion - prior to instructions going out of program order - and one or more lower portions beyond the upper portion. The upper pipeline is flushed upon detecting that a branch instruction was mispredicted, minimizing the delay in fetching of instructions from the correct branch target address. The lower pipelines may continue execution until the mispredicted branch instruction confirms, at which time all uncommitted instructions are flushed from the lower pipelines. Existing exception pipeline flushing mechanisms may be utilized, by adding a mispredicted branch identifier, reducing the complexity and hardware cost of flushing the lower pipelines.

Abstract: A combustion chamber (10) for burning solid fuels having a high volatiles content has a hollow body (11) with a cylindrical wall section (12) and a top section (13) located at end (14) of the cylindrical wall section (12). The hollow body (11) has a primary air inlet (20), a fuel inlet (23) and four volatiles outlets (25) (one shown), mounted therein. Each volatiles outlet (25) has a plurality of apertures (26) of differing sizes arranged in a plate (27).  In use, the burning volatiles exit the apertures (26) in a turbulent flow resulting in efficient combustion of the volatiles.  Additionally, a heat transferring surface (33) on a water jacket (32) is shaped around the combustion chamber (10) so as to define a channel (34) therebetween. This arrangement results in an efficient transfer of heat from the turbulent flow of volatiles, which is forced to circulate around the channel (34).
