Title: Synchronous bus
IPC: G06F13/362
Filed: 1990-03-09
Abstract: A high-speed synchronous bus is provided for a computer 
system that allows efficient communication among a plurality of 
processors or other data devices coupled to the bus.  
     The bus provides systematic bus access, without 
arbitration, to data devices connected to the bus, and employs 
a central bus grant scheme for pre-allocated access to the bus 
by each data device. Data devices cannot seize or hold the bus. 
Means are provided for insuring that the bus is always in a read 
or write mode for a time which is long relative to the cycle 
time of the bus. Bus timing includes, for each bus frame, a 
number of time slots allocated to respective data devices. 
During a bus frame, access to memory is synchronized.  
     According to another aspect of the invention, two clock 
signals are propagated in opposing directions on the bus to 
control similarly traveling data signals. Also included are 
means for achieving a fast bus cycle time, typically in the 
range of 20 - 60 nanoseconds per cycle, which is less than the 
cycle time of the computer system. A backplane is provided of 
a length which can be driven reliably at the cycle time of the 
bus, and which is modularly expandable

Patent EP-0401988-A3 (EP)
Title: Retaining and/or pouring means for tanks for metal melting baths
IPC: B22D41/08
Filed: 1990-05-16
Abstract: The invention relates to means for retaining 
contaminations in metal melting baths, e.g. a tundish 
containing molten metal.  
     Contaminations, e.g. from slag and other 
covering layers on the metal surface, can pass through 
the outlet of the tundish and hence contaminate the 
cast metal. The invention aims to avoid this problem 
by providing an annular buoyancy body (2) which 
surrounds the outlet (4), the body (2) being in the 
form of a protective ring preventing particles (10, 11) 
floating on the surface of the metal (12) from entering 
outlet (4). The body (2) may be constrained to 
surround a starting tube (1) which surrounds outlet (4) 
and to float up the starting tube (1) with increasing 
depth of molten metal (12). Pouring openings (3) in 
the starting tube (1) are thereby effectively closed by 
body (2) as the slag-covered surface of the metal (12) 
rises above the openings (3) and the openings (3) are 
then exposed to allow molten metal (12) to flow through 
only after layers (10, 11) of potential contaminations 
have safely passed.

Title: Method and system for measuring the pressure drop of cigarettes
Inventor: CASE PAUL DAVID
IPC: A24C5/18
Filed: 1992-11-11
Abstract: A cigarette making machine is provided with a pressure drop measuring unit (1) located at or close to the garniture of the making machine. The pressure drop of a gas stream of constant volume is introduced into the compacted tobacco rod beneath the format finger (2) on the making machine at a point at which that pressure drop measurement correlates with the bound pressure drop of the finished cigarette. The unbound cigarette pressure drop or draw resistance experienced by the smoker can be calculated using the bound tobacco rod pressure drop obtained by correlation with the measured pressure drop across the rod in an algorithim processed by calculation means. The degree of ventilation of the cigarette may also be utilised in the algorithim calculation. Comparator means allows the unbound cigarette pressure drop to be maintained within pre-set limits by varying cigarette parameters which affect the overall unbound cigarette pressure drop. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system and method for loading cargo as cargo units in an aircraft
cargo handling system having a cargo loading bay (14) that opens
laterally of the aircraft and at least one cargo stowing bay (6)
adjacent to the cargo loading bay (18,20) longitudinally of the
aircraft. Two self-erecting power drive units (26,28) are disposed in
the cargo loading bay such that the associated rollers are oriented to
propel cargo units in orthogonal directions. The two power drive units
in the loading bay are also disposed adjacent to each other such that,
when both are in the erected position, the rollers of each unit
simultaneously engage a single
overlying cargo unit (24). The power drive
units may be simultaneously placed in the erected position with the
