Patent GB-2127998-A (GB)
Title: Encachement apparatus
Inventor: PILAT JOHN FREDERICK
IPC: G06F12/1036
Filed: 1983-09-21
Abstract: The apparatus comprises a first cache (RMNC 517), a second cache (ABC 502) data registers (ABRC 504), an adder (513) receiving inputs from a first multiplexer (525), a second multiplexer (511) connected to the second cache (502) and to the registers (504), and control apparatus (515). The first cache outputs, in response to a key, a cache entry containing a first displacement value, a base specifier specifying either one of the registers or the second cache, and for entries specifying the second cache, a second displacement value. The first displacement value is output to the first multiplexer (525), the base specifier is output to the control apparatus (515), and the second displacement, if present, is output to the second cache (502). The control apparatus (515) responds by causing the first multiplexer to select the displacement value output by the first cache (517) and causing the second multiplexer (511) to select one of the values (FP, SDP, PBP) contained in the registers (504) or the value output by the second cache (502) in response to the second displacement. The adder (513) then adds the values selected by the first, second multiplexer respectively and outputs the resulting address to a descriptor bus (333). <IMAGE>

Title: Method and Apparatus for Locating the Boundary of an Object
Inventor: DEFOREST SHERMAN E
IPC: G01B11/24
Filed: 1984-02-20
Abstract: An apparatus and method for automatically locating the boundary of an object in a field of view has a scanning camera 34 to generate an electrical image of the field of view. The electrical image is segmented and digitized to form a first representation. Each digitized signal is then compared with a pre-set threshold in a comparator 38 to form a second representation. A converter 42 combines the value of each boundary pixel of the second representation with the values of the adjacent boundary pixels into a single value and stores it in a corresponding location in a third representation held in a third memory 44. The non-zero pixel values in the third representation are read out to a lookup table 46 which is also supplied with tracing step direction information from a theta register 60, the table 46 outputting  DELTA X and  DELTA Y values for steering the tracing of the boundary in the third representation. A chain 54 of boundary values of the particle is formed. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2199404-A (GB)
Title: Refractive index measuring device
Inventor: RAW JOHN IAIN
IPC: G01N21/43
Filed: 1986-11-19
Abstract: The device includes: a light source (1); guide means (2) for guiding light from the light source into a prism (3), the prism having one face in contact with a medium (4) whose refractive index is to be measured; means (5) for extending the light path of outgoing light from the prism (3) which light has undergone total internal reflection at the prism face; and a linear array (6,7) of optic fibres acting as a detector for the outgoing light and guiding the detected light to a decoder and display unit (8). The device utilises the principle that when total internal reflection occurs at the face of the prism (3) in contact with the medium (4), the angle of reflection depends on the refractive index of the medium (4). The detected light can hence be processed by the decoder and display unit (8) to produce a refractive index value. The decoder and display unit (8) may be dispensed with, a display being given directly by the illuminated end(s) of the optic fibres. The device may be used to measure an oil/water emulsion in hydraulic fluid lines of underground mining machinery. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2202062-A (GB)
Title: Checking a system configuration
Inventor: OLDHAM STEPHEN JAMES
IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 1987-03-14
Abstract: To enable a hardware configuration check to be carried out, each circuit card type is allocated a predetermined code which is hard-wired into the card during manufacture. A central configuration map is stored in a central processor (7) which downloads segments of that map to each card-containing shelf (2) in the system. A shelf controller (3) interrogates each card on every read or write operation to determine the card type and effects a comparison between the card identity and the configuration map. Any hardware configuration error results in an output error message which may specify the error down to card level. Thus system configuration errors are automatically identified using a relatively inexpensive hardware modification of standard circuit cards. <IMAGE>

Title: A process for improving high-temperature alloys
Inventor: BIANCHI LEONARD MARK
IPC: C23C14/50
Filed: 1988-02-22
Abstract: An electron beam evaporation and deposition (EBED) process which produces high purity and ultrafine grain size in high-temperature and reactive metal alloys, which properties are important in metals used in aircraft gas turbine components operating under high-cycle fatigue conditions at up to 1250 DEG C, uses ingots produced by current melting, remelting and refining methods whose properties are to be improved, which are placed in a vacuum chamber (30) and evaporated by an electron beam (42). The resulting vapour (20) is condensed on a starting pad (10) to form the product ingot (18) with the desired improved properties. The desired shape and size of the product ingot is achieved by controlling the motion of the movable rod (12) on which the starting pad is placed. Proven increases in fatigue life have been obtained with an alloy of chromium, cobalt and molybdenum by use of the EBED process. It should also produce similar results in alloys with the other base metal elements such as iron, nickel, titanium, zirconium, aluminium or magnesium.
