Patent EP-0272561-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DEV ROGER H
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 1987-12-11
Abstract: Apparatus for distributing the processing of data across a plurality of loci of control (109) which are connected by a mail system (107). The apparatus includes a package (104) which contains files of various types (103) and a route (105) specifying the order in which the package is to be circulated among the loci and the processing to be done at each locus. Each locus includes programs (208) executable by users which can manipulate the contents of the package. The programs automatically take the type of file being manipulated into account. The manipulations include modifying the unexecuted portion of the route. Each locus further includes a process (215) which executes the route as modified, a process (225) which tracks the package and receives control commands, and a process (229) which handles errors detected by the other components or by users. The tracking processes maintain data bases (227) for locating the package. When a user or the error handling process enters a control command at one locus, the tracking process at that locus uses the data bases to locate the package and send the control command to the locus currently processing the package. The route executing process checks with the tracking process and executes any control command before it sends the package to the next locus.

Abstract: A process is provided for preparing N-acyl-aminothiophenols, e.g., N-acetyl-para-aminothiophenol, or aminothiophenols, e.g., para-aminothiophenol, by reacting a hydroxy aromatic ketone, e.g., 4-hydroxyacetophenone (4-HAP), with hydroxylamine or a hydroxylamine salt, to form the oxime of the ketone, subjecting the oxime to a Beckmann rearrangement in the presence of a catalyst to form the N-acyl-hydroxy aromatic amine, e.g., N-acetyl-para-aminophenol (APAP), reacting the N-acyl-hydroxyaromatic amine with an N,N-di-(organo) thiocarbamoyl halide, e.g., N,N-dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride, to form an O-(N-acyl-aminoaryl)-N,N-di-(organo) thiocarbamate, e.g., 0-(N-acetyl-para-aminophenyl)-N,N-dimethylthiocarbamate, pyrolytically rearranging the 0-(N-acyl-aminoaryl)-N,N-di(organo)thiocarbamate to form an S-(N-acyl-aminoaryl)-N,N-di(organo)-thiocarbamate, e.g., S-(N-acetyl-para-aminophenyl)-N,N-dimethylthiocarbamate, and hydrolyzing the latter compound to obtain the N-acyl aminothiophenol or aminothiophenol. The N-acyl aminothiophenol may be reacted with an acylating agent to form the N,S-diacyl-aminothiophenol, e.g., N,S-diacetyl-p-aminothiophenol, or may be further hydrolyzed to the aminothiophenol, e.g., p-aminothiophenol.

Abstract: A bit interleaved multiplexer system (10) permitting byte synchronization of apparatus (20a,20b,...) communi­cating thereon without the consumption of additional aggregate bandwidth is provided. The system comprises a multiplexer (30), a demultiplexer (40), and an aggregate line (50a). The multiplexer (30) includes a transmit frame (52) which includes a memory means and at least one recirculating counter which is programmed according to a framing algorithm, and a transmit data buffer (54) and transmit mark buffer (56) for each terminal (20a,20b,...) which is to be connected to the system (10). Every time the transmit frame (52) requests a predetermined bit of a byte (e.g. an MSB), a "1" is marked in teh mark buffer (56). When a bit leaves the mark buffer (56) it causes the terminal (20a,20b,...) to write a bit into the trans­mit data buffer, with the written bit being an MSB when the bit leaving the mark buffer (56) is a "1". By arranging the delay through the transmit mark and data buffers (54,56) to be equal to I(L) + C, where I is an integer greater than zero, L is the length of a byte, and C is a contant phase shift, when the transmit frame (52) requests an MSB, an MSB will be sent by the transmit data buffer C requests later. If C is set to zero, an MSB will be sent when the transmist frame (52) so requests. The demultiplexer (40) of the invention includes a receive frame (62) which is synchronized with the transmit frame (52) and which includes a memory means and at least one recirculating counter, and a receive data buffer (64) and receive mark buffer (66) for each terminal (20a,20b,...) which is connected to the system. Every time the framing algorithm indicates the M&B is being received by the receive frame, a "1" is marked into the receive mark buffer (66) while the bit is forwarded to the receive data buffer (64). Because the receive mark and receive data   buffers (64,66) are equal in length, the terminal (20a,20b,...) receiving information from the buffers (64,66) will be provided with the information as to whether the received bit is an MSB.

Abstract: A hearing aid comprises an automatic gain control arrangement (2-6) which provides an output signal of substantially constant average level. The arrangement has a slow control generator (5) which provides a relatively slow release time and adapts the gain to the average level of the input signal, and a fast generator (4) which provides a relatively fast release time to allow impulsive sounds or transient signals to be accommodated. When a sufficiently loud impulsive sound is received, the fast generator (4) takes control of the gain to avoid discomfort or overloading. The arrangement (2-6) limits the dynamic range for sound pressure levels above a threshold, such as 60 dB SPL.

Abstract: A process for the cryogenic purification of industrial by-product hydrogen streams to recover a high yield of a high purity hydrogen product in which two or more of such by-product streams, one (27) containing detrimental amounts of non-readily condensible impurities having boiling points below that of methane, the other (19) containing by-product hydrogen gas streams which are substantially free of non-readily condensible impurities involves passing the feed streams separately through successive cooling (44, 46) and separation stages (54, 62). At each separation stage, a liquid bottom fraction containing readily condensible hydrocarbons is separated from the overhead of each of the two feed streams. Successive separations are carried out until the overhead from the stream which is substantially free of non-readily condensible impurities (but which contains a significant amount of readily condensible impurities, including methane) attains the desired degree of purity. At this point, the bottom fraction of this stream is predominantly liquid methane, and this bottom fraction (56) is used to scrub the overheads of the stream containing significant amounts of the non-readily condensible impurities.

Abstract: Apparatus for adjusting the timing of a valve, particularly but not exclusively for use with a four-stroke internal combustion engine, is disclosed. The apparatus includes a cam (1), which engages a cam follower (4) which is arranged to actuate a valve mechanism (3) in response to rotation of the cam (1). The cam follower (4) is moveable in translation relative to the axis of rotation of the cam (1) to vary the extent of actuation of the valve in response to rotation of the cam (1). The cam follower (4) is shaped so that for a part of a cycle of rotation of the cam (1), the line of action of the force from the cam (1) to the follower (4) forces the follower (4) to move in translation. This movement is greater at low cam rotational speeds than at high cam rotational speeds and, due to the profile of the surfaces of the follower, the translational movement provides varying extents of valve actuation in dependence upon cam rotatonal speeds.
