Patent HK-1027876-A1 (HK)
Title: Write anywhere file-system layout method and apparatus
Inventor: HITZ DAVID
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1998-12-23
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for keeping a file system in a consistent state and for creating read-only copies of a file system. Changes to the file system are tightly controlled. The file system progresses from one consistent state to another. The set of self-consistent blocks on disk that is rooted by the root inode is referred to as a consistency point. To implement consistency points, new data is written to unallocated blocks on disk. A new consistency point occurs when the fsinfo block (2440) is updated by writing a new root inode for the inode file (1210) into it. Thus, as long as the root inode is not updated, the state of the file system represented on disk does not change. The present invention also creates snapshots (Figure 22) that are read-only copies of the file system. A snapshot uses no disk space when it is initially created. It is designed so that many different snap shots can be created for the same file system. Unlike prior art file systems that create a clone by duplicating the entire inode file and all of the indirect blocks, the present invention duplicates only the inode that describes the inode file. A multi-bit free-block map file (1630) is used to prevent data from being overwritten on disk.

Title: A method and aparatus for determining distance between two spaced apart surfaces

IPC: G01N21/31
Filed: 2006-04-10
Abstract: A method for determining distance between two spaced apart surfaces comprises; sampling values of an interference spectrum produced by reflections of frequency components of white light from the respective surfaces to produce a first array of sampled values of intensity of the interference spectrum and corresponding values of wavelengths of the reflected frequency components of the white light, computing an approximate value of the optical distance (formula) between the surfaces as a function of the wavelengths of two of the reflected frequency components of the white light from the first array based on the equation: <FORMULA> where h1 and h2 are wavelength values at which peaks occur in a waveform (32) derived from the first array, and k is the number of times the waveform (32) derived from the first array crosses a line (33) representative of the average of the intensity values of the first array, transforming the first array into a second array of the sampled values of intensity of the interference spectrum and values of the inverse of the wavelengths of the corresponding reflected frequency components of the white light, computing at least one further approxiamte value of the optical distance between the surfaces, each further approximate optical distance value being computed as a function of the immediately previously computed approximate optical distance value and the phase difference between the waveform (36) of the second array and a corresponding waveform of constant period derived from the immediately previously computed approximate optical distance value, and dividing the last computed optical distance value by the frfractive index of the medium between the surfaces, the distance there between of which is being determining the actual physical distance between the furfaces.  <Figures 4 & 5>
Patent IE-20100144-A1 (IE)
Title: Pot for evenly brewed tea/coffee
Inventor: BRENNAN MARTIN
IPC: A47G19/00
Filed: 2010-03-10
Abstract: A teapot or coffeepot comprises two chambers, a primary chamber 1 for teabags and hot water and a secondary chamber 2 with hot water only, divided by a sloped wall 3 between the chambers. To pour tea in use the user lifts the teapot at an angle so as to cause tea to flow out of the spout. The lifting and pouring action also causes water to be simultaneously poured from the secondary chamber over the top 4 of the sloped divider, into the primary chamber. This improves the consistency of the tea strength by diluting the tea remaining in the primary chamber and thus preventing it becoming too strong for subsequent consumption. In use, the pot is also suitable for brewing coffee and other similar beverages.  <Figure 1>

Patent IE-20210129-A1 (IE)
Title: A flushing apparatus for hydraulic single-acting push cylinders
Inventor: PAT BYRNE
IPC: F15B15/00
Filed: 2021-06-25
Abstract: A flushing apparatus is for cleaning internal surfaces of hydraulic cylinders. Clamps (1, 2, 3) support two parallel workpiece cylinders (12) to be flushed, with versatility as to size of the workpiece cylinders. A rig cylinder (14) having a piston (17) connected by a telescopic unit (15, 19) to a pusher (16) is mounted in-between the workpiece cylinders in use, so that the pusher can push back the extended pistons of the workpiece cylinders if they are of the single-acting or plunger type. A pump (208) pumps flushing liquid into a flushing liquid supply linked (PA, PB) to the rig cylinder and having couplers for connection to a port (12P) of each workpiece cylinder (12). A controller (213) directs pumping of flushing liquid to the workpiece cylinders (12) and to the rig cylinder in tandem so that the workpiece cylinders are actuated by the flushing liquid and the rig cylinder pusher (16) pushes the workpiece piston back to a retracted position causing flushing liquid to be directed out of the workpiece cylinder. The workpiece cylinder coupler is linked back to the reservoir (201) via a filter for return of cleaned flushing liquid to the reservoir for re-use. The reservoir liquid is cleaned off-line by an off-line filter circuit which draws liquid from an outlet (203) in the bottom of a funnel-shaped lower portion (202) of the reservoir (201).
