Patent CA-2305875-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CORSTON SIMON
IPC: G06F17/27
Filed: 1998-10-15
Abstract: The present invention is directed to recognizing a discourse structure of a body of text. In a preferred embodiment, a discourse structure recognition facility utilizes syntactic information associated with the body of text to generate a discourse structure tree that characterizes the discourse structure of the body of text. The facility first identifies in the body of text a number of clauses. The facility then determines, for each distinct pair of clauses, which of a number of possible discourse relations should be hypothesized between the pair of clauses, based on the syntactic structure and semantic of the body of text relative to the pair of clauses. The facility then applies the hypothesized relations to the clauses in order to produce a discourse structure tree characterizing the discourse structure of the body of text. In certain embodiments, the facility further generates from the produced discourse structure tree a synopsis of the body of text reflecting the primary goals pursued by its author.

Title: Wide frequency-range delay-locked loop circuit
Inventor: JEONG DEOG-KYOON
IPC: H03L7/08
Filed: 2000-05-26
Abstract: A delay-locked loop (DLL), including frequency detection logic and a phase detector, is described having an operating range as wide as a conventional charge pump phase locked loop. The frequency detector logic counts the number of rising edges of the multi-phase clocks generated from a reference clock during one period of the reference clock. A loop filter is used to adjust the frequency of each multi-phase clock until frequency lock is obtained by comparing the number of rising edges.  After frequency lock, phase detection logic is used to finely tune out the remaining phase error.

A valve actuator (20, 130, 220) is provided which includes a gas-generating cartridge unit (22, 22a, 22b, 222) which, upon actuation, generates a charge of high pressure subsonic gas for shifting the gate member (18, 224) at a velocity of about 0.2 to about 0.33 in./msec. Preferably, the actuator includes a piston housing (56, 56a, 56b, 256) having a piston (72, 72a, 72b, 272) therein with a piston rod (71, 71a, 71b, 271) coupled between the piston (72, 72a, 72b, 272) and the gate member (18, 224). In the valve open position, the piston (72, 72a, 72b, 272) is adjacent the cartridge unit (22, 22a, 22b, 222) and is oriented so that the pressurized gas from the cartridge unit (22, 22a, 22b, 222) shifts the piston (72, 72a, 72b, 272) thereby closing the valve (10, 10a, 10b, 124, 146, 212). A dampener unit (99, 299) is provided in an association with the gate member (18, 224) to effect predetermined, controlled deceleration thereof as the gate member approaches its fully actuated position.
