Title: Dynamic multi-level cache manager
Inventor: WONG FRANKIE CHIBUN
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2002-06-19
Granted: 2010-05-18
Abstract: A method of caching data in a multi-processor computing environment, involves the steps of receiving from one of a plurality of network clients a request for a data item; establishing a private cache uniquely associating with the network client; associating the private cache with a shared cache, the shared cache including the requested data item and being associated with a number of the network clients; and updating the private cache with the requested data item. In one aspect, the shared cache includes a subset of a store of dynamically- variable data, and the method also involves storing in the shared cache a data update received from one of the network clients; receiving from another of the network clients a request for an item of the variable data; and updating the private cache of the one network client with the update data and the requested data item.

La couche réactive contient au moins une enzyme pour la production d'un signal électrochimique en présence de l'analyte. La cavité a un volume inférieur à 1,5 µl, de sorte que le capteur fournisse une mesure présentant une corrélation avec la quantité d'analyte sur une période inférieure ou égale à dix secondes. Le capteur est utilisé en combinaison avec un compteur pour la détection de l'analyte dans un échantillon liquide. Un compteur approprié est équipé d'un circuit de temporisation permettant de contrôler la mesure de courant associée à l'analyte dans l'échantillon suite à la détection de l'application de l'échantillon sur une bandelette de test introduite dans le compteur. Ce circuit déclenche la mesure du courant 15 secondes ou moins après la détection de l'application de l'échantillon.

Abstract: A thermostat is operative to note the current temperature at time of entering into a setback of one or more previously established setpoints. The thermostat is also operative to note any newly defined setpoints. The thermostat also notes whether the setback is to occur in a heating or cooling mode of operation. The thermostat maintains a record of the aforementioned entry conditions as well as the amount of tune the thermostat participates in a requested setback. The thermostat also preferably notes one or more setpoints and sensed temperature occurring at the end of an implemented setback as well as the ending heating or cooling mode of operation. A record of temperature conditions, mode of operation and elapsed time for each setback is stored for retrieval by a remotely located entity in communication with the thermostat. This entity is usually an energy provider.  This record is available for retrieval at any time, including a time when the thermostat is presently implementing a setback.

Title: Mass spectrometer
Inventor: BATEMAN ROBERT HAROLD
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2003-08-08
Granted: 2012-04-17
Abstract: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising at least a first and second ion trap T1,T2 which are arranged in series. A relatively high AC or RF voltage is applied to the electrodes forming the first ion trap T1 in order to improve the trapping of energetic or high mass to charge ratio ions. The relatively high AC or RF voltage applied to the first ion trap T1 also has the effect of raising the low mass cut-off of the first ion trap. The second ion trap T2 arranged downstream of the first ion trap T1 is arranged to have a lower low mass cut-off than the first ion trap T1, and hence ions which are not trapped in the first ion trap T1 are trapped in the second ion trap T2.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for lubricating rolls, in particular for lubricating a rolling nip in rolling stands for rolled strips. According to the invention, said lubrication takes place using an oil-in-water dispersion whilst maintaining both a predetermined blend characteristic and a volumetric flow of the dispersion. The dispersion is prepared in the form of a homogeneous blend in a mixer (1) using adjustable quantities of water and oil.  The dispersion is supplied to various spray zones (Zi) for a distribution (Bi) that is variable in width. Said method for roll lubrication can be improved by the allocation of at least one row of nozzles (Di) to each spray zone (Zi), which has a corresponding spray range width (Bi), each nozzle being controlled by at least one relay valve (Si).
