Title: Adaptive parallel data clustering when loading a data structure containing data clustered along one or more dimensions
Inventor: LAU LEO TAT MAN
IPC: G06F16/22
Filed: 2002-12-23
Abstract: Loading input data into a multi-dimensional clustering (MDC) table or other structure containing data clustered along one or more dimensions entails assembling blocks of data in a partial block cache in which each partial block is associated with a distinc t logical cell. A minimum threshold number of partial blocks may be maintained. Partial blocks may be spilled from the partial block cache to make room for new logical cells. Last partia l pages of spilled partial blocks may be stored in a partial page cache to limit I/O if the cel l associated with a spilled block is encountered later in the input data stream. Buffers may be reassign ed from the partial block cache to the partial page cache if the latter is filled. Parallelism m ay be employed for efficiency during sorting of input data subsets and during storage of blocks to secondary storage.
Patent CA-2416058-A1 (CA)
Title: Amplitude-leveled wide-range source-coupled oscillator
Inventor: DAVENPORT WILLIAM H
IPC: H03B5/12
Filed: 2001-11-28
Abstract: A source-coupled oscillator contains two main MESFETs which supply current to respective loads and which have sources connected through a capacitor. Each of the main MESFETs is supplied with a constant current which can be adjusted to vary the frequency of the oscillator. The output signals are derived from the voltage across the loads. The oscillator also contains two differential pairs of MESFETs that change state as the main MESFETs are turned on and off and are connected so as to switch current into one or the other of the loads. Each of the differential pairs is supplied with a constant current. The currents supplied by the differential pairs act as compensating currents and are adjusted so that when the currents through the two main MESFETs are changed to vary the frequency of the oscillator, the total current through the loads remains constant. In this manner, the amplitude of the output signal can be maintained at a substantially constant level as the frequency of the oscillator is adjusted through a wide range.

Abstract: An automatic lathe bar magazine comprises a feed channel (11) for a bar to the lathe chuck and a powered bar pusher (15) grasping with a head collet (17) the tail of a bar in the channel to cause it to run therein. The bar pusher (15) is made telescopic to have an outermost part (18) running with reduced side play in the channel (11) acting as a guide therefor and an internal part (16) with smaller diameter bearing at its head said collet (17) and growing longer on command from the outermost part to protrude from the magazine and enter the lathe. In this manner the bar being machined does not touch the channel and this greatly reduces vibrations and noise produced by the high speed rotation of the bar.
