Abstract: A group of connecting homes (20), commercial and/or not-for-profit buildings that serve to enclose a self-sustaining wildlife habitat sanctuary (23), specifically targeting the natural environment of endangered species, where appropriate. The homes (20) serve as an impenetrable cage wall (8), much like the walls of a mountain valley, preventing animals from entering or exiting the habitat, with the possible exception of migrating birds and fish. On one side of the homes there is a self-sustaining habitat (23) and on the other side of the homes there is modem civilization. The walls of the homes facing the habitat may have shatterproof glass windows (5) or a caged terrace (6), allowing inhabitants of the building to safely observe the enclosed habitat, and human access to the habitat may be restricted to observation through windows, observation from the caged terrace, or hikes through caged walking paths (14, 15, 16, 17).

Abstract: A hard disk system having a disk housing shock mounted in an environmental housing employs a device to transfer heat from the disk housing while avoiding any mechanical connection that would impose significant rigidity between the disk housing and the environment housing so as to defeat the shock mounting. In one embodiment, a Peltier effect heat pump has a cold side in contact with the disk housing and a hot side in contact with heat-conducting spring fingers contacting the environmental housing. In another embodiment, a fan is positioned in a space between the outside of the disk housing and the inside of the environmental housing to circulate air around the disk housing, while a Peltier effect heat pump moves heat to the environmental housing.

Abstract: The windbox burner has a register casing (2) with ports (3) for inflow of combustion air, secondary air pipe (35) enclosed by the register casing and having inlet ports (36) for secondary air, a ring damper (20) coaxial with the register casing and axially displaceable and having at each end an annular sealing means (21; 26) which in the closed position of the ring damper sealingly abuts a corresponding sealing arrangement (23; 22) at each axial end of the ports (3), thus preventing the combustion air from flowing through the ports (3) to the burner tip. Each of the sealing arrangements (21, 23; 22, 26) is made of a stainless and heat-resistant material, and each pair of the sealing arrangements is constituted by a plane leaf spring (23; 26) the plane of which is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the ring damper (20), and a ring (21, 22) with a convex surface on which the leaf spring abuts tangentially in the closed position of the ring damper.

Abstract: An optical receiver comprises a photodetector for converting an optical signal incident thereupon into a corresponding electrical photodetector current and a current-mode circuit coupled to the photodetector for receiving the electrical current. The current-mode circuit is characterized by a very low impedance, low capacitance input. It provides an electrical output current corresponding to the photodetector current. This electrical output current is substantially independent of the input capacitance, in view of the very low input impedance and small voltage swings of the current-mode circuit. Consequently, the photodetector may have a relatively large area, which facilitates optical alignment of transmitters and receivers when the optical receiver is used in optical interconnects. The current-mode circuit may comprise a current conveyor, conveniently followed by a current-to-voltage converter and a thresholder for providing a digital output signal in dependence upon the photodetector current.
