  • Data compression and decompression using memory spaces of more than one size
    Patent number: 5627995
    Abstract: A method for storing data in a memory, including compressing fixed-sized pages of data, and storing the compressed pages into available smaller memory spaces on a medium if the compressed page will fit into such space, or storing the compressed pages onto available larger memory spaces on the medium, if the compressed page will not fit into the smaller space.

  • Velocity measurement system
    Patent number: 5226328
    Abstract: A sonic-type fluid flow measuring system wherein reflections or echoes of a burst 103 of ultrasonic energy from an ultrasonic acoustic emitter 9a are sensed and typically comprise a number of frequencies representative of a number of discrete velocities of flow in a volume of fluid. A receiver transducer 13a is gated to receive echoes from a selected volume of fluid 104 a selected distance from transducer 13a. Thereafter, this time domain signal sample is converted to a frequency domain sample whereby the presence and magnitude of each frequency component, or velocity component, is isolated, this being typically done by what is known as a Fast Fourier Transform unit 42a, obtaining a frequency domain waveform representative of average flow velocity.
