  • Publication number: 20070246098
    Abstract: A lamp for creating a decorative visual effect from the movement of fluids contained therein. In one form, the lamp features a tank having opposing front and rear surfaces that are substantially parallel to one another, at least one light source, a plurality of immiscible fluids of varying densities contained within the tank and a housing unit for aesthetically and functionally supporting the tank. The light source illuminates the liquids within the tank and can provide sufficient radiant heat to cause the temperature of the fluids within the tank to increase such that they become less dense. As the fluids within the tank become warmer and less dense, they begin to rise in the tank at varying rates and can create a dynamic visual display. In addition to the light source, alternative heat sources can be employed to provide added heat to the immiscible fluids within the tank.

  • Patent number: 5845094
    Abstract: A support facility for installation of interprocessor unit cabling interconnecting the processor units of a multiple processor unit system in a first network, including a second system for directing the cabling interconnections of the first system and, in each processor unit of the first system, a device access controller connected through a second network to a second system, each device access controller including a memory for storing a unique identifier, and a network controller to interconnect to a network controller of at least one other processor unit. There is a selectably settable anchor bit indicator to indicate a processor unit selected as a first processor unit of the first network, a next connection indicator connected from the device access controller, and connected from the network controller, a transmit test indicator connected from the device access controller and a receive indicator connected from the device access controller.
