Abstract: A carton for co-packaging two distinct food substances in two distinct cavities within the carton. The carton is formed of a single blank of paperboard creased, folded and glued to form one major cavity and one minor cavity, said minor cavity being an integral discrete compartment.

Abstract: A portion of the global memory of a multiprocessing computer system is allocated to each node, called local memory space. Data from a remote node may be copies to local memory space of a node such that accesses to the data may be performed locally rather than globally. The copies data is referred to as a shadow page. The global address of the data is translated to a local physical address for the node to which the data is copied. To reduce the size of the translation tables for converting between global addresses and local physical addresses, the page to which shadow copies may be stored and which global addresses may be converted to local physical addresses may be restricted. Multiple page of local memory space may be allocated to one entry of a local physical address to global address (LPA2GA) table. When a page is allocated to store shadow pages, an entry in the LPA2GA table associated with that page is marked as unavailable.

Abstract: A convertible shoe box and display platform has assembled and disassembled configurations for storing and displaying a pair of shoes. Such box assembly includes a first, container portion, a second, lid portion adapted to cover the container portion, and thereby enclose the pair of shoes within the assembled box, and tabs for positioning the disassembled box as a display platform with the pair of shoes remaining in the container portion. In such a manner, the pair of shoes is effectively displayed for sale.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a carton for co-packaging two distinct food substances, in two distinct cavities. This is accomplished by means of a single blank of paperboard which is creased, folded and glued so as to form one major cavity and one minor cavity, said minor cavity being an integral discrete compartment.

Abstract: A system for associating an audit history with a database form is disclosed. In one embodiment of the present invention, a database document is displayed on a first portion of a display on network client computer. An audit history is displayed on a second portion of the display. The audit history contains information describing the transmission history of the document and any action taken with regard to the document. The audit history is updated automatically as the document is transmitted from one user to another user in the network.

Abstract: An HVAC system is assigned a network identification for subsequent use within a communication network upon receipt of a formatted signal containing the network identification. The HVAC system stores the network identification in nonvolatile memory. The HVAC system also preferably stores a verification image of the communicated network identification so that any reading back of the network identification can be validated through comparison with the stored verification image.

Abstract: HVAC control information is stored in a memory associated with a programmable processor in such a manner as to be recallable in a potentially high electrical noise environment. The HVAC control information is stored along with corresponding verification images in particular memory locations. The verification images for at least some of the HVAC control information have unique mathematical relationships with respect to the stored pieces of HVAC control information.

Abstract: HVAC control information is written in a particular manner to a memory associated with a programmable processor. The processor generates verification images of the information and stores the same along with the information in addressable memory locations. The stored information and its corresponding verification images is read back for verification as to having been correctly stored in addressable memory locations. A rewriting and rereading of the information and the respective verification images can occur up to a predetermined number of times if necessary to verify that the information and respective verification images have been correctly stored.

Abstract: An electronically controlled thermostat has an emergency power configuration which only provides long term emergency power to a real time clock. All other components of the thermostat function only for a limited period of time following a power outage. Emergency power to the other components is monitored during power outage with appropriate action being taken to assure that control information has been stored in nonvolatile memory before emergency power deteriorates to a critical level.

Abstract: A pneumatically operated and controlled pump which is capable of maintaining its efficiency and reliability in various environments. The pump head contains a spool and sleeve valve assembly operated in response to a signal pressure. The assembly controls the cycling of the pump through a pumping phase and a pump filling phase. A timing switch on the surface controls the occurrence of the signal pressure and thus the pump cycles, at preset intervals thus eliminating any lag time between the cycles and the need for operator estimations of the cycle times. This results in a virtually closed system and self contained unit.

Abstract: Apparatus, for use in conjunction with a digital plotter incorporating controlled multiple markers to create displays, for determining the position of the markers along axes of movement, comprises a detector assembly disposed at a fixed axial position relative to the plotter, and a driver for moving a marker relative to the detector assembly. The detector assembly includes means for detecting movement of the marker relative thereto and producing signals indicative of the movement. A processor interprets the signals for determining an axial position of the marker and optionally detects and compensates for a variation in the axial position of a current marker relative to the axial position of a prior marker.
