摘要： Various linkage assemblies are shown and described for connecting a first movable member to a second movable member of a transducer. The linkage assemblies provide for motion amplification or reduction and, when used for sound generating purposes such as hearing aids or speakers, three different schemes for compensating for amplification-induced distortion. One scheme for compensating for distortion while providing amplification is the use of a lower horizontal span segment in a closed-loop linkage assembly that is longer than a corresponding upper horizontal span segment or upper vertex. Thus, a horizontal span segment used to connect the loop to the first movable member of the armature is longer than a corresponding segment or vertex used to connect the loop to the second movable member. A second distortion compensating feature that provides amplification is found in the use of non-parallel legs used to connect the linkage loop to the housing. The legs extend from vertices that connect the upper and lower portions of the loop together and they extend inwardly toward each other in a non-parallel fashion as they extend from the vertices to the bottom panel of the housing. Finally, a third scheme involves the manipulation of the effective height of the upper and lower portions of the closed loop. By providing a lower portion of the closed loop with a greater effective height or length than the upper portion, amplification is provided with a distortion effect that can be used to counterbalance distortion effects generated by other features of the linkage assemblies. The converse of all three schemes can be used for motion or gain reduction as well.

摘要： A transactional file system wherein multiple file system operations may be performed as part of a user-level transaction. An application specifies that the operations on a file, or the file system operations of a thread, should be handled as part of a transaction, and the application is given a file handle associated with a transaction context. For file system requests associated with a transaction context, a component within the file system manages the operations consistent with transactional behavior. The component, which may be a resource manager for distributed transactions, provides data isolation by providing multiple versions of a file by tracking copies of pages that have changed, such that transactional readers do not receive changes to a file made by transactional writers, until the transactional writer commits the transaction and the reader reopens the file. The component also handles namespace logging operations in a multiple-level log that facilitates logging and recovery. Page data is also logged separate from the main log, with a unique signature that enables the log to determine whether a page was fully flushed to disk prior to a system crash. Namespace isolation is provided until a transaction commits via isolation directories, whereby until committed, a transaction sees the effects of its own operations not the operations of other transactions. Transactions over a network are also facilitated via a redirector protocol.

摘要： A transactional file system wherein multiple file system operations may be performed as a transaction. An application specifies that file system-related operations should be handled in a transaction, and is given a file handle associated with a transaction context. For file system requests associated with a transaction context, a file system component manages operations consistent with transactional behavior. The component provides data isolation by providing multiple file versions, such that transactional readers do not receive changes until after the transaction commits and the reader reopens the file. The component handles namespace logging operations in a multiple-level log that facilitates logging and recovery. Page data is logged separate from the main log, with signatures establishing whether pages were fully flushed to disk. Namespace isolation via isolation directories, allows a transaction to see its operational effects but not effects of other uncommitted transactions. Transactions over a network are facilitated.

摘要： A brush seal assembly for turbo-engines is provided for sealing off spaces on a circumferential gap which are differently acted upon by pressure, particularly between an engine stator and an engine rotor. A holding device for a bristle bundle is provided on the engine stator, from which holding device the bristle bundle is guided between circumferential webs in a sealing manner against the engine rotor and forms an axial gap in the circumferential direction with respect to one web facing the high-pressure side. The upstream one of the circumferential webs, together with the engine rotor surface, forms an axial ring gap for flow of fluid therethrough. Turbulence reducing structure is disposed upstream of the upstream web in the high pressure space and serves to reduce the turbulence in flow of air from the upstream space through the axial ring gap. This turbulence reducing structure can be in the form of a metal sponge and/or a honey comb structure.
