Title: Network fault analysis tool
Inventor: MCELHANEY ROBERT E JR
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2001-02-02
Granted: 2010-05-18
Abstract: A testing tool for Internet Service Provider (ISP) network engineers which is used to diagnose network faults, characterize network performance and evaluate new equipment and software releases. The tool can be used to schedule and run proactive tests to identify network problems before subscribers are affected.  Further, the tool can be used to provide testing on demand to quickly isolate the root cause of a problem identified by the tool or by network management systems or subscribers. The tool is topology independent and thus does not have to be reconfigured as the network changes.  The tool only sends traffic as directed by the network engineer and thus does not generate undesirable heavy network traffic loads, unless such a heavy network loads are desired by the network engineer.

Granted: 2012-06-12
Abstract: A meter includes an EEPROM storing a scaling factor; a divider providing a first analog voltage from an electrical system; an analog to digital converter (ADC) converting the first analog voltage to a first digital value; and a processor. The processor includes a first routine calculating the scaling factor; an input circuit for the first routine, and a second routine retrieving the scaling factor from the EEPROM and adding the scaling factor to the first digital value to provide a sum for a display. The first routine calculates the scaling factor by subtracting a second digital value from a larger third digital value, which represents a nominal voltage value. The second digital value is converted by the ADC from a second analog voltage from the divider, that receives a larger third analog voltage representing the nominal voltage value.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the improvement of current efficiency in electrolysis. According to the method, a theoretical cell voltage is first calculated, which is compared with the measured voltage. The cumulative difference between the theoretical and measured cell voltage is monitored constantly and when this difference is proportioned to the current efficiency, information on the status of the process can be obtained continually. A decrease in current efficiency is a clear indicator of short circuits between the electrodes, and by means of the method according to the invention, it is possible to concentrate the short circuit removal work onto the correct cell groups, from the point of view of the current efficiency of the electrolysis.
