Abstract: A load distribution device allowing the failure recovery
process to be executed at the high performance rate and in a
short time is disclosed. A link state memory (8) retrievably
stores link state information of the connection-oriented
network. The link state database is used to
dynamically calculate an alternate route for failure recovery
when a failure notification is received. A route candidate
database (10) retrievably stores a plurality of route candidates
for each of possible endpoint nodes. A load distribution route
calculator (5) determines a route for a normally set up
connection such that a route having a relatively small load is
selected from a plurality of route candidates with a relatively
high probability.

Abstract: Conductive hard magnetic carrier particles are disclosed which contain a single-phase hexagonal crystal structure doped with at least one metal that, upon substitution of said metal into said crystal structure, produces a multi-valent ion of the formula M<sup>n+</sup>, wherein n = 4, 5, or 6. The carrier particles are useful in making developers for the development of electrostatic latent image patterns in an electrographic process. Also disclosed are methods for using such carrier particles in an electrographic process. Such carriers can display levels of conductivity such that the development efficiency, i.e., speed, of an electrographic process is improved.

Abstract: A retainer for rolling bearings 1 is made from a
phenol resin in which graphite 11 and cotton fabric chips
12 are mixed, and an inner circumferential surface 7 and
side surfaces 5, 6 other than inner circumferential
surfaces 2A of the pockets of the retainer are made of a
skin layer 8. Therefore, the strength can be ensured with
this skin layer 8, while the skin layer 8 is absent in the
inner circumferential surfaces 2A of the pockets serving as
sliding surfaces, allowing the graphite 11 and the cotton
fabric chips 12 to be exposed, so that the lubricating
performance can be ensured. Thus, a retainer for rolling
bearings, as well as a manufacturing method therefor, which
allows lubricating performance and strength to be ensured
at the same time can be provided.

Abstract: The invention concerns a closing device for a washing machine or clothes dryer
with a machine door that locks a loading opening exhibiting a closing piston (20)
mounted onto the machine door hinged to the machine housing and a lock in the
area of the loading opening, whereby the lock is provided with a latching element
that brings the closing piston into a latching closed position when the machine
door closes and releases it to an open position when the machine door is opened. 
     An automatic multi-directional adjustment of the closing piston to the latching
element when the machine door closes is achieved in that the closing piston can
be centered in the door rim (11), and that the closing piston (20) with its nose (21) is alignable
with the latching element (60) in a receiving element in the door frame around the
loading opening.

Abstract: An optical engine (15) for an SLM-type display system,
which may be either a front or rear projection system (10, 20).
The optical engine (15) provides for a high contrast,
telecentric illumination angle to the SLM (33) without
compromising brightness by vignetting due to offset in the
pupil. The resulting offset pupil is converted to a
telecentric, on-axis image by a relay path (34) between the SLM
(33) and the projection lens (37). The relay path (34) places
the image at an intermediate image plane accessible by a the
projection lens (37), which permits the projection lens (37) to
be telecentric without an offset pupil.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une vanne aseptique à membrane, dont la membrane, d'une manière générale en forme de dôme, présente un bossage central pouvant être relié à ou entraîné par un actionneur. Ladite membrane présente un bord périphérique extérieur et une partie d'âme relativement mince reliant le bossage au bord extérieur. Dans un mode de réalisation, la partie d'âme est en forme d'arc ou de dôme. Cette partie d'âme mince augmente la durée de vie de la membrane et lui permet de fonctionner longtemps sous des pressions de fluide plus élevées. L'âme mince peut être définie par deux surfaces de profil différent, l'une convexe et l'autre concave, par exemple formées par deux rayons. Le corps de la vanne présente une cavité de forme évasée, comportant un bord vertical extérieur pour permettre un nettoyage en profondeur et l'élimination des zones de piégeage. L'ensemble vanne présente des surfaces de support pour la membrane réduisant la contrainte exercée sur ladite membrane, en particulier sous des pressions de fonctionnement élevées. L'invention concerne également un mode de réalisation à évasement profond, dans lequel la cavité de la vanne est définie par une surface sphérique et de préférence hémisphérique, le diamètre de ladite cavité étant environ identique à celui de la membrane. Dans cette réalisation à évasement profond, la membrane comporte une extrémité de tige qui obture hermétiquement un des orifices de vanne radialement à l'extérieur dudit orifice. L'orifice présente un siège de vanne chanfreiné adjacent audit orifice et peut avoir la forme d'un alésage conique.

Abstract: Digital signal processing based methods and systems for receiving electrical and/or optical data signals include electrical receivers, optical receivers, parallel receivers, multi-channel receivers, timing recovery schemes, and, without limitation, equalization schemes. The present invention is implemented as a single path receiver. Alternatively, the present invention is implemented as a multi-path parallel receiver in which an analog-to-digital converter ("ADC") and/or a digital signal processor ("DSP") are implemented with parallel paths that operate at lower rates than the received data signal. In an embodiment, a parallel DSP-based receiver in accordance with the invention includes a separate timing recovery loop for each ADC path. The separate timing recovery loops can be used to compensate for timing phase errors in the clock generation circuit that are different for each path. In an embodiment, a parallel DSP-based receiver includes a separate automatic gain control (AGC) loop for each ADC path. The separate AGC loops can be used to compensate for gain errors on a path-by-path basis. In an embodiment, a parallel DSP-based receiver includes a separate offset compensation loop for each ADC path. The separate offset compensation loops can be used to independently compensate for offsets that are different for each path. In an embodiment the present invention is implemented as a multi-channel receiver that receives a plurality of data signals. In an embodiment, a receiver performs DSP-based equalization on electrical data signals and/or on electrical representations of optical data signals. Equalization is performed in single path receivers and parallel multi-path receivers, on electrical data signals and/or optical data signals. One or more of the following types of equalization are performed, alone and/or in various combinations with one another: Viterbi equalization; feed-forward equalization ("FFE"); and/or decision feed-back equalization ("DFE").
