Abstract: The method produces the route information (ri) in an ATM communication network including relay nodes (A.1..6,B.1..5,C.1..4). Information is provided when a connection is made from a start node (A.1) to a target node (A.6). Partial networks (TA,TB,TC) are associated with each node. These are networked together by connection lines (pa1..6,pb1..8,pc1..6) and are unequivocally combined according to an increasing hierarchical order to partial networks (TAB) of a higher order which, in turn are combined with partial networks of the next higher order. All topological information on connection lines in the branches of the network hierarchy for route information generation in the increasing hierarchy direction are taken into consideration. In addition, advantageous route loops via one or more partial networks of the same hierarchical level with different exit and re-entrant nodes are taken into consideration such that from the nodes forming the route information, even connection lines in the decreasing hierarchical direction are included.

Abstract: A method is provided for performing catalytic or non-catalytic processes which uses oxygen supplied from the permeate side of a mixed oxygen ion and electron conducting membrane by means of a sweep gas at an elevated temperature. The sweep gas is formed by burning fuel in a sweep gas preheater. The sweep gas containing oxygen picked up from the membrane is reacted with a hydrocarbon fuel in a catalytic reactor to form a syngas containing nitrogen and hydrogen. The nitrogen and hydrogen containing syngas is worked up into ammonia; the ammonia is burned in an ammonia burner to produce a nitrogen oxides containing gas, and the nitrogen oxides containing gas is used in the production of nitric acid. The process is able to directly transfer the oxygen containing sweep gas to the catalytic reactor, without any intermediate cooling; recompression and reheating.

Abstract: Radio frequencies of a base station in a cellular network are chosen adaptively so that when choosing the uplink frequency the base station measure at all frequencies or at some frequencies of the reception band used in the system what is the total power of the signal received at the frequency in question. The frequency at which the lowest power is received is chosen as uplink frequency. When choosing the downlink frequency, a tuning signal is transmitted at all frequencies or at some frequencies of the transmission band. Mobiles located in areas of other cells and operating at the same frequency experience the effect of the tuning signal as an interference. The base station is tuned to use that downlink frequency at which the interference caused by itself to other traffic is sufficiently low.

Abstract: The present invention incooperates a method and an apparatus for obtaining three-dimensional ultrasound, especially echographic images that allows the three-dimensional reconstruction of anatomic structures. Since prior art techniques teach time-consuming procedures the present invention focuses on a rapid 3-D acquisition of dynamic and quantitative characteristics of human tissues to facilitate the diagnosis of unknown and complex pathology. An object (1), like the heart of a human being is scanned by two-dimensional image scanning means (4) to acquire cross-sectional images (7). The image scanning means (4) are moved in predetermined increments for a predetermined number of times, while scanning said object (1). After the digitalization and recording of said cross-sectional images (7), together with their corresponding positions, said cross-sectional images (7) are transformed into a three-dimensional data set by detecting the contours (14) of said object (1) within said cross-sectional images (7) and by creating a wireframe volume model (22) which represents the outer surface of said object (1) in a three-dimensional manner. Such wireframe volume model (22) is created by linking predefined contour points (19) or 3-D coordinates of said object (1) throughout e.g. an interpolation algorithm. For obtaining suitable wire-frame models (22), a full 3-D acquisition of the object (1) is obsolete by achieving at the same time good dynamic and quantitative information of said object (1) in a very short time. <IMAGE>
