Title: Responsive routing control
Inventor: SABOURIN DONALD JOHN
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1996-04-19
Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling routing within a communication system (10) modifies (258) routing tables (220,230,232,234,236) located within nodes (150) so that received data packets are not returned directly to their sending nodes. In response to detection (352) of a failed link, a node (150) modifies (354) its routing tables (220,230,232,234,236) to avoid the failed link. After notification (402) of the failed link, a control facility (28) responds by creating (404) commands that compensate for the failed link. The control facility (28) sends (404) the commands to at least the node (150) that detected the failed link. If not already performed by the control facility (28), the node (150) then modifies (364,366) its routing tables (220,230,232,234,236) so that data packets are not returned to their sending nodes, and to avoid the failed link.

IPC: G01G23/36
Abstract: 971,122. Weighing apparatus. R. VOGEL, [trading as VOGEL & HALKE]. Feb. 1, 1962 [Feb. 8, 1961], No. 3909/62. Heading G1W. [Also in Division G3] A programming card 1, Fig. 1, has weighted or profiled edges 2, 3 and bears a circular scale 4 having an inner zone 5 and an outer zone 6 wherein apertures 7-10 are punched indicative of desired quantities to be weighed. The apertures are punched in alternate zones to permit closer spacing of the desired quantity indications since the electrical control circuit reads the leading edge of an aperture. The card also bears two rows of programme apertures 14, 15 which indicate the components of a mixture to be weighed. A control aperture 16 is positioned at the zero point of the balance and controls the resetting of the electrical control circuit. A casing 20, Fig. 2, supports a scale housing 17 in which a balance scale 18 and an indicator 19 are arranged. The casing also supports a unit 21 containing the control circuit. On the window of the scale housing is mounted a cassette 22 for receiving the punched card 1. The cassette is mounted as shown so that the weighted card is automatically aligned. Additionally, permanent magnets may be provided in the region of the abutment strips 23, 24. A hand-lever 25 projecting from the cassette actuates a device, not shown, for sensing the programme apertures in the punched card. In a modification, the balance indicator position is transferred by an electric shaft to a remote indicator with associated cassette. The cassette 22, Fig. 6, not shown, is partly enclosed by a transparent plastic cover protecting the open end of a sheet-metal punched card holder, slotted in the regions of the apertures. The cassette is mounted facing an annular lamp and photo-diodes, for the inner and outer zones of apertures, which are positioned by the indicator. The programme apertures are sensed by contact pins of a sensing bridge actuated by the lever 25. When a punched card is inserted in the holder and the sensing bridge moved into its operative position by the lever 25 a starting key is connected to a supply provided that the card has been inserted correctly as sensed by a contact finger projecting through the control aperture in the card. Quantities measured by the weighing mechanism 145, Fig. 11, are transmitted by a connection 150 to an indicating device 146, which includes the indicator unit and the punched card. The pulses emitted by photo-diodes on the indicator are supplied via the connection 151 to the control arrangement 148 which sequentially actuates the mechanism 145 through a connection 149 and a dispensing control device 153 through a connection 152.

Title: IC testing method and IC testing device using the same
Inventor: HASHIMOTO YOSHIHIRO
IPC: G01R31/30
Filed: 1997-11-20
Abstract: An IC testing device which performs a function test and a DC test. A high-resistance resistor is connected to the output side of a DC testing device so that a function testing device can operate normally even when the DC testing device is connected to the function testing device. Thus a function test and a DC test are conducted in parallel by forcedly performing the DC test during the execution of the function test, and the switching time of a switch is not added to the testing time by executing time-consuming controls on the DC testing device such as the switching of the switch during the function test, thereby shortening the testing time.

Title: Process and sensor for measuring electric voltages and/or electric field intensities
Inventor: PEIER DIRK
IPC: G01R15/24
Filed: 1993-02-20
Abstract: A process for measuring electric voltages and/or electric fields by the use of a crystal with an electro-optical (Pockels) effect. To this end, in a direction transverse to the direction of propagation (y direction) of a light wave polarized in the z direction, an electric field intensity gradient is generated in the crystal in the direction from which results a corresponding gradient in the refractive index n of the crystal. This produces a deflection of the light wave in the crystal which depends upon the field intensity and on emergence, it is used as a measure for the voltage of field intensity. A suitable sensor for this purpose is also described.
