Title: Wet wiper, sponge or the like and method of manufacture thereof
Inventor: WIRSCHING JOCHEN
IPC: A47L13/16
Filed: 2002-07-03
Abstract: Wet wiper cloth, sponge, or the like made of a foam body of a first, relatively soft foam material, whereby the foam body (2) is penetrated by diagonally-oriented foam strips (3) or relatively harder foam material. Harder supporting surfaces for the soft foam material are thereby formed within the foam body, whereby a faster and easier squeezing of the absorbed soiled water from the foam body is achieved. The foam strips can be represented by welding zones in which individual foam body parts of soft foam material are welded together. Due to the welding process, the welded surfaces become harder than the foam material itself and the desired easier squeezing out process is achieved.

Patent CA-2399536-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FINCKE JAMES R
IPC: G01F1/44
Filed: 2000-09-21
Abstract: An improved method and system for measuring a multi-phase flow in a pressure  flow meter. An extended venturi (114) is used and pressure of the multi-phas e flow is measured at three or more positions in the venturi, which define two  or more pressure differentials in the flow conduit. The differential pressur es are then used to calculate the mass flow of the gas phases, the total mass flow, and the liquid phase. The method for determining the mass flow of the high void fraction fluid flow and the gas flow includes certain steps. The first step is calculating a gas density for the gas flow (210). The next two  steps are finding a normalized gas mass flow rate through the venturi and computing a gas mass flow rate (220). The following step is estimating the g as velocity in the venturi tube throat (230). The next step is calculating the pressure drop experienced by the gas phase due to work performed by the gas phase in accelerating the liquid phase between the upstream pressure measuri ng point (142) and the pressure measuring point in the venturi throat (240, 250 ).

Title: Non-invasive remote monitoring and reporting of digital communications systems
Inventor: EMORY THOMAS M JR
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2001-01-30
Abstract: A monitoring system for monitoring network stations or nodes for typical ale rt or maintenance situations, such as outages, in a digital communications network, such as a T1 circuit. A bridge can obtain performance and quality information about the nodes via a passive connection that taps into the digital communications network. A predetermined characteristic analyzer can collect performance and/or quality information output by the bridge. In response to this collected information, the predetermined characteristic analyzer can compare predetermined conditions to a threshold. In the event that the collected information exceeds or deviates from a threshold for a predetermined condition, the predetermined characteristic analyzer generates  a trigger that represents a reportable event. This trigger is typically report ed to a processor which, in turn, can automatically alert an individual or central monitoring station by forwarding a message regarding the reportable event via an alternate communications path, i.e., a communications path that  is not a component of the existing communications network. A wireless transceiver can accept the reportable event message from the processor and transmit that message via the alternate communications path to the network management system. Significantly, thisalternative communications path is not  competitive with the capacity of the communications network being monitored by the network management system.

Abstract: ABSTRACT To provide a device for designing a standby path that can prevent retrieval of a standby path in a network including any standby path from being failed. A current path search unit searches for a shortest route from a tart point to an end point in the network. A standby path searching,network creation unit creates a standby path searching network. For a standby path, a standby path search unit :searches for a shortest route from the start point to each of all other nodes including the end point. A current path searching network creation unit creates a network from the current path retrieved by the current path search unit and the path retrieved by the standby path search unit. The process performed by these units is repeated until the standby path search unit retrieves a route that reaches from the start point to the end point in the shortest route search.

Abstract: An inspection system detects the presence or absence of both an internal filter component (104b) and an end filter component (104a) of an assembled cigarette after tipping paper (106) has been applied. A transport (20) moves  the assembled cigarettes (12) along a high speed path of travel, and a first  inspection station (26) directs a transverse detection beam (32) through eac h cigarette in the area of the internal filter component (104b). A second inspection station (42) directs a longitudinal detection beam (46) toward th e end filter component (104a) along a path substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cigarette. Control circuitry allows an assembled cigarette to continue along the high speed path of travel when the second inspection station detects the presence of an end filter component unless beforehand the first inspection station fails to detect the presence of an internal filter component in which case the second inspection is interrupted  and the defective cigarette is removed from the high speed path of travel.</ SDOAB>
