Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a gasket which can be easily formed, can be highly compressed with a low reaction force, and is highly reliable. A gasket consisting of a rubber-like elastic material is mounted in a mounting groove formed in one of two mutually opposing members and is pinched between the one member and the other member so as to be in pressure-contact with both the members. The gasket has: a body section inserted into the mounting groove; one support protrusion which is provided on the side of the body section which faces the bottom of the mounting groove, is located on one end side of the body section in the width direction thereof, and is in contact with the bottom; and a lip protrusion provided on the side of the body section which faces the other member and having a tip located at substantially the center of the body section in the width direction thereof. Before the gasket is mounted, a gap is present between the bottom and the other end side of the body section in the width direction thereof, and the presence of the gap enables, when mounting the gasket, the body section to be displaced so as to tilt to the gap side about the one support protrusion as the fulcrum.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for generating a tunnel forwarding entry and a network device. An active master node in a virtual cluster network element VNE generates, according to a preconfigured tunnel service, tunnel service information with the VNE being a single network element; the active master node determines multiple nodes through which a tunnel that corresponds to the tunnel service information passes in the VNE, and node statuses of the multiple nodes through which the tunnel passes in the VNE; and local tunnel forwarding entries are generated, according to the tunnel service information and the node statuses of the multiple nodes through which the tunnel passes in the VNE, for the multiple nodes through which the tunnel passes in the VNE. In this method, a virtual cluster network element (VNE) is enabled to support a tunnel function, and in addition, the VNE that includes multiple physical nodes functions as only one device for other devices, thereby simplifying a network structure and facilitating network management.

Abstract: The method involves generating an electric starting pulse based on a magnetic field at a permanent magnet (9). A reply pulse is generated at a measuring section (7) at an end of a detector (3), and duration between the starting and reply pulses is calculated. Another reply pulse is generated within a measuring cycle initiated by the starting pulse. Another time duration taken by the reply pulse to reflect from a reflection device (5) to the magnet is determined. A position of the magnet is detected as a correct position if sum of the durations corresponds to doubled length of the section. An independent claim is also included for a position determining device.

Abstract: The assembly has a cable whose tension is obtained by displacement along a bar-shaped toothed rack (20) of a housing (18). The housing has a pinion crank system to cooperate with the rack that is adjustable in slope at articulation axes. A pinion is moved along the axes under the action of a crank (32) to regulate the tension. A braking unit prevents displacement of the housing along the rack by rotational blocking of the pinion. The unit has a rocker operating directly on the pinion and a pawl, so that the pawl is actuated to remove the pinion only when the rocker is in a released position.

Abstract: A soil and/or moisture resistant secure document and a method for producing such a secure document, are provided. The inventive method preferably employs a size press or other similar device to force a soil and/or moisture resistant formulation into the pores of the substrate and to remove excess formulation from opposing surfaces thereof. Soil and/or moisture resistant formulations when applied this way instead of by way of standard coating techniques do not obscure optically variable effects generated by non-porous OVDs that may be employed on or within these secure documents. In addition, thin layers of fibers (e.g., papermaking fibers) overlying and thus embedding portions of security devices in windowed secure documents that have been rendered soil and/or moisture resistant in accordance with this invention demonstrate increased durability.

Abstract: Efficient channel switching procedures are provided in a mobile communications system. A first channel is established to support a connection through a radio access network to a mobile station. Subsequently, if the first channel is no longer used to support that connection, a portion of that first channel is nevertheless maintained for a period of time. That way, if the first channel is again needed to support the connection to the mobile station, the maintained portion of the first channel is simply reactivated thereby reducing channel switching costs and delays associated with channel set-up and release operations. The portion of the first channel that is maintained may be associated with resources within the radio access network. Another portion of the first channel, corresponding for example to a radio channel resource supporting the connection between the radio access network and the mobile station, may be released after the first channel is no longer being used to support the connection in order to make that radio channel resource available for other mobile connections. In one example embodiment, the first channel corresponds to a dedicated type of channel that is reserved for the connection with the mobile station, and the connection is switched to a second type of channel corresponding to a common channel that is not reserved for a particular mobile station, i.e., it is shared by plural mobile stations. In another example embodiment, the first channel is one of plural channels established between the mobile station and the radio access network in accordance with a handover operation. The invention allows the connection to be quickly and efficiently switched back from the common channel to the dedicated channel (the first example embodiment) and to a cell which previously supported the connection (in the second example embodiment).
