Abstract: An optical transmission fiber has a refractive index profile with an area of
increased index of refraction at the inner core of the fiber, an annular region
positioned radially outward from the inner core with an index of refraction exceeding
the index of the inner core, and at least a low dopant content region in a cross-sectional
region between the inner core and the annular region. A low loss cladding
layer surrounds the core region. The optical transmission fiber with this segmented
core profile provides a high effective area, low non-linearity coefficient, nonzero
dispersion, and relatively flat dispersion slope.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of managing
data packets originating from data frames, the packets
being presented to buffer (40) prior to processing.
When a packet corresponding to the start of a frame is
presented to the buffer stage, it is determined whether
the filling level of the buffer (40) exceeds a first
predetermined filling threshold (42) corresponding to a
state of congestion and, if such is the case, this
packet and all packets belonging to that same frame are
systematically discarded before the buffer. 
     The frames can e.g. originate from AAL2
connections, and each constitute a respective ATMS
adaptation layer service data unit (AAL2 SDU), in which
case the packets are common part sublayer (CPS)
packets, and the buffer (40) stores the CPS packets
before the latter are multiplexed into asynchronous
transfer mode (ATM) cells. 
     The invention also relates to an apparatus for
implementing the above method.

Abstract: A circular cylindrical bearing section for a die cutter blanket comprises two segments pivoted relative to each other at one interface therebetween and resiliently urged radially apart by spring plungers at a second interface therebetween. A blanket section is wrapped about the two segments which are resiliently urged against the overlying blanket section secured to the bearing section by a conventional channel in the bearing and mating male-female interlocking members on the blanket. An array of bearing-blanket sections on an anvil roll are axially coupled by annularly spaced mating pins and notches at opposite axially facing edges of the bearing sections. The array of bearing-blanket sections are selectively slid as a unit along the anvil roll to rapidly relocate the blanket sections to minimize local blanket wear. The interlock members of each blanket section may be misaligned axially with the respect to the interlock members of the adjacent blanket sections.

Abstract: A method for processing a search query uses the results of a search performed on a high quality, controlled database to assess the relevance of documents retrieved from a search of an uncontrolled public database having documents of highly variable quality. The method includes the steps of parsing the search query and then searching the authoritative database to generate authoritative database results. The search query is also used to search the public database, thereby generating public database results. The quality or relevance of the public database results are then quantified on the basis of the authoritative database results, thereby generating a quality index. The results from both the authoritative and the public databases are then ranked on the basis of this quality index.

Abstract: A generally circular flat housing supports a handle, a pivotable lever, and a base portion. At the circular portion of the housing, a ring of character segments each having a visually depicted character thereon are supported. A pointer is rotatably supportable upon the housing and is movable to point to a selected one of the characters. A character image is supported on a circular plate at the center of the housing and includes apparatus for moving face components to simulate the speaking action of the image character. An electronic sound module of conventional design is supported within the interior of the housing and is provided with speech or phrase selections by a rotating multiple segment contact pad set together with a pair of contact brushes. When the pivotally mounted handle is pulled down, a gear drive mechanism is configured for operation and energy is stored in a return spring. When the handle is released, the energy within the stored spring draws the handle upwardly in a slow travel which further drives the gear mechanism for animating the character face and which triggers the production of sound from the sound module.
