Abstract: The present invention provides a method for operating a network
system and a network system operated correspondingly for
improving network resource reservations and allocations. Information
included in signaling messages of a given protocol,
like the resource reservation protocol (RSVP), which do not
provide information about the actual communications status in
the network. According to the invention, information concerning
the communications/service quality of the network are collected
from allover the network. In particular, such information
is collected from all network domains and their routers,
respectively. The collected information is communicated in the
network by extending the signaling messages obtained on the
basis of the given protocol. Utilizing the collected information,
service quality negotiations between a server and its
client are improved. This improvement can be achieved for network
systems comprising a network domain serving a single client,
and multicasting networks. Furthermore, the present invention
provides a solution for pre-reservation of network resources
which avoids an unnecessary reservation of network resources
and a waste of network resources for subsequent resource
allocations.

Abstract: This invention relates to a tensioning and drawing-back
device provided for keeping tension and if necessary
drawing back warp yarns (2) led from a bobbin (1) to a
weaving machine. It comprises a supporting body (6) with a
curved friction surface in order to support the warp yarn
(2) between the bobbin (1) and the weaving machine, and a
first (7) and a second tensioning element (8) which exert a
tensile force on the warp yarn (2) respectively in front of
and behind the curved friction surface (6). 
The tensioning elements (7), (8) can be suspended from the
warp yarn (2) and for example only through their own
weight exert this tensile force. 
This device works very well and can draw back the warp
yarn (2) out of the weaving area better than the known
devices. Furthermore this device can be made with simple
means and for a relatively low price. The replacement of a
bobbin (1) can furthermore also occur without interruption
or disturbance of the weaving process.

Abstract: A satellite telephone system for communication between a fixed network (4) and a
moveable network (1) on board a vehicle, has means for suspending operation of the
moveable network, for example when the moveable network could interfere with a
fixed network, during safety-critical stages of a flight, or to enforce "quiet" periods
on board. When operation of the moveable network (1) is suspended a control signal
is transmitted to the fixed network (4), causing the fixed network (4) to intercept
calls directed to the moveable network, thereby avoiding unnecessary signal traffic
over the satellite link (3, 6, 13). The moveable network may be a wireless network
(Figures 1, 2), or a wired network (Figure 4).

Abstract: An apparatus for gating an optical signal comprising: an input stage (70, 72, 74, 62,
64) arranged to receive and combine first and second optical control signals (ON,
OFF) of first and second wavelengths, and an optical signal (SIGNAL IN) to be gated
of a third wavelength. A gain medium (66) is arranged to receive the signals SIGNAL
IN, ON and OFF from the input stage. The gain medium (e.g. YAG) comprises a
transition metal dopant (e.g. Cr 4+ ) that has an excited state populatable by the first
control signal and depopulatable by the second control signal to allow selective
amplification of the optical signal to be gated by stimulated emission from the excited
state responsive to the control signals. The amplification process has a very fast
switch-on time that is several orders of magnitude faster than in prior art devices
based on the rare earth dopant Er 3+ . This allows the apparatus to be used for high-speed
optical switching applications, such as routing of data packets in an optical
packet switching network. After transmission of the optical signals through the gain
medium, an output stage comprising a wavelength selective filter (68) is used to reject
the control signals (ON, OFF) but transmit the optical signal for output (SIGNAL
OUT) from the apparatus.
