IPC: B23K9/095
Filed: 2002-04-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for assessing start-of-weld and steady state
welding stability in pulsed are consumable electrode gas-shielded welding. According to
the present welding stability assessment apparatus, in order to obtain a pass/fail decision
on start-of-weld welding stability for pulsed are welding, an irregularity value is
computed by a computer means, based on detected values from a detector means; and a
pass/fail decision is made by an assessment means, thus making it possible to perform
accurate assessment of start-of-weld welding stability in pulsed-are welding.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a digital mobile phone of a type using a subscriber
identification module, the improvement being that there is an externally
attached holder for at least two subscriber identification modules so that either
can be readily selected by a switch for use in the same phone. There are also
described flexible circuits that are used to connect the electrical contacts used
conventionally for reading a subscriber identification module by the phone
inside the phone that are able to slip through gaps that are naturally occurring
between protective covers of the phone because of necessary manufacturing
tolerances so that the external subscriber identification modules can be
connected without prejudicing manufacturers warranties on any phone.

Filed: 2002-06-25
Abstract: In surgery, mesh-shaped implants, so-called meshes, are used for supporting damaged body parts that are to be closed. These usually consist of multifilament polymers, more specifically of polyester and polypropylene. Post-surgery complications are frequent, though. The implant also becomes encapsulated as a foreign body within the tissue. In order to enhance the tolerability of a used implant it is proposed that the implant comprises monofilament threads of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) or of a PVDF derivative.

Abstract: Un serveur SIP dans une infrastructure basée sur IP supportant des téléphones sans fil détermine si, sur la base de l'adresse de destination dans une demande d'appel, l'appel est un appel au sein d'un système ou entre systèmes. Pour les appels au sein d'un système, le serveur SIP achemine les paquets voix sur IP directement entre les dispositifs d'origine et de destination. Toutefois, pour les appels entre systèmes, et en particulier pour les appels cryptés, au lieu d'acheminer les paquets voix sur IP par l'Internet public, le serveur SIP établit un appel par commutation de circuit à l'aide d'une batterie de modems locale connectée au RTPC. De cette manière, la qualité de service est assurée et le temps de latence réduit.

draft ratio and then spinning the fibers using a spinning member composed of a
nozzle member having a nozzle hole, first, before yarn discharging spinning, the
amount of fibers supplied to the spinning member per unit time in a normal

the yarn discharging spinning, the latter amount being different from the former
amount, and after the yarn discharging spinning has ended, the changed amount
of fibers supplied is returned to the amount of fibers supplied in the normal
spinning state.

Abstract: In a method of producing a photonic crystal fibre, a preform
that includes holes is formed and the preform is
drawn into a fibre. The method comprises the step of
applying a pressure differential to certain of the holes to
control changes in the fibre structure during the draw. 
     A stack of a regular array of capillaries (300) are placed inside a
thick-walled silica glass tube (310). The silica glass tube (310) forms
part of the fibre after drawing, serving as a jacket to provide
mechanical strength. During the drawing process the inside of the tube
(310) is evacuated by sealing it within an evacuatable structure while
the inside of some or all of the capillaries (300) are kept at a
different and higher pressure.

Abstract: Cells i corresponding to pixels are once
initialized into a non-excitation state, to calculate
coupling weights W ik  between the eight cells k adjacent
to the cells i, thereby determining leader cells (self-excitable
cells candidate) p i =1 based on calculation
results (a). Next, one leader cell yet to be excited
is selected as a self-excitable cell (b). The selected
self-excitable cell is put into the excitation state by
self-excitation processing (c), the excitable cells are
selected by excitable cell detection processing based
on the coupling weights between the adjacent cells (d),
and the selected cells are put into the excitation
state by excitation as dependent processing (e). These
operations are repeated until no excitable cell is
detected any more and, if there no excitable cell is
detected any more, inhibition processing is performed
(f), thereby completing image segmentation of one
region. These operations are repeated until there is
no non-excited and non-inhibited leader cell any more,
thereby pinpointing regions belonging to the same
category from an input image and identifying them as
an image segmentation regions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a wavelength division multiplexing passive
optical network (WDM PON) system in which an optical signal
outputted from a central office is injected into a Fabry-Perot
laser diode (F-P LD) as the light source of an optical network
unit, so that the output wavelength of the optical network unit
is injection-locked at the same wavelength as that of the
optical signal outputted from the central office, thereby
enabling the optical network unit to output an optical signal
having the same wavelength as that of the optical signal
outputted from the central office. In accordance with this
system, it is possible to transmit and receive forward and
backward data at the same wavelength by the unit of channels.
Since inexpensive F-P LDs are used as respective light sources
of the central office and optical network units, it is possible
to efficiently and economically implement a WDM PON system.
