Granted: 2002-08-13
Abstract: An device, called a facilities management platform (FMP) connects current digital and analog carrier networks and packet switched networks of interexchange carriers with high speed multiple access subscriber links implemented over twisted pair lines. The subscriber line is terminated by an access module containing one or more modems. In preferred embodiments, the modems are high-speed digital tethered virtual radio channel or xDSL modems. The FMP interface applies and receives signaling and voice through a digital loop carrier (DLC) via a multiplexer connected directly to the DLC backplane. The multiplexer is controlled by a controller of an access module. It translates data from the subscriber link to the form compatible with the digital backplane to create the appearance of one or more line cards. The FMP also may contain a sound generator to allow it to handle calls through an analog carrier network. The FMP, through the same access module transmits data to and from the modems directly through connected digital networks, such as ATM or SONNET, of an interexchange carrier. Through this interface, different network companies can offer competing products through different network  all seamlessly connected through a high speed subscriber line.

Abstract: Iron oxide agglomerates incorporated with the carbonaceous material having a particle size within a range of about 10 to 30 mm are prepared upon production of reduced iron agglomerates. Then, the iron oxide agglomerates incorporated with the carbonaceous material were laid thinly at a laying density of less than 1.4 kg/m2/mm or lower on a hearth of a moving hearth furnace. Subsequently, the iron oxide agglomerates are heated rapidly such that the surface temperature of the iron oxide agglomerates reaches 1200°C or higher within one-thud of the retention period of time of the iron oxide agglomerates in the moving hearth furnace. Then, the iron oxide agglomerates are reduced till the metallization ratio thereof reaches 85% or higher to form reduced iron agglomerates and then the reduced iron agglomerates are discharged out of the moving hearth furnace. With the procedures, reduced iron agglomerates of a high average quality can be obtained at a high productivity.

Granted: 2006-12-05
Abstract: An apparatus simultaneously flicker filters and vertically contracts a plurality of original lines to form compensated lines. The device uses a coefficient calculator (704) and a line processor (700), both controlled by a controller (706). The coefficient calculator provides compensation coefficients to the line processor. The line processor (700) forms weighted sums of the original lines, with the weightings determined by compensation coefficients. The compensation coefficients are chosen to sumultaneously implement flicker filtering and vertical contraction. Thus, the weighted sums are the compensated lines.
