Abstract: An improved cellular telephone communication system is described having operational steps which prevent a call from being dropped due to a radiotelephone (130) not receiving a handoff instruction from its host base site (115). The system includes a switch controller (122) for determining that the radiotelephone requires a handoff from a first base site coverage area (110) to a second base site coverage area (112) and for communicating a handoff message to the associated first (115) and second base site equipment (119). The first base site equipment then transmits the handoff message to the radiotelephone. If the radiotelephone does not receive the message, it determines that the call has been lost, siezes a signalling channel from the second base site, and requests, via the second base site a call reconnection by transmitting a special message. The second base site then informs the radiotelephone of the handoff instruction and the handoff is completed with a successful reconnection of the call.

Abstract: A process for forming flexible cutting line for use in rotary vegetation trimmers of the type having two or more monofilament lines mounted on a common spool. The line produced by the process of the present invention defines two monofilament strands joined together in a side-by-side relationship by a severable bond. Each strand defines a plurality of circumferentially spaced and outwardly projecting vegetation cutting edges thereon, two of the edges on one of the strands being in parallel contact with two of the edges on the other strand so as to define a pair of parallel readily severable welds bonding the strands together in a side-by-side disposition. The line forming process includes the steps of extruding the strands such that two of the edges on one strand are in proximate disposition and opposed parallel alignment with two of the edges on the other strand, directing the extruding strands together in edge-to-edge parallel contact along the opposed edges such that an enclosed space is defined between the strands so that the heat in the strands can create a positive pressure in the enclosed area to prevent inseparable fusion of the strands. The strands are then directed in edge-to-edge contact into a cooling quench bath, and pulled through the bath to effect crystallization and bonding together of the strands in an adjacent disposition along two readily severable parallel welds defined by the contacting edges.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and plant for the pneumatic transportation of solid particles in the form of a diluted phase through a conduit (1), with which the transport air in said conduit is given a velocity which is at most equal to the air velocity chosen for a maximum particle load level. The free flow from the pressurized air source (3) is regulated on the basis of measured air velocity or on the basis of a state corresponding thereto, such as air pressure in the conduit, and an established relationship between the free flow and the said measured velocity of the air or a state (pressure) corresponding thereto, essentially independently of the particle load. There is thus maintained in the conduit a preferably constant transport air velocity with all different occurring levels of particle load.

Abstract: A method and system for downloading applications for controlling devices within a home audio/video network. Several consumer electronics products, e.g., television, VCR, tuner, set-top box (e.g., intelligent receiver/decoder, IRD), DVTRs, PCs, DVD players (digital video disk), etc., can be coupled within the network to communicate together via a standard bus (e.g, IEEE 1394 serial communication bus). In one embodiment, the HAVI network offers unique advantages consumer electronic vendors because the architecture offers for the home network many of the advantages of existing computer system networks. Namely, interconnected devices can share resources and provide open, well defined APIs that allow ease of development for third party developers. Devices are controlled using software abstractions of the devices or services called DCMs. The present invention provides a mechanism whereby applications can be downloaded, e.g., via a programmable intelligent device (e.g., set-top-box), and provide features and services within the network. These applications originate from a service provider, are transferred over a logical channel (e.g., the internet/TV cable, satellite broadcast) to the consumer premises and are instantiated on the intelligent device within the network. The application can query a registry of DCMs to determine its complement of functions and can ultimately control the devices of the network using the available DCMs.

Abstract: During treatment, cutting oil dispersion is exposed as a falling film, keeping it sufficiently thin for complete irradiation by incident ultraviolet light (UV). UV irradiation covers the total film width, originating from a horizontal strip. On the side opposite the irradiation source (4), a mirror (7), reflects UV back into the film. Several UV irradiators are arranged successively, each parallel to, and optionally located on both sides of the falling film. An optical system (10) concentrates UV, deflecting it towards the film. The UV radiator is a bar light, the reflector along it being parabolic in cross section. The unit has a slotted (9) vessel (8) producing the film. A similar alternative arrangement is described. It contains a longitudinal aeration tube in addition. Flowrate is adjustable. A filter retains solids.

Abstract: A quench zone mixing apparatus that occupies a low vertical height and has an improved mixing efficiency and fluid distribution across the catalyst surface includes a swirl chamber, a rough distribution network, and a distribution apparatus. In the swirl chamber, reactant fluid from a catalyst bed above is thoroughly mixed with a quench fluid by a swirling action. The mixed fluids exit the swirl chamber through an aperture to the rough distribution system where the fluids are radially distributed outward across the vessel to the distribution apparatus. The distribution apparatus includes a plate with a number of bubble caps and associated drip trays that multiply the liquid drip stream from the bubble caps to further symmetrically distribute the fluids across the catalyst surface. Alternatively, deflector baffles may be associated with the bubble caps to provide a wider and more uniform liquid distribution below the plate. The distribution apparatus can be used in the reaction vessel without the swirl chamber and rough distribution system, e.g., at the top of a vessel.
