Patent CA-2308693-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BUCHANAN WILLIAM M
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-05-15
Abstract: A router in accordance with the principles of the present invention employs explicit routing protocols to establish a plurality of explicitly routed label switched paths between source and sink routers. The sink router selects one of these explicitly routed paths as a primary path and communicates along that path.  Upon a failure in a path selected as a primary path, a secondary path is instantaneously selected as the new primary path. Since the new route has already been established, there is no need to re-compute the path at the time of a failure. Consequently, a new path is rapidly established in response to the failure of a path. One of the new routers may employ physical level maintenance information, such as loss of signal (LOS) or loss of pointer (LOP), for example, to detect such path failures. Additionally, the new router may employ provisioned flow information to propagate path failure alarms.

Title: Acoustic sensing system for downhole seismic applications utilizing an array of fiber optic sensors
Inventor: HODGSON CRAIG W
IPC: G01V1/16
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: A system for sensing subterranean acoustic waves emitted from an acoustic source includes a plurality of laser sources, a plurality of subterranean optical sensors, at least one optical detector, and electronics. The laser sources each emit light at a different frequency. The subterranean optical sensors receive the light and alter the light in response to the acoustic waves. The optical detector receives the altered light and outputs an electrical signal. The electronics receives the electrical signal and converts it into seismic data format. Preferably, the light emitted from the optical sources is modulated at a plurality of modulation frequencies. The electronics can be used to demodulate the signal. The electronics may demodulate the electrical signal by mixing the signal with periodic waveforms having frequencies corresponding to the modulation frequencies and twice the modulation frequencies. The modulation frequencies are selected such that at least one of the second harmonic frequencies associated with the modulation frequencies is interleaved in a non-interfering manner within the corresponding set of first harmonic frequencies. Preferably, the modulation frequencies are selected such that at least one of the first harmonic frequencies is interleaved in a non-interfering manner within the corresponding set of modulation frequencies. The hydrophone for sensing the acoustic signals is able to operate at pressures of at least 5,000 psi and temperatures of at least 130 degrees Celsius. The hydrophone may be housed in a cable having a diameter of less than about 1.5 inches.   The hydrophone's sensor preferably includes a reference mandrel, two sensing mandrels, and a telemetry can, all of which are aligned in a coaxial, end-to-end configuration to reduce the profile of the hydrophone. Flexible interlinks having grooves therein for receiving optical fiber join the mandrels together. The reference mandrel and sensing mandrels advantageously have hemispherically-shaped endcaps, permitting them to operate at high pressure.

Title: Casement window operator having folding crank handle
Inventor: MIDDLESWART ANDREW W
IPC: E05F11/16
Filed: 2000-12-19
Abstract: The operator assembly for a casement window includes a folding crank handle and cover assembly that are located on the exterior surface of a trim piece on the sill of the window frame. The crank handle is attached to the drive shaft of the operator of the assembly in such a way that the handle may be folded down into a low-profile position in which the knob of the handle projects into a receiving pocket in the cover.  An integral flap on the handle extending beyond the knob covers the pocket when the knob is received therein so as to fully conceal both the knob and the pocket and to present a smooth exterior in which surfaces of the handle and cover blend together to eliminate interference with window treatments and persons in the immediately vicinity.  Internal detent projections within the pocket yieldably retain the knob so as to provide for snap fit reception of the folded handle into its home position. Finger depressions in sidewalls of the cover on opposite sides of the pocket facilitate gripping of the edges of the handle for unfolding, even though the handle presents a relatively thin cross sectional configuration in the vicinity of the cover flap and pocket. An alternative embodiment discloses an egress operator assembly in which the single link arm that swings the sash between opened and closed positions has a hump adjacent its inner end that clears the worm gear of the operator assembly when the arm is in its fully closed position, thus allowing the arm to cross over the worm gear and lie along the sill in a compacted condition when the sash is closed.
