Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the regeneration
of a zeolitic alkylation or transalkylation catalyst,
at least partially exhausted, and comprises subjecting
said exhausted catalyst to heat treatment with an aromatic
hydrocarbon.

from preparation processes of monoalkylated aromatic
hydrocarbons by the alkylation of an aromatic hydrocarbon
substrate with an alkylating agent selected from C 2 -C 4  olefins,
isopropanol and mixtures of isopropanol with propylene,
or by the transalkylation of an aromatic hydrocarbon
substrate with one or more polyalkylaromatic hydrocarbons,
said alkylation or transalkylation processes being carried
out in at least partially liquid phase and in the presence
of a catalyst of zeolitic nature.

Abstract: A cardiac assist catheter pump includes a displacement structure (6) and a
catheter (10; 110). The catheter (10; 110) has an inlet in its distal end portion
(13) and an outlet spaced from the distal end portion (13). The displacement
structure (6) alternatingly applies suction for displacing fluid from the
catheter (10; 110) to the displacement structure (6) and pressure for displacing
fluid from the displacement structure (6) to the catheter (10; 110). A valve
body (16; 116) of the catheter (10, 110) is movable between an inlet position
obstructing flow through the outlet (15; 115) and allowing flow through the
inlet (12) and an outlet position obstructing flow through the inlet (12) and
allowing flow through the outlet (15; 115). Thus, a simplified construction and
a reduced risk of blood clotting is achieved. A catheter (10; 110) and a fitting
(14) for such a catheter pump are also described.

Abstract: A network arrangement for delivering IP services to subscribers comprises a
core network, a plurality of label switched media gateways coupled to the
network and each providing an interface for one or more subscriber terminals.
Call servers associated with the network are used to establish connections
between pairs of gateways, these connections being routed across the core
network via tunnels established therein. The tunnels are exclusively reserved
for traffic between the label switched media gateways so as to provide security
of that traffic from third party access and to provide a guaranteed quality of
service. Because traffic is accepted into a tunnel only if bandwidth is available
in that tunnel, firm and meaningful quality of service guarantees can be given to
users.

Abstract: In a MIMO system the signals transmitted from the various antennas are
processed so as to improve the ability of the receiver to extract them from the received
signal even in the face of some correlation. More specifically the number of bit streams
that is transmitted simultaneously is adjusted, e.g., reduced, depending on the level of
correlation, while multiple versions of each bit stream, variously weighted, are
transmitted simultaneously. The variously weighted versions are combined to produced
one combined weighted signal. The receiver processes the received signals in the same
manner as it would have had all the signals reaching the receive antennas been
uncorrelated. The weight vectors may be determined by the forward channel transmitter
using the channel properties of the forward link which are made known to the transmitter
of the forward link by being transmitted from the receiver of the forward link by the
transmitter of the reverse link or the weight vectors may be determined by the forward
channel transmitter using the channel properties of the forward link and the determined
weight vectors are made known to the transmitter of the forward link by being transmitted
from the receiver of the forward link by the transmitter of the reverse link. The channel
properties used to determine the weight vectors may include the channel response from
the transmitter to the receiver and the covariance matrix of noise and interference
measured at the receiver.

of initial-value information of a given initial value according to a
predetermined key generation algorithm. The first-key base
information is encrypted into encryption-resultant first-key base

Abstract: The invention discloses how a text document can be marked
through the insertion of inter-word blank characters for the
purpose of becoming authenticateable. First, text to be marked
is edited so as to obtain a canonical form of it conforming to
a model. Then, from this canonical form of the text and a
secret-key used as inputs, a unique combination of inter-word
blank characters positions is computed in which extra blanks
are inserted thus, obtaining a marked text document. Authentication
of a received marked text document is performed by a
recipient, sharing the secret-key, further comparing the
received text document to the marked text document so that if
they are matching exactly the received text document is
accepted as authentic or rejected as fake if not. The invention
allows to merge the information necessary to authenticate
a text document into the body of the document itself which
works as well on soft-copy and hard-copy text documents.

Abstract: A method for generating a closely spaced train
of extremely high voltage short pulses. The method
involves generating the train of pulses by combining a
plurality of harmonic amplitudes to construct said
pulses, via a Fourier construction. Any arbitrary pulse
shape can be reproduced simply by changing the amplitude
of the harmonics. The train of high voltage electrical
pulses produced by the method of the present invention is
particularly well suited for the acceleration of
particles by applying the pulses to an appropriate
accelerating structure, or the pulses can be used to
drive an undulator/wiggler.

Abstract: The present invention provides for automatically accepting applications, testing, training, certifying, assigning, allocating, controlling, and scheduling remote agents who work when they please from home or some other remote location. An applicant (100), upon learning that "remote worker" jobs are available for persons with specific skills, transmits an application to a remote agent center (RAC) (130) via a Communications Network (120), such as the Internet. The application contains the person's profile, training, and experience. The RAC validates the skills claimed by the person via testing or third party confirmation. The RAC then accepts the person as a remote worker, certifies the person's skill levels, and places the person in the remote worker pool. If need be, the remote worker can obtain remote training on new or additional topics. A remote worker may schedule his or her time by entering a weekly/monthly schedule and may work from any location provided he or she has the necessary equipment. The RAC evaluates the business demands of an external party (140), such as a contact center, identifies remote workers with the needed skills who are available, and transmits the work at the appropriate time to the remote workers. The work is transmitted via or though the RAC (130). The external parties (140) do not have to recruit, train, or test persons, or be concerned with staffing issues as this function is performed by the RAC.
