Abstract: An optical fault finder employing a novel processing technique to achieve greater sensitivity to loss detection and location of faults. The technique includes the use of a matched filter which sequentially operates on a set of datapoints in the trace signal. The resulting matched filter function generates peaks at those locations corresponding to discrete losses in the trace signal. In order to optimize response of the matched filter with respect to reflective faults, a clipping filter is applied to the trace signal, prior to the matched filter, to remove reflective signals. Means are also provided for determining the value of the loss, and for optimizing the pulse width of the test signal launched into the fiber under test.

Abstract: A computer is provided with a network planning facility, which displays in map (600) form a network comprising a plurality of nodes (61,62) each serving a plurality of subtending nodes, and in which the network is characterized by data stored in the computer. The operation of the planning facility is initiated in response to a user entering an appropriate command. Specifically, responsive to the command, the computer displays a plurality of symbols representing respective ones of the nodes, in which each such symbol is arranged so that it is indicative of the number of traffic terminations at it's associated node. The user may then select, in a conventional manner, one of the displayed symbols and then invoke either an automatic mode or a manual mode. In the automatic mode, the computer itself develops a plan for rehoming to another network node individual ones of the subtending nodes associated with the selected node, in which the rehomed subtending nodes are selected based on their having a predetermined traffic relationship with the other node. In the manual mode, it is the user, rather than the computer, which develops the rehoming plan.

Abstract: Apparatus for and method of rapidly bringing a controlled space to a desired temperature. The technique is particularly applicable to the maintenance of controlled temperature spaces for the transportation of perishable cargo, such as in refrigeration trucks. Immediately following completion of the loading process, it is desirable to bring the internal temperature of the controlled space (92) to the proper operating point as quickly as possible to retard spoilage. However, it is necessary to avoid unacceptable overshoot to prevent damage to the cargo by freezing. The disclosed system (76) employs multiple sensors (91,94) and a control algorithm to permit pull down to occur as rapidly as possible without unacceptable overshoot.

Abstract: The invention provides a stand apparatus for a medical optical instrument, in which a rear-side parallel link mechanism and a counterweight are arranged below those of a conventional arrangement. 
     The rear-side parallel link mechanism (11) having the counterweight (W) is arranged below that of the conventional arrangement, and operation of a front-side parallel link mechanism (10) is transmitted to the rear-side parallel link mechanism (11) through a transmission mechanism (13). Accordingly, a weight balance of the medical optical instrument (18) is surely tried by the counterweight (W) similarly to the conventional arrangement. Further, an upper rear space (SP), which has conventionally been occupied by the rear-side parallel link mechanism (11), can freely be used by an operator and an assistant and, therefore, this becomes very convenient. Furthermore, a position of the center of gravity of the entire stand apparatus is lowered considerably, and stability of the stand apparatus increases.

Abstract: An absorbent article(15) is described, such as a sanitary napkin, which has an absorbent means(20) and a substantially non-absorbent resilient layer(19) adjacent to the absorbent means. The absorbent means(20) is sufficiently stiff to resist twisting of the absorbent article during use. The resilient layer(19) is sufficiently resilient to resist bunching during use. As a result, the absorbent article(15) resists both twisting and bunching. The absorbent article(15) has zones which vary in caliper, stiffness and absorbency. A central absorbent zone is thickest in caliper, more absorbent than the other zones and is stiffer than the other zones. An adjacent zone is less thick in caliper, less absorbent and less stiff. A peripheral zone, located near the outer side edges, is least thick in caliper, least absorbent and least stiff.

Abstract: Significant throughput improvement is achieved for an input queued packet switch using output port schedulers by permitting the output schedulers to recycle or reassign cell transmission times from input ports which are unable to use them. When an output scheduler assigns a cell transmission time to an input port and that input port is unable to use the assigned transmission time due to a scheduling conflict, for example, the input port makes a new request for the same output port during the next subsequent request period and then returns the unusable transmission time assignment back to the output scheduler. The output scheduler stores the returned transmission time in a separate queue for assignment to later requests for the particular output port. Throughput performance is improved from 58% (without time slot recycling) to 92% (with time slot recycling) for random packet cell traffic models.

Abstract: An air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine (1) includes a LAF sensor (16) and an O2 sensor (17) arranged in an exhaust pipe at respective locations upstream and downstream of a catalytic converter (15). A desired air-fuel ratio coefficent (KCMD) used in calculating an amount of fuel (TOUT) supplied to the engine (1) is calculated based on operating conditions of the engine, and corrected by an amount (Δ KCMB) based on output (VO2) from the O2 sensor (17). The air-fuel ratio of a mixture supplied to the engine is feedback-controlled to a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio based on the corrected desired air-fuel ratio coefficient (KCMDM). When the output (VO2) from the O2 sensor (17) falls within a predetermined range (VL-VH), the desired air-fuel ratio coefficient (KCMDM) is not corrected, but held at an immediately preceding value thereof.

Abstract: A data processing system gives an application running on the operating system exclusive ownership of a hardware device. The system is operable in two modes. In the first mode the application interacts with the hardware device by making use of the processing system. In this mode many layers of the processing system are involved and the interaction time with the hardware is slow and inconsistent. In the second mode, exclusive ownership of the hardware device is granted to the application by the driver. In this mode the application has direct access to the hardware device thus avoiding the involvement of the processing system layers. The application accesses and uses the driver through a low latency processor interface linked into the application program itself.
