Inventor: BOUWSTRA JAN BASTIAAN
IPC: A61P7/08
Filed: 2002-09-11
Abstract: The invention relates to compositions suitable for plasma substitution comprising as a
plasma expander a recombinant gelatin-like protein. Characteristic is that the gelatin-like
protein can be a monomer or a polymer like a dimer, trimer or a tetramer of a
human recombinant gelatin-like protein having an isolectric point of less than 8. The
resulting gelatin-like proteins provide a method to control the clearance rate of a plasma
expander by its molecular weight. Preferably the gelatin-like proteins have a low
hydroxyproline content which prevents the composition from gelling and thus allows
the use of high-molecular weight proteins in order to establish a suitable colloid
osmotic pressure. An additional advantage of the gelatin-like proteins is that these
avoid the risk of anaphylactic shock that exists in conjunction with the use of
commercially available preparations.

Abstract: Temporal processing for realtime human vision system behavioral modeling is
added at the input of a spatial realtime human vision system behavioral modeling
algorithm. The temporal processing includes a linear and a non-linear temporal filter
in series in each of a reference channel and a test channel, the input to the reference
channel being a reference image signal and the input to the test channel being a test
image signal that is an impaired version of the reference image signal. The non-linear
temporal filter emulates a process with neural attack and decay to compensate for a
shift in peak sensitivity and for frequency doubling in a spatio-temporal sensitivity
function. The linear temporal filter accounts for the remaining subtleties in the spatio-temporal
sensitivity function.

power associated to the impairment sources (P n ),   combining the first (P u ) and second (P n ) power level
parameters to generate a combined power parameter (α),   defining at least one threshold value (α   max   ) for the
combined power parameter (α),   comparing the combined power parameter (α) against the
threshold value (α   max   ) to obtain either of a first and a
second comparison result, whereby transmitted bursts are
detected in the case of said first comparison result (α < α   max   )
and no transmitted bursts are detected in the case of said
second comparison result (α > α   max   ).

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and a system for accelerating fault recovery in a redundant, tree structured local area network. The invention is used to define some of the LAN ports, which are, for example, used to connect the switch (SW) into the IP router, as critical ones. Likewise, some other LAN ports, used to connect the IP hosts to said switch (SW), are defined as dependent of the critical links. If a critical LAN port or corresponding link is found to be non-functional, e.g. no carrier sensed, all LAN ports or corresponding links depending on it are declared as non-functional. The declaration is done at link level in a way which allows the device(s) or ports connected to the other end of the link to notice that the link is not in use anymore to carry traffic.

Abstract: Le ravitaillement en vol d'une flotille (1) d'aéronefs par un aéronef ravitailleur (2) au moyen d'une même perche de ravitaillement nécessite la constitution d'une file d'attente et la détermination du nombre de passages, un ou éventuellement deux, de chaque aéronef à la perche de ravitaillement, ce qui constitue une séquence de ravitaillement. Si l'ordre de la file d'attente est simple à établir, puisqu'il correspond souvent à un classement par importances décroissantes des demandes en carburant, il n'en va pas de même du nombre de passages à la perche de ravitaillement qui doit être minimum tout en respectant les autonomies présentées par les aéronefs à ravitailler avant que ne débutent leurs propres ravitaillements. Le procédé décrit, qui peut être mis en oeuvre par un calculateur, permet d'automatiser la recherche d'une séquence de ravitaillement satisfaisant aux exigences d'autonomie des différents aéronefs ravitaillés tout en présentant un nombre minimum de passages des aéronefs de la flotille à la perche de ravitaillement.
