IPC: D04B1/22
Filed: 2005-12-26
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of knitting a double tubular knitted fabric in which an outer tubular section can be formed independent from an inner tubular section while knitting the inner and outer tubular sections simultaneously by a flat knitting machine. Each of the front knitted fabric parts of the inner and outer tubular sections is assigned to one of the front and back needle beds, and each of the back knitted fabric parts of the inner and outer tubular sections is assigned to the other needle beds. The knitting method uses at least two yarn feeders, where the inner tubular section is formed using a yarn from one yarn feeder and the outer tubular section is formed using a yarn from the other yarn feeder. In knitting the outer tubular section, return knitting is performed where a loop is formed subsequent to the loop formed in a going course in a returning course. The outer tubular section is formed in the tubular form by connecting the loops at the boundary of the returningpart. In knitting the inner and outer tubular sections, the respective yarn feeders are moved such that the yarns for knitting the inner and outer tubular sections do not intersect.

Title: Ad matching system and method thereof
Inventor: BI HONGGUAG
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2009-03-11
Abstract: A system reducing the number of default ads displayed by a user agent thereby maximizing revenue for webpage publishers. To maximize revenue, the system manages multiple ad networks so that webpage publishers can have access to advertisements from the multiple ad networks. Typically, when an ad network serves a default ad, the system queries the next ad network. If the next ad network serves a non-default ad, then the ad is served. Otherwise, the system selects another ad network until either a non-default ad is served or a specific period of time elapses or a maximum number of ad networks have been queried, in which case the default ad is served. Ad networks may be ranked by revenue generation and/or the probability of serving a default ad. Inquiries to ad networks may be biased according to such rankings.

Patent EP-0433392-A4 (EP)
IPC: G02B6/36
Filed: 1989-09-11
Abstract: Un commutateur à fibre optique utilise une seule fibre optique pour une communication bidirectionnelle utilisant la lumière. Un mécanisme de commutation ne possède aucune pièce électrique et est donc approprié pour être installé dans une zone où se trouvent des matériaux explosifs combustibles. La fibre optique (100) peut être coupée à la longueur désirée sur place et peut être installée sans avoir recours à des outils spéciaux et sans avoir besoin d'une formation particulière. La fibre (100) est tenue en place à l'aide d'une cosse (140) qui est contrainte de manière à comprimer la fibre (100) et l'assujettir. Un miroir à action de déclic (216) réfléchit la lumière et la renvoie dans la fibre dans une certaine position et ne la réfléchit dans une autre position. Un circuit électronique (210 et 220) génère des impulsions de lumière et détermine la coïncidence des impulsions envoyées et des impulsions reçues pour faire la différence entre le fonctionnement approprié du commutateur et le fonctionnement du commutateur provoqué par la lumière ambiante ou autres faux signaux.

Title: Electronic watt-hour meter
IPC: G01R21/00
Filed: 1990-07-03
Abstract: A signal proportional to the load current is integrated during the positive (or negative) half-cycles of the supply voltage. Whenever the integrator (7) output crosses the boundary of two limits, a reference voltage (with the appropriate polarity) is also integrated to bring the integrator output inside the two limits. During the reference voltage integration time, the pulses generated by a voltage to frequency converter (3) are used to increment or decrement a counter (9) according to the polarity of the reference voltage. The frequency of the voltage to frequency converter is made proportional to the supply voltage. After any period of time, the counter content changes by an amount proportional to the watt-hour consumed during this period.
