Abstract: A method for inspection of tubular goods includes using ultrasonic detection means to obtain wall thickness measurement of discrete sections of a tubular good and recording each measurement in association with both the longitudinal and circumferential position at which each measurement was obtained.  Accordingly each measurement of wall thickness represents a small portion of the wall thickness of said tubular in three dimensional space. A plurality of said measurements may thereby be displayed by computer means in virtual three dimensional format. Differing wall thickness readings made be represented by different shading or color display, so that anomalies of interest may be readily detected. Alternatively the recorded information may be readily processed by computer means to calculate the effect of stressors on the wall of said tubular good.

Patent CA-2569710-C (CA)
Title: Avoiding micro-loop upon failure of fast reroute protected links
Inventor: VASSEUR JEAN-PHILIPPE
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2005-05-26
Granted: 2011-02-22
Abstract: A technique incorporates an efficient means for avoiding micro-loops on a backup path associated with a failed protected link. An intermediate node delays updating a forwarding database (FDB) contained in the intermediate node based on the intermediate node's distance from the failed link (Figure 8).  Specifically, intermediate nodes near failed protected link delay updating their FDBs for a longer period of time than nodes farther away from the failed link (880). By updating FDBs in this manner, micro-loops may be avoided on the failed link's backup path as nodes on the backup path that are close to the failed link do not update their FDBs ahead of nodes farther away on the backup path.

Title: Apparatus and method for supporting multiple traffic categories at a single networked device
Inventor: TURK DOUGHAN A
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2005-12-20
Granted: 2012-07-31
Abstract: An apparatus comprising a first and a second functional entity operable for supporting traffic in, respectively, first and second traffic categories across a communications network. The second traffic category is associated with specific routing requirements. A network interface releases a request for a first address and a request for a second address. The request for a second address comprises data that is instrumental in causing the second address to be assigned by an address-assigning entity from a particular set of at least one address. The network is pre-configured to route traffic destined for a given address in the particular set of at least one address in accordance with the specific routing requirements. Receipt of the first address from the address-assigning entity enables the first functional entity to act as a receptor of traffic in the first traffic category, while receipt of the second address enables the second functional entity to act as a receptor of traffic in the second traffic category.
