Title: Connexion intelligente
Inventor: ST LAURANT STEPHANE
IPC: H04B10/2581
Filed: 2001-08-01
Abstract: Pour automatiser la gestion de la connexion des fibres dans des systèmes optiques, une voie de communication à faible débit binaire est attribuée de manière unique à chaque connexion de fibres. Cette voie de communication dédiée simplifie la gestion de la connexion des fibres du fait qu'elle supporte l'échange des informations d'identification de port d'un composant optique à un autre, après quoi un traitement détermine si la connexion spécifique est une association désirée. La voie de communication dédiée supporte la surveillance d'interconnexion optique pour toutes les connexions carte à carte au sein d'un groupe de cartes apparentées ou au sein d'une liaison de réseau optique. Un telle automatisation de la gestion de connexion des fibres améliorera les produits futurs en simplifiant le processus de validation de connexion de fibres et en faisant en sorte que toute connexion spécifique entre des composants optiques constitue l'association voulue. Cela sera particulièrement utile dans des environnements optiques complexes avec de nombreux dispositifs interconnectés, dans lesquels le dépistage de mauvaises connexions prendrait beaucoup de temps et serait par conséquent très onéreux.

Title: Powerful bonded nonconducting permanent magnet for downhole use
Inventor: EDWARDS CARL
IPC: G01R33/44
Filed: 2001-10-24
Abstract: A transverse dipole NMR tool includes a non-conductive permanent magnet (103) made of electrically conductive material such as AmCo. The concentration of SmCo is selected to be at a level low enough to prevent the formation of an electrically conductive path through the magnet. Disposed between the grains of conductive magnet material (101) may be either a ferrite (to increase the remnant magnetization and coercive force) or an inert material. There is a tradeoff between increasing the grain size of the conductive material and the increased intragranular power dissipation. The volume fraction of the conductive material may be increased to a level somewhat higher than a theoretical percolation limit for packed materials; due to randomness in the grain distribution, as long as domains where the percolation limit is exceeded are separate, no conductive path through the magnet results.

Title: Low glycemic response compositions
Inventor: JONES JUDY ANN
IPC: A23L33/15
Filed: 2002-03-26
Abstract: The present disclosure is related to compositions useful in the field of foods and beverages. In particular, the present invention relates to those compositions that reduce the postprandial rise in blood glucose (described as low Glycemic Index) that synergistically provide enhanced metabolism in the mammalian system and inhibit the storage of systemic fat. In particular, the present invention relates to compositions comprising: a) one or more flavanols; b) one or more bracers; and c) vitamin B; wherein the composition exhibits a Glycemic Index of about 55 or less. As disclosed, the unique combination of ingredients, which provide the defined, low Glycemic Index, work synergistically together to enhance perception of energy and / or improve physiological energy via metabolism enhancement over a long duration of time, without resulting in sudden peaks of glucose in the mammalian system. Thus, the present compositions effectively modulate glucose in the system, thereby providing energy to the system without resulting in the storage of systemic fat.
