Title: A connector for joining fluid flow passage-ways in a fluid handling system
Inventor: CAMPAU DANIEL N
IPC: F16L37/098
Filed: 2000-04-27
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a connector for joining fluid flow
passage-ways in a fluid handling system. The connector may be manually
manipulated, without using any tools, to quickly and easily couple or decouple the
mating connector components. Those components include a plug (12) having a
cylindrical plug wall and a radially extending flange, and a mating socket (14) having a
cylindrical socket wall and a pair of diametrically opposed retainers (24). The retainers
each comprise an axially extending flexible lever (26) spaced from the socket wall.
The lever is joined to the socket wall at a base or proximal end and has a latch (34) at
its free or distal end. The lever is also joined to the socket wall by a fulcrum wall
or living hinge positioned intermediate the ends of the lever. A split lock ring is
disposed between the socket wall and each retainer and is movable from a position
adjacent the base of each retainer to a position remote from the base of each
retainer. The latch at the free end of each retainer is engageable with the plug
flange to prevent disengagement of the plug and socket when the levers are in
their free, unstressed state. However, the levers may be manually deflected or
depressed at a flexing portion thereof when the lock ring is positioned adjacent the
retainer bases to disengage each latch from the plug flange and thereby permit
axial decoupling of the plug and socket.

Abstract: A method and a device are provided for triggering an
uplink transmission in a cable modem. A number of time
indicators (301) is received in a downlink direction. There
is established knowledge about a total time offset related to
propagation delays in a network from which the time
indicators are received. There is also established knowledge
about an allocated uplink transmission slot number
determined in relation to the received time indicators. The
total time offset is reduced into a remainder value that is
smaller than the total time offset. A shifted slot counter
(304, 405) is synchronized to a shifted time base (302, 303)
which has an offset to the time base provided by the
received time indicators (301), said offset being equal to
said remainder value. An uplink transmission triggering
signal is generated as a response to said shifted slot counter
(405) giving a certain slot number.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing optically active cyanhydrins by reacting oxo compounds, such as for example aldehyde and/or ketone with hydrogen cyanide and/or with a cyanide donor in the presence of an inclusion compound which contains an oxynitrilase with an increased molecular weight. According to said method, an oxynitrilase is used, whose molecular weight is first increased by cross-linkage and which is subsequently converted into a gel inclusion compound and/or a gel complex compound, said conversions occurring substantially in two independent steps. The method which is carried out in particular at temperatures of between - 10 and + 30  DEG C and at pH values of between 3.0 and 6.0, preferably in an aqueous or hydrous system, but also in organic solvents, uses a component which contains enzymes. In said component, the molecular-weight of the enzyme has been increased, in particular by co-cross-linkage or by flocculation and said enzyme is used either in a free form or is enclosed by natural or artificial cells. A deciding factor in this method is the fact that the enzyme is enclosed by or complexed in a gel, which results in negligibly small attrition and leaching losses at a practically constant high level of enzyme activity, rendering the method extremely effective and economic.

Title: Monolithic ADSL analogue front end
Inventor: AGAH MICHAEL D
IPC: H04L27/00
Filed: 2001-09-04
Abstract: A monolithic ADSL analog front end 500 implements mixed
signal technology in which synthesized impedance techniques are
employed. The synthesized impedance techniques substantially
reduce the transmitter line driver 506 gain and receiver
amplifier 508 gain such that the analog transmitter and receiver
filters 502, 504 can be implemented in the high-voltage process.
Since the signal gains of the transmitter line driver 506 and
receiver amplifier 508 are reduced, and since the analog filters
502, 504 are implemented in the high-voltage process, they can
be physically reduced in size to accommodate a higher noise
floor which reduces the die area and power dissipation
requirements associated with the hybrid 500.

Abstract: A cost-effective filter (310) consuming low power and
occupying minimal space. The filter may be used in a ADSL modem
(or CPE) to filter the signal components other than the ADSL
signals. A high pass filter (450) first filters the low frequency
components to attenuate (or remove) lower frequency components such
as that caused by ADSL transmit echo signals and that used for
voice transmission. The high pass filter may be modified by adding
a few resistors to limit the voltages of the high frequency signals
also. The output of the high pass filter is amplified (420) and
passed through a low pass filter (480) to filter the high frequency
components (HPNA included). Due to earlier filtering operation of
the high pass filter, the signal can be amplified substantially
before being sent to the low pass filter. The implementation of
the low pass filter is simplified due to the prior amplification.

Abstract: A programmable packet switching controller has a packet
buffer, a pattern match module, a programmable packet
classification engine and an application engine. The packet
buffer stores inbound packets, and includes a header data
extractor to extract header data from the inbound packets and to
store the extracted header data in a header data cache. The
header data extractor also generates a header data cache index
and provides it to the packet classification engine for it to
retrieve the extracted header data. The packet classification
engine has a decision tree-based classification logic for
classifying a packet. Each of the leaves of the tree represents
a packet classification. The packet classification engine uses
the header data cache index to retrieve the header data to
perform multiple header checks, starting at a root of the tree
and traversing branches until a leaf has been reached. The
application engine has a number of programmable sub-engines
arrayed in a pipelined architecture. The packet classification
engine provides start indicators based on the packet
classification to the programmable sub-engines to identify
application programs to be executed. The sub-engines includes a
source lookup engine, a destination lookup engine and a
disposition engine, which are used to make a disposition
decision for the inbound packets in a processing pipeline. The
pattern match module is used to compare the packet to a predefined
pattern in order to provide a disposition
recommendation.
