Inventor: WONTERGHEM GEERT ARTHUR EDITH
IPC: H02H9/00
Filed: 1997-11-28
Abstract: A current control interface arrangement includes a card circuit and a connector means. The connector means is adapted to generate, from the supply voltage terminals, an enable signal which is directly correlated to the moment of insertion or extraction of the load from the power supply. The card circuit includes an active device to be coupled between a power supply terminal and a load, an enable controlled switch for delivering the correct voltage to the control terminal of the active device for turning on, respectively turning off this device and a time constant means for controlling the rate at which the active device isfurther rendered conductive. A very simple power supply sequencing apparatus including the current control interface arrangement allows for coupling a plurality of supply voltages to a card in descending order starting from the highest supply voltage to the lowest supply voltage.

Title: An inexpensive single-fiber bidirectional data link
Inventor: NORTE DAVID A
IPC: H04B10/24
Filed: 1997-11-28
Abstract: An optical wavelength-division multiplexed bidirectional data link (FIG. 1) is constructed using a single multi-mode fiber (130). The link comprises the optical fiber with a single-lens optical transceiver (100, 150) at each end of the fiber. Each single-lens optical transceiver comprises a transmitter in the form of a surface-emitting light-emitting diode (LED 101) that emits light at a wavelength of .85µm, and a receiver in the form of a large-scale optical detector (102) and a dielectric optical filter (103) that has a passband at a wavelength of 1.3µm. In the other transceiver, the wavelengths of the transmitter and the receiver are reversed. The transceiver is made as a single integrated-circuit device and is coupled to the fiber by a single-lens optical coupler (110, 160). The optical coupler is a light pipe (112) that consists of the following: a first surface (114) along the length of the light pipe for positioning adjacent to the transceiver, a reflective planar second surface (111) at one end of the light pipe for positioning in front of the transceiver and forming a 45° angle with the first surface, and a convex lens (113) at the other end of the light pipe for optically coupling light into and out of the multimode fiber.

Patent CA-2235809-A1 (CA)
Inventor: THOMSON SCOTT M
IPC: F04B1/20
Filed: 1997-08-26
Abstract: An improved axial-piston energy converting device is provided by utilizing a thin ceramic wear plate insert, having a typical thickness of only about .005 to .040 inches in thickness, as a cam surface secured by atmospheric pressure to an underlying support surface of a steel cam plate support structure. Attachment of the wear plate to the cam plate supporting surface is accomplished by polishing both a supporting surface of the cam plate, and a mating surface of the wear plate to a very smooth finish, and wiping a thin film of a fluid such as oil onto one of the polished surfaces prior to placing the wear plate onto the supporting surface. The highly polished surface, together with the light film of oil, results in a joint that is essentially air tight. Atmospheric pressure acting on the cam surface of the wear plate serves to hold the wear plate tightly in place on the support surface in the same manner that a pair of Johansson blocks are held together if their highly polished surfaces are mated.

Inventor: TAYLOR CECIL L
IPC: H04W8/08
Filed: 1998-07-15
Abstract: A method of updating mobility information for a Mobile End System (MES) in a Cellular Digital Packet Data network uniquely identifies a Serving Mobile Data Intermediate System (MDIS) in a ReDirect Request (RDR) so that the Location Update Service (LUS) can complete its location updating operations. Upon attachment of the MES to the Serving MDIS, a RDR is created that includes a LUS address of the Serving MDIS and a Forwarding Service address (FSA) of the Serving MDIS. The RDR is then transmitted to a Home MDIS corresponding to the MES via a network backbone. The Forwarding Service address of the MES is then updated to the Forwarding Service address of the Serving MDIS. Then, the Home MDIS creates an RDC that includes as a destination address the LUS address of the Serving MDIS and transmits to the RDC to the Serving MDIS via the network backbone. Once the LUS operations are complete, data intended for the MES received at the Home MDIS is routed based upon the FSA of the Serving MDIS. The data is received by the Home MDIS and routed via a Mobile Data Base Station to the MES. In an alternate operation, the LUS address of the Serving MDIS is not appended to the RDR by the Serving MDIS but is be appended to the RDR by an Intermediate MDIS should the RDR be routed to the Home MDIS by way of an intermediate MDIS. When the Intermediate MDIS receives the RDR, it determines that it is not the Home MDIS and appends the LUS address to the RDR. The Intermediate MDIS then transmits the RDR to the Home MDIS.

Title: Method of catalyst deactivation in continuous polyethylene terephthalate production
Inventor: EDWARDS WALTER LEE
IPC: C08K5/524
Filed: 1997-05-20
Abstract: A continuous process for producing polyethylene terephthalate polyester from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol uses a stabilizer, preferably containing phosphorous, to produce a high quality polyethylene terephthalate polyester which is relatively free of the acetaldehyde and discoloration which are associated with the post-polymerization activity of a polymerization catalyst. The stabilizer is preferably added at or after the end of the polymerization reaction prior to polymer processing to deactivate the polymerization catalyst and can increase the throughput of the polyester without adversely affecting the thermal stability of the polyethylene terephthalate polyester. Alternatively, the late addition of the stabilizer can increase the thermal stability of the polyester without adversely affecting the throughput of the polyethylene terephthalate polyester.
