Patent CA-2228028-C (CA)
Inventor: JOHNSON DAVID
IPC: H04L12/701
Filed: 1996-08-06
Granted: 2001-10-09
Abstract: A method of determining a restoration route (or an additional route) in a fully or partially meshed communications network of nodes, comprising setting, at a node which initially determines itself to be the slave end node for an existing route, a timeout for receiving a number of forward route-finder signatures from which it will select the signature representing the potential restoration route having the shortest length and return a route confirmation signature; switching, if no route-finder signatures have been received by the expiry of the timeout, to act as master end node for the existing route and send reverse route-finder signatures to its neighbouring nodes; switching, upon receipt of a reverse route-finder signature at a node which initially determines itself to be the master end node for an existing route, to act as slave end node, and send a corresponding return signature. Where a slave end node receives a backtrack signature indicating that the potential restoration route no longer has sufficient capacity, the node will switch to act as master end node. Where a forward route-finder signature is received after a node has sent a reverse route-finder signature, a priority route confirmation signature is sent. The route-finder signatures have a count field to indicate the direction of travel and the number of times that the sending node has switched to act as master end node, forward signatures have counts 1,3, etc..., and reverse signatures have counts 2,4, etc... Where a node has sent a forward route-finder signature, received a reverse route-finder signature, sent a confirmation signature, and subsequently receives a priority confirmation signature, then unless a backtrack signature is received two restoration routes will be established and the nodes will select the better one.

Title: Fastener
Inventor: BROWN HENRY JOHN HARDING
IPC: A61B17/70
Filed: 1998-05-06
Granted: 2002-03-26
Abstract: An improved fastener is provided for use in retaining vertebrae in a desired spatial relationship.  The fastener has a mounting section with a first external thread to engage a vertebra.  The fastener has a retaining section with a second external thread to engage an internal thread on a retaining element, such as a nut.  A pair of parallel flats are formed on opposite sides of the retaining section.  The flats are spaced apart by a distance which is substantially the same as or greater than a root diameter of the external thread on the retaining section.  A driving recess in an axially outer end of the retaining section has arcuate corner portions which receive force to effect rotation of the fastener relative to a vertebra engaged by the mounting section.  The arcuate corner portions of the driving recess are offset from a plane containing the longitudinal central axis of the retaining section and extending perpendicular to the flats.

Abstract: An NPA split management system and associated methods for receiving from a user descriptive instructions regarding an upcoming NPA split, and responsively updating components of the Intelligent Network to reflect corresponding changes in the NPA codes assigned to lines, subscribers, services, etc. A user interface operating in conjunction with a Service Management System allows the user to declare an NPA split and define its characteristics, including the old NPA code, the new NPA  code, the central office codes to be "transferred" to the new NPA, and the dates of beginning and end of the permissive dialing period (PDP). The SMS contains indicia corresponding to SMS-managed databases, or tables, records, or fields thereof, which definitively specify whether the data contained therein is affected by an NPA  split.    The SMS determines which items require updating to the new NPA code, and on which components the affected databases or services reside. The SMS transmits to each affected Intelligent Network component instructions to update the affected databases (or other items) by replacing the old NPA code with the new NPA  code. The Intelligent Network component executes the update instruction and installs a translation table entry. When transactions arrive during the PDP, the Intelligent Network component translates mentions of the old NPA to the new NPA before providing the requested service, as the updated database no longer has references to the old NPA.

Abstract: Cooling structure of gas turbine combustor in which cooling medium flows through grooves in wall is improved so that adjustment of flow velocity, pressure loss and heat transfer rate of cooling medium flow in the wall becomes possible and cooling effect thereof is enhanced. Wall of combustor tail tube is made in double structure in which outer plate (1) and inner plate (4) are jointed together being lapped one on another. The outer plate (1) has air inlet hole (3) and groove (2) formed therein. The groove (2) is closed by jointing of the inner plate (4) to the outer plate (1).      The inner plate (4) has air outlet hole (5) formed therein.      The groove (2) communicates with the air inlet hole (3) and the air outlet hole (5). Cross sectional shape of the groove (2) is changed two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally such that width enlarges toward the hole (5) from the hole (3) or depth is constant or changed in tapered form. Cooling air flows into the groove (2) from the air inlet hole (3) of tail tube surface to flow toward both sides along the groove (2) for cooling of the wall. The air is thereby heated to expand to increase flow velocity and pressure loss, but flow passage enlarges toward the hole (5) and flow velocity is suppressed and pressure loss is reduced.

Abstract: A nurse receiver header for an agricultural planting implement is cooperable with a nurse mechanism that conveys a stream of seeds entrained in an air stream from a central hopper. A receiver is positioned at the planting mechanism to receive the seeds entrained in the air stream and accumulate a supply of the seeds for utilization by the associated planting mechanism. The receiver header may include a vent for dissipating the air stream when receiving the seeds for distribution to the receiver. The vent is provided with a hood to keep contaminants from entering the vent and passing into the planting mechanism. The receiver header is positioned so that an appropriate supply of seeds for the planting mechanism fills the tube between the receiver header and the receiver including the vent, resulting in a decreased volume of discharged air for the air stream and a diminished ability for the nurse mechanism to convey seeds. The receiver header can be configured to service multiple receivers. The receiver header is mounted at an angle inclined to the vertical when in an operating position such that the receiver header can be rotated through an angle in the range of 70 - 110 degrees to a transport position without inverting the receiver header, thereby retaining the seeds accumulated in the receiver.
