Abstract: L'invention concerne des réseaux de télécommunications et notamment des réseaux mobiles mettant en oeuvre des systèmes de transmission en mode de transfert asynchrone (MTA). L'invention concerne également la commande de fonctions de gestion de la mobilité et de gestion des communications dans des systèmes MTA. Selon l'invention, on a doté un élément de réseau (centre de commutation de services mobiles MSC / module de commande de station de base BSC) d'un réseau de télécommunications, comme un réseau mobile, assurant dans une architecture de réseau classique la commutation de connexions commutées par circuit, d'une fonction de commutation MTA. Des fonctions de commutation MTA sont commandées au moyen des mêmes opérations (31) de gestion de communications et de commutations que celles habituellement utilisées, par exemple pour la commande d'un champ de commutation (32) TDM dans un élément de réseau RMTP. Dans une mise en oeuvre minimale, un champ de commutation MTA (301) doté d'une interface de commande appropriée (30) est simplement installé à la place du champ de commutation TDM, ou parallèlement à celui-ci. L'élément de réseau de commutation devient ainsi un noeud réseau MTA d'une couche d'interface physique ou logique. La signalisation de niveau RMTP, la gestion de mobilité et de communications sont mises en oeuvre au moyen des solutions offertes par les réseaux mobiles existants et par des éléments courants de réseau RMTP.

Abstract: An onboard DAMA protocol for use in connection with a processing satellite communications network, where multiple users are assigned to a common transmission resource as part of a sharing set. A media access controller (30) on the satellite maintains a reservation log which identifies the frequencies and number of uplink time slots in the resource that are currently reserved by one or more members of the sharing set. To reserve a time-frequency slot on the transmission resource for a non-contentious transmission of data, a user of the sharing set will transmit a reservation request to the satellite on a contentious uplink resource. If a return message is not received, the user knows that the reservation request collided with another reservation request, and a retransmission strategy of the reservation request is employed. When the media access controller (30) receives the reservation request, it decides whether to grant, deny or delay the request based on the service and price class of the user, the amount of data already sent by the user, the number and type of other users with reservation requests in the queue, and the congestion state of the destination downlink port and subsequent nodes in the network. When the user receives a reservation grant message from the media access controller (30) on the satellite in the downlink, it will then wait for its reservation time frequency slot, and transmit its data in a non-contentious basis on the transmission resource at that time. If the user needs additional bandwidth to transmit more data, it may piggyback a reservation request on the data transfer.

Les coupleurs d'adaptation d'impédance (52, 68) assurent l'adaptation d'impédance à l'aide d'une bande de fréquences présélectionnée sur air, suffisante pour permettre la transmission à faible perte de signaux vidéo modulés en fréquence. Les coupleurs (52, 68) éliminent le bruit et sont accordés de manière résistive à l'impédance caractéristique de la ligne dans les bandes de fréquences présélectionnées. Un émetteur (54), un récepteur (56) et des circuits associés peuvent également être prévus à chaque emplacement le long des lignes. Les circuits de modulation vidéo FM, combinés aux techniques de couplage linéaire de phase, assure une transmission vidéo haute fidélité sur les lignes électriques existantes, tel que le câblage de puissance CA local. De plus, un coupleur (52) à accord de fréquence transistorisé est prévu.

Granted: 2010-02-02
Abstract: By clarifying the properties of OmpT protease, a novel use thereof as a protease and a novel method of producing a target polypeptide are provided. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of controlling cleavage of a polypeptide by OmpT protease which comprises converting a sequence site consisting of two arbitrary consecutive amino acids and/or amino acid(s) in the vicinity of said site in said polypeptide into other amino acids, characterized by (1) setting lysine or arginine as the amino acid at the -1-position concerning said site and setting a specific amino acid as the amino acid at the +1-position; and/or (2) setting specific amino acid(s) as the amino acid(s) at the -4-position and/or the -6-position relative to said site; so that desired parts of said polypeptide are cleaved by OmpT protease and/or undesired parts of said polypeptide are not cleaved by ompT protease. For example, the present invention provides a method of treating by OmpT protease a fusion protein having an amino acid sequence wherein the amino acid at the +1- position is X (wherein X is an amino acid other than glutamic acid, aspartic acid or proline); and a method of controlling cleavage by converting the amino acids at the - 6-position and the -4-position concerning the cleavage siteinto amino acids other than acidic amino acids.

Abstract: In a BAYER circuit, a process for controlling precipitation in which particle size quality of alumina hydrate produced in the circuit and circulating in feed tanks is monitored utilizing a calibration step and a control step. In the calibration step, cumulative percentage of alumina hydrate particles circulating in the feed tanks in the circuit that are finer than X2 mum, defined as CPFT X2, is measured vs. time and cumulative percentage of alumina hydrate particles circulating in the feed tanks in the circuit that are finer that X1 mum, defined as CPFT X1 vs. time, is measured, where X1 and X2 are predetermined particles sizes and X1 is smaller than X2. A relationship R between CPFT X1 and later changes in CPFT X2, is determined and upper and lower trigger thresholds of CPFT X1 which correspond to maximum permissible variation in CPFT X2 are defined. In the control step, CPFT X1 and CPFT X2 are regularly measured, and R and the correlation between CPFT X2 and the particle size of hydrate produced are updated. Corrective action is taken at the beginning of precipitation when the measured value of CPFT X1 reaches one of the trigger thresholds.
