Abstract: It is a serious disaster if a solution can not be found to alleviate the problem of an air accident in which a steel flying machine weighing several tons including its passengers falls to the ground from high in the sky. The present invention provides a solution for this half a century old problem. With this invention, it reduces the large number of fatal losses of lives, transported goods, and air planes over the last half a century. It also eliminates the subconscious fear of such disaster by passengers and pilots alike. The present invention provides three methods of deploying parachutes from the plane body to resolve the above problem. It solves the problem of the parachutes becoming tangled with the large propeller of a helicopter in such circumstances. Thus, it can be readily utilized in an accident. Additionally, speed reduction jets are provided in addition to the parachutes to reduce the falling speed of the helicopter to achieve its safe landing. Inflatable air bags are provided on both sides of its belly and inflatable tubular gaskets are provided around the door joints for sealing these joints such that when falling onto water, the helicopter would float safely to await for rescue. Inflatable air bags are also provided to reduce the impact of the helicopter upon landing on the ground. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The improved ring seal (1) includes an annularly shaped body element having a radial inner surface (5), a radial outer surface (6), a first axial end surface (15) and a second axial end surface (21). The ring seal (1) also includes a circular ridge (23) axially projecting from both axial end surfaces (15,21). The axial ridges (23) separate the end surfaces (15,21) into inner axial end surfaces (13,19) and outer axial end surfaces (15,21). The inner axial end surfaces (13,19) are recessed relative to the outer axial end surfaces (15,21) such that the thickness of the ring seal (1) as measured at the inner axial end surface (13,19) is thinner than as measured at the outer axial end surfaces (15,21). The ring seal (1) may further include a plurality of bores (25) which project radially inward from the radial outer surface (6) toward the radial inner surface (5). The projections of the bores (25) through the ring seal (1) from sidewalls (27) which project between the axial end surfaces (15,21) and radially from the ring seal's (1) radial outer surface (6) towards the ring seal's (1) radial inner surface (5). The addition of the bores (25) to the ring seal (1) increases the ring seal's (1) deformation during sealing compression, while the sidewalls (27) provide elastic recovery of the ring seal (1) during repeated cycles of compression and decompression. <IMAGE>

Abstract: For precision radiation therapy it is essential that the patient be positioned as accurately as possible with reference to the irradiation center (IC). To this end, an axis of rotation (TA) of a patient positioning table (7) is first determined in terms of its position and is then aligned correspondingly. For determining the position, a mark (5) is introduced into the isocenter (IC) of the irradiation device and rotates with the patient positioning table (7). The distance between the axis of rotation (TA) and the isocenter (IC) is determined on the basis of the distance (P, IC) traveled and the angle of rotation (phi), and the axis of rotation is then aligned correspondingly.

Abstract: The present invention is applicable to access networks across which virtual connections have been provisioned to meet traffic and QoS requirements. The present invention improves service integrity by controlling the right for a service instance to use the network resources that have been provisioned for its class of service. Whenever a subscriber requests a service that requires a pre-determined bandwidth with a pre-determined QoS, one checks whether the virtual connection over which the service will be delivered to the subscriber can convey the required bandwidth with the required QoS. According to the check outcome, the service is granted or denied to the subscriber. The present invention may further improve the usage of the network resources. This second object is achieved by adapting the configuration of the access network according to the real traffic demand. <IMAGE>
