Abstract: Systems and methods for providing intelligent wireless access
systems are presented. A microcell cellular architecture is provided in which a
digital switch and controller are provided in conjunction with a number of
intelligent radio ports. Each of the intelligent radio ports provides at least one voice
channel to both the microcell and to the traditional wireless macrocell. Calls placed
within the microcell, however, do not access the traditional public macrocell. This
architecture enables the microcell to be easily integrated into an existing wire-based
system such that calls placed to the wire-based system are simultaneously
forwarded to a cell phone (thereby ringing at both phones using a single phone
number). If the call is answered by the cell phone within the confines of the
microcell (i.e., via an intelligent radio port rather than a conventional wireless base
station), the call is handled as a wire-based call and the type of phone used to
answer the call is transparent to the caller.

Abstract: Wellhead completion apparatus includes a wellhead member (11) having an upper supporting
shoulder (24) and a lower landing shoulder (26). A running tool (30) is releasably connected to a
tubing hanger (36) for lowering and landing the tubing hanger (36) on the wellhead member (11).
A fluid coupling (66, 68, 70) is provided between the running tool (30) and the tubing hanger (36).
Another fluid coupling (17, 60, 84) is provided between the tubing hanger (36) and the wellhead

outer sleeve (46) of the running tool (30) is adapted for initial seating on upper supporting shoulder
(24) of the wellhead member (11). After the initial seating of sleeve (46) on upper supporting
shoulder (24), running tool (30) and tubing hanger (36) are moved downwardly relative to external
sleeve (46) for landing of the tubing hanger (36) onto the lower landing shoulder (26) of the wellhead
member (11). Hydraulic fluid is provided from the running tool (30) to the tubing hanger (36) during
lowering of the tubing hanger (36) as shown in Figure 5. Upon downward movement of tubing
hanger (36) after the seating of running tool sleeve (46) on upper supporting shoulder (24) the supply
of fluid is transferred from the tubing hanger (30) to the wellhead member (11) as shown in Figure
6. The auxiliary control fluid passage (62) to the running tool (30) is blocked by the wellhead ring
(17) defining the lower landing shoulder (26). An embodiment shown in Figures 7-9 permits a
wellhead ring (17A) which is secured to the wellhead member (11A) to be sealed by O-rings (76A,
78A) along planar surfaces (13A, 75A) about the control fluid passage (22A) in the wellhead member
(11A).

Abstract: The self-oscillation frequencies of injection-locked laser devices 5-1 through 5-M are preset to the frequency of the signal light to be transmitted by the optical add-drop device, and the self-oscillation frequencies of the injection-locked laser devices 6-1 through 6-N are preset to the frequency of the signal light to be branched by this device. Wavelength-division multiplexed signal light inputted from an input optical line 1 is split in an optical splitter 2 and inputted to the injection-locked laser devices. Signal light whose wavelength has been set for the injection-locked laser devices 5-1 through 5-M is amplified by these injection-locked laser devices 5-1 through 5-M and inputted to an optical combiner 10. Signal light whose wavelength has been set for the injection-locked laser devices 6-1 through 6-N is outputted to branching optical lines 8-1 through 8-N. Signal light outputted from inserting optical lines 9-1 through 9-L is inputted to the optical combiner 10 together with the signal light from the injection-locked laser devices 5-1 through 5-M and is outputted to an output optical line 11. It is thus possible to provide an optical add-drop device in which the wavelength and number of split or inserted signal light can be set as needed.

Abstract: The invention is a method and apparatus for controlling the vibration modes of a
vibratory rotation sensor (VRS) comprising a resonator and a housing which together serve
as the ground potential reference. The resonator has a surface with a conductive region and
the housing has a plurality of attached electrodes positioned opposing the conductive region
on the resonator. The parameters of the resonator standing-wave vibration pattern are
determined by feeding an ac sensing signal to the conducting region on the resonator and
obtaining one or more vibration signals while the electric potential of the conductive region
on the resonator is maintained within 100 millivolts of ground. Each vibration signal is a
replica of the ac sensing signal with amplitude modulation which is a periodic function of the
distance from a point in the conducting region of the surface of the resonator to an opposing
housing electrode. The frequency of the amplitude modulation is the vibration frequency of
the resonator. The parameters of the standing wave are determined from the vibration
signals, and these parameters are used in controlling the standing-wave parameters by
generating appropriate ac forcing voltages which are applied to the housing electrodes.

Abstract: A superconductor (12) is placed inside a non-metallic
cryostat (14) filled with a cooling medium to maintain the
superconductor (12) in a superconductive state. A foil
winding (16) is connected in series with the superconductor
(12) by current leads (13, 15) and the cryostat (14) is
placed inside the winding (16). The winding (16) has only a
few turns in order to provide low inductance and low magnetic
field when the superconductor (12) is carrying its normal
operating current. However in the event of a fault the
increase in electrical current in the line winding (16)
causes a magnetic field to be generated parallel to the
superconductor (12). The magnetic field generated exceeds the
critical magnetic field of the superconductor (12). The
magnetic field produced by the line winding (16) triggers the
superconductor (12) to the
resistive state.

Abstract: To improve access rate in disk processing, each of HDDs (6 and 7) is
partitioned into two drives, comprising an outer zone and an inner zone,
and each outer zone having a faster read/write access rate is called
"faster portion", whereas each inner zone having a slower read/write
access rate is called "slower portion". In accordance with a control
program in RAM (3), CPU (1) is caused to execute "mirroring" such that the
faster portion of one of HDDs (6,7) is paired with the slower portion of
the other one of HDDs (6,7). In so configuring, it is possible to execute
"mirroring" such that a difference between the access rates of the faster
zone of one of the disks and the slower zone of the other one of the
disks is always kept large. Thus, whenever one of the disks having a
faster access rate becomes ready earlier, it is possible to immediately
start the next read/write to this disk without waiting for completion of
the write to the other disk having a slower access rate, thereby to
improve access efficiency.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for deferring, or delaying, the throwing of
exceptions are disclosed. In one aspect of the present invention, an exception is
raised during an invocation of a first object within an object-based system. The
exception may be processed by catching the exception and making a first copy of the
exception. Making the first copy of the exception includes storing the first copy of
the exception in a dynamic memory. The first copy of the exception may then be
processed by creating a runtime copy of the exception that is stored on an execution
heap. The runtime copy of the exception may is then caught. The first copy of the
exception is deleted from the dynamic memory, and the caught runtime copy of the
exception is reprocessed. In one embodiment, processing the first copy of the
exception includes throwing the first copy of the exception as a system exception. In
such an embodiment, throwing the first copy of the exception as a system exception
causes the runtime copy of the exception to be created.
