Abstract: An Al alloy poppet valve is used in an internal
combustion engine. The poppet valve comprises a valve stem
and a valve head at the end of the valve stem. The valve
head has a tapered valve face, which is engaged on a valve
seat when an inlet port is closed by the poppet valve. The
valve face has a thermal hardened layer on the surface end
an inner alloy layer, thereby increasing mechanical
strength to provide high durability and reliability.

Abstract: A method and associated apparatus for determining the bandwidth or
transmission rate of a desired type of cell in a cell stream (200) occurring over a digital
communications network connection (106) during a time interval between occurrences
of a first and second predetermined event. The transmission rate of the desired cell,
such as an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Available Bit Rate (ABR) user cell may
be measured only when certain conditions exist, eliminating unnecessary calculations
from being performed. Furthermore, the cell bandwidth may be determined
immediately upon occurrence of the predetermined events, providing real-time
feedback and analysis to test and measurement and/or network nodes. In an ATM
ABR environment, for example, this enables the implementing system to immediately
compare the actual cell transmission rate calculated in accordance with the present
invention to the rate at which the cell stream (200) was transmitted by a source node
(112), as identified by a resource management (RM) control cell (202) in the cell
stream. Such information may then be immediately provided to the virtual or actual
source nodes (112) in the network in a backward-going RM cell for subsequent use in
determining the transmission rate of a future cell stream. One implementation is in an
event-based cell bandwidth determinator (302) for determining a transmission rate of a
first type of cell (204) in a cell stream (200) occurring over a digital communications
network connection (106) during a time interval between an occurrence of first and
second events, such as successive occurrence of a second type cells (202) occurring in
the cell stream. In one implementation, the cell stream is an ATM available bit rate
ABR cell stream. Here, the first type of cell is a user cell (204) and the second type of
cell is a resource management (RM) cell (202). The connection may be one or more
virtual channels or paths in the ATM network.

thereon. The conducting layer includes a plurality of parallel row electrodes having edges
separated by insulating material. A first polymer layer[16, 160] constructed from one or more
thin films overlies the parallel row electrodes. An insulating layer[14] overlies the polymer
layer, the insulating layer[14] having windows[15] therein defining pixels for the display[10,40].
The insulating layer[14] overlies the edges of the row electrodes while providing access to the
first polymer layer[16, 160] in the area of the pixels. A second conducting layer[32] overlies the
insulating layer[14] and includes a plurality of separated column electrodes. Each column
electrode crosses a plurality of the row electrodes and is located over the windows[15] in the
insulating layer[14] at points defining the pixels. The second conducting layer[32] is preferably
constructed by depositing a layer of photoresist over the insulating layer[14] and patterning the
layer of photoresist to provide openings extending therethrough. The openings are wider in the
portion of the layer nearest to the insulating layer[14]. This layer acts as a shadow mask for
depositing a layer of conducting material. In one embodiment of the invention, a second
polymer layer[161] is located between the insulating layer[14] and the second conducting
layer[32]. The insulating layer[14] is preferably constructed from a layer of photoresist that is
baked to cross-link the photoresist. The polymer layers include an electroluminescent material,
which is preferably based on a polyfluorene.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un commutateur d'acheminement optique, qui assure une fonction de commutation indépendante de la polarisation et à faible diaphonie entre un port d'entrée optique (500) et plusieurs ports de sortie dans une large plage fonctionnelle de températures et le longueurs d'ondes. Les signes optiques apparaissant au niveau du port d'entrée (500) sont décomposés spatialement en deux faisceaux à polarisation orthogonale par un élément d'acheminement dépendant de la polarisation (par exemple un élément biréfringent ou un diviseur de faisceau polarisé) (30). Au-delà de ce point, un réseau de commutateurs optiques est placé le long des trajets optiques des faisceaux lumineux. Chacun de ces commutateurs optiques comprend: (1) un rotateur de polarisation (100) qui commande de façon commutable la polarisation des faisceaux lumineux d'entrée, pour que les deux faisceaux émergents soient polarisés soit verticalement soit horizontalement, en fonction de l'état de commande du dispositif; et (2) un élément d'acheminement (301) dépendant de la polarisation, qui achemine spatialement la paire de faisceaux lumineux pour assurer un déplacement physique sur la base de leur état de polarisation. L'étage final pour chaque port de sortie dans le réseau consiste en un alignement de rotateurs de polarisation (90n) qui modifie la polarisation d'au moins l'un des faisceaux lumineux, pour que les faisceaux lumineux acquièrent une polarisation orthogonale. Enfin, un élément d'acheminement dépendant de la polarisation (par exemple un élément biréfringent) (60) intercepte les deux faisceaux à polarisation orthogonale et les recombine pour les faire sortir par le port de sortie sélectionné du réseau.

IPC: H04W36/14

Abstract: Inter-frequency handoffs in a CDMA or other wireless communication system are
controlled using a noise-limited coverage trigger metric which is able to distinguish
between same-frequency cell boundaries and other-frequency cell boundaries in the system.
The trigger metric may be generated as a function of an average signal-to-noise measure
for pilot signals received at a mobile station of the system and a linear sum of the signal-to-noise
measures. The signal-to-noise measures may be generated in the mobile station and
included in messages transmitted from the mobile station to one or more base stations of
the system. The trigger metric is used to control a handoff from a current frequency to a
new frequency in an ongoing call. The trigger metric may alternatively be based on a
measure of mobile receive power alone. Other aspects of the invention reduce
unnecessary searching for a new frequency and decrease the likelihood of "ping-ponging"
from a current frequency to a new frequency by providing additional checks in the handoff
process. For example, receive power and pilot signal-to-noise measures may be generated
at a mobile station for both current and new frequencies. The mobile station then
continues to operate at the current frequency as long as certain predetermined threshold
conditions based on the measures are satisfied.
