Abstract: A compact endothermic catalytic reaction apparatus for converting hydrocarbon feedstock and methanol to useful gases, such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide, comprising a tubular endothermic catalytic reactor, a radiant combustion chamber and an annular convection section. Thus tubular endothermic catalytic reactor receives radiant energy from a metal fiber burner that is disposed within the radiant combustion chamber. Combustion products from the radiant chamber enter an annular convection section wherein heat is transferred by forced convection to the tubular endothermic catalytic reactor. The combination of radiant and convective heat transfer results in a compact design of high thermal efficiency.

Abstract: L'invention concerne l'augmentation de débits de données dans un système de communication (500) par fibre optique, sans que cela nécessite le remplacement, dans une liaison, de la fibre optique existante. On augmente le débit de canal en améliorant les composants et les circuits au niveau de la tête et du terminal d'une liaison de système de communication (500) par fibre optique. On augmente le débit global dans une liaison par fibre optique au delà des améliorations classiques de systèmes multiplexés en longueur d'onde (WDM), tout en évitant le remplacement des installations de fibres existantes. On réalise l'augmentation au niveau du débit du système en utilisant des techniques de modulation de pointe (502) pour coder de plus grandes quantités de données dans le spectre réfléchi d'un canal, ce qui permet d'augmenter l'efficacité spectrale de chaque canal. Ce nouveau procédé d'augmentation de la capacité de transmission par amélioration de la tête et du terminal du système en vue d'obtenir une plus grande efficacité spectrale et, par conséquent, un meilleur débit, permet d'éviter le remplacement des installations de fibres existantes. Des techniques de modulation complexes (502) à efficacité spectrale peuvent être supportées par des circuits d'interface ayant un niveau accru de capacité de traitement de signaux en vue à la fois de coder des bits multiples en un symbole transmis et de décoder les données d'origine à partir des symboles reçus.

More particularly, a distributed, locally determined, channel access protocol that adapts to load, avoids interference and controls access by a group of nodes to a set of shared channels is disclosed. Shared channel space is divided into a number of communication slots that are repeated at a predetermined interval. Permission to use a slot to communicate between any two nodes is dynamically adjusted by the channel access protocol, which locally: (i) estimates load to neighboring nodes; (ii) allocates or deallocates slot usage to adapt to load and avoid interference; and (iii) asserts and advertises slot usage within an interference area about itself.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to synchronizing notification messages transmitted to egress control units to allow an even distribution of the messages. A plurality of packet buffer units (PBUs) may concurrently transmit notification messages to a particular egress control unit in response to packets received from a plurality of ingress control units. Each PBU includes a notification queue associated with the egress control unit for storing notifications generated by the PBU. Notifications in the notification queues are ordered according to the ingress units triggering the notifications. Notifications in each notification queue are retrieved via a time-driven pointer that is initialized to a different start entry position for the notification queues in each PBU. This allows each PBU to transmit, at any given time, notifications to the egress control unit that are associated with a different ingress unit. The receiving egress control unit maintains a plurality of memory units for concurrently storing of a portion of the received notification messages based on their associated ingress input units.

Abstract: In a device adapted to dissuade a dog from barking, there is provided a reservoir of spray material associated with a collar which encircles the dog's neck. The reservoir includes at least one wall member defining an interior volume for the receipt of spray material therein. The reservoir includes a first dimension (i.e., a centerline) which lies within the median sagittal plane of an erect dog which is facing forward, thereby orienting one portion of the interior of the reservoir vertically lowermost. An exit port is provided for the transport of spray material from the interior to the exterior of the reservoir. A semi-rigid, lengthwise substantially non-compressible, conduit having a first end thereof connected in fluid flow communication with the exit port, extends from the exit port and terminates at its opposite and open end at the vertically lowermost interior portion of the reservoir when the present appliance is mounted at a location on the collar beneath the lower jaw of the dog. The length of the conduit is chosen to exceed the straight-line distance between the exit port and the vertically lowermost portion of the reservoir by an amount sufficient to provide for wedging of the conduit against at least one interior wall of the reservoir opposite the exit port and preferably opposite to terminal open end of the conduit.
