Abstract: La compensation d'une charge de batterie est mise en oeuvre au moyen de modules (70) pouvant être connecté de façon décalée entre des paires de batteries (31) dans une série de chaîne de batteries connectées entre elles. Chaque module (70) est normalisé et possède une structure identique aux autres modules. Les modules (70) peuvent être fabriqués pour produire une répartition de charge unidirectionnelle dans la chaîne d'une batterie plus chargée vers une batterie moins chargée et d'une dernière batterie moins chargée dans la chaîne vers une première batterie plus chargée dans la chaîne. Ils peuvent également être fabriqués pour produire une répartition de charge bidirectionnelle du haut vers le bas dans la chaîne des batteries (N). Les modules compensateur de charge (36) sont basés à l'avant et réduisent le courant de charge au moment où les tensions des deux batteries auxquelles les modules sont reliés compensent. Un dispositif de commutation contrôlable (71) est relié en série à un enroulement primaire (79) entre un terminal au côté à haut potentiel et un premier terminal intermédiaire du module. Une diode (72) est reliée en série à un enroulement secondaire (80) entre un terminal au côté à bas potentiel et un second terminal intermédiaire du module.

Granted: 2007-07-31
Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for forming lines of weakness in an automotive trim piece (16, 16A, 16B) so as to enable formation of an airbag deployment opening in the trim piece. A  cutting beam (12), such as a laser is directed at the trim piece surface to be scored and a sensor emits a sensing beam, and a beam combining device (22) receives both the sensor beam and the laser beam and causes downstream beam segments to be colinear with each other as they impinge the trim piece surface. The scoring (40, 40A, 40B) is thereby able to be carried out in a single pass, and is precise, repeatable and independent of cutting depth, angle of cutting, scoring patterns, material inconsistency, material color, and surface grain variability.

Title: Routing engine for telecommunications network
Inventor: HOLLMAN BRETT P
IPC: H04L12/16
Filed: 2003-01-21
Granted: 2014-03-18
Abstract: A system for automated installation of a communication line using an optimal route between a source location and a destination location is disclosed. The system includes a routing engine providing an automated design process for rendering the optimal route. The routing engine utilizes a routing algorithm to select the optimal route from a graph of capacity links defining a plurality of possible routes between the source and destination locations. If, at any time during the design process, the optimal route or capacity links defining the optimal route are detected as unavailable for any reason, the routing engine re-initiates the design process and thereafter selects a new optimal route based upon a new capacity graph built without the previously unavailable capacity link. Once designed, the available optimal route is provided to a command and control engine, which, in turn, manages the installation of the communication line using the optimal route. The command and control engine manages the process for assigning the optimal route in the provisioning system.

Abstract: A network-based call center for managing a company's interactions with its customers used resources (112, 114) supplied by an application service provider (116). The call center stores sensitive information on a database (166) within the company's private network (110), behind a firewall. When a call center resource (112, 114) or another client or server obtains new sensitive information, the resource (112, 114) writes the information to the database (166) and then erases the information. When a resource (112, 114) needs sensitive information stored on the database (166), the resource (112, 114) requests the information from the database (166), uses it, and then erases the information. The call center further provides a browser-based tool (146), running on the Internet (140), for enabling non-technical personnel of the company to provision a call center from the resources (112, 114) of the application service provider (116).

Abstract: Techniques for enhancing security in networking environments, whereby a cryptographic node (306) negotiates a set of security parameters (a "security association") with an end node (301), on behalf of a routing node (an "edge router" 303), and then securely distributes the negotiated security parameters to the edge router (303) and/or to other edge routers (304) in the network.  The disclosed negotiation techniques allow the end node (301) to physically move during the negotiation, yet still establish the security association, and the secure distribution enables the end node (301) to move seamlessly through the network yet continue communicating securely. The disclosed techniques may also be used advantageously in other environments, such as clustered server environments, and allow an end node (301) to communicate with multiple routing (303, 304) or server nodes for a variety of reasons (for example, during a hot-swap to a different server during fail-over or as a result of load balancing).
