Patent EP-1148680-A3 (EP)
Inventor: LEE HUNG
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 2001-04-09
Abstract: A protection switch architecture is disclosed for a digital cross-connect system
having a main controller, a command interface, and at least one digital signal processing
unit. The digital signal processing unit that includes one or more signal processing
service device and one or more signal processing protection devices that correspond to
the service devices. A unit controller includes the protection switch for switching signal
processing responsibilities between the service devices and the protection devices.
Advantageously, the protection switch is adapted to act independently of the main
controller in response to autonomous switching requests from the service devices by
completing all protection switching related to such protection requests without main
controller involvement. The protection switch also acts in response to manual switching
requests from the main controller. In preferred embodiments, the protection switch is
implemented in software by a protection manager object, one or more service objects
associated with the service devices, and one or more protection objects associated with
the protection devices. The foregoing objects may each include a main controller sub-object
residing in the main controller and a unit controller sub-object residing in the unit
controller.

Abstract: A turbine (16) includes three rows of airfoils (22 -28) which receive in sequence
hot combustion gases during operation. The third row airfoils (26, 28) are
clocked circumferentially relative to the first row airfoils (22, 24) for bathing the
third row airfoils with relatively cool wakes discharged from the first row airfoils
during the hottest running condition of the gas turbine engine being powered.
The third row airfoils therefore avoid the hottest temperature of the combustion
gases for reducing the cooling requirements thereof.

Abstract: A power electrical system is disclosed for a microturbine power generator (12, 14). The invention permits the microturbine to be started using an external DC power source (18). The DC voltage is converted to a variable DC voltage by means of a bi-directional buck-boost chopper circuit (30), DC bus (24) and a DC-to-AC converter (26). The DC-to-AC converter produces at its output a fixed voltage pattern whose frequency is gradually increased in concert with the DC voltage, to accelerate the microturbine from standstill to startup speed. Once the microturbine is started, the excitation is discontinued , and the DC bus (24) and DC-to-AC converter (26) are used to produce output AC power at a voltage level and frequency to match an electrical load (16).

Abstract: In the invention, a body frame 16 includes a head pipe 21
on which a front fork is mounted for turning movement, a
box-shaped box frame portion 51 extending obliquely
rearwardly downwards from the head pipe 21, a twin tube
portion 52. extending obliquely downwardly rearwards
separately on the left and right from a rear end of the
box frame portion 51 and having a smaller width in a
bicycle widthwise direction than the width of the box
frame portion 51, and a rear frame portion 53 extending
obliquely rearwardly downwards from the rear ends of the
twin tube portion 52 and having a greater width in the
bicycle widthwise direction than the width of the twin
tube portion 52. 
     The body frame can be formed such that it has a
high rigidity in the proximity of the head pipe but has a
low rigidity at a central portion of the body, and a high
load transmitted from the road surface to the head pipe
through the front wheel and the front fork can be
supported by the box frame portion. Further, since the
rear frame portion is formed with an increased width, a
twist of the swing arm can be suppressed, and a twist can
be generated readily at a central portion of the body
thereby to augment the steering performance of the
vehicle.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for bridging mobile phone networks with other telephone networks. A telephone network comprises multiple individually addressable telephone lines connected to telephones and to a gateway, which in turn is connected to one or more mobile phones and potentially to one or more landlines. When the gateway receives an inbound call from one of the mobile phones, or an outbound call from one or the telephones, the gateway applies routing rules to determine how to route the call. Routing may depend on a variety of factors, such as time of day, cost, the mobile phone receiving an inbound call. To help identify the mobile phone as the source of an inbound call, a distinctive ring may be selected. To account for differences in the mobile phone network and the telephone network, the gateway translates signals between the two networks.
