Inventor: OPRESCU FLORIN
IPC: G06F13/00
Filed: 1993-12-16
Abstract: A node identification system is described for use in a computer system in which the various components of the system are interconnected via nodes on a communications bus. Once the topology of the nodes has been resolved into an acyclic directed graph, each node may be assigned a non-predetermined unique address. Each node having a plurality of ports has an a priori assigned priority for port selection. Each child node connected to a parent is allowed to respond in the predetermined sequence depending upon the port through which it is connected to its parent.      Each node in the graph will announce its presence according to its location in the graph. Each receives an address incremented from the previous addresses assigned, thereby insuring uniqueness. The same mechanism may be implemented to allow each node in turn to broadcast information or the bus concerning the parameters of its local host. Likewise, additional information may be conveyed from each node concerning connections to other nodes thereby allowing a host system to generate a map of the resolved topology including any information about disabled links which may be used for redundancy purposes.

Patent CA-2426857-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PURSE CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H04J14/02
Filed: 2001-10-12
Abstract: An optical network has adjacent pairs of nodes in a ring connected by a working optical fiber or fibers and by a protection optical fiber or fibers of lower bandwidth. Each node comprises an optical switching arrangement for switching signals from at least one external input to the node onto a protection fiber, each node further comprising a detector for detecting signal failure or degradation on the or each incoming working fiber. The optical switching is controlled in dependence on the detected signal failure or degradation. An optically switched protected ring configuration is thereby provided with shared protection allocation, for example 1:n protection. The sharing of protection bandwidth between greater bandwidth working fibers improves the fiber efficiency. This requires the signals on the working fibers to be allocated a level of service, so that premium channels are protected against cable failure because they have the lower protection bandwidth allocated to them.

Title: Method for detaching towable device from ski lift and detaching member
Inventor: AALTONEN ESA
IPC: B61B1/00
Filed: 2002-03-27
Abstract: The object of the invention is a releasing method and a releasing member for releasing a towed device from a cableway at a desired point without an assisting person or without stopping the lift. According to the method a towing member (2) connected to the towing rope (10) of the towing apparatus (5) of the cableway (4) is released from the clutch member (1) in the towed device by changing the vertical towing angle (R) between the towing member ( 2) and the clutch member (1) at the release point. In order to change the angle , a releasing member (3), developed for the method and mounted at the release point, is used, whereby the member has a vertical section (V) arranged intersectingly on the towing line at a height, which allows the towed device to pass below it. A safety system (9) can be connected to the releasing member, which system results in the stopping of the lift in the case that th e load in the towing direction acting on the horizontal portion (V) exceeds th e allowed value. By using this releasing method the dangers which are created if the release would occur too early or too late, are avoided.

Title: Compositions and methods for use against acne-induced inflammation and dermal matrix-degrading enyzmes
Inventor: VOORHEES JOHN J
IPC: A61K31/00
Filed: 2002-06-06
Abstract: Acne-affected skin has been found to be accompanied by the presence of matri x- degrading enzymes such as MMPs and neutrophil elastase, induction of neutrophils, and a reduction in procollagen biosynthesis. This invention treats scarring and inflammation accompanying acne by administering, topical ly or systemically, at least one of (I) an inhibitor of the matrix degrading enzymes and (ii) a cytokine inhibitor that alleviates inflammation and thus also alleviate neutrophil infiltration. Alleviating the matrix degradation a nd renormalizing procollagen biosynthesis allows for reduced inflammation and better natural repair of acne-affected skin. Inhibiting cytokines alleviates induction of MMPs in resident skin cells, and also alleviates inflammation with its concommitant induction of neutrophils from the blood stream bringin g MMPs and elastase into the acne lesion. Dimishing the presence of matrix- degrading enzymes in the acne lesion reduces imperfect repair of the skin an d thus decreases scarring in acne-affected skin.
