Abstract: A system and method are disclosed that allow a navigation system that uses a geographic database to also use the data in traffic messages broadcast by a traffic broadcast system. One aspect of a present system and method includes the formation, storage, and use of location reference data records in a geographic database used by a navigation system. These location reference data records identify certain other kinds of data records that represent physical geographic features, such as data records that represent segments of roads, as being associated with certain location reference numbers. These location reference records may be included in a geographic database installed in the vehicle or may be provided to vehicles via a wireless communication link. Another aspect of a present system and method includes the formation, storage, and use of one or more indices that relate location reference numbers used by a traffic broadcast system to location reference records in a geographic database used by the navigation system. Another aspect of a present system and method is the formation, storage, and use of data that identify, for each location reference number, the immediately previous and the immediately next location reference number. Still another aspect of a present system and method includes the programming, and methods of use thereof, that query the geographic database and return the data entities associated with certain identified location reference numbers. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus for treating tumors utilizing an electric field in which a voltage generator generates brief voltage pulses applied to electrodes connected to a measurement unit. The electrodes are secured at a restricted region of a human or an animal and form electric fields in the tissue between the electrodes. The measurement unit determines the impedance between the electrodes which is substantially determined by the electric properties of the tissue between the electrodes. A registration and calculator device forms a control unit which, based on the impedance determined by the measurement unit, controls the output voltage of the voltage generator such that the electric field which is formed in the tissue has a constant predetermined value and realizes a peroration of cell membranes in the tissue which permits passage of treatment substances fed to the patient.

Abstract: A self-aligning, sealing assembly in accordance with the present invention includes a sealing apparatus and at least one preloading device. The sealing assembly is mounted in machinery which has a rotating shaft and a stationary member with an inner surface which is spaced from and surrounds a shaft. A slot is located in and extends around the inner surface of the stationary member. The slot has an upstream surface, a downstream surface, and an outer surface. The sealing apparatus is adjustably disposed in the slot and has an inner surface, an outer surface, an upstream surface and a downstream surface. Labyrinth seal teeth extend radially inward from the inner surface of the sealing apparatus. Each tooth is radially spaced from the shaft to form a non-contact seal. A space between the outer surface of the ring and the inner surface of the slot is designed to accommodate radial movement of the ring resulting from radial movement of the shaft. The preloading device has first and second ends, with the first end abutting the upstream surface of the slot and the second end abutting an opposing surface of the sealing apparatus. The preloading device ensures sufficient frictional forces between the ring and the slot to support the weight of the sealing apparatus when an insufficient pressure difference exists.

Abstract: A packet network is arranged into a hierarchy, having one organization-level portion (CS, P, R 2 ) and three site-level portions (S 1 , S 2 , S 3 ). By using forwarding computers and assigning multicast addresses in respect of each portion, the total number of multicast addresses required to send multicast messages to all possible subsets of potential recipients is reduced. This alleviates routers in the network of the burden associated with storing and processing a large amount of multicast addresses.

Title: A flushing apparatus for hydraulic single-acting push cylinders
Inventor: PAT BYRNE
IPC: F15B15/00
Filed: 2021-06-25
Abstract: A flushing apparatus is for cleaning internal surfaces of hydraulic cylinders. Clamps (1, 2, 3) support two parallel workpiece cylinders (12) to be flushed, with versatility as to size of the workpiece cylinders. A rig cylinder (14) having a piston (17) connected by a telescopic unit (15, 19) to a pusher (16) is mounted in-between the workpiece cylinders in use, so that the pusher can push back the extended pistons of the workpiece cylinders if they are of the single-acting or plunger type. A pump (208) pumps flushing liquid into a flushing liquid supply linked (PA, PB) to the rig cylinder and having couplers for connection to a port (12P) of each workpiece cylinder (12). A controller (213) directs pumping of flushing liquid to the workpiece cylinders (12) and to the rig cylinder in tandem so that the workpiece cylinders are actuated by the flushing liquid and the rig cylinder pusher (16) pushes the workpiece piston back to a retracted position causing flushing liquid to be directed out of the workpiece cylinder. The workpiece cylinder coupler is linked back to the reservoir (201) via a filter for return of cleaned flushing liquid to the reservoir for re-use. The reservoir liquid is cleaned off-line by an off-line filter circuit which draws liquid from an outlet (203) in the bottom of a funnel-shaped lower portion (202) of the reservoir (201).
