Abstract: The present invention relates to a telecommunication network and method to increase the traffic transmission capacity of switched star or mesh telecommunication networks. In a mesh/star-shaped network the endpoints in the network are connected, at which a ring-shaped network is created. When the capacity in the ring network is not sufficient, said ring network is tied off, creating two ring networks. Communication between the ring networks is made via channel allocation devices. Round the in this way tied off ring networks an outer ring network is further created. Communication between the different networks is made over channel allocation devices. The traffic direction in the different parts of the network moreover can be switched, at which the sensitivity to disturbances in the network is reduced.

Abstract: The method for attaching a solder foil or strip (1) to contact plates (6) is characterised by the fact that electric resistance welding is used to this end. Also claimed are a resultant contact plate and an intermediate product incorporating such plates. The area of the working electrode face is approximately equal to the area of the surface to be joined to the solder strip. The electrode is a spot-welding electrode. The electrode working face can be profiled with a waffle pattern. The profiling can include machine-readable markings. The remaining solder strip is separated from the contact plates (6) after the welding process. Alternatively, separation takes place in the welding tool before the welding process. The solder strip can be provided with a series of traction holes (5). After attachment of the contact plates the strip - whose thickness varies from 0.1 to 0.5 mm - can be coiled or, as an alternative, cut into sections and loaded into magazines. In the case where the solder strip (1) is narrower than the contact plate, the traction holes are located in zones between those reserved for the contact plates.

Abstract: An electronic stimulation system is used to control pain over multiple regions of a patient's body. The system has one or more percutaneous leads, each having multiple electrodes, implanted within the patient's epidural space parallel to the axis of the spinal cord. The leads are connected to either a totally implanted system or a radio frequency system. The system is able to treat pain over different regions of a patient's body by "simultaneously" stimulating the patient with at least three different stimulation settings. "Simultaneous" stimulation involves sequentially stimulating the patient with the multiple stimulation settings such that the patient receives the cumulative effect of each stimulation setting, while not perceiving the transition from one stimulation setting to another.

Abstract: A method for providing narrowband-related service features to subscribing broadband lines (131,133) comprises establishing a composite voice path interconnecting a narrowband server (119) and the subscribing broadband line (131) via a broadband switching fabric (106). Particularly, a call set-up signal is received in a broadband call processor (104), converted to narrowband signaling format and extended to a designated narrowband server (119). Responsive to receipt of the call set-up signal, the designated narrowband server (119) establishes a narrowband voice path interconnecting a narrowband network element (177) to a synchronous-asynchronous converter (116). Subsequently, the broadband call processor (104) establishes a broadband segment interconnecting the subscribing broadband line (131) with the synchronous-asynchronous converter (116). The broadband segment corresponds to the narrowband voice path to form a composite voice path. The composite voice path is used by the designated narrowband server (119) to provide narrowband-related service features to the subscribing broadband line (131). After a call in which narrowband-related features may be invoked has been disconnected, the composite voice path is released.

Abstract: A guidance module for an underground horizontal boring assembly. The module
determines the pitch angle of the boring tool independent of roll using a single accelerometer
sensor. The accelerometer sensor has a single sensitive axis which is aligned parallel to, and
preferably coaxial with, the longitudinal axis of the boring tool. The accelerometer sensor is
calibrated to obtain a temperature offset and a gain compensating gain factor. Data samples are
read from the accelerometer sensor while the boring tool is rotating. The temperature is read
from the temperature sensor. The data samples from the accelerometer sensor and the
temperature from the temperature sensor are transmitted to a processor. The processor applies
simple average filtering to the accelerometer data samples to get an average result, and adjusts the
average result for gain. The average result is adjusted for the temperature offset and for the gain
compensating gain factor. The average result then can be adjusted for an optional roll angle
offset. The pitch angle is determined either from a lookup table or from the arcsin value of the
quantity of the average result minus the temperature offset divided by the gain compensating gain
factor.

Abstract: A positive displacement pump includes a deformable
hollow member for delivering a subject liquid by a cycle of
contraction and restoration of its volume, a casing which
contains the hollow member, and a pressurizing device for
supplying and evacuating a hydraulic liquid in an annular
space between the casing and the hollow member. The
supplying of hydraulic fluid causes the contraction of the
hollow member, and the evacuating of the hydraulic fluid
causes the restoration (expansion) of the hollow member. A
guide structure contacts and deforms the outer
circumferential portions of the hollow member as the hollow
member continues to expand to determine an initial
contraction position of the hollow member. That is, a
particular direction of contraction of the hollow member is
set by the guide structure. Drive means periodically vary
the circumferential position of the guide means relative to
the hollow member to vary the initial contraction position
of the hollow member. Consequently, stresses due to
contraction and restoration are dispersed in the hollow
member.
