IPC: H04L12/44
Filed: 2001-06-08
Abstract: The device has equipment connection nodes at network branches, which are networked via connecting nodes with arrangements for detecting the passing data direction and direction-dependent distribution of arriving data that prevent data arriving over a branch from being coupled back into that branch. At least one connection node detects the incoming data direction and couples the bi-directional data network branch to the two unidirectional lines. The device has a unidirectional data input and data output on the equipment side and a connection for a bi-directional data line on the data line side. Connection nodes (13) for equipment (14-20) are provided at data network branches (21-32) and branches are networked via connecting nodes (11), which have arrangements for detecting the direction of passing data and arrangements for direction-dependent distribution of arriving data that prevent data arriving over a branch from being coupled back into that branch. At least one connection node has an arrangement for detecting the direction of incoming data and for coupling the bi-directional data network branch with the two unidirectional data lines.
Patent EP-1213904-A3 (EP)
Inventor: JENKINS MICHAL D
IPC: H04W4/029
Filed: 2001-07-12
Abstract: The present invention is essentially a method and system
for leaving and retrieving messages at specific coordinate
way points within a commercial mobile radio
service (CMRS) provider network. Users carry or transport
interface devices for communicating over the network
and are able to record and view messages at specific
coordinate locations while traveling in the network.
The location of the device is calculated by the
device or by the network while the device is powered on
and in within the physical boundaries of the network,
or through a combination of both. Messages can be made
available to network subscribers when their interface
devices come within an area centered about a physical
coordinate location. Personalized messages can also be
left by subscribers at any coordinate point within the
boundaries of the network. The invention can also be
used to facilitate access of information about an asset
when a technician comes within a physical proximity
threshold relative to said asset.

Abstract: A device for mixing of particulate material
comprises a conical mixing vessel having a vertical axis,
which vessel narrows in a downward direction and in which
vessel at least one vertical mixing shaft is rotatable. A
number of radial elements project from the mixing shaft,

more upwards movement, so that the intermediate layer is
subjected to strong shearing forces that promotes mixing.
A chopper is mounted in the top of the said vessel for
chopping material in an upper portion of the vessel,
