Abstract: A method of encrypting data is described in which a random
variable (6A-6D) is generated in binary digital form. A
first set of data (8A-8J) representing a plaintext message
in binary digital form is combined with the random variable
(6A-6D) to generate a second data set (9A-9J) in binary
digital form. The data bits representing the random
variable (6A-6D) are inserted into the second data set (9A-9J)
according to a first predetermined set of rules and the
order of the data bits in the second data set (9A-9J) is
altered according to a second predetermined set of rules.
A third data set (17A-17N) for transmission as a ciphertext
message is thus generated.

forming of the pre-assembly and later processing; rolling the pre-form to a
required thickness and length as a flat pre-form; hoop-rolling the preform to a
required thickness and a required length; welding the assembly; ring rolling to the
pre-form to a desired inner diameter, ring-rolling or metal spinning the pre-form to
produce the proper wall contour and removing the sacrificial material to open the
cooling channels.

Abstract: A circuit breaker having superior shock and vibration resistance is provided.
The circuit breaker has a handle pivoted from an off position to an on position. The
circuit is closed by bringing a movable contact point into contact with a fixed contact
point via lever mechanisms. The circuit breaker has an electromagnetic coil which
holds the movable iron piece in a non-attraction position away from an
electromagnetic trip coil until power is applied to the electromagnetic trip coil. When
the movable iron piece is attracted to the electromagnetic trip coil, the lever
mechanisms are released from the constrained state, and the movable contact point is
separated from the fixed contact point to thereby open the circuit, and the handle
returns to the off position in conjunction with the lever mechanisms.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for detecting air/cladding and core/cladding
interfaces of blanks (13) used to produce optical waveguide fibers are
provided. A beam of coherent light (30) is scanning across the blank (13) and
spatial light intensity patterns produced thereby (Figure 5) are detected and
analyzed. Air/cladding interfaces correspond to a decrease in the width of a
unimodal spatial light intensity pattern as the beam moves towards the center
of the blank (Figures 5A and 5B). Core/cladding interfaces correspond to the
onset of an at least bimodal spatial light intensity pattern as the beam moves
towards the center of the blank (Figures 5D and 5E). By rotating the blank and
repeating the measurement process at two or more angular positions,
concentricity and ellipticity values for a blank can be determined.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a data transfer method and a
system in a computer network to which are connected a number of
computers, more specifically to a data transfer method of stream data
continuous in time series and a system for it. The present invention
makes a request for change of rate from the client 470 in correspondence
to the state of vacancy of said receiving buffer 412, and changes the
send rate on the server 400 based on that request for change of rate.
This prevents any overflow of stream data from the receiving buffer
412. Furthermore, based on the re-transfer request issued from the
client 470 in correspondence to the loss of stream data received by said
packet receiving means 410, the storing means on the server 400 sends
out data corresponding to the lost data concerned. This makes it
possible to compensate for the loss in case of occurrence of any data
loss.

Abstract: The BER is used as a parameter for evaluating the performance of
an optical transmission system. Performance of optical systems is also
defined by the Q factor, which indicates the signal-to-noise ratio of the
electric signal regenerated by the receiver. In the absence of distortion, Q
is univocally determined by the BER. Q is calculated using an estimated
BER measured with the path under normal conditions of operation, and a
distortion-free Q is determined in the same operating point of the system.
The distortion penalty for the path is obtained by comparing the measured
Q with the distortion free Q. In addition, the distortion penalty for a
transmittter-receiver pair, and a distortion penalty for a transmission link
between the transmitter and receiver may be determined.
