Title: Automated mass calling detection using ccs7 message parameters
Inventor: CLERMONT NORMAND
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1995-12-05
Abstract: In a telephone network having a number of telephone switching offices which have CCS7 signalling capabilities and wherein each switching office is linked to STPs  (Signalling Transfer  Points),  or  other  switching  offices  with  CCS7 signalling links,  a method of detecting mass calling events using CCS7 signalling data is disclosed.  Each signalling link connecting a switch is monitored.   For each call, an Initial Address  Message  sent  from  an  originating  switch  to  a terminating switch is identified.  The IAM is then temporarily stored in storage means.   When the occurrence of a release message  indicative  of  an  unsuccessful  call  attempt  is detected,  an  identification  of  which  of  the  stored  IAMs corresponds  to  the  release message  is  made.    A count  is computed  for  each  directory  (DN)  having  an  IAM  with  a corresponding release message indicative of an unsuccessful call  attempt  such  that mass  calling  events  directed  to  a directory number can be detected.

Abstract: A bottoms fraction of fuels hydrocracking which boils above about 316 °C (600 °F) and contains at least about 10 wt% aromatics is converted to a reduced aromatics lube base stock product over a catalyst comprising a crystalline material which exhibits unusually large sorption capacity demonstrated by its benzene adsorption capacity of greater than about 15 grams benzene/100 grams anhydrous crystal at 7 kPa (50 torr) and 25 °C and a hydrogenation-dehydrogenation functionality, preferably palladium, under high pressure conditions sufficient to reduce the aromatics content to about 10 wt.%. The bottoms fraction is dewaxed prior to high pressure hydroprocessing over a catalyst comprising HZSM-5 to reduce the pour point of the fraction to -7 °C  (about 20 °F). Typically, the bottoms fraction is produced in a moderate pressure fuels hydrocracking process over a bifunctional amorphous catalyst

Title: Matrix Relay
Inventor: SHIMOMURA TSUTOMU
IPC: H01H67/24
Filed: 1996-03-12
Abstract: A matrix relay is formed with a plurality of latching relays arranged in a matrix and mounted on a base of an electrically insulative material. Each of the latching relays comprises an excitation coil, permanent magnet, a pair of first and second fixed contacts, and an armature carrying a pair of first and second movable springs each providing movable contacts. The armature is magnetically coupled to the excitation coil so as to be movable in response to energization of the coil by current of selective polarity between close and open positions of the fixed and movable contacts. A plurality of the armatures of the latching relays arranged in a row of the matrix are assembled into a single armature block to be mounted on the base as a single unit. The armature block comprises a single pair of first and second supporting members made of an electrically conductive material. All of the first movable springs and all of the second movable springs of the latching relays of the armature block are connected respectively to the first and second supporting members mechanically and electrically, so that two row paths for electrical signals common to the latching relays arranged in the row of the matrix are provided. This simplification of the structure and electric circuit of the matrix relay would be useful to small-size the matrix relay without complicated fabrication process.

Title: Cdma rake receiver with sub-chip resolution
Inventor: KOSTIC ZORAN
IPC: H04B1/7115
Filed: 1996-04-11
Abstract: A rake receiver for use in direct-sequence code-division multiple-access communication systems employs a novel channel estimator capable of resolving multipath components spaced closer than a chip interval of the direct-sequence signature sequence.  The estimator utilizes a constrained iterative deconvolution technique which employs projection onto convex sets (POCS).  In a matched filter rake receiver embodiment, the delay Tsc between two taps of a delay line is smaller than the duration Tc of a chip of pseudo-random sequence.  A rake receiver constructed in this manner is capable of detecting signals that have propagated through multipath channels and that have path components spaced closer than one chip of the signal sequence (e.g. closer than the inverse of the signal bandwidth).

Title: Infusion catheter with uniform distribution of fluids
Inventor: WANG JAMES C
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 1994-12-09
Abstract: This invention is an infusion catheter (10) including an elongated catheter body (12), and an infusion section (18) at its distal end (16) for delivery of therapeutic fluid to bodily passages. The infusion section (18, 60) includes an outer tube (32) and an inner tube (38) concentric with the outer tube, each tube having a multiplicity of ports (48, 50) there through. The inner tube (38) delimits a central, fluid delivery lumen (42). The inner tube (38) is uniformly spaced apart from the outer tube (32) to provide an annular passageway (46), the radial depth (44) of the passageway being sufficient to permit fluid flow there within. Each of the ports (50) through the outer tube (32) provides fluid between the annular passageway (46) and the exterior of the catheter, while each of the ports (48) through the inner tube (38) provides fluid between the central lumen (42) and the annular passageway (46). Thus, therapeutic fluid can flow (52) from the central lumen through the annular passageway to the catheter exterior.
