Abstract: A protective guide (1) for a cable is formed by connecting a plurality of links (2), each
of which is formed a pair of spaced, opposite, side plates (3) connected to each other by
connecting plates (6). Each side plate (3) includes a connecting rod (4) having a
flexible portion (4a) and an engagement portion (4b), and includes an opposite
connecting opening into which a connecting rod (4) of the adjacent side plate (3) is
fitted. The connecting rods (4) include flexible portions (4a) which bend to allow
adjacent links (2) to articulate relative to each other. The guide (1) avoids generation of
dust due to frictional rubbing of parts against one an other, reduces noise generated

Abstract: A vehicle air cleaner system 10 includes a cyclone chamber 14 and a variable inlet 30. The variable inlet 30 communicates airflow to the cyclone chamber 14 at a relatively constant velocity by varying an opening 32 in response to airflow which enters the inlet 12. During a relatively low airflow condition the variable inlet 30 directs airflow closer to a center of the cyclone chamber 14 which increase the angular velocity of the airflow by directing airflow toward smaller radii 42s within the cyclone chamber. During a relatively high airflow condition the variable inlet directs airflow toward the outer diameter of the cyclone chamber 14 and larger radii 42 L to assure an angular speed sufficient to separate out undesirable particles yet prevent an undesirable pressure drop across the air cleaner system 10. By varying communication of airflow to particular radii within the cyclone chamber 14, a relatively constant pressure drop across the air cleaner system 10 is provided regardless of airflow velocity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to apparatus and method for producing a
document verifiable for its forgery or alteration, and apparatus and method for
authenticating the document. A barcode is generated based on the information included
in the document, and also watermark is generated based on the information included in
the document. The generated barcode and watermark are combined, and the combined
barcode and watermark are inserted in the document so as to produce the document.
When authenticating the document, the document is detected so as to extract the
barcode inserted in the document and the information included in the extracted barcode
and the information included in the document are compared, and also the document is
detected so as to extract the watermark inserted in the document and the information
included in the extracted watermark and the information included in the document are
compared. According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent forgery or
alteration of the document produced on-line and off-line when such document is
distributed on-line or off-line. It is also possible to verify whether the document has
been forged or altered, and also to verify the forgery or alteration of the barcode itself.

Abstract: Network switching and/or routing devices can use switching fabrics that gather information about output port buffer status and distribute that information to various line cards for use in data frame congestion avoidance. The switching fabric can gather output buffer status information for all output ports and distribute that information to each line card in an efficient, in-band manner. Individual line cards can use the information to determine from which line card virtual output queue to dequeue data frames destined for the switching fabric. Line cards can also gather output buffer status information associated with line card queues used for receiving data from the switching fabric. Such data is used in a manner similar to the output buffer data from the switching fabric.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a fiber attachment including a hot pad and solder glass that attaches an optical fiber to the hot pad. The attached is formed by positioning the optical fiber over the hot pad and aligning the optical fiber. The optical fiber is then raised and solder glass preforms are positioned on the hot pad. Heat is applied to the glass preforms such that they melt. Once the preforms are melted, the optical fiber is lowered into the molten solder glass. The current is then removed and the solder glass solidifies as it cools to form an attachment between the optical fiber and the hot pad.
