Abstract: A method and apparatus for establishing a secure tunnel through a proxy
between a user device and a secure server on a network are described. The
method comprises storing information retrievable by the proxy server, in the
event of the user device sending a request to the proxy server to access the
secure server during a current session with the proxy server. The information
indicates that the user device wishes to access the secure server. Thereafter,
the current session between the user device and the proxy server is terminated.
A tunnel is set through the proxy server between the user device and the secure
server (via a trusted domain proxy/firewall) in the event of the user device
sending a further request to the proxy server to access the secure server.

Abstract: A solar cell array having an exposed
electroactive portion is connected to a system power
supply through an insulation transformer, a ground-fault
interrupter is provided between the solar cell
array and the system power supply, and a ground-fault
detector is provided at the grounded line of the
solar cell array. A set current value at which the
ground-fault detector judges a ground-fault is larger
than an amount of a set current value at which the
ground-fault interrupter interrupts a circuit. The
insulation transformer is provided between the solar
cell array and the system power supply. Owing to
such structure, the present invention aims at the
simplification of environment-resistive coating
having a large ratio of cost of the solar cell, and
the simplification of insulating coating of members
that connect the solar cells in series and parallel,
and provides a photovoltaic power generation system
which does not stop by the leakage current of the
electroactive portion in connection with such
simplification of the environment-resistive coating
and insulating coating.

Abstract: An improved flat panel sound radiator assembly is
provided for reproducing high quality sound at volume levels
substantially higher than existing flat panel sound radiator
systems. The assembly includes a flat panel radiator having a
core sandwiched between facing skins. The core, which
preferably is a honeycomb core, and the skins are made of
materials that result in a substantially enhanced signal-to-noise
ratio and enhanced bass response when reproducing sound.
The flat panel radiator is disposed within a frame and the
peripheral edges of the radiator are movably coupled to the
frame with a compliant surround. An exciter, which may be a
traditional magnet structure, is mounted on and supported by a
bridge structure spaced from the inside face of the radiator
and is coupled to the radiator only through a voice coil
assembly. In use, the radiator produces sound through
distributed mode reproduction below a sound level threshold.
However, when large vibrations are imparted to the radiator
corresponding to high volume level or deep bass sounds, the
compliant surround accommodates pistonic motion of the entire
radiator panel to produce these sounds in a substantially
pistonic mode.

Abstract: A reduced-size bipolar supply voltage generator is
disclosed which produces positive and negative voltages
from a unipolar power source (16). A single inductor (10)
is employed for current switching operation, where
electric energy supplied from a power source is stored in
magnetic form, and the stored magnetic energy is released
as electric energy. First and second diodes (11, 12) are
connected to first and second ends of the inductor,
respectively. The inductor is grounded at the first end
via a first switch (13), while its second end is connected
to the power source via a second switch (14). A switching
controller (15) activates both switches to energize the
inductor. It then deactivates the first switch alone,
thus directing the inductor's energy to the positive
voltage output through the first diode. The controller
may turn off the second switch alone after energizing the
inductor. The stored energy now appears at the negative
voltage output through the second diode.

Abstract: Un réseau de capteurs optiques par fibre effet Sagnac replié utilise un trajet retard commun pour réduire les détecteurs répartis dans les fibres aval. Ce réseau de capteurs est utilisé pour détecter des perturbations ( par exemple des ondes acoustiques dans l'eau). En fondant ce réseau de capteurs Sagnac replié sur des principes de fonctionnement similaires à ceux de l'interféromètre Sagnac, ce réseau de capteurs présente un point de polarisation stable, un bruit de phase réduit et il permet d'utiliser une source de signal à bande large à la place d'un laser à largeur de raie étroite plus onéreux. On peut multiplexer un grand nombre de capteurs dans l'architecture de ce réseau de capteurs. Dans un mode de réalisation particulièrement préféré de l'invention, le réseau de capteurs est agencé avec des coupleurs et des amplificateurs sélectionnés de façon à pouvoir diriger des parties sensiblement égales d'un signal lumineux entré vers chaque capteur du réseau. Dans un autre un mode de réalisation particulièrement préféré de l'invention, un premier et un second trajet retard sont prévus pour la lumière à une première et à une seconde longueur d'onde de façon à accroître la portée dynamique des capteurs.
