Patent EP-1110861-A1 (EP)
Inventor: CHIU CHUI-WEN
IPC: B64D25/18
Filed: 2000-12-07
Abstract: Nowadays, travelling by airplanes has been well established, and air accident rate is on
the whole very low. However, as the number of air flights increases, accidents with the fatality
of more than one hundred people have occurred. With the occurrence of such accidents, it
poses fear to tens of thousands of air travellers that catastrophe may fall upon them in any
flight. Two hundred and thirty people died on August 20, 1997 aboard Transworld Airline
Flight 800, and two hundred and ninety people perished on Swiss Airline Flight 111 on
September 20, 1998, while two hundred and seventeen people died in the air disaster on Egypt
Airline Flight 990 on October 31, 1999. These accidents occurred prior to my invention
because the airplanes failed to provide the appropriate means for saving the lives of the
travellers in these accidents. Soft pillows, woolen blankets, oxygen masks, seat belts and
floatation jackets did not save any life in these accidents. The crux of this invention is to
provide means for blasting the airplane body apart in an accident so as to enable separate
passengers cabin sections to break away automatically from the airplane. The break away
passengers cabin sections will formed independent sealed units similar to unhitched train carts
passing through a tunnel so as to protect the passengers who may remain sitting in each cabin.
With such safety provision, the lives of the passengers of the Transworld, Swiss, and Egypt
Airlines accidents would have been saved; also, the fear of billion of air travel passengers
would be dispelled.

Abstract: A bandwidth adjustment server, BWAS 109 is
provided which monitors system bandwidth usage, sends
requests to terminals 102A, 102B and/or 106, to
identify their coding capabilities, and directs each of
the terminals to adjust their coding algorithms based
on system bandwidth usage. If system bandwidth usage
is high, the BWAS 109 requires the terminals to employ
a less bandwidth intensive coding algorithm; similarly,
when system bandwidth usage is low, the BWAS 109 will
allow the terminals to employ higher bandwidth use
coding algorithms. Codec renegotiation may be initiated
if there is a disparity between the bandwidth allocated
to new connections versus ongoing connections or an
increase in data traffic.

Title: Dispositif micro-electronique de stockage de l'information et son procede d'utilisation
Inventor: BECK ARMIN
IPC: G11C11/22
Filed: 2000-01-17
Abstract: La découverte fondamentale sur laquelle repose cette invention a trait à une pluralité de substances de type oxyde, c'est-à-dire à des matériaux utilisés dans les circuits micro-électroniques et électroniques, singulièrement des puces semi-conductrices qui tout à la fois sont capables d'assurer une commutation selon la résistance et possèdent une mémoire intégrée. Un élément préféré de cette pluralité est BaxSr1-xTiO3 avec 0∫ x ∫ 0.7, avec un dopant au chrome compris entre 0 % and 5 %, de préférence entre 0 et 1 %, mieux encore de 0,2 % environ. Lorsque ladite substance est utilisée par exemple comme couche diélectrique dans une structure de type condensateur, elle reste commutée dans un état soit de forte, soit de faible conductivité selon l'impulsion de tension qui lui est appliquée. Ainsi, il est possible de stocker des informations numériques selon des valeurs de résistance différentes, c'est-à-dire en associant un état de résistance élevée à une logique «0» et un état de résistance faible à une logique «1». La lecture des informations ainsi stockées se fait par mesure du courant de fuite. On peut même envisager une commutation multi-niveau.

Abstract: This invention relates to a metal part and other
surface modification method suitable for the machining
industry in which shot peening is typically used to
refine the surface of a metal part (to introduce
compressive residual stresses, to enhance fatigue
strength, to harden the workpiece) and for fields in
which parts need be cleaned. According to the present
invention, Workpiece W is placed within a first vessel
which is filled with a fluid. The first vessel is
pressurized by controlling the flow rate of the fluid
flowing in the first vessel from a Nozzle 4 distant from
said workpiece on the surface and of the fluid flowing
from the first vessel. Thus, the collapsing impact
force of cavitation bubbles is increased so that the
machined part will have its surface strengthened and
cleaned by applying a peening effect to the surface of
the part with said impact force.

Abstract: In the context of a radio communications system that includes a core network coupled to a radio access network (RAN) and a plurality of mobile terminals, a connection may be established between the core network and one of the plurality of mobile terminals through the radio access network. A temporary RAN identifier is associated with the mobile terminal for the established connection. The temporary RAN identifier is used to assist in the transfer of information pertaining to the established connection or to the establishment of that connection through the radio access network. The radio access network includes a first RAN node associated with a first geographical coverage area and a second RAN node associated with a second geographical coverage area. When the mobile terminal moves from the first coverage area to the second coverage area, the connection is re-established through the RAN by way of the first and second RAN nodes using the temporary RAN identifier. The temporary RAN identifier in packets corresponding to the established connection is used to direct those packets to and from the first and second RAN nodes. The first and second RAN nodes analyze packets corresponding to the established connection including the temporary RAN identifier included in each packet. From analysis of the temporary RAN identifier, the first and second RAN nodes determine where packets are to be routed. The temporary RAN identifier is also advantageously employed to facilitate mobile terminal registration and paging operations.

Abstract: Dispositif mécanique (100) destiné à commander des processus dépendant du temps, fondé sur un élément basculant (6) de déclenchement et de commutation, pivotant autour d'un axe (7), qui est attaché à un support (11) par l'intermédiaire d'un élément de temporisation (8, 9) contraint par un ressort (17) pendant un laps de temps prédéterminé. Ledit dispositif (100) est bandé par la rotation d'une roue dentée (2) qui fait tourner de 90 ° une roue dentée (5) ellipsoïdale engrenée avec la roue dentée (2), si bien que l'élément de temporisation (8, 9) est poussé dans la direction (C) contre le support (11). Le mouvement de bascule désenclenche simultanément un élément entraîné (14). Une rotation supplémentaire de la roue dentée (2) fait basculer à nouveau la roue dentée ellipsoïdale (5) de 90 °. L'élément basculant (6) de déclenchement et de commutation reste en position enclenchée jusqu'à ce que le laps de temps déterminé par l'élément de temporisation (8, 9) se soit écoulé. Une fois ce laps de temps prédéterminé écoulé, l'élément basculant (6) de déclenchement et de commutation revient dans la direction (O) à la position de départ: les éléments de commande associés (12, 14) sont à nouveau engrenés. L'objet selon la présente invention est particulièrement approprié pour être utilisé dans des distributeurs d'essuie-mains à déroulement continu à actionnement manuel.
