Patent EP-0967483-A2 (EP)
Inventor: JAESCHKE MANFRED DR
IPC: G01N27/22
Filed: 1998-09-29
Abstract: Sound velocity in the gas is determined twice, each time under a different set of reference conditions. One of the following is measured: dielectric constant, sound velocity under third reference conditions, or carbon dioxide proportion in the gas. From these three parameters the calorific value is derived. Preferred features: Dielectric constant or carbon dioxide concentration and at least one sound velocity value are determined in a common measurement environment. Reference conditions for the first sound velocity measurement are 1-10 bar and over 225 K. For the second, they are over 30 bar and 225-350 K. For the third, they are 175-225 bar and 225-350 K, with pressure of measurement under second reference conditions below 70 bar. The second reference condition is an operating condition. Measurements include temperature, pressure or nitrogen proportion. A side stream is branched-off for sound velocity measurement, also using it to make the carbon dioxide measurement. Further measurement cycles precede the main measurement and derivation of calorific value. These comprise measurements on reference gases of known calorific value. Patterns of measured values are stored for comparison with measurements of the unknown gas; i.e. a calibration process.

Abstract: While the phase of a PN code is being shifted every a
predetermined number of chips, correlation values with a
received code are obtained. A plurality of the largest
correlation values are selected from those that have been
detected and designated to fingers. When a correlation value
is obtained for each phase, the maximum value of the
correlation values that have been detected is detected by a
maximum value detecting circuit. The maximum value is stored
in a maximum value memory. When a plurality of the largest
correlation values are selected, the maximum value that
has been stored in the maximum value memory is used.

Abstract: Polyimide layers having special properties are formed
on the bottom surface of a metallic body for a metal-based
semiconductor circuit substrate with a polyimide layer as
an insulator. There are four lamination methods: (a) a
method in which a layer of thermoplastic polyimide resin
(1) and a layer of non-thermoplastic polyimide resin are
laminated on the bottom surface of the metallic body one
over another in this order, (b) a method in which a layer
of thermoplastic polyimide resin (1), a layer of non-thermoplastic
polyimide resin and a layer of thermoplastic
polyimide resin (2) are laminated on the bottom surface of
a metallic body one over another in this order, (c) a
method in which a layer of non-thermoplastic polyimide
resin is laminated on the bottom surface of a metallic body
and (d) a method in which a layer of thermoplastic
polyimide resin (2) is laminated on the bottom surface of a
metallic body. The resulting semiconductor circuit
substrate has improved properties: flat joins to connect
external terminals, small variations in shape due to
temperature changes, the mounting properties to a mother
board, the absorption efficiency of infrared rays during
solder reflowing, plating resistance and the bonding
reliability to other objects.

Abstract: A network management system is generated by composing a network management
model using a bean-based environment and then compiling the model to implement the
computer network management system in the bean-based environment. Beans provide
a set of properties, a set of methods for performing actions, and support for events and
for introspection. The beans are directly able to model the characteristics of components
of a system to be modelled. The beans can also be compiled directly to provide the
implementation of the model. As a result, the need for a separate environment for
modelling a management system from that used to implement that management system
can be avoided.

Abstract: In a system and method and system for controlling delivery of unsolicited electronic mail messages, one or more spam probe e-mail addresses are created and planted at various sites on the communications network in order to insure their inclusion on large-scale electronic junk mail ("spam") mailing lists. The mailboxes corresponding to the spam probe e-mail addresses are monitored for incoming mail by a spam control center. Upon receipt of incoming mail addressed to the spam probe addresses, the spam control center automatically analyzes the received spam e-mail to identify the source of the message, extracts the spam source data from the message, and generates an alert signal containing the spam source data. This alert signal is broadcast to all network servers and/or all user terminals within the communications network. A filtering system implemented at the servers and/or user terminals receives the alert signal, updates stored filtering data using the spam source data retrieved from the alert signal, and controls delivery of subsequently-received e-mail messages received from the identified spam source. The filtering system controls delivery of the unsolicited e-mail messages by discarding the messages without displaying them to the user, displaying the messages to the user with a "JUNK" or similar marker, or otherwise processing the spam mail as desired by the network provider and/or the network users. The filtering system may also filter e-mail messages sent by the user terminals.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technology relating to an agent system for generating an excellent
plan. A script can be freely described by individually storing an action definition
and the script without any limitation due to a language form of the action
definition. Constructing as one of agent functions an update of knowledge using
information acquired by execution, removes the necessity for the description of operations
relating to an update in the plan. Diversification of contents of a re-planning
enhances a flexibility of the operations by an agent. Furthermore, when
the agent moves among nodes, both of the agent and the node decide reliabilities of
nodes to and from which the agent moves, so that a safety of information processing
is improved. By preserving information used for restoring the agent at the time of
the move of the agent, the agent having interrupted its action due to trouble can
resume the action.

multiplicity of drain holes (11) distributed in a desired
pattern, and discharge grooves (12) formed in the underside of
each slat along sliding surface portions (13) facing guide
rails of the slat conveyor chain (60). A treatment liquid, such
as lubricating liquid or washing liquid, supplied onto a load-bearing
upper surface of the slat conveyor chain for stable and
damage-free conveyance of articles such as PET bottles, cans
and so on is smoothly discharged from the discharge grooves
through the drain holes without scatting around a frame of the
slat conveyor chain. With this discharging of the treatment
liquid, bearings and a speed reducer of a chain drive mechanism
are protected against corrosion. The slat conveyor chain can,
therefore, operate reliably over a long period of use while
keeping the surrounding environment against contamination with
the treatment liquid.
