Abstract: The invention discloses a method for use in a wireless communications system with a plurality of broadcasting nodes, comprising the step of enabling one node in the system to function as a central node in said system and letting said node enable measurements on at least one frequency in a frequency band used by the system. Said measurements are carried out to detect if said at least one frequency is being utilized by a transmitter foreign to the system. Preferably, the measurement is enabled by means of the node transmitting a message to other nodes in the system, said message being a message pre-defined within the system as a message prohibiting all nodes from transmitting during a certain interval, said message being transmitted after the system has been detected by the node to be silent during a predefined interval between frame transmissions from the nodes in the system.

Abstract: In a computer system with a DBMS running thereon, management of the performance of a storage apparatus is executed by using a performance indicator provided by a user job so as to simplify the management of the performance. For this reason, a management server employed in the computer system monitors an operating state of each system element, a response time onto a job and other information. Pre-given information on a process such as a performance requirement the collected monitored information are used by the management server in issuing a command to change allocation of a processing amount to a port, an allocation of a cache area for data, the logical configuration of disc drives and other parameters in order to carry out the new process or in the case where a result of a judgment based on the monitored information indicates that tuning is necessary. In the case of a process for a batch job, a method for estimating a processing time is given to the management server, which issues a setting modification command based on an estimated processing time. In the case of a process for an on-line job, on the other hand, a command to modify settings of a member bearing a heavy load is issued in the case where a response time on a process and/or a throughput do not meet their performance requirement.

Abstract: Fuel cells (50) for example solid oxide fuel cells require cooling to maintain temperature levels and remove thermal energy generated by the fuel cells (50). The present invention provides a fuel cell assembly (10) comprising at least one fuel cell (50). The fuel cell comprises an anode (22), a cathode (18), an electrolyte (20) interposed therebetween, an interconnect (24) which is in intimate contact with at least one of the anode (22), the cathode (18) and the electrolyte (20), at least one fluid flow channel (95) which is disposed within the fuel cell (50), and at least one fiber (40) which is disposed within the fluid flow channel (95). The fiber (40) disposed within the fluid flow channel (95) disrupts a fluid flow during travel of the fluid within the fluid flow channel (95) to generate unsteady wakes. These unsteady wakes enhance the local heat transfer characteristics adjacent to at least one fiber (40). A higher Reynolds number enhances the heat transfer characteristics proportionately. Enhanced heat transfer characteristics increase the ability to remove heat more efficiently and more effectively. The enhanced heat transfer characteristics thus improve cooling ability and enable the maintenance of predetermined thermal gradients and temperature levels across the fuel cell assembly (10).

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a thermoacoustic device has a complaint enclosure which includes a rigid portion and a compliant portion. The compliant portion includes an oscillating member and a flexure seal with a pair of ends and a flexure body extending between the ends. One of the ends is sealed to the rigid portion and the other end is sealed to the oscillating member. The flexure seal has an average cross-sectional area and an end-to-end equilibrium length. A flexure volume is defined as the product of the average cross-sectional area and the end-to-end equilibrium length. A thermal core is disposed in the complaint enclosure and includes at least a first and a second heat exchanger. A working volume of gaseous working fluid fills the complaint enclosure. The working volume of gaseous working fluid has an equilibrium pressure. A motor is operable to oscillate the oscillating member such that the end-to-end length of the flexure seal is increased and decreased with respect to the equilibrium length. Therefore, the pressure of the working volume of gaseous working fluid is oscillated between a peak pressure greater than the equilibrium pressure and a minimum pressure less than the equilibrium pressure. In some embodiments, the working volume is less than or equal to four times the flexure volume, while in other embodiments, the working volume is less than or equal to two times or one times the flexure volume.

Abstract: A method and system for the automatic determination of the behavioral profile of a program suspected of having worm-like characteristics includes analyzing data processing system resources required by the program and, if the required resources are not indicative of the program having worm-like characteristics, running the program in a controlled non-network environment while monitoring and logging accesses to system resources to determine the behavior of the program in the non-network environment. A logged record of the observed behavior is analyzed to determine if the behavior is indicative of the program having worm-like characteristics. The non-network environment may simulate the appearance of a network to the program, without emulating the operation of the network.

Abstract: The present invention describes an improved pasteurisation protocol for pasteurising microbial cells is disclosed. The protocol has three stages, a first heating stage, a second plateau stage at which the cells are held at a (maximum and) constant temperature, and a third cooling stage. Both the heating and the cooling stages are rapid, with the temperature of the cells passing through 40 to 70°C in no more than 30 minutes in the heating stage. The heating rate is at least 0.5°C/minute and during cooling is at least -0.5°C/minute. The plateau maximum temperature is from 70 to 85°C. By plotting the pasteurisation protocol on a time (t, minutes) versus temperature (T, °C) graph, one obtains a trapezium having an area less than 13,000°C.minute. Not only does this result in a smaller energy input (and so a reduction in costs), but a better quality (and less oxidised) oil results having a peroxide value (POV) of less than 1.5 and an anisidine value (AnV) of less than 1.0.
