Abstract: A change management system to synchronize the configuration of network management applications. Traditional network management systems are maintained by hand­entering device lists into individual network management applications with no common-ties between the different applications. Whenever a network management application is changed or upgraded, it frequently becomes necessary to insure that the upgrade is populated throughout the network in order for devices to talk to one another in an error free way. The present invention is a system and method that automates the change management process in a real-time using a two-way communications model that permits a central database to affect changes on all or some network management applications/systems in the field, while also allowing those same field systems to affect the central database thereby reducing the time required for updating and monitoring a system when device changes take place.

Abstract: Un programme de calcul est exécuté dans un processeur VLIW qui contient une pluralité d'unités fonctionnelles et une pluralité de fichiers de registre qui sont couplés chacun à un sous-ensemble correspondant d'unités fonctionnelles. Lorsqu'une première instruction est exécutée, un résultat est écrit dans un fichier de registre dans un registre à adressage par une adresse de résultat en provenance de la première instruction, le résultat étant ensuite copié dans un registre de copies dans un fichier de registre. Le registre de copies est sélectionné en fonction du fichier de registre dans lequel le résultat a été écrit, mais de façon au moins partiellement indépendante de l'adresse de résultat. De cette manière, les résultats écrits dans différents registres adressés dans le fichier de registre sont copiés dans le même registre dans le fichier de copie. Par la suite, une instruction de copie peut être exécutée pour copier le résultat du fichier de registre de copies dans un deuxième fichier de registre, et le résultat peut alors être utilisé comme un opérande d'une autre instruction.

Abstract: An adjustable height corner fitting for a shipping container including a substantially hollow rectangularly shaped block having a bottom wall, end walls and side walls is disclosed. An elongated aperture is located in the bottom wall and is adapted to cooperate with a locking mechanism in order to lock the shipping container to the platform of a vehicle. Also provided is a substantially rectangularly shaped plate that is complementary to the bottom wall and is adapted to be temporarily attached thereto in order to increase the height of the block. The plate also has an elongated aperture therein which is complementary to the aperture in the bottom wall. When the plate is attached, the apertures in the plate and in the bottom wall are in alignment, but the plate causes the corner fitting to extend downwardly approximately a half an inch below the container for shipment on a truck, boat or rail car. With the plate removed, the bottom of the corner fitting is essentially flush with the bottom of the container thereby allowing the container to be transported by cargo plane.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un timbre oral soluble, adhésif, permettant l'administration d'un médicament topique dans la bouche. Ledit timbre comprend un polymère hydrophile qui est liquide à des températures buccales humaines. De préférence, le polymère hydrophile gèle en un solide à des températures juste inférieures à des températures buccales humaines, de préférence le polymère est du collagène tel que de la gélatine animale. La structure du timbre oral est constituée d'un réseau poreux qui demeure solide à des températures buccales humaines et se dissout lentement dans la salive. Dans certains modes de réalisation, le réseau est élastoplastique et dans certains cas il est hydrophile. Le polymère hydrophile est situé à l'intérieur de pores du réseau, ainsi qu'un médicament souhaité. Le timbre oral est formé par mélange et hydratation des ingrédients, par chauffage de ces derniers au-dessus d'une température d'activation située au-dessus de la température d'ébullition, et par refroidissement de ces derniers afin de former un gel. Le mélange chaud peut être versé dans des moules, comprenant une feuille plate, et les moules peuvent également servir de conditionnement permettant l'administration. Le conditionnement peut comprendre un film barrière contre les germes laissant passer l'humidité qui permet au timbre oral de sécher ou d'être réhydraté sans croissance de moisissure.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un système de régulation de débit comprenant un récipient sensiblement rigide ainsi qu'un réservoir de fluide de traitement placé dans le récipient rigide, lequel réservoir est en communication fluidique avec un orifice d'évacuation. Un élément mobile et/ou un fluide de travail, situé dans le récipient rigide, sert à expulser de manière sélective le fluide de traitement par l'orifice d'évacuation. Lorsqu'on utilise un élément mobile, le déplacement dudit élément mobile dans un premier sens entraîne l'aspiration du fluide de traitement dans un orifice d'entrée, alors que le déplacement dudit élément mobile dans un second sens entraîne l'expulsion du fluide de traitement par l'orifice d'évacuation. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, il convient d'introduire une certaine quantité de fluide de travail dans un réservoir de fluide de travail pour comprimer un réservoir de fluide de traitement souple afin que le fluide de traitement en soit expulsé.

Abstract: A semiconductor laser drive apparatus and method are
disclosed in order to obtain an optimal laser emission pulse
that can reduce inherent light emission that may cause fogging
and degradation of a photoconductor and also reduce turn on
delay. Specifically, a light emission command signal is
delayed at a delay unit based on a delay control signal so that
a modulation signal is output. The light emission command
signal and the delay signal are logically added to a command
signal from an external source at a threshold signal generation
unit so that a threshold ON signal is output. The modulation
signal and the threshold ON signal respectively drive a
modulation current switch and a threshold current switch so
that a semiconductor laser drive current is generated. The
threshold current is sampled according to a sample hold signal
supplied from an external source and APC is performed on the
sampled threshold current. In a differential quantum
efficiency detection unit, an operation of determining
differential quantum efficiency based on a current for
obtaining a predetermined amount of light and a current for
obtaining a portion of the predetermined amount of light is
performed, and a light emission current is calculated. By
adding the calculated light emission current and an arbitrary
current that may be externally set, a modulation current for
switching the semiconductor laser can be obtained.
