Patent EP-0751649-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BARRETT LORRAINE F
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 1996-06-26
Abstract: A method of transmitting a message to a
system administrator of a local area network (LAN)
from a front panel of a peripheral device which is
interfaced to the LAN via a network interface device
having a storage device. A signal representing a
message to the system administrator is input on the
front panel of the peripheral device and is
transmitted to a network interface device. The
input signal is detected at the network interface
device and, in response to the detection,
destination information for messages to the system
administrator is retrieved from the storage device.
A notification packet is then formed which includes
the retrieved destination information,
identification information regarding the peripheral
device, and the message represented by the input
signal, and the notification packet is transmitted
to the system administrator using the retrieved
destination information.

Abstract: A piezoelectric resonator has a rectangular-parallelepiped-shaped base
member. The base member includes laminated six piezoelectric layers. The
piezoelectric layers are polarized in the longitudinal direction of the base member
such that the direction of polarization differs at adjacent piezoelectric layers. At both
surfaces of the six piezoelectric layers, seven internal electrodes are formed. The
internal electrodes have opposing areas different in size. The internal electrodes are
alternately covered by insulating films 16 and 18, respectively, on opposing side
faces of the base member. The insulating films 16 and 18 cover different internal
electrodes. External electrodes are formed on the opposing side faces of the base
member and the external electrodes are connected to the internal electrodes.

Abstract: An apparatus and related methods for capturing a digital foot print image of a tire
and for extrapolating load-deflection curves of the tire is presented. A frame carries a
test pod that is coupled to a tire to perform various tests. In one application, a loading
plate couples the tire to a transparent plate on the test pod where a camera captures a
digital gray-scale image of the tire foot print. A processor converts the gray-scale image
into a pressure map wherein each pixel of the digital image is correlated to a pressure
value. In another application, the loading plate couples the tire to a sliding cover plate
on the test pod, wherein the loading plate is incremented through a plurality of load
values at predetermined inflation pressures. By using, two inflation pressures, the
processor extrapolates further load-deflection curves for the tire at other inflation
pressures. The apparatus also provides a unique way for imparting camber on the tire
during the above tests. The data collected from the foot print image and load-deflection
curves may he used to analyze the construction, operation, noise generation
characteristics and performance of the tire.

Abstract: To enhance accuracy for detecting the concentration
of oxygen within exhaust gas detected by an oxygen sensor in
a system for supplying unburned hydrocarbon to a NO x  catalyst
by means of post-injection, an NO x  catalyst 19 and an oxygen
sensor 20 are in an exhaust pipe 18 of a diesel engine 10.
An output signal of the oxygen sensor 20 is corrected based
on a post-injection command for supplying hydrocarbon to the
NO x  catalyst 19. It allows the concentration of oxygen which
corresponds to the case when no post-injection is executed to
be estimated in anticipation that post-injected unburned
hydrocarbon burns at the oxygen sensor 20 and the detected
concentration of oxygen drops. Thus, it allows the adverse
effect exerted by the post-injection to the detection of the
concentration of oxygen to be eliminated. It then becomes
possible to purify and control the emission and to improve
the rate of purification of NO x  while eliminating the adverse
effect caused by the post-injection by correcting any one of
the EGR gas flow rate, fuel injection amount, intake air
amount or the like based on the detected value of the
corrected concentration of oxygen.

Abstract: A method for controlling keys used in the verification of encoded information
generated by a transaction evidencing device (12) and printed on a document (55)
comprises the steps of generating a plurality of random verifier master keys (18) to
obtain a set (100) of verifier master keys consisting of a fixed number of keys;
generating at least one pointer by applying a psuedorandom algorithm to data
unique to the transaction evidencing device (12); calculating a plurality of verifier
token keys to obtain a verifier token key set (100) corresponding to the set of
verifier master keys (100); encrypting the verifier token key set with a privacy key;
and distributing the set verifier token keys and the privacy key to verifiers (60). The
token keys are a function of the verifier master keys and a code valid for a limited
time. The pointer algorithm is an appropriate symmetric key cryptographic
algorithm and the code is function of a date dependent parameter. The master keys
are distributed to postal and vendor data centers.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing intelligent wireless access
systems are presented. A microcell cellular architecture is provided in which a
digital switch and controller are provided in conjunction with a number of
intelligent radio ports. Each of the intelligent radio ports provides at least one voice
channel to both the microcell and to the traditional wireless macrocell. Calls placed
within the microcell, however, do not access the traditional public macrocell. This
architecture enables the microcell to be easily integrated into an existing wire-based
system such that calls placed to the wire-based system are simultaneously
forwarded to a cell phone (thereby ringing at both phones using a single phone
number). If the call is answered by the cell phone within the confines of the
microcell (i.e., via an intelligent radio port rather than a conventional wireless base
station), the call is handled as a wire-based call and the type of phone used to
answer the call is transparent to the caller.
