Title: Method for the analysis and monitoring of the partial discharge behavior of an electrical operating means
Inventor: WENDEL CHRISTOPH
IPC: G01R31/12
Filed: 2004-01-14
Abstract: A description is given of a method for the analysis and/or monitoring of the partial discharge behavior of an electrical operating means, in particular in terms of its development over time. Here, appropriate partial discharge data is recorded in process state matrices (2, 3), in which, in each case in a matrix element (5) of the process state matrix (1), the amplitude (7) of a partial discharge, its phase angle (6) and its frequency of occurrence is depicted (in particular what is known as a PRPD representation). A simplified analysis is made possible by the fact that, at a first time, a partial discharge process state is registered in a first process state matrix (2) and, at a later time, a further partial discharge process state is registered in a further process state matrix (3). Then, for the purpose of analysis and/or monitoring, the first (2) and the second (3) process state matrix are compared with the aid of comparison and scaling methods.

IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2002-07-23
Abstract: A communications system that provides broadband access to passengers of mobile platforms includes a router located on the mobile platform. A network is connected to the router. User communication decives (UCDs)connected to the network, wherein in the UCDs establish point-to-point over Ethernet (PPPoE) sessions with the router. A transmitter and a receiver are connected to the router. A satelite and aground station are in communication with the transmitter and the receiver. A distributed communications system includes virtual private networks (VPN) and is connected to the ground station. A first address manager assigns the public Ip addresses to UCDs when the UCDs request access to the VPNs and private IP addresses for other network service. The UCDs employ IPSec protocol when accessing the VPNs.

Title: System and method for automatic selection of a good buy in price-comparison sites when the user buys more than one product at the same time
Inventor: MAYER YARON
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2004-03-19
Abstract: Price comparison sites on the Internet, which allow users to compare prices across multiple shops (or in other words allow shopping meta-search), are very popular today. However, these price comparison sites perform optimizations for only one item at a time but not for combinations of more than one item which can be purchased from more than one dealer. In other words, If the user wants to buy for example multiple books at the same time or for example a number of computer parts at the same time, he has to search for the best shop for each item separately, and then any attempt for example to optimize the shipping costs by aggregating more than one item from the same shop have to be done manually by the user, which can take quite a long time, and the user many times will not succeed to reach the best option or even close to it. The present invention describes a system and method for automatic finding of one or more acceptable or near-optimal suggestions for dividing the order between various vendors (preferably in terms of at least item prices plus shipment costs) in price-comparison sites when the user buys more than one product at the same time, preferably by using efficient and practical heuristics, and preferably with automatically offering additional complementary services when needed. The invention solves many problems that are involved in accomplishing this in an efficient and practical manner, and also describes additional preferable features.

Abstract: A pump controller is disclosed for controlling a pump for a fluid medium such as water. The pump controller includes a metal substrate (11) adapted to have a first side thereof exposed to the fluid medium and an insulating medium applied to a second side of the substrate. A pressure sensing means (12) including at least one pressure responsive element (R9, R10) is implemented on the insulating medium closely adjacent the substrate such that the pressure element is responsive to pressure of the fluid medium when the first side is exposed to the fluid medium. A flow sensing means (13) including at least one source of heat (15) and at least one temperature responsive element (16) is implemented on the insulating medium closely adjacent the substrate, such that the temperature responsive element is responsive to flow of the fluid medium when the first side is exposed to the flow, with the fluid medium providing a sink for the source of heat in a manner that is related to the flow. The pump controller includes switching means (17) for switching the pump on or off and a processing means (14) for receiving data from the pressure sensing means and the flow sensing means. The data is communicated via conductive tracks implemented on the insulating medium. The processing means is adapted to process the data and to produce an output for driving the switching means. A  housing for a sensor substrate having a wet side and a dry side and adapted to promote contact of the wet side with the pumped fluid medium and to substantially prevent contact of the dry side with the fluid medium is also disclosed.

Patent CA-2479438-A1 (CA)
Title: Diverter spout
Inventor: XIA PENG-CHENG
IPC: E03C1/04
Filed: 2004-08-25
Abstract: A diverter spout has a drain pipe, a connecting sleeve, an offset shaft, a resilient element between the drain pipe and the offset shaft, a pole for manual operation; a supporting sleeve and an envelope. At least a leakproof rubber ring is mounted around the offset shaft. Due to interferential friction between the leakproof rings and the connecting sleeve or the supporting sleeve and water pressure, a blocking portion of the offset shaft controls the water to flow only through a spout. In normal state, the resilient element overcomes interferential friction between the leakproof rings and the connecting sleeve or the supporting sleeve and controls the water to flow only through a drain opening of the drainpipe. Therefore, water diverts reliably without leakage.

Title: Bandwidth management in a wireless network
Inventor: CROMER DARYL CARVIS
IPC: H04H20/00
Filed: 2003-05-06
Abstract: In accordance with the preferred embodiment, an access point provides dynami c load balancing of network bandwidth between access points within the 802.11 wireless LAN. The access point uses the RTS/CTS protocol to reduce the bandwidth available to a single device using an excessive amount of network bandwidth. The access point places a device that has been monopolizing a network channel on a Restricted List, and regulates bandwidth on the network by not returning a CTS to any client on the Restricted List. When the client 's network usage drops below a policy driven threshold set by the number of network users, the client is removed from the list and the access point will respond to a RTS from the client with a CTS.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'une structure de carton collée à sec, enroulée en spirale. A cet effet, pendant la fabrication du carton, on ajoute à la pâte à papier un adhésif rendu actif par les radiofréquences tel que qu'un silicate, de façon à produire d'abord un carton imprégné de colle rendue active par les radiofréquences. On soumet alors à un champ d'énergie radiofréquence le carton imprégné avant ou pendant l'enroulement, ce qui active l'adhésif. L'invention permet ainsi de se dispenser de l'application de colle à l'eau sur le carton avant de donner forme à la structure, réduisant d'autant la migration d'eau vers l'intérieur du carton.

Abstract: This invention includes a system for cutting food products, such as potatoes, into proportional length pieces. In a one embodiment, the system includes a cutting assembly, sensors upstream of the cutting assembly and a programmable logic controller. The cutting assembly preferably includes a housing defining a passageway, at least two separately actuatable stops extendable into the passageway to provide an abutment to hold the food product in place, and at least two separately actuatable blades for slicing the food product into pieces. The controller cooperates with the sensors to determine the length of each food product and, based on a length determinative algorithm, selectively actuate one of the stops and at least one of the blades to determine how many times the food product will be sliced and location of the cut(s) relative to the leading end of the food product.
