Title: Apparatus and method for defining a static fibre channel fabric
Inventor: DESANTI CLAUDIO
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-03-25
Granted: 2012-12-18
Abstract: A storage area network and method for defining a static Fibre Channel Fabric that does not require a Principal Switch. The storage area network comprises one or more hosts, one or more storage devices, and a static Fabric connecting the one or more hosts and storage devices. Within the static Fabric, the Switches have their Domain_ID and Fabric_Name statically set. The method comprises accessing the Fabric, selecting a Switch in the Fabric, and statically configuring the Domain_ID and Fabric_Name for the selected Switch. The above sequence is repeated for each Switch in the static Fabric. In one embodiment, after being statically configured, the Switch is isolated from any dynamically set Switches in the Fabric. The Switch detects which of its Ports are connected to dynamically set Switches, and then isolates them, while maintaining operational the Ports connected to statically configured Switches.

Abstract: An integrated protection system for an electrical distribution system including a panelboard for receiving power from a utility source and distributing the power to a plurality of branch circuits each having line and neutral conductors for delivering the power to a load. The integrated protection system comprises a plurality of arcing-fault detectors and line interrupters attached to positions in the panelboard. The arcing-fault detectors detect the occurrence of an arcing fault in either of the branch circuits, while the line interrupters disconnect the load from the power source in response to the detection of an arcing fault in either of the branch circuits. The line interrupters and arcing-fault detectors may comprise separate modules, each being connected to one of the positions in panelboard or being attached externally to the other module. Alternatively, the line interrupters and arcing-fault detectors may be combined within individual modules, each individual module being connected to a position in the panelboard. An isolation module may be attached to one of the positions in the panelboard for electrically isolating arcing-fault signals to the branch circuit on which they occur.

Title: Needle-free medical connector with expandable valve mechanism and method of fluid flow control
Inventor: LEINSING KARL R
IPC: A61M39/26
Filed: 2003-05-05
Granted: 2011-02-01
Abstract: A needle-free medical connector (20) includes a housing (22) with a first port (28) and a second port (32). The connector also includes a piston element (38) defining a fluid passageway between the first and second ports. The piston element is movable between flow and non-flow positions. The piston element has an expandable section (56) having a variable inner width and volume that forms a part of the flow path through the connector. As the piston is compressed to the flow position, the expandable section is expanded in width by movement over a flow post (40) thereby maintaining or increasing the volume of the fluid passageway through the connector. The expandable section has a configuration permitting the continuous flow of fluid through its entirety.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing barber scissors (1), wherein the scissor blades (23,33) are pre-shaped from blanks by a predetermined degree of curvature in the direction facing away from the edge. This is followed by welding on a hard metal material in the form of a welding bead on respective mutually facing faces of the scissor blades (23,33) to form the edges (24,34), wherein the preliminary curvature of the scissor blades (23,33) is neutralized owing to the influence of heat during the welding process. Subsequently the welding beads are ground so as to form the edges (24,34), and the scissor halves (2,3) are pre-set and hardened. Then the barber scissors (1) are hard-set in the assembled condition. The invention further relates to barber scissors (1) having such a configuration, where repeated frequent re-grinding or re-setting of the barber scissors (1) is possible without loss of functionality.

Granted: 2007-07-24
Abstract: Proposed is an optically variable element which at least in surface portions has an interface which is embedded between two layers and which forms an optically effective structure, that interface having a free-form surface which appears three-dimensionally for a viewer. To emphasise that free-form surface it is proposed in accordance with the invention that the free-form surface is formed by a partial region of the interface, which is of a lens-like configuration and which produces a magnification, reduction or distortion effect. Further subject-matter of the application is the use of such optically variable elements as a security element to prevent forgery of value-bearing documents or for articles to be safeguarded, in particular as part of the decorative layer arrangement of a transfer or laminating film.

Abstract: A method and system for stabilizing energy consumption in multiple loads, or in single multi-phase loads. The method and system also compensates for unbalance in multi-phase loads. A central controller monitors variable reactances in the loads and identifies situations of power and/or current fluctuation and/or unbalance. It determines appropriate corrective action by the other loads/phases to compensate for the power and/or current change or unbalance due to the problematic load, and it issues control signals instructing variable reactor controllers associated with the other loads to adjust accordingly. The method and system may by applied to electric arc furnace installations. In this context, the method and system provide an electrode position controller coupled to the feed rate controller so as to predictively anticipate the introduction of new source material and lower the electrodes so as to prevent arc extinguishment while the variable reactors maintain predetermined power set-points. The electrode position controller may be used in place of the variable reactance control system to take corrective action to address power and/or current changes or unbalances. The system and method may be employed to maintain a predetermined level of unbalance in the system.
