Title: Power transmission infrastructure maintenance system
Inventor: MCMULLIN RODERICK JOSEPH
IPC: H04B7/24
Filed: 1995-04-28
Granted: 1999-12-07
Abstract: A method and apparatus for the maintenance of Power Transmission Infrastructure is disclosed. Power Transmission Infrastructure embodies all physical elements employed directly or indirectly in the conveyance of electricity, for example, cables, conductors, insulators, tower structures, poles, grounding systems, transformers, switches, and surge arrestors.      The apparatus is inventive in that it detects events previously undetected (singularly or as a group). These include leaky arrestor, defective insulator, broken conductor, current faults, sway or galloping cables, corona, transformer degradation, structural integrity of towers and poles.      The method is inventive in that the system's data sources and data consumers communicate using a new protocol which minimizes the number of times a data element. is retransmitted. In its unrestricted form, the protocol will propagate data outward from the point of origin to the extremities of the network.     A plurality of monitor units are located at different tower structures or other structures throughout a power transmission and distribution system and each monitor unit is capable of transmitting its own identifying signal and data information collected from electromagnetic, sound, vibration, and motion sensors. The monitor units are also capable of relaying information originated by other monitor units. A remote station is provided for receiving and processing the identifying signal and data information.

Title: Available bit rate scheduler
Inventor: RADHAKRISHNAN SIVAKUMAR
IPC: H04L47/6275
Filed: 1996-03-27
Granted: 2000-02-29
Abstract: An  available  bit  rate  scheduling method  and apparatus for asynchronous transfer mode communication of a plurality of cells over a network characterized by a system clock frequency f and an allowed cell rate ACR. Each cell belongs to an assigned virtual circuit communication channel which is defined by a set of negotiated traffic parameters.  The invention partitions the ACR's of the virtual circuits into a smaller subset of profiles/ subprofiles and conducts a deterministic search to service them.  The scheduler incorporates a profile generator for iteratively generating a number p of the profiles by (i) outputting a k*modulo 2ith one of the profiles during each kth iteration of the profile generator, where 1 ~ i ~ p and 1 ~ k ~ p-1; (ii) outputting a null profile during each 2pth one of the iterations; and,  (iii) dispatching the profiles from the profile generator to the profile queue such that a   particular   profile   is   dispatched   at   a   time T = To + (1/ACR) *f, where To is the dispatch time of a profile dispatched immediately prior to the particular profile.  A profile queue coupled to the profile generator receives and sequentially stores the generated profiles. A virtual  circuit  processor  sequentially  receives  the profiles from the profile queue and, for each one of the received profiles, dispatches to an output queue all virtual circuits which are characterized by the one received profile.

Title: Isocyanate compositions and cellulose products impregnated with the compositions
Inventor: PARK DAVID W
IPC: C08G18/16
Filed: 1996-04-19
Granted: 2007-04-03
Abstract: The invention is directed to a composition of matter useful as a paper impregnant, to the method of its use, and to the products produced by the method. Poly (diphenylmethane diisocyanate) or PMDI has been used in the past as a paper impregnant with or without propylene carbonate as a diluent. These products have generally required pressing under high pressures and at elevated temperatures. It has now been found that triacetin and/or triethyl citrate in usages up to about 20% of PMDI give superior performance in impregnated products. The modified PMDI will cure at essentially ambient conditions in times as short as 1-2 days to insoluble polyureas with low residual amounts of isocyanates and reaction byproducts such as 4,4'- diaminodiphenylmethane. The treated papers can be used in applications of which skins for sandwich panels and high strength corrugated board would be exemplary.

Title: Diagnostic imaging contrast agents with extended blood retention
Inventor: MCMURRY THOMAS J
IPC: C07K2/00
Filed: 1996-01-16
Granted: 2007-03-20
Abstract: The present invention provides diagnostic imaging contrast agents which exhibit improved blood retention. The novel compounds comprise: a) an image-enhancing (or signal-generating) moiety (IEM); b) a plasma protein binding moiety (PPBM); and c) a blood half-life extending moiety (BHEM). This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and to methods of using the compounds and compositions for blood half-life extension and contrast enhancement of diagnostic imaging. These contrast agents exhibit reduced rates of both renal and hepatocellular uptake and no apparent uptake by the RE system. The agents may be targeted to the blood pool or any other biological component. Since the agent is lost less rapidly from the bloodstream, lower doses can be used at a higher margin of safety. The approach is general to both large and small molecules.
