Patent CA-2184426-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BUSCHE MATTHEW T
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1996-08-29
Abstract: A setup procedure employing distributed hop-by-hop routing reduces the number of signaling messages needed to establish a service (i.e., connection), thus enhancing network performance. A service is setup between an origination node and a destination node which are a part of a network of communication nodes interconnected by links. Each node maintains a topological database representing the network topology. Initially, a setup message for initiating the service is transmitted from the origination node to a neighboring node that serves as a local node. The topological database is then updated after the local node receives the setup message by eliminating links connected to a particular set of nodes. This set of nodes includes those nodes other than the local node that have previously transmitted a setup or failure message for the service. A shortest path is next determined from the local node to the destination node over the updated topology and another setup message is transmitted from the local node to a firstneighboring node in the shortest path. The previously-mentioned steps are repeated, beginning with the step of updating the topological database, where the neighboring node now serves as a subsequent local node. The steps are repeated until either a setup message reaches the destination node so that the service enters a connected state or no shortest path is found at the origination node, which indicates that the service has failed to enter a connected state.

Abstract: A vacuum assisted pump priming system which includes a vacuum chamber communicating with a pump inlet via a transfer passage.  A valve assembly within the vacuum chamber controls the communication of a vacuum source with the chamber.  The valve assembly includes a semi-cylindrical valve body having a plurality of ports by which the vacuum source is communicated with the vacuum chamber.  A closure element, attached to a float, is operative to block the vacuum posts when the float rises above a predetermined level in the vacuum chamber in response to liquid entering the chamber.  A lost motion connection is established between the float and the valve body, which enables the float to rise above the predetermined level, while the closure element maintains its blocking relationship with the ports.  The float includes an enlarged portion that acts as a defuser and a tamper portion which is received in the transfer passage and is operative to dislodge matter drawn into the transfer passage.  The float may include extension portions which act as shields and occupy additional volume in the vacuum chamber in order to reduce the liquid level rise in the chamber. The valve body and closure element may be arranged at a predetermined angle to promote drainage and a shield overlies the transfer passage to inhibit the entry of solids into the vacuum chamber.  A two-stage eductor assembly is used to provide cooling for a seal chamber forming part of the pump.

Title: Method of enhancing transfer of coagulated colloid onto a substrate during electrocoagulation printing
Inventor: CASTEGNIER ADRIEN
IPC: B41M5/20
Filed: 1996-12-30
Abstract: An improved electrocoagulation printing method comprising  the steps  of   (a) providing  a  positive electrode formed of an electrolytically inert metal and having a continuous passivated surface moving at substantially constant  speed along a predetermined path,  the passivated surface defining a positive electrode active surface;  (b) forming  on  the  positive  electrode  active surface  a  plurality  of  dots  of  colored,  coagulated colloid representative of a desired image,  by electrocoagulation of  an  electrolytically  coagulable  colloid present in an electrocoagulation printing ink comprising a  liquid  colloidal  dispersion  containing  the  electrolytically coagulable  colloid, a  dispersing  medium,  a soluble   electrolyte   and   a   coloring   agent; and (c) bringing a substrate into contact with the dots of colored,  coagulated  colloid  to  cause  transfer  of  the colored,  coagulated colloid from the positive electrode active surface onto the substrate and thereby imprint the substrate  with  the  image.  The  improvement  resides  in maintaining the positive electrode active surface and the ink at a temperature of about  35°C to  about  60°C  to increase the viscosity of the coagulated colloid in step (b)  so  that  the  dots  of  colored,  coagulated  colloid remain  coherent  during  their  transfer  in  step  (c), thereby enabling the colored,  coagulated colloid to be substantially completely transferred onto the substrate in step (c).

Abstract: A refrigerator has French doors with vertically extending confronting side walls. At least one of the confronting side walls has a movable sealing gasketing member adapted to sealingly engage the other confronting side wall when the doors are in a closed position. The doors move between an open position and into the closed position through a temporary intermediate partially closed position. In the partially closed position the doors extend over the refrigerator compartment with temporary non-sealing vertically extending portions of the confronting side walls of the doors spaced apart from one another a predetermined gap distance. A first set of magnets are positioned in the doors at least along the temporary non-sealing vertically extending portions of the confronting side walls. The first magnets have a magnetic field attraction strength insufficient to move the gasketing member across the predetermined gap distance and sufficient to seal the gasketing member to the other confronting side wall when the predetermined gap distance is reduced. A second set of magnets have a magnetic field strength greater than the first magnets. The second magnets are positioned in at least one location along each of the confronting side walls to trigger local movement of the gasketing member towards the other confronting side wall locally reducing the predetermined gap. This triggers the first magnets to move the gasket along the vertically extending portions into sealing engagement with the other side wall. In the preferred embodiment the second magnets are located as a continuation of and in alignment with the first magnets. Swiping of the confronting side walls of the doors is limited at the second magnets.
