Patent CA-2383735-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAYWARD KENNETH
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2002-04-26
Abstract: A communications network comprises a lower transport layer and an upper overlay incorporating a plurality of routers. Adjacencies are defined between respective pairs of routers. Path protection is provided by defining a software model of the overlay of the network and defining in the model a hierarchy of protection levels for the main path. Each protection level is characterised by a respective set of one or more broken adjacencies in the model, the adjacencies to be broken being determined from a knowledge of the underlying topology. A protection level is selected and a protection path avoiding the broken adjacencies associated with that protection level is calculated. If this calculated path is not available in the real network, a lower protection level in the hierarchy is selected and the protection path calculation repeated. The process continues until a suitable protection path is identified.

Title: Controller, cabin pressure control system and method of controlling cabin pressure
Inventor: RUNKEL LARS
IPC: B64D13/04
Filed: 2001-07-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to a controller (11), a cabin pressure control system (10) and a method for controlling pressure in a cabin (30), especially an aircraft cabin. In accordance with the invention the controller (11) comprises a channel (15; 16) and a pressure differential safety function (22). The channel (15; 16) calculates a first output signal (40) for actuating an overflow valve (17) in a closed loop control based on the pressure differential between the cabin (30) and the atmosphere and additional critical parameters. The safety function (22) calculates a second output signal (41) based only on the pressure differential.      The two output signals (40, 41) are compared, and the second output signal (41) is selected, if said first output signal (40) is found inaccurate. The safety function (22) assures operation of the outflow valve (17) even if the channel (15; 16) is out of function. Accordingly, the number of additional safety valves (18) may be reduced so that the weight of the system (10) is minimized. A manual control panel (26) is provided for backup.

Title: Method and apparatus for selective deep catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons
Inventor: LE VAN MAO RAYMOND
IPC: C10G11/05
Filed: 2000-11-03
Abstract: Provided herein is a method and apparatus for selective deep catalytic crracking of petroleum naphthas or other hydrocarbon feedstocks. The feed comprising the hydrocarbons to be cracked and steam, in well-defined proportions, is first sent into a precatalytic zone (Zone I) of a steam cracking reactor, preferably a tubular reactor. In a preferred embodiment, Zone I, contains beads of some catalytically mildly activ eporous material such as quartz or quartz doped with Cr-Al, is set at a temperature T1. The gas stream flows then through a catalyst bed, called Zone II, where the catalytic reaction takes place. Zone II is set at temperature T2 and contains a zeolite type catalyst, preferably ZSM5 zeolite or, most preferably, a hybrid zeolite catalyst. It is shown that by moderately increasing the temperature T1 of Zone I, it is possible to have an increased total conversion of n-hexane used as model molecule for petroleum naphthas and an increased yield of light olefins (and aromatics), when compared to the parent ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst. The ethylene/propylene product ratio is closely dependent of the temperature T1 if all other reaction parameters are kept constant and can be widely varied (from 1.0 to 2.0 for instance) for a limited ranged of variation of temperature T1.

Title: Tube reactor based on a laminate
Inventor: JAHN PETER
IPC: F28D1/06
Filed: 2002-08-02
Abstract: A tube reactor is based on a laminate that has at least three structure layers (1, 2, 3) and a covering layer (4, 5) on the top and on the underside of the laminate. Each structured layer (1, 2, 3) has many openings (6, 7) which are arranged in one or more longitudinal rows and are elongated, in particular transverse to the longitudinal rows. The openings (6, 6') of a middle layer (1) intersect at least three openings (7 , 7') of an adjacent layer (2) or (3), and the sequence of intersecting openings (6, 6'; 7, 7') forms a channel (13) in the longitudinal direction or in the transverse direction of the layers (1; 2). The structured layers (1; 2) are arranged in a periodically recurring fashion. The rows of connected openings (6, 6'; 7, 7') form a channel in the longitudinal direction of the layers (1; 2; 3) which has low backmixing and defines the main directional flow for a fluid flowing through the layers. The openings (6, 6'; 7, 7') may have an elongated geometric shape, in particular be configured as slots, and the longitudinal axis of the main elongation direction of the openings (6, 6'; 7, 7') is at an angle a to the main direction of flow which is from 5° to 85°, preferably from 30° to 60°.

Patent CA-2402974-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GEHLOT NARAYAN L
IPC: H04B10/08
Filed: 2002-09-12
Abstract: An arrangement for monitoring the performance of each pump source in a fiber Raman amplifier arrangement utilizes a set of unique "signature"  signals, each signature signal impressed on a different pump input signal. At the receiver, the signature signals are extracted from the received, amplified signal. If a particular signature signal is missing at the receiver, this is indicative of failure of its associated pump source at the transmitter. If a particular signature signal is noticeable weaker than other received signature signals (as evidenced by, for example a low SNR  or high BER), this is indicative of a power loss in its associated pump source.  Since each signature signal is chosen to be unique, the identity of each pump source can be easily ascertained. In one embodiment, a low data rate signal is impressed on an RF signal used to modulate the pump prior to be applied to the transmission fiber. Alternatively, the RF modulation signal associated with each pump source can be offset by a predetermined frequency and the frequency offset used as the signature.
