Title: Procede d'exploitation d'un reseau multiposte
Inventor: LARSEN MARK SIEVERT
IPC: H04W40/12
Filed: 1998-06-05
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'exploitation d'un réseau de communication constitué de nombreux postes dont chacun peut transmettre et recevoir des données permettant de passer par des postes intermédiaires pour communiquer de manière opportuniste des messages à partir de postes de départ vers des postes de déstination. Chaque poste choisit un parmi un certain nombre de canaux d'appel possibles pour transmettre des signaux sonde à d'autres postes. Les signaux sonde contiennent des données identifiant le poste en question et inclut des renseignements sur sa connectivité avec d'autres postes. D'autres postes recevant les signaux sonde y répondent directement ou indirectement, indiquant ainsi au poste sondeur et aux autres postes s'ils sont disponibles comme postes de destination ou postes intermédiaires. Le poste sondeur évalue les réponses directes ou indirectes pour identifier d'autres postes avec lesquels il peut communiquer de façon optimale. Par exemple, les postes peuvent contrôler la capacité cumulative requise pour atteindre un autre poste et ainsi déterminer un profil de puissance pour les autres postes, à charge pour ces derniers de choisir à travers le réseau un itinéraire capable d'optimiser le profil de puissance. On optimise ainsi le maniement du flot de données à travers le réseau en réduisant au maximum les interférences et les conflits entre postes.

Preferred Features: The foamed polymer particles are maintained under mechanical pressure between the belts during microwave treatment. The microwave-absorbing medium is a liquid wetting the surface of the particles. An Independent claim is also included for an apparatus for continuously thermally joining foamed polymer particles to molded parts comprising two carrying belts (2a, 2b) and (2c, 2d) arranged in parallel with an intermediate space between them for inserting the polymer particles and microwave-absorbing material.

Abstract: A collectorless vacuum fan for floor maintenance machines
has a backplate with an inlet plate attached thereto in spaced
relationship, and an impeller between the backplate and inlet
plate. Both the backplate and the inlet plate extend radially
beyond the periphery of the impeller. A shaft mounts the
impeller for rotation. The inlet plate has a central opening
providing air to the hub of the impeller. Vanes on the
impeller discharge air out through a diffuser channel defined
by the space between the inlet plate and the backplate outside
the periphery of the impeller. Attachment elements for
mounting the inlet plate on the backplate leave the diffuser
channel substantially unobstructed so that air is discharged
about the entire periphery of the impeller. The fan has
increased air flow compared to a conventional fan having an
integral collector housing and decreased noise compared to a
fan having a 360 degree discharge and no diffuser.

IPC: G06T15/00

Abstract: An authoring system provides a realistic rendering that may be updated and
displayed continuously while simultaneously allowing full access to all authoring
tools. The system is an enhancement to an authoring environment for 3D
modeling. The rendering is incorporated in the authoring environment in a way that
avoids conflicting with the abstract images and tools useful for working with 3D
models such as would obtain in a WYSIWYG implementation. The computational
burden of rendering is handled by rendering in an asynchronous parallel thread
with respect to that supporting the authoring UI. The number of pixels that must
be ray-traced is reduced by several mechanisms including: limiting the number of
objects, limiting the resolution of the display, tailoring the size of the field-of-view
window (while providing orientation context by placing the rendering on top of a
wire-frame view). Also, only portions of the scene that are affected in a visible way
by updates are re-rendered. The rendering fits into the authoring context by
forming it in a selectable-size region in a wire-frame or other type of view. Also,
the authoring UI thread is executed at a higher priority than the rendering thread
(or some other control means) to insure the UI is not slowed down. The rendering
is placed on top of a wire frame so that it fits into and takes advantage of the wire-frame
view without interfering with it substantially. The rendering window can be
tailored to show precisely the part of the scene the author is working on.

Abstract: A plurality of electrostatic images are formed on a moving
tensioned belt (26) comprising an electrically conductive
base (58) having a non-conductive image-carrying surface
layer (59). The images are developed by passing the belt

a magnetic roller (51) and a backing member (53), in opposed
position to the magnetic roller (51), over which the belt
(26) passes. Under non-ideal conditions (defined in the
text), the image quality in terms of image density and
uniformity of image density and rendition of sharp image
transitions, is substantially improved by using an
alternating electrical field between the magnetic roller
(51) and the belt (26), the peak-to-peak voltage of which is

Abstract: A sweeping machine (10) has a wheel (12,14) supported body and a rotatable brush (16) mounted transversely of the direction of machine movement. There is a debris hopper (20) adjacent the brush and a dust collection chamber (24) on the body. A vacuum fan (30) draws dust laden air from the area about the brush (16), through the debris hopper (20), and into the dust collection chamber (24). The improvement comprises a dust control side skirt assembly mounted on each side of the body generally in alignment with the brush (16). Each such assembly includes a flexible inner skirt (54) and a flexible outer skirt (52) spaced from the inner skirt. A flexible spacer (60,62) extends between and is attached to the inner and outer skirts, with the spacer and skirts defining a cavity (70) which has an air opening (72) at a lower portion of the side skirt assembly. The air opening is formed by a discontinuity in the spacer. There is an opening (74) in the inner skirt connecting the cavity (70) with the area about the brush whereby the vacuum fan (30) creates an airflow path through the air opening (72), into the cavity (70), through the inner skirt opening (74) and into the debris hopper and dust collection chamber.
