Patent CA-2334132-A1 (CA)
Inventor: THEOPHALL PETER
IPC: H04B10/08
Filed: 2000-03-31
Abstract: A method is provided for automatically identifying a system fault in an optical communication system that includes first and second transmission paths for supporting bidirectional communication. In accordance with the method, measurements are made of a plurality of optical gain values respectively generated by a plurality of optical amplifier units disposed in respective loop back paths extending through the first and second transmission paths of the optical communication system. A gain signature is obtained by subtracting a plurality of baseline values from the plurality of optical gain values. Directional state changes are located along the gain signature to identify a plurality of directional states. Each of the directional states is assigned a pre-established state such that the gain signature is represented by a sequence of pre-established states. The sequence of pre-established states of said gain signature is compared to a plurality of predetermined sequences of pre-established states. The predetermined sequences each correspond to a known fault condition. At least one exact match is identified between the sequence of pre-established states of the gain signature and the pre-determined sequences. The matching predetermined sequence identifies the system fault that gives rise to the gain signature.

Abstract: A curable, high temperature, carbonaceous, cement paste composition comprising a catalyst; a carbon filler present in an amount of about 20 to about 60 wt. %; a polymerizable monomeric system present in an amount of about 7 to about 30 wt. % comprising a dialkyl ester of an aromatic tetracarboxylic acid, an aromatic diamine, and a monoalkyl ester of an acid selected from the group consisting of 5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid and phthalic acid; and a furan solvent present in an amount of about 20 to about 60 wt. %. The most preferred embodiment comprising a monomeric system comprising a dimethyl ester of 3,3',4,4'-benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid, 2,2'-bis (4-[4- aminophenoxyl]phenyl)propane and a monomethyl ester of 5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid with furfuryl alcohol and a catalytic solution of about 50% ZnCl2, has a glass transition temperature of about 280°C after curing by heating at about 2°C/minute to about 240°C and holding for about 2 hours. Upon curing, the cement paste composition maintains a strength of at least about 2000 psi at room temperature after heat treatment at about 3000°C even when cured at a substantially lower temperature of at least about 200°C. Subsequent heating of the monomeric binder causes further cross- linking producing a stronger and more stable cement for use at service temperatures greater than the initial glass transition temperature of the cured cement. The curable cement composition may be used along with a pre-coat in an adhesive system for attaching together carbon bodies. Most preferably, the pre-coat comprises about 27 wt. %, of a monomeric system comprising a dimethyl ester of 3,3',4,4'-benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid, 2,2'-bis (4-[4- aminophenoxyl]phenyl)propane and a monomethyl ester of 5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid dissolved in about 65 to about 85 wt. % furfuryl alcohol.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for the production of pellets of a sterically hindered phenol antioxidant such that the pellets have a balanced hardness so as to resist abrasion during conveyance yet being readily dispersed in a host plastic. Such novel pellets are achieved through the use of a processing aid consisting of a solvent selected from the group consisting of methylene chloride, chloroform, toluene, acetone, methylethylketone, xylene, cyclohexane, styrene, methylcyclohexane and hexane having at least 1 gram of antioxidant dissolved therein per 100 grams of solvent and thereafter using the resulting solution of solvent and antioxidant to form a paste of additional portions of the antioxidant which is thereafter extruded, pelleted, and dried. The present invention further provides a novel process for controlling the hardness of a pelleted sterically hindered phenol antioxidant through the addition of from 0 to 80 weight percent of an alcohol of the formula ROH wherein R is an alkyl group of from 1 to 8 carbon atoms to the solvent system employed in the preparation of the processing aid and paste of antioxidant for further processing. The hardness of the resulting pellets is inverse to the amount of alcohol employed in the system.
