Inventor: PATRICK MICHAEL W
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-04-24
Abstract: Distance vector routing protocols such as the Routing Information Protocol fail to rapidly reconfigure to use redundant links. By modifying the outgoing advertised hop count (31) upon detecting a failure in a connection (32) for which a backup or redundant connection exists, incoming traffic is diverted to the redundant or backup connection (33). An artificially high hop count (31) is advertised for a given port, and when a failure or loss of reachability occurs in a connection associated with that port (32), an advertisement of a lower hop count on the backup or redundant connection for the given port is triggered (33). This causes rapid rerouting of incoming traffic to the backup or redundant connection.

Title: Degradation de nitramines cycliques
Inventor: BHUSHAN BHARAT
IPC: A62D101/28
Filed: 2002-11-27
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de dégradation de nitramines, et plus particulièrement des explosifs que sont les RDX, HMX, CL20 et tétryle. Ces nitramines sont chimiquement attaquables par voie chimique, biochimique ou biologique. L'invention convient à la dégradation de tels composés explosifs susceptibles d'être présents dans le sol. On peut attaquer les nitramines cycliques au niveau des liaisons de façon à provoquer un clivage du cycle qui, en présence d'eau, peut aboutir à une décomposition hydrolytique puis à une minéralisation. Pour éviter que la réaction de décomposition ne subisse une réduction séquentielle donnant le dérivé nitroso correspondant, la nitrosation étant la réduction du -N0¿2? en -NO), on peut emprunter deux voies: (a) attaque d'une liaison -N-N0¿2? (dénitration) suivie d'une hydratation ou (b) attaque d'une liaison CH¿2? (.alpha.-hydroxylation) donnant un carbinol instable avant clivage et décomposition. L'invention convient particulièrement à la réhabilitation de sols et d'eaux contaminés par ces explosifs.

Abstract: Techniques to detect for DTX frames in a "primary" transmission that may be sent in a non-continuous manner using a "secondary" transmission that is sen t during periods of no transmission for the primary transmission. The primary and secondary transmissions may be the ones sent on the F-DCCH and Forward Power Control Subchannel, respectively, in an IS-2000 system. In one method, a determination is first made whether or not a frame received for the primary transmission in a particular frame interval is a good frame (e.g., based on CRC). If the received frame is not a good frame, then a determination is nex t made whether the received frame is a DTX frame or an erased frame based on a number of metrics determined for the primary and secondary transmissions. Th e metrics may include symbol error rate of the received frame, secondary transmission (e.g., PC bit) energy, and received frame energy.
