Patent EP-1278348-A1 (EP)
Inventor: YANG MINGGUEY MICHAEL
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2001-07-17
Abstract: A TCP connection provides a fast suspend-resume operation to deal with the problem
of frequent disconnections of mobile users. When a mobile user is temporarily
disconnected, TCP quickly suspends all data transmission between the mobile user and
the fixed host. When the mobile user is reconnected, TCP resumes all data transmission
between the mobile user and the fixed host. 
     The path between two users in a cellular communication system (mobile host and
fixed host) is broken into two paths. First, the data is sent from the mobile host to a
supervisor host. Next, the data is sent from the supervisor host to the mobile host. When
a link disconnect occurs, the supervisor host closes the fixed host's window gradually,
from its left window edge, by allowing the fixed host to continue to transmit the rest of
TCP segments within its current window. The mobile host uses an ICMP probe request
and a probe response failure timer to determine if the link is broken. The supervisor host
uses an ICMP suspend request suspension timer to detect a link failure. 
     When the supervisor host receives the ICMP probe request, it determines that the link
is operational and that the connection can be resumed. The supervisor host will forward
stored TCP segments to the mobile host. In addition, the supervisor host sends an ICMP
probe response message to the mobile host. As a result, the connection is resumed with
the same characteristics as prior to the link failure.

Filed: 2001-09-18
Abstract: The method, device and medium according to the invention
provide (restricted) forward compatibility to higher
device/medium versions. It is provided a defined behaviour of
an older device, if it has to handle information of a higher
version number than supported by itself. A device according
to the invention is able to provide restricted (e.g.
playback) functionality of its records to older devices. So,
a newer device is assured, that older devices will not damage
the additionally stored information: This is important,
because only a newer device is able to understand these
additional information, and to process it correctly.

Abstract: Exchangeable fitting comprises a housing (12); a removable measuring probe (14) which axially moves in the housing and can be introduced into a container; a shut-off device (16); and a guiding unit which axially moves in the housing and holds and guides the probe between a measuring position and a standby position. The measuring probe has a body (15) and a sensor and is positioned with its body on the front side of the guiding unit. The sensor is fixed to the free side of the body in the direction of the container. The cross-section of the guiding unit is less than the cross-section of the measuring probe. Preferred Features: The fitting has a fixing unit which places the probe in a measuring and a standby position. The fixing unit interacts with the shut-off device to prevent the probe from being removed when the shut-off device is open.

Abstract: A method for the production of a functional coating on a substrate (19), arranged in a chamber (40), is disclosed, whereby a plasma (21) is generated by means of an inductively-coupled, high-frequency plasma beam source (5) with a burner body (25) with an outlet opening (26), defining a plasma generation chamber (27). Said plasma (21) passes through the outlet opening in the form of a plasma beam (20) from the plasma beam source (5) into the chamber (40) connected thereto, where the above impinges on the substrate (19) to produce the functional coating. Furthermore, a pressure gradient is at least intermittently generated between the interior of the chamber (40) and the plasma generation chamber, which generates an acceleration of the particles contained in the plasma beam (20) onto the substrate (19).

Abstract: The dowel (1) has a mandrel (11), the outer peripheral surface (16) of which
has, in a distal end section (15) designed to be housed in the blind hole, a recess (22),
the bottom (29) of which extends away from the axis (2) of the mandrel (11) in a
direction towards the distal end (14) of the mandrel (11). The recess (22) houses a
wedge-shaped block (23) which, by sliding over the bottom (29) of the recess (22),
becomes anchored in the inner peripheral surface of the blind hole. Between the
recess (22) and the distal end (14) of the mandrel (11), the outer peripheral surface
(16) of the mandrel has a flat surface (37) set back towards the axis (2) from a
cylindrical surface (38) jacketing the outer peripheral surface (16) of the mandrel
(11). 
     The flat surface (37) avoids an outflow from the block (23) through plastic flow
and enables a ductile material such as soft steel to be used for the block (23) as for the
mandrel (11).

IPC: E04F21/05

Abstract: A screeding device (2) and system are disclosed. The device (2) comprises
two pairs of limbs (4,6,8,10) each having distal (20,22,24,26)
and proximal ends (12,14,16,18), the latter
having apertures through which a first bolt (28) passes to mount the said
limbs (4,6,8,10) thereto. The limbs (4,6,8,10) of each pair are mounted on the first bolt
adjacent one another whereas each pair of limbs (4,6,8,10) are separated by a
cylindrical spacer (32) also mounted on the bolt (28), and the manner in which
the limbs (4,6,8,10) are mounted on said first bolt (28) permits their angular rotation
both relative to one another and relative to the first bolt (28). The distal
ends (20,22,24,26) of each pair are disposed on either side of the first bolt (28) when
viewed from above to stabilise the device when disposed on a floor,
and each of the distal ends (20,22,24,26) on both sides are linked by secondary
spacer means (38,40). To effect the simultaneous and identical angular
adjustment of the limbs (4,6,8,10) about the first bolt (28), a second bolt (54) having
oppositely orientated threads (58,60) on either side of its mid point is
received in suitably tapped apertures (46,50) in the secondary spacer means (38,40) so
that the second bolt (54) is perpendicular to and passes underneath the
first bolt (28). The rotation of the second bolt (54) thus either causes the
simultaneous and identical angular displacement of the limbs (4,6,8,10) on either
side of the first bolt (28), and in causing these limbs (4,6,8,10) to move towards or
away from each other, the height of the uppermost surface of the
device can be altered accurately and easily. The screeding system
disclosed comprises a plurality of these devices connected by tubes
attached to the free ends on the first bolts (28) which project at either end
of the device to create rails which when aligned in parallel manner can
support a screed levelling device for sliding motion thereover.

Abstract: The defocus measuring system uses a detector, linked to a processing unit which acts upon two images detected by the detector. The differences between the two images derived from the same source are analysed in order to determine the degree of defocusing, and hence control the focusing system. The system for measuring the defocusing affecting an optical instrument (1) includes a detector (5) situated at a position where the light rays converge, providing an image of the source object situated at infinity. A separation device (4) divides the beam of received rays into two sub-beams. A processing unit (6) is provided to carry out a correlation between the two images of the same zone of the source object which are obtained simultaneously via the detector (5). A calculation based on the shift between these two images is carried out, in order to evaluate the defocusing w.r.t. the shift value between the images. The output from the processing unit is used to control the focusing mechanism.

The sequin head has a pneumatic control unit with a piston return spring regulating the clutch lever and drive. The ribbon feed has a ratchet wheel engaging with a ratchet on the drive rod. Sequin dispensers may be mounted side-by-side. The arrangement minimises the time window for feed and separation.
