Abstract: The molecular weight of NYLON 11 TM  (a polyamide made from aminoundecanoic acid) has been found to be a reliable indicator of the mechanical properties and remaining useful life of parts made therefrom. By periodically monitoring the molecular weight, and comparing the measured molecular weight to a standard curve or table, the expected useful life remaining, rate of deterioration, time of part replacement, and mechanical properties of a part can be determined. The molecular weight may advantageously be determined using witness coupons placed in close proximity to the part such that they are exposed to the same processing and environmental conditions as the part. These witness coupons can advantageously be retrieved at the required time period using a spooled piece of pipe or the like. Alternatively, the molecular weight may advantageously be determined from core samples taken from the part being monitored, during use in the field, on a periodic basis. In addition, the molecular weight might also be inferred from a sample held in a laboratory which is exposed to substantially the same environmental conditions as the part. The molecular weight measurements can be made using standard techniques and equipment such as a viscometer, gel permeation equipment, or light scattering equipments.

Abstract: In a packet radio network, the position updates of a mobile station are transmitted in UI frames, whose priority is higher than that of I frames which transmit payload traffic and whose header comprises the cell for identifier of the mobile station. If the mobile station moves from a first cell to a second, an SGSN node can receive the I frame later than the UI frame giving the location update; the SGSN node thus incorrectly concluding that the mobile station has returned to the first cell. The incorrect location update is prevented in such a way that: (i) the transmitter or a following network element provides at least some frames with a sequence identifier, which is not dependent on the frame type; and (ii) at least one network element receiving the frame observes the sequence identifier of the frames and concludes that the location and/or routing information of the frame is incorrect, if the sequence identifier shows that the frame is older than a previously received frame.

Abstract: Un système de fichier de diffusion organise des données envoyées à un client par diffusion via un réseau de remise de données par diffusion de haute capacité à partir d'une pluralité de serveurs. Les données sont organisées en un système hiérarchique de fichiers comprenant un index de répertoires. Un serveur s'enregistre pour envoyer des données via le système hiérarchisé de fichier de la présente invention et il se voit attribué un répertoire respectif. Le serveur peut créer, modifier ou effacer un sous-répertoire ou un fichier sous le répertoire respectif de ce serveur. L'index du répertoire est diffusé périodiquement. Le client met en anté-mémoire cet index de répertoire et il présente l'index de répertoire à une application client. L'application client peut demander une partie des données de l'index de répertoire. Les données disponibles à partir de la pluralité de serveurs sont diffusées périodiquement au client et le client filtre la partie voulue de données à fournir à l'application client. Ainsi, les données diffusées disponibles à partir d'une pluralité de serveur apparaissent dans l'application client sous la forme d'un système hiérarchisé de fichier présentant un index de répertoire similaire à celui d'un système d'exploitation d'ordinateur. De plus, l'application client peut demander des données spécifiées ne se trouvant pas dans l'index de répertoire par l'intermédiaire d'un réseau de communications bi-directionnelles. Si ces données sont trouvées, ces données spécifiées peuvent être envoyées au client par l'intermédiaire du réseau de communications bi-directionnelles ou par l'intermédiaire du réseau de remise de diffusion. De plus, le système hiérarchisé de fichier de la présente invention peut être utilisé pour la diffusion de données à partir d'une base de données avec l'index de répertoire organisé selon un schéma de base de données.

Abstract: A microbiosensor for the continuous monitoring of chemical substances in fluids. For the last two decades much work has been done in developing biosensors with specific applications (industrial, biomedical and environmental among others) that can now compete with the classical analytical technologies but these apparatus, that are based on the retention of microorganisms in membranes, have intrinsic limitations. The two principal innovations brought forward in respect of the present technology are; The continuous availability of microorganisms when using a chemostat which allows the monitoring of samples with elevated toxicity, discarding the microorganisms used after every reading, eliminating the membrane which physically separates the medium to be analyzed and the transducer, thus allowing the amplification of the linear range of the signal and drastically reducing the time needed to reach a steady signal. It is presented a microbiosensor system to monitor on-line chemical substances in fluids. An example of the application is the using of the system to determine the on-line biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in water. <IMAGE>
