Patent EP-1025506-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MOIIN HOSSEIN
IPC: G06F11/20
Filed: 1998-10-20
Abstract: Cluster membership in a distributed computer system is determined by determining with which other nodes each node is in communication and distributing that connectivity information through the nodes of the system. Accordingly, each node can determine an optimized new cluster based upon the connectivity information. Specifically, each node has information regarding with which nodes the node is in communication and similar information for each other node of the system. Therefore, each node has complete information regarding interconnectivity of all nodes which are directly or indirectly connected. Each node applies optimization criteria to such connectivity information to determine an optimal new cluster. Data represent the optimal new cluster is broadcast by each node. In addition, the optimal new cluster determined by the various nodes are collected by each node. Thus, each node has data representing the proposed new cluster which is perceived by each respective node to be optimal. Each node uses such data to elect a new cluster from the various proposed new clusters. For example, the new cluster represented by more proposed new clusters than any other is elected as the new cluster. Since each node receives the same proposed new clusters from the potential member nodes of the new cluster, the new cluster membership is reached unanimously. In addition, since each node has more complete information regarding the potential member nodes of the new cluster, the resulting new cluster consistently has a relatively optimal configuration.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method in the drying of a paper
web, in which method, after the press section of
the paper machine, the paper web is dried in a number
of successive groups with single-wire draw, in which
groups the contact-drying cylinders are placed in the
upper row and the reversing suction cylinders in the
lower row or in equivalent diagonal or vertical rows.
In the method the paper web is pressed by means of the
drying wire against the heated faces of the contact-drying
cylinders, and the paper web is passed, in each
group with single-wire draw, on support of the same
drying wire from one contact-drying cylinder onto the
next contact-drying cylinder over the reversing suction
cylinders. From the side of its lower face,
across the entire length of the dryer section, the paper
web is dried by means of contact-drying cylinders.
The paper web is passed as a closed draw from one
group with single-wire draw to the next group. The paper
web is guided, while it is placed on the drying
wire at the side of the outside curve, by means of
said reversing suction cylinders with a curve radius
D 2 /2, which is chosen as D 2 /2 ≈ 250...1000 mm, preferably
D 2 /2 ≈ 500...800 mm, that the paper web is kept in
constant contact with the drying wire, as it is placed
at the side of the outside curve, against the effect
of centrifugal forces by means of a difference in
pressure, which difference in pressure is extended
over the entire inner circumference of said reversing
suction cylinders, and that onto the lower face of the
paper web a moist medium is fed, preferably moist air
and/or water mist, so as to equalize the moisture profile
of the paper web in the z-direction.

Abstract: A system and method provide sophisticated analysis of program viewership by
executing interactive applications that generate responses describing the viewers'
behavior. A broadcast server maintains a database of interactive applications each
preferably associated with a program that will be broadcast. The interactive
applications preferably include monitoring interactive applications that are configured
to selectively monitor viewership, interactive application usage, and reception terminal
usage. When the program is broadcast, the monitoring interactive application is
inserted into the broadcast feed and delivered to a broadcast receiver such as a
television set-top box. The broadcast receiver includes a processor, memory, and other
hardware necessary to execute the interactive application. When executed, the
interactive application monitors usage of the broadcast receiver, including, for example,
the program watched by the subscriber, the entry and exit paths to the program,
whether the volume was changed during the program, and the usage of interactive
applications. The monitored data is sent in a response packet to a local data center at,
for example, the cable headend. The local data center supplements the response with
subscriber information from one or more subscriber databases, including marketing
information such as the subscriber's age, race, and income. Information about all of the
subscribers is aggregated by the local data center and transmitted to a master data
center. The master data center aggregates all of the received information, supplements
it if possible with additional subscriber information, and provides reports to the
broadcaster indicating the geographic, demographic, and psychographic profiles of the
program viewers.

Abstract: This invention relates to a bicycle having a driving force
transmitting mechanism with oscillating fulcrum point. A sliding
part is provided with a dust cover or a brush to prevent dust
and the like from being entered therein and to remove the dust,
if entered, therefrom. When a rider steps on the pedals
alternatively, force of the pedal levers generated by the
oscillation of the pedal levers is transmitted to the
sprocket through the crank lever. When the pedal levers
oscillate, an oscillating fulcrum point of the pedal lever
is moved in a lateral direction within the sliding part.
The rotating force of the sprocket is transmitted to the
rear wheel through a chain. Even if the locus Q of motion
of the pedal is different in the first half period (a
stepping-on period) and the second half period (a
stepping-up period), a smooth movement of the pedal is
assured. Such a smooth movement can be kept enough by the dust
cover.

Abstract: Businesses with a number of clients have a need to allocate communication costs to the client on whose behalf the costs were incurred. This invention provides a means whereby the telecommunication carrier can charge call costs originating from a single line 2 to one of a plurality of accounts 8 selected by the user of the phone 1. At the exchange 3, a flag 5 associated with line 2 notifies the processor 6 that an account A/C No must be selected before a call can be made via line 2. A Recorded Voice Message (RVM) or specific dial tone is sent to the user of the phone 1 to notify him of the need to select an account (optionally after entering a PIN). When the user selects the account, the line 2 is enabled to initiate a call through the network via switch 4. The processor 6 charges the cost for the call to the selected account. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An intermittent extension service that is a mechanism for temporarily
adding a member to a multi-appearance directory number type of service
(e.g., EKTS or MADN) without sacrificing security. Service subscription data
identifies the subscriber as having ordered a specific number of simultaneous
extensions. The number of extensions is then provisioned by appropriate
network resources. Thereafter, whenever a subscriber wishes, they can
activate an additional extension by causing it to register with the telephone
network. Similarly, the subscriber can de-activate extensions located where it
is known that there is no one present to answer the phone when it rings.
Thus, the subscriber is given the ability to provision and manage the physical
locations of clients for the number of extensions ordered from the service
provider.

Information between the network elements is transmitted in frames that are divided into time slots. The base station controller (302) controls one or more network elements. Network identification information is fed into a network element to be installed and the network element is physically connected to the system by means of the telecommunication connections. To ensure reliable and quick network element installation in the frames that are used for communication with the network elements by the base station controller, unused consecutive time slots of the frames are divided into one or more groups (406, 412). Each group has one time slot (408, 414) used as a communication control channel as regards time slot allocation from said group. The base station controller allocates necessary telecommunication capacity for the use of the communication between the network element and the base station controller, and the allocated telecommunication capacity is branched by software through the telecommunication connections to the network elements.
