Abstract: Procédé et système visant à réduire les besoins en mémoire pour des données d'affichage sur un système informatique (12). Des objets de données (22) à afficher sont organisés par listes d'affichage et chacun d'eux comporte un type d'objet, tel que texte, graphique et image. Lesdits objets de données (22) sont convertis d'images vectorielles en images point à point dans un tampon à bande non condensée et divisés en régions en mode point ne se coupant pas, dont chacune est identifiée à l'aide d'un ou de plusieurs types d'objets. A chaque région non vide est affecté un algorithme de compression dépendant du type de région et des contraintes de compression spécifiées. Si nécessaire, lesdites régions sont combinées les unes avec les autres en des régions plus grandes, et chaque région est comprimée à l'aide de l'algorithme de compression qui lui a été assigné dans un tampon à bande condensée, réduisant ainsi l'espace mémoire nécessaire pour les objets de données. Les données condensées sont décomprimées dans l'ordre des lignes de balayage à l'aide d'un algorithme de décompression sélectionné correspondant aux algorithmes de compression affectés, pour donner des données de sortie non comprimées. Ces dernières sont fournies à un dispositif d'affichage (16) de sortie pour affichage.

Title: Distributed system for communication networks in multi-user applications
Inventor: ALLRED JOHN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1997-05-14
Granted: 2004-07-20
Abstract: The present invention is directed to overcoming bandwidth limitations of network backbones (10) to allow for true national participation in multi-user applications across a large scale network (20). Three techniques are used to minimize the amount of backbone loading: (1) a fully distributed system architecture is described that retains national participation in each application environment by allocating resources among responsible servers (22) at remote locations; (2) Multiple zones of interest are defined within an application environment so that only relevant data applicable to each participant (1-100) within a given application environment is transmitted across the network backbone; and (3) seamless multi-server management is described that provides interaction across application environment regional boundaries without sacrificing continuity among participants or increasing the number of postcards transmitted. The present invention therefore provides a distributed system that offers multi-user applications nationwide interaction among participants within the present bandwidth limitations of existing network backbones.

Abstract: The concept and evolution of pacing algorithms and the benefits that result from their use in predictive dialers in call centre activities have been appreciated for a number of years. Predictive dialing is a state of the art technology for call centres. A  predictive dialer automatically dials new customers before the call centre agents or attendants finish talking with their current customers. In this way, the predictive dialer is able to connect the new customers to the agents immediately after the agents become available. The core of the predictive dialing technology is the pacing algorithm which directs the telephone dialer as to when and how many customer telephone numbers it should dial. Pacing processes use predictive engines to estimate how many currently busy agents may become available within a given timeframe. Most existing predictive engines predict the agent availability in terms of yes/ no decisions on an agent by agent basis. This approach does not fit very well with the real call centre situation where the availability of the agents as a whole is more essential than the availability of each individual agent. The pacing algorithm of the subject of this application, is based upon mathematical probability models and provides more accuracy in the dialing of outgoing telephone calls from a call centre than the use of presently known pacing algorithms. None of the existing algorithms take into account the multi-dimensional aspect of the probabilistic model as is described. The use of this algorithm could eliminate or at least minimize annoying calls from both customers and the attendant's point of view, when calls are made, and it is subsequently found that no one is at the other end of the connection.

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à un coussinet de coin de retenue muni d'une surface de contact (26a) avec le tube sensiblement lisse, lequel coussinet est utilisé dans un ensemble de retenue classique comme mécanisme principal (34) de serrage de tube (13). Un deuxième ensemble de retenue classique comportant des coussinets de retenue classiques munis de dents pénétrantes (37) sur leurs surfaces de contact est utilisé comme mécanisme de serrage auxiliaire pour enserrer automatiquement le tube dans le cas où le mécanisme principal lâche prise. Les éléments de retenue lisses (26a) sont réalisés dans un matériau malléable qui tend à épouser les irrégularités présentes à la surface extérieure du tube afin d'augmenter la force de serrage qui s'exerce sur le tube. Selon le procédé de la présente invention, le tube est d'abord enserré par le mécanisme de retenue principal (34) avant que le mécanisme auxiliaire ne soit actionné de manière à être mis en contact avec le tube (13). Les coins de retenue (36, 37) sont fixés par la force que le tube exerce vers le bas et qui agit sur les coussinets de sorte que les dents de coussinet du mécanisme auxiliaire (37) n'enserrent pas le tube tant que le mécanisme de retenue principal fonctionne. Le système et le procédé de la présente invention permettent de serrer le tube sans que les dents des coussinets ne laissent de marques dommageables sur le tube au cours d'opérations normales de manipulation du tube, un mécanisme auxiliaire étant prêt à enserrer automatiquement le tube si le mécanisme de serrage principal lâche prise.

Abstract: In a steam cooling type gas turbine, a sealing structure for improving sealing performance between an interior of a rotor and a gas path of a turbine section which performs inter-disk sealing such that leakage of cooling steam and self-induced vibration of a baffle plate are prevented. A groove is formed along a circumferential direction in an end face of at least one of disk lands which protrude in opposition to each other between adjacent rotor disks, and an annular sealing member having an interior space is disposed in a sandwiched fashion, being brought into contact under pressure with an inner wall surface of the groove and an end face of the other disk land, or alternatively, an inner wall surface of a groove formed in the other disk land to thereby realize the inter-disk sealing structure for the gas turbine. Upon rotation of the turbine, sealing surface pressure is increased by centrifugal force to thereby reliably maintain sealing between the disks of the gas turbine, and the sealing performance in the gas turbine is improved.

Granted: 2001-12-25
Abstract: Pour la conversion du mouvement linéaire alternatif en mouvement rotatif dan s un moteur réciproque, on fait souvent appel à l'ensemble piston-bielle- vilebrequin. Dans un tel système, les mouvements effectués par la bielle empêche l'utilisation d' un piston à double effet. De plus, les forces d'inertie du premier et du second ordre inhérentes au système imposent de grandes contraintes.  La présente invention est un mécanisme de conversion du mouvement linéaire alternatif en mouvement rotatif. Elle s'applique, sans toutefois s'y limiter, aux moteu rs réciproques.   Le mécanisme est ainsi constitué:  Deux arbres(2) de transmission parallèle, chacun ayant un axe de rotation et  muni d'une roue dentée(9) ainsi qu'un excentrique(1) fixé par rapport à l'arbre(2). Les  roues dentées(9) en contact mutuel ont un sens de rotation inverse l'une par rappo rt à l'autre. Chaque excentrique(1) est en mouvement à l'intérieur d'une biellette(5). La connexion des biellettes(5) à un bras transversal(6) en S, est faite à l'aide de pivots(7). Une tige(8) perpendiculaire au bras transversal(6) raccorde le piston(11).  Un contrepoids(3) sur chaque arbres(2) dans le but de faire opposition aux forces générées par l'inertie du mécanisme.
