Patent EP-1350758-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SINCLAIR MICHAEL J
IPC: B81B3/00
Filed: 2003-01-30
Abstract: An electrostatic bimorph actuator includes a cantilevered
flexible bimorph arm that is secured and insulated at one end to a planar
substrate. In an electrostatically activated state the bimorph arm is
generally parallel to the planar substrate. In a relaxed state, residual stress
in the bimorph arm causes its free end to extend out-of-plane from the
planar substrate. The actuator includes a substrate electrode that is
secured to and insulated from the substrate and positioned under and in
alignment with the bimorph arm. An electrical potential difference applied
between the bimorph arm and the substrate electrode imparts electrostatic
attraction between the bimorph arm and the substrate electrode to activate
the actuator. As an exemplary application in which such actuators could
be used, a microelectrical mechanical optical display system is described.

Abstract: The invention refers to a method for monitoring a
communication media access schedule of a communication
controller (5) of a communication system (1) by means of a
bus guardian (6). The communication system (1) comprises a
communication media (2) and nodes (3) connected to the
communication media (2). Each node (3) comprises a
communication controller (5) and a bus guardian (6)
assigned to the communication controller (5). Messages are
transmitted among the nodes (3) across the communication
media (2) based on a cyclic time triggered communication
media access scheme. In order to provide a mechanism which
allows the bus guardian (6) to monitor the communication
media access scheme of the communication controller (5)
even during startup of the communication it is suggested,
that the bus guardian (6) has a priori knowledge about
possible deviations from the communication media access
schedule during startup of the communication and that the
bus guardian (6) during startup makes use of the a priori
knowledge to distinguish between an allowed deviation and a
forbidden deviation caused by a failure of the
communication controller (5).

Abstract: When direct communication is performed between a cellular phone
2a having an IC card 1a inserted in its slot and a cellular phone 2b having an
IC card 1b inserted in its slot, the IC cards 1a and 1b perform mutual
authentication, and then notify each other of the IDs of the IC cards and the
connection information of the cellular phones. Subsequently, one IC card 1
capable of connecting to a server 3 performs mutual authentication with the
server 3, and then notifies the server 3 of the ID and the connection
information concerning the other IC card. Thus, even if the other IC card is
in a state where it cannot directly communicate with the server 3, the ID and
the connection information concerning the other IC card can be managed in
the server 3.

Abstract: The circuit (1) has a HF voltage stage (Gsi) coupled to a voltage converter (Gsu) for providing the HV for operation of the X-ray tube, with a voltage regulator (G RU) comparing the actual X-ray tube voltage (V U(t)) with a required X-ray tube voltage (W U(t)), for providing a first setting value (Y U(t)) for the HF voltage stage. A measuring circuit (7) determines the oscillation current (V I(t)) at the output of the HF voltage stage for comparison with a maximum value (W Imax), for providing a second setting value (Y I(t)) for the HF voltage stage. The setting values are compared for controlling a switching device (8) supplying the smaller setting value to the HF voltage stage.  Also included are Independent claims for the following:  (a) an X-ray generator; and (b) a method for generating an X-ray tube voltage.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of forwarding a multicast message in
network communication. In the method: first, configure forwarding match condition at
the entry interface to the network device requiring forwarding of a multicast message (1), the
forwarding match condition regulates a forwarding rule for the multicast message; then,
match the multicast message to be forwarded to network device through the interface
with the forwarding match condition (2), and forward the multicast message according to
the matching result (4,5). The present invention can configure the sending mode of messages
according to requirement and can effectively avoid risks in security that may be caused
by the broadcast mode for the multicast messages in the link layer as well as efficiency
loss caused by receiving a great deal of invalid multicast messages, and the
configuration is simple, and more convenient use and management is realized. In the
present invention, forwarding a multicast message through configuring a multicast message
forwarding rule greatly reduces the number of various multicast protocol messages
generated in the multicast network and saves bandwidth resource of network.

Abstract: A data transmitter-receiver 30 arranged on a ring network to form a node
includes a normal-direction data transmit/receive unit 19, a reverse-direction data
transmit/receive unit 20, a buffer control unit 13, a controller 14, and connectors 11,
12. The normal-direction data transmit/receive unit 19 includes a received signal
demodulator 7, an input buffer 3, an output buffer 1, an intermediate buffer 2, a
sending signal modulator 8, and data buses 15, 16. The reverse-direction data
transmit/receive unit 20 has the same construction as the normal-direction data
transmit/receive unit 19. Two-way data transmission and verification of transmitted
data in each node serves to locate a failure, and the buffer control unit 13 selectively
activates or deactivates the buffers to compensate the failure. Thus, adequate detection,
accurate location, proper compensation of a failure can be achieved in a relatively
low-cost network system so that the communication functionality of the whole system
can be maintained.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un raccord de tuyauterie à filetage conique haute résistance, présentant un rapport de changement de rayon par tour sur la modification de la largeur du filetage par tour, tel que ce rapport permet de conserver à la fois un joint fileté et une étanchéité, même lorsque le raccord est soumis à des charges d'exploitation transitoires, telles que les vibrations, les chocs, la courbure, la tension, la compression, la torsion et/ou les changements de température. La forme filetée peut être ouverte ou piégée afin d'être utilisée sur un tuyau de gros ou de petit diamètre; elle peut consister en un joint affleuré; comprendre des colliers d'un diamètre plus grand que celui du tuyau; des raccords à deux chevilles; des raccords pour outils et accessoires; cette forme peut également être utilisée pour raccorder provisoirement des postes de structures solides à des éléments de base pour lesquels une large gamme de couple de vissage répétitif est souhaitée. Les filetages sont faciles à fabriquer et à monter, et ils permettent de réduire les dégâts pouvant être provoqués par les manipulations. Le raccord décrit dans l'invention présente une capacité de couple très élevée sans utilisation d'épaulements; de plus, il peut être soumis à une 'accélération de la rotation' répétée et serré sur une large gamme de couple, sans modification significative de la position de vissage finale.
