Abstract: Un ou plusieurs modes de réalisation de l'invention comprennent un environnement informatique qui offre un niveau de décentralisation dans lequel un code serveur d'application logé sur un serveur d'application à distance peut être distribué à un serveur local. Ce serveur local devient un serveur d'application local pour un client. Une demande d'information d'un client est satisfaite par un pilote de demande sur le serveur d'application local. Si l'information est disponible sur le serveur d'application local, le pilote de demande satisfait la demande en utilisant cette information. Si l'information n'est pas disponible localement, le pilote de demande peut avoir accès au serveur d'application à distance de façon à obtenir l'information demandée. Lorsque l'information est copiée au niveau du serveur d'application local, le pilote de demande garde une copie de l'information et fait suivre une copie au client. Ainsi, des demandes ultérieures peuvent-elles être satisfaites sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'accéder au serveur d'application à distance. Lorsque l'information ne peut pas être transférée au serveur d'application local, le pilote de demande peut définir un mandataire au niveau d'un serveur d'application à distance qui envoie une demande de client au serveur d'application à distance et une réponse émanant du serveur d'application à distance au client. Le client communique avec le serveur d'application à distance via le mandataire sur le serveur d'application local et le serveur d'application à distance est invisible du point de vue de ce client. Au cours d'un processus d'entrée en communication, le client établit son identité qui peut être utilisée pour de multiples applications et demandes d'information. Le serveur local génère un passe pour le client qui peut être utilisé pour autoriser l'accès à tous les serveurs d'application et/ou aux services nécessaires au client.

Abstract: Pour faciliter l'accès aux informations relatives à plusieurs entités à travers un réseau informatique, un système de serveur de réseau attribue un identificateur unique à codage alphanumérique à chaque entité à partir de laquelle des informations peuvent être récupérées. Le procédé de l'invention comprend, d'une part, la liaison par les données de chaque identificateur unique à codage alphanumérique avec au moins un emplacement dans le réseau dans lequel sont stockées les informations relatives à l'unité correspondante dans le système de serveur de réseau et, autre part, la réponse du système de serveur de réseau à une interrogation provenant d'un client qui comprend cet identificateur unique à codage alphanumérique, et ce pour fournir au client les données de liaison pour lui permettre de s'adresser aux informations relatives à chaque unité correspondante audit identificateur unique à codage alphanumérique. On assure une localisation fiable des informations relatives à une unité (p.ex., un produit, un service, etc.) en faisant en sorte que le système attribue les identificateurs alphanumériques uniques et administre à la fois le routage des informations en réponse aux interrogations d'un client. En outre, l'utilisation d'un identificateur alphanumérique permet de raccourcir l'identificateur, ce qui permet à son tour de faciliter l'entrée de l'utilisateur et la mémorisation d'un identificateur particulier. Le même identificateur alphanumérique unique peut être utilisé comme une adresse de courrier électronique pour faciliter l'envoi de messages électroniques à une au moins des adresses associées à une entité.

Title: System and method for voice transmission over network protocols
Inventor: SCHERPBIER ANDREW W
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2000-11-02
Abstract: A system and method for voice transmission over high level network protocols. On the Internet and the World Wide Web, such high level protocols are HTTP/TCP. The restrictions imposed by firewalls and proxy servers are avoided by using HTTP level connections to transmit voice data. In addition, packet delivery guarantees are obtained by using TCP instead of UDP. Variable compression based on silence detection takes advantage of the natural silences and pauses inhuman speech, thus reducing the delays in transmission caused by using HTTP/TCP. The silence detection includes the ability to bookend the voice data sent with small portions of silence to insure that the voice sounds natural. Finally, the voice data is transmitted to each client computer independently from a common circular list of voice data, thus insuring that all clients will stay current with the most recent voice data. The combination of these features enables simple, seamless, and interactive Internet conferencing.

the resistor. A characteristic impedance of combination of the
element and the first and second bonding wires is equal to or greater
than that of input side of the electric signal with respect to the
combination. An inductance of the second wire is greater than that
of the first wire. Preferably, at least one of the lengths of the
first and second bonding wires is decreased, which enhances the
advantage of the high-frequency circuit.

Abstract: A developing device includes a supply member (3)
disposed to rotate in contact with a developer carrier (4) to
supply a developer layer having a predetermined thickness
to the developer carrier surface. A layer forming member (2)
is disposed to abut against the developer carrier to
regulate the layer thickness of the developer so as to
form a thin developer layer on the developer carrier. A
bias application unit (5,6) applies an AC-superimposed bias
voltage to the developer carrier. The AC-superimposed bias
voltage is formed by superimposing an alternating current
on a DC bias voltage. A latent image on a latent image
carrier is developed with the thin developer layer formed
on the developer carrier by the layer forming member. The
bias application unit sets a maximum value of the AC-superimposed
bias voltage lower than the charge potential
of the latent image carrier, and sets the DC bias voltage
lower than the middle between the charge and exposure
potentials of the latent image carrier. The minimum value
of the AC-superimposed bias voltage may be set lower than
the exposure potential of the latent image carrier. The
maximum and minimum values of the AC-superimposed bias
voltage may be set so as to be identical in polarity with
each other.

Abstract: An acoustic rotor monitor that is an autonomous self-powered measurement
instrument which can detect embedded and hidden fatigue cracks in remotely

The rotor monitor focuses on the embedding an acoustic emission-based smart sensor
directly into the rotor system to measure the high frequency stress waves indicating that
a structural crack has propagated as a "self-powered" measurement without reducing
structural integrity.
