Abstract: A terrain awareness system and method which provides increased warning times to the pilot of an aircraft of a hazardous flight condition while minimizing nuisance warnings. An important aspect of the invention is that the terrain background information as well as the terrain advisory and warning indications may be displayed on a navigational or weather display, normally existing within an aircraft, which reduces the cost of the system and obviates the need for extensive modifications to existing displays, such as a navigational and weather radar type display.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for in-situ monitoring of thickness using a multi-wavelength spectrometer during chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of a substrate using a polishing tool and a film thickness monitor. The tool has an opening placed in it. The opening contains a monitoring window secured in it to create a monitoring channel. A film thickness monitor views the substrate through the monitoring channel to provide an indication of the thickness of a film carried by the substrate. This information can be used to determine the end point of the CMP process, determine removal rate at any given circumference of a substrate, determine average removal rate across a substrate surface, determine removal rate variation across a substrate surface, and optimize removal rate and uniformity. The film thickness monitor comprises a spectrometer. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system and method use magnetic field sensing to detect underground objects for strike avoidance. The system detects magnetic field components for both passive distortions in the magnetic field indicative of a ferromagnetic object and active magnetic fields that are impressed on an object by a signal generator. A detection module has a magnetic sensor assembly that detects the magnetic field components. The magnetic field component data is transferred through a multiplexer to an analog/digital converter to a processor. Pitch angle data from a pitch sensor and roll angle data from a roll sensor also may be transferred to the processor. The data is processed by the processor to determine the orientation of the detection module with respect to the object. The detection module may be installed in an underground boring tool or a trenching assembly. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electric bicycle comprises a frame having a rider seat and propulsion controls positioned and thereon, a settable front wheel having an axle affixed to a front portion of said frame, and a hub spoke rear wheel having an axle with a woven spoke pattern affixed to a rear portion of said frame. A unitary power module, which may be a "kit" for use with a standard bicycle, is used as a propulsion system which includes a battery affixed to said bicycle, and an electric motor having a pinion sprocket affixed thereon. The electric motor is suitable to be connected to the battery by a battery cable. The unitary power module includes a target sprocket and a mounting frame, with the target sprocket comprising a disk shaped assembly having an center opening to allow the unitary member to be placed about the wheel axle. The target sprocket mates to the wheel pattern of either of the wheels to enable target sprocket to be concentrically attached to the wheel by engagement with the wheel by securing elements. The mounting frame is aligned with and rotatably attached to the target sprocket to allow for aligned rotation of the target sprocket about said wheel axle. The mounting frame is attached to the unitary member by a bearing or the like and has an opening to receive the electric motor to enable a pinion sprocket to engage the target sprocket to rotate the rear wheel upon application by the rider of the propulsion controls. A free wheel clutch is provided on the unitary power module or target sprocket to allow the wheel to rotate faster than the motor without motor drag. In this manner, a self-aligned unitary power module is provided by the mounting frame maintaining a single point of reference for aligning the pinion sprocket with the target sprocket.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système permettant de transporter en mode paquets la phonie et autres trafics ne tolérant pas facilement les retards, par exemple une liaison téléphonique via l'Internet, en utilisant une connexion à commutation de paquets lorsqu'une telle connexion est disponible. Ainsi, les paquets entrants provenant d'un réseau de données (52) en mode paquets qu'un noeud passerelle (60) identifie comme étant de type phonie, sont déviés du réseau de paquets (50) de façon à transiter par une passerelle (61) débouchant sur un réseau à commutation de circuits (28, 24, 23) desservant un terminal (21). Ce procédé permet de décharger partiellement le réseau de paquets (50) qui est moins adapté aux communications de type phonie que le réseau à commutation de circuits. En sens inverse, lorsqu'ils le permettent, certains paquets produits par le terminal (21) peuvent être acheminés vers le noeud passerelle (60) au moyen du réseau à commutation de circuits (28, 24, 23), directement sous la commande du terminal (21), sous la commande de l'interface réseau (23) du terminal, sous la commande du noeud passerelle (60), ou encore en toute autonomie.
