Patent EP-1345367-A1 (EP)
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1998-04-20
Abstract: A new concept of soft quality-of-service (soft-QoS) is developed
that bridges the gap between the efficient provision of network-level QoS
and the requirements of multimedia applications. Soft-QoS is defined by a
satisfaction index (a number that rates users' perceptual quality) and a
softness profile (a function that captures the robustness of multimedia
applications to network congestion). Another aspect of this invention is a
bandwidth allocation scheme for multimedia applications with soft-QoS
requirements is presented. The implementation of the bandwidth
allocation scheme on a network element realizes a soft-QoS controller.
The controller uses the connections' softness profiles to compute a
bandwidth allocation that maximizes the minimum satisfaction index of
active connections.

Abstract: The method involves inspecting a fillet of an outboard end section and a fillet of an inboard end section with a non-destructive testing unit to determine the maximum depth cracks in the fillets. The materials are removed beyond fillets or beyond maximum depth of crack depending upon the depth of cracks in both the inboard fillet and outboard fillet. A 0.06 inches of material is removed beyond the fillet if the depth of cracks in the outboard fillet is less than or equal to 0.03 inches. A 0.03 inches of material is removed beyond the fillet if the depth of cracks in the inboard fillet is less than or equal to 0.03 inches. A 0.03 inches of material beyond maximum depth of crack is removed if crack in the outboard fillet is greater than 0.03 inches and less than 0.07 inches. A 0.03 inches of material beyond maximum depth of crack is removed if crack in the inboard fillet is greater than 0.03 inches and less than 0.06 inches.

Abstract: The invention relates to an operating head (1) for machine tools, in which
the part wherein the spindle (12) is disposed may tilt, revolve or move in some
other way, in order to vary the orientation of the spindle depending on the tooling
to be carried out. 
     The motor (13) for driving the spindle is disposed adjacent thereto and is
connected by a mechanical transmission: as the spindle and the motor are on the
same moving portion of the operating head, the latter combines the advantages of
operating heads with electro-spindles and of heads with spindles separate from the
motor, overcoming at the same time their drawbacks.
