Abstract: In a packet communication network comprising a plurality of nodes connected by respective links according to a routing topology, ordered metrics are respectively associated with links each connecting two nodes together directly. On detection of a modification of the routing topology, at the level of a first node connected by a link to at least one second node, a timer value associated with the second node is determined. Next, the timer is set. Finally, on expiring of this timer, a topology update message is emitted destined for the second node. The timer value is provided by an increasing function taking as parameter the metric associated with said link connecting the first node to the second node, so that the larger the metric, the larger the timer value.

Title: Measuring method for the registration of variations in a sample of a material
IPC: G01N3/32
Filed: 1979-06-21
Granted: 1982-01-13
Abstract: A method for measuring crack propagation in samples as a function of the number of load cycles is proposed wherein changes in the frequency response of a mechanical impedance of a sample which is to be tested is registered. At a pulsation frequency, which corresponds to the resonant frequency of the sample, there is a rise in the resonance of the mechanical impedance, defined as the quotient of the speed of movement of the sample and the applied pulsating force. Since, when a crack grows in the sample, its elastic constant decreases along with the cross-sectional area, the frequency response of the sample shifts towards lower frequences. To carry out the process of the invention it is suggested that the phase of the above mentioned impedance or an impedance which is dependent on it should be detected, or else to register the impedance magnitude whilst keeping the force acting on the sample or the speed of movement constant, or else to register the force or speed of movement as a function of the number of load cycles and standardized with respect to the appropriate values of momentary load or speed of movement.

Title: Dispositif d'entrainement hydraulique d'un ventilateur de refroidissement
IPC: F15B21/045
Filed: 1979-12-17
Granted: 1983-07-27
Abstract: Le dispositif accessoire d'entrainement comprend un moteur hydraulique de ventilateur mis en serie avec un mecanisme de direction assiste hydrauliquement. La pompe hydraulique du mecanisme de direction constitue l'unique source de pression hydraulique dont la pression X est sensiblement plus grande que la pression Z necessaire au mecanisme de direction. Une vanne de by pass sensible a la temperature est placee en parallele avec le moteur du ventilateur de sorte que les deux flux de fluide se recombinent pour alimenter un organe de commande du mecanisme de direction qui fournit a celui-ci une pression Z, le fluide supplementaire etant devie vers l'entree de la pompe hydraulique. Cette disposition a pour effet que la relation entre la vitesse du ventilateur et la vitesse du moteur du vehicule est analogue a une "courbe visqueuse". En outre, le dispositif autorise le fonctionnement simultane du moteur de ventilateur et de la direction assistee sans que les exigences en debit de fluide de l'un affecte le debit fourni a l'autre, les pressions de fluides etant complementaires, c'est-a-dire que la chute de pression dans le moteur de ventilateur est minimum quand la charge imposee par la direction assistee est au maximum.
