Abstract: In a time-space-time switching network that provides connections at a hierarchy of data rates, a path-hunt arrangement effects establishment of a switched connection of a given bandwidth as a collection of a plurality of connections ofsmaller bandwidths of different sizes. Connections are first found at the highest rate of the hierarchy to satisfy as much of the given bandwidth as possible. Then, connections are found at the lower rates to satisfy any remaining unsatisfied bandwidth. The path-hunt uses a hierarchy of status tables, corresponding to thehierarchy of rates, for each time-switching element of the network. The tables have entries that define availability of time slots -- representing bandwidth of the tables' corresponding rates -- between that time-switching element and a space-switchingstage of the network. Connections are provided at the highest rate by finding matching idle time-slot entries in the high rate status tables for the two time-switching elements involved in the connection. Connections are provided at a lower rate by finding matching partially-full time-slot entries in the highest rate status tables for the two time-switching elements and then finding matching idle time-slot entries in the corresponding lower-rate status tables. To maximize path-hunt efficiency while maintaining non-blocking performance, the path-hunt follows a search hierarchy for lower-rate connections that first searches for matching partially-full time-slot entries in higher-rate status tables, and uses idle time-slot entries in higher-rate status tables only as a last resort.

Abstract: A transaction based interactive televi-ion system (20) includes an insertion system (22) for inserting in a preferred embodiment coded interactive information in the vertical blanking interval of a standard television sig-nal. The signal is received and decoded by a decoded system (24) which includes a settop decoder (30) which sends an infrared signal to a handheld device (28). The viewer using the handheld device (28) can interact with a game, sports, or educational or event or other presentation on television. The system includes proprietary high level command language and a proprietary set of PIU tables which are handheld in non-volatile memo-ry (74) of the handheld device (28). The PIU tables store the transaction of the various events presented on the television. The PIU tables allow the various events to be broken down into a number of transactions. Thus, for a sports event with interleaved commercials, a number of PIU tables would be used to store a collection of transactions used for the main event and additional PIU tables are used for storing transactions for each of the various interleaved commercials.

Abstract: The possibility of passing off apparent "good" higher level digital signals that may include corrupted or failed lower level digital signals because of inter-ring grooming of the lower level digital signals from a bidirectional line-switched ring to a path-switched ring and vice versa which employ first and second shared nodes is minimized by dual feeding communications circuits from the bidirectional line-switched ring to the path-switched ring and vice versa via the shared nodes. An inter-ring groomed communications circuit is provisioned from a secondary ring node in the line-switched ring of one of the shared nodes (secondary communications circuit) to be supplied to a primary ring node in the other of the shared nodes of the line-switched ring. A replica of the secondary communications circuit is demultiplexed to obtain the lower level digital signals, which are evaluated on a pair-wise basis with corresponding lower level digital signals from the primary ring node. The least corrupted of the evaluated lower level signals are selected to be combined into a new primary communications circuit which is to be inserted in the line-switched transmission path. An inter-ring groomed communications circuit is provisioned from a secondary ring node of one of the shared nodes in the path-switched ring to be supplied to a primary ring node in the other shared node of the path-switched ring. The secondary communications circuit is demultiplexed to obtain the lower level signals which are evaluated on a pair-wise basis with lower level signals from a corresponding primary communications circuit to determine which of the lower level signals are least corrupted. The selected least corrupted lower level signals are combined into a new primary communications circuit which is then dual fed in the path-switched ring primary ring node.

Abstract: A self limiting dispersion of a conductive material in a binder is disclosed wherein the conductive material consists essentially of a carbon material having a structure selected to undergo percolation when dispersed in the binder at a concentration of from about 10 weight percent to about 45 weight percent. The binder comprises a thermoplastic material selected to go through a first order phase transition or a second order transition at a temperature from about 200 °F to about 480 °F and the dispersion is formulated near the conductance percolation threshold so that its electrical conductivity drops precipitously ((e.g., at least about 1.5 to about 2 orders of magnitude) above the binder transition temperature. The dispersion of the conductive material in the binder is especially suitable for use as a self-limiting microwave heater material which is either a molding composition, surface coating composition, and especially a composition that can be applied to a substrate by printing.

Granted: 2004-04-27
Abstract: A blow molding method manufactures a sealed container and fills the container with a substance. The container body is connected to a head or top. A part of the head can be detached for opening of the container. A segment of an extruded tube is mounted in a blow mold having an axially movable mold base. The diameter of the extruded tube is slightly greater than the diameter of the head or top.      Following the closing of the tube end forming the bottom of the container, air is blown into the tube and simultaneously the mold base is moved toward the top jaws of the blow mold forming the head. After filling of the container and possibly mounting of an insert body into the top segment of the tube forming the container head or top, the mold base is moved still further in the direction of the top jaws, until the container is free of air. Then, the head is formed and is sealed securely with the outer surface of the insert body.

Granted: 2002-09-03
Abstract: A staged feeding process for preparing a composition by mixing at least a first polymer and a second, dissimilar polymer forms a final composition comprising  a uniform, small-particle of the first polymer in a matrix of the second polymer. Preferably, the first polymer has a melt viscosity greater than the second polymer. The process comprises the steps of feeding the first polymer in a first feed stage and feeding all of the second polymer as a melt in at least two feed stages to mix the first and second polymers. Alternatively the process may comprise feeding the first polymer in a first feed stage and feeding all of the second polymer in at least two feed stages subsequent to the first feed stage. In either case, this mixing initiates a chemical reaction between the first and second polymers.
