Abstract: A method of applying a powder coating to a non-metallic substrate such as a length of a lignocellulosic material, e.g a length of wood, is disclosed. The substrate is impregnated or has applied to the surface thereof, a composition containing a pre-accelerated, unsaturated polyester resin containing a latent catalyst therefor, either dissolved in a suitable non-aqueous solvent or mixed or dispersed in water. Thereafter the non-aqueous solvent or water is removed, and the substrate is placed in an electrostatic field or in a fluidised bed and a powder coating composition is applied thereto. The substrate is then subjected to an elevated temperature to polymerise and/or cross-link the polyester resin in or on the substrate and to cure the powder coating composition to form the powder coating. The result is a product with a decorative powder coating which may be used for many purposes.

Title: Method and communication system for managing a communication network
Inventor: HIRSCH LUCIAN
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2000-11-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a communication system for managing a communication network. The aim of the invention is to provide a method with which communication networks can be automatically tested from a superordinate producer-independently managing network management center (NMC), for example at times when subordinate, producer-specific operation and maintenance centers (OMC) are not occupied. To this end, at least one producer-dependent information is transmitted when an alarm report is sent and producer-specific hardware tests are automatically generated in the network management center. The information model of the OMC-NMC interface does not have to be familiar with the producer-specific object classes. The tests automatically generated in the network management center NMC can be triggered specifically, that is when errors of a certain hardware board have occurred, or preventively, for example for the entire hardware of a network unit.

Inventor: TREVINO GEORGE
IPC: G06F17/14
Filed: 2000-05-24
Abstract: A method and apparatus for spectral analysis of a sampled signal are provided.  According to the method, a first time interval .DELTA.T is determined which represents asample set over which the signal can be averaged for purpose of decomposing thesignal into instantaneous mean and random components. From random componentof the signal, the optimal time-dependent time interval AW  over which the randomcomponent should be averaged to obtain the instantaneous frequency spectrum (IFS)is then calculated based upon the instantaneous signal memory. Signal memoryspecifies the extent in time beyond which the signal "forgets" its past behavior andthus is a measure of its degree-of-randomness.  Defining AW in this way reduces thelikelihood that short-lived events are lost (or masked) due to uncharacteristically short(or long) averaging intervals.  Importantly, both time intervals .DELTA.T and AW are dynamicand vary randomly with time. Because these intervals can be computed in real time, the instantaneous frequency spectrum over interval AW can also be computed in realtime.

Title: A new design for releaving belt compression from being applied to the lower abdominal area
Inventor: DALLAIRE GUY
IPC: A45F3/04
Filed: 2002-09-30
Abstract: In a waist belt supporting a load, (i.e. backpack, tree planting bags, pants, etc) it is known that the pressure exerted by the belt is applied all around the waist of the wearer including the lower abdominal area. In this invention, the front of the belt is bridged away from the lower abdominal area of the wearer by a rigid or semi-rigid bridging device and fastened over this bridge; or simply by a buckle shaped in such manner as to be this bridging device. In this way, the weight holding belt may be fastened tight around the waist of the wearer omitting any pressure on the lower abdominal area of the wearer. This invention provides better comfort and better health for the user of such device while wearing a belt by re-routing the pressure of the belt away and around the lower abdominal area of the user, therefore allowing better blood circulation to and from body parts bellow the waist in effect of a diminution of constricting pressure to the main blood vessels passing through lower abdominal area of user, furthermore, the use of such device does not inhibit the functions of inner organs otherwise constricted by the use of a belt with said device. The device may have padding to its extremities in order to sit comfortably against the pelvic bone protruding extremities. The device may come in different sizes and/or have a number of slits at its ends where the belt passes through or is attached in order to adapt to various body sizes; the belt itself may be partly rigid and left open in the front.

Title: Combplate load and obstruction sensor apparatus
Inventor: LAUCH RICHARD
IPC: B66B27/00
Filed: 2002-12-23
Abstract: An escalator combplate load and obstruction sensor is capable of monitoring and indicating both horizontal and vertical force and loads. The combplate is mounted for limited horizontal and vertical travel in response to corresponding horizontal and vertical loads. Both the horizontal and vertical travel are resolved into a displacement at an angle to both the horizontal and vertical, and the displacement is applied to a sensing portion of a loadcell which generates an electrical output proportional to the applied displacement and force. An indicator is coupled to the loadcell to indicate a relationship between the displacement applied to the loadcell and at least one reference value, whereby the horizontal and vertical loads applied to the combplate can be monitored and improper load levels determined. By proper choice of the displacement angle differing vertical and horizontal forces can be resolved into the same displacement, allowing a single indicator to simultaneously display both vertical and horizontal loading status.
