Abstract: The invention relates to a method for implementing a unit changeover in a telecommunication node forwarding packet data. In accordance with the invention, the traffic aimed at the channels of the unit to be changed is buffered, and the transmission buffers of the unit to be changed are emptied by transmitting data contained in them to its destination. Following this, the replacement unit is switched to the channels of the unit to be changed, and the information of the node is updated to correspond to the new configuration, and the reception of the incoming traffic from the line is begun. Finally, the outgoing traffic is activated by releasing the buffered traffic through the replacement unit.

Abstract: The burner utilises a hot surface ignition with an ignitor that is fully sintered and has essentially no porosity. A circuit applies an AC line voltage to the ignitor and to a blower motor. An AC-to-DC converter provides twelve volts DC for operation of a control circuit that has a first time constant circuit for preheating the ignitor and maintaining the ignitor at an ignition temperature for a predetermined ignition trial period of time. A second time constant circuit starts the blower motor and provides fuel to the combustion chamber for a predetermined time concurrent with the ignition trial period. A third time constant circuit either maintains the fan blower in its energised state if a flame of sufficient magnitude and frequency is detected and for de-energising the blower motor if the flame is not detected in less than one second after the ignitor is de-energised.

Abstract: A delivery system (10) for delivery and deployment of devices (23) having abrading portions (24) within a patient's lumen. A lumen in a flexible catheter (13) that extends proximally from a distal end (15) of the catheter receives the device in a compact form. At least one impervious segment (20) positioned in the lumen overlies the abrading portions of the device to shield and buffer the catheter from the abrading portions. The segment is of a relatively short length so that the catheter remains relatively flexible therealong to ease the transit of the catheter through the patient's lumen to a delivery site. Additional segments (50, 51, 52) may be disposed in the catheter distally of the segment or the segment may move with the device to the distal end to buffer the catheter during deployment of the device. Additional segments mate with the segment so that engaged segments are relatively radially deflectable.

Abstract: Ce capteur micromécanique de vitesse de rotation fonctionne sur la base du principe de Coriolis et contient deux oscillateurs plats superposés et alignés (1, 2) qui peuvent être mis électrostatiquement en vibration en contre-phase sur des structures plates de support (4a, 4b, 33c, 33d) séparées par une très petite fente (30) qui agit comme un condensateur d'entraînement. Par un choix approprié de la fréquence de résonance des structures de support et en ménageant un espace sensiblement plus grand entre les oscillateurs (1 et 2), on peut obtenir de plus grandes amplitudes d'oscillation, donc des oscillations de plus haute qualité qui ne sont pas limitées par la fente étroite (30) servant de condensateur d'entraînement qui serait autrement nécessaire pour obtenir une bonne excitation avec des tensions réduites d'excitation.
