Abstract: In a reconfigurable communications system, circuit status bits are stored in a first matrix of rows associated respectively with predefined network configurations and columns associated respectively with predefined circuit configurations. Destination status codes are stored in a second matrix of rows associated respectively with the circuit configurations and columns associated respectively with switching nodes of the system. Each circuit configuration comprises one or more transmission links and each circuit status bit stored in each column of the first matrix pattern indicates the presence or absence of the circuit configuration associated with that column. Each destination status code indicates the presence or absence of transmission links from each switching node to possible destination nodes. In response to a manual command, the circuit status bits stored in one of the rows of the first matrix are respectively multiplied with the destination status codes stored in each column of the second matrix, and the multiplied binary values are summed so that network configuration data is derived with respect to a desired network configuration, which is then transmitted to the switching nodes to reconfigure the system. A difference is detected between the network configuration data successively derived with respect to previous and most recent network configurations, and transmitted as network configuration signals to those switching nodes requiring reconfiguration.

Abstract: Un document (10) est recouvert d'un stratifié (13) comprenant une couche de microsphères (16) sur une couche adhésive (14) recouvrant elle-même une image source (12), telle qu'une photographie, un texte imprimé, ou un code à barres placés sur un substrat (11). La lumière incidente sur le document (10) est divisée par les propriétés optiques des microsphères (16) et des réflecteurs spéculaires sous-jacents. Le reste de la lumière traverse les microsphères (16), en passant à travers la couche adhésive (14) et vient frapper le substrat (11) ou l'image source (12) sur le document (10), pour être ensuite réfléchie (18) et diffusée (20). Par ailleurs, le stratifié (13) peut comprendre une couche simple ou transparente de polyester sans microsphères sur la couche adhésive (14). La lumière incidente sur le stratifié (13) traverse le polyester et le stratifié (14) pour venir frapper le substrat (11) ou l'image source (12) où elle est réfléchie et diffusée. Une première source lumineuse (24) dirige la lumière sur le document (10). Une deuxième source lumineuse (26, 27) dirige la lumière vers un miroir de décomposition de faisceaux (23) qui réfléchit la lumière vers le document (10). Les propriétés de déviation de la lumière du miroir (23) produisent une source lumineuse qui apparaît à un récepteur d'image (40) comme ayant été renvoyée depuis la surface du document (10) avec un angle inférieur à 1~. Le récepteur d'image (40) transmet un signal via une ligne (32) à un ordinateur personnel (41) qui traite l'information reçue. Un tel traitement permet de déterminer si le document (10) comprend un stratifié rétroréflecteur, un stratifié de polyester simple ou aucun des deux. En outre, un traitement ultérieur permet d'établir si le document (10) a été falsifié, contrefait ou modifié.

Abstract: The Ram-Air Caboose is an attachment with adjustable weight distribution and air flow control fitted to the rear of a mini-van type vehicle and consists of a compartment that provides control of various air flows, weight distribution and counter balance. It has a vertical section secured with adjustable adaptors to a conventional class III trailer hitch, and an adjustable dihedral wing stabilizer extending horizontally forward and connecting to conventional van roof rack inserts with adaptors. Adjusting the dihedral wing stabilizer up will increase down air flow velocity pressure between the compartment and the vehicle, producing a degree of lift at the rear of the vehicle during forward motion. Conversely, lowering the stabilizer and raising the rear of the compartment creates down pressure. These adjustments improve vehicle stabilization and control at highway speeds. The Ram-Air Caboose's counter-balanced support system reduces vehicle rear sag and improves level by shifting load points as far forward on the vehicle chassis as practical. The dihedral wing stabilizer is also utilized as a torque extension to down load counter-balance pressure through adaptor connections. The interior of the dihedral wing stabilizer is open storage space. The vertical section contains the main open space, and windows that give safe rear vision through compartment front and rear walls. The Ram-Air Caboose can be used for work or recreation, and can be easily installed and removed.
