Abstract: A data token with extended operational lifetime incorporates
operational circuitry requiring D.C. power, a battery for supplying D.C.
power to the circuitry, a power switch coupled between the battery and
the circuitry, and a frequency selector for sensing remotely generated
signals and for operating the switch when such signals are received so
that D.C. power is applied to operate the circuitry only when the
remotely generated signals are sensed in order to confine energy drain
from the battery to only those periods when circuit operation is needed
and extend the useful lifetime and range of the data token. The
frequency selector is a crystal having a specific resonant frequency
which only responds to remotely generated signals of the matching
frequency. The switch is an FET switch. An integrator circuit is coupled
between the frequency selector and the FET switch to smooth the D.C.
voltage developed by the crystal.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système de mesure de variation de retard unidirectionnelle dans un réseau, permettant de transmettre des paquets d'essai avec un indicateur de temps de transmission et un numéro de séquence. Le réseau reçoit un premier paquet d'essai et un second paquet d'essai et note leurs heures d'arrivée. Si les paquets d'essai sont séquentiels, la variation du retard unidirectionnelle est calculée entre les deux paquets d'essai. La variation du retard est égale à la différence entre le temps d'arrivée des deux paquets d'essai à laquelle on soustrait la différence entre le temps de transmission du premier et du deuxième paquet d'essai.

Title: Compound order handling in an anonymous trading system
Inventor: NEYMAN VLADIMIR
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2001-06-22
Abstract: Joint execution type compound orders can be processed in an anonymous trading system trading system comprising a plurality of broker nodes each of which includes an order matching functionality and a market distribution functionality. Trader agent nodes are connected to a number of dealer terminals grouped in trading floors and also to a broker node. Joint execution orders are entered as hit orders and are all matched by the broker during the hit or the order is cancelled. If matches are made the taker's trading agent does not complete any of the deals marking up the order until it knows that all the deals are executable. The system may be used to allow traders to hit bids and offers in currency pairs synthesised from other currency pairs. In this arrangement the dealer enters a simple order in the synthetic currency and the taker's trading agent converts it into a joint execution order.

Abstract: An apparatus is equipped to receive network traffic data for network traffic routed through a number of routing devices with one or more degrees of separation from a network node. The network traffic data include at least network traffic data for network traffic destined for the network node which meet a traffic type selection criteria and are routed by the routing devices to the network node. The apparatus is further equipped to progressively regulate and de-regulate network traffic routing by the routing devices based at least in part on the received network traffic data and the degrees of separation of the routing devices from the network node. Regulation extends from routing devices with the lowest degree of separation from the network node to routing devices with the highest degree of separation, following in the reverse direction of the routing paths traversed by the packets to reach the network node. In one embodiment, the extension or push back is made one degree of separation at a time. In one embodiment, deregulation follows the reverse path, whereas in another embodiment, deregulation is determined and implemented locally, whenever regulation or the extent of regulation is no longer needed. In one embodiment, regulation is made in accordance with a not-to-exceed profile, and the not-to-exceed limit or limits are divided up as regulation extends away from the network node.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un nouveau procédé de fabrication de fibres et sur l'appareil correspondant. Selon l'invention, des filaments extrudés de matériau de fabrication de fibres sont orientés à travers une chambre de traitement qui est entourée de deux parois parallèles dont l'une peut instantanément se rapprocher ou s'éloigner de l'autre paroi ; de préférence, les deux parois en question peuvent instantanément se rapprocher ou s'éloigner l'une de l'autre. Des dispositifs de déplacement sont reliés à au moins une paroi mobile afin d'entraîner un déplacement instantané. Selon un mode de réalisation, les dispositifs de déplacement comprennent des éléments de sollicitation afin de solliciter, avec souplesse, la paroi vers l'autre paroi. Le déplacement de la paroi vers/loin de l'autre paroi est suffisamment facile et rapide pour permettre à la paroi de s'éloigner de l'autre paroi en réponse à une augmentation de la pression à l'intérieur de la chambre, et de rapidement retrouver sa position initiale au moyen des éléments de sollicitation lorsque la pression retombe à son niveau initial à l'intérieur de la chambre. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, les dispositifs de déplacement comportent des éléments d'oscillation afin de faire bouger la paroi à un rythme rapide. Cette invention porte également sur des nouvelles toiles non-tissées qui comprennent un ensemble de fibres contenant des fibres interrompues de manière aléatoire par des segments de fibres isolés, lesquels comportent des chaînes de polymères orientés mais diffèrent de la principale partie de la fibre d'un point de vue morphologique.

Abstract: A half ball valve (1) includes a body (10) including cavity having an assembly opening,
a stem opening (18) formed at a side of the body opposite to the assembly opening to
connect the cavity and the outside, and a first connection hole (12) inclined with respect
to an axis of the stem opening (18). A ball (30) is accommodated in the cavity of the body (10)
through the assembly opening to be capable of rotating to switch between an open
position at which the first connection hole (12) is open and a close position at which the
first connection hole (12) is blocked. A passage (32) is formed in the ball inclined with
respect to an axis of the stem opening (18) and is connected to the first connection hole (12)
at the open position. A stem (40) connects a control lever (60) outside the body and the ball
along the stem opening. A body cap (20) having a second connection hole (22) connected to
the passage (32) of the ball (30) is coupled to the body (10) to cover the cavity at the assembly
opening side. A packing (50) is interposed between an outer surface of the ball (30) and an
inner wall of the body (10). Thus, the size of the ball (30) can be reduced and, when the
passage in the pipeline is blocked, the fluid flowing in the pipeline is not confined in
the passage of the ball. Also, not only is dead space not formed but also the gap
between the ball and the body is completely sealed by the space filler (50), so that the
fluid flowing through the pipeline is prevented from remaining in the gap and being
deposited therein. Furthermore, the full bore concept can be realized in which no
difference exists between the amount of the fluid that is coming in through the inlet
and the amount of the fluid that is discharged through the outlet in the ball valve
installed on the pipeline.
