Abstract: A diver's suit (10), survival suit, or a suit worn to protect a worker from hazardous
materials is provided with releasable water-tight seals (20) around the wrists, ankles and/or
neck. Each releasable water-tight seal includes first (48) and second (52) complementary shaped
annular interlocking seal members preferably extruded from a first polymeric material.
Gaskets (48d,52d) made of a second softer polymeric material may be co-extruded with the first
polymeric material and are compressed when the seal members (48,52) are mated in order to
enhance the impermeability of the resulting seal to liquids or gases.

Abstract: A decoder for iterative decoding of parallel concatenated Zigzag codes (PCZZ) includes circuitry for utilizing all extrinsic
information during iterative decoding by updating likelihood information for parity
bits  L Pi   ,  i =1,...,  M  during iterations. The extrinsic information for the parity bits is
included in iterations by re-calculating soft values for parity bits  L Pi   (k)    for each
iteration k. In one embodiment the parity bit soft values are re-calculated in a
plurality of circuit blocks following Max-Log-APP (MLA) decoder blocks, based on
soft values for data bits  L Di   (k)   . In another embodiment the parity bit soft values are
re-calculated recursively within the plurality of MLA decoders. The decoder
operates to control the convergence of the decoder by monitoring a soft value of
one parity check symbol, e.g.,  L (k-1)   [ p ( IM )], where  p(IM)  represents the last parity
check bit in an  I  X  M  parity check array. A decoder iteration stopping rule may be
implemented by testing a likelihood measure associated with a last parity check
symbol in a parity check column. In one case the likelihood measure may be given
by  L (k-1)   [ p ( IM )] > threshold, and in another case the likelihood measure may be
given by  L (k-1)   [ p ( I )] > threshold. The likelihood measure is given in general by:
 L (k-1)   [ p ( I )] > threshold,  L (k-1)   [ p (2 I )] > threshold,...,  L (k-1)   [ p ( IM )] > threshold, where
the value of the threshold is a function of data block size.

Abstract: A computer-implemented knowledge management method enables a user to send a query on one or more specified topics to a selected group of persons. A form is displayed to each recipient, allowing them to respond that they are unable to help or to recommend themselves or one or more other persons as being an expert on one or more of the specified topics. A recipient may also forward the query to another group of people, who can themselves respond. The responses are used to update a searchable database of persons and their areas of expertise. 
The system thus automatically over time builds up a database defining a tacit knowledge network, based on users' recommendations.

Abstract: Methods of increasing lifetimes of components in a gas turbine engine are described. Ordinarily, components are replaced after they experience a certain number of thermal cycles, or a certain operating temperature limit is exceeded. Under one form of the invention, the components are not replaced at that time, but are subjected to increased cooling, which decreases the highest temperature reached in subsequent thermal cycles. Also, many components are replaced when acceleration of an engine falls below a target. In one form of the invention, the components are not replaced, but (1) scheduled fuel flow is increased and (2) compressor stall margin is also increased, in order to attain the target acceleration.

Abstract: Disclosed are exemplary techniques for compressing ATM cells by substituting reduced headers for the original headers. A header table may be maintained at the transmitting end whereby headers are stored in table entries based on a table index generated from a hash function applied to the headers. A copy of the header table may be maintained at the receiving end and may be updated by populating idle cells with header table contents. Upon receipt of a reduced ATM cell at the receiving end, the reduced header may be replaced with a full header obtained from the copy of the header table maintained at the receiving end. The present invention further provides techniques for registration and management of hash collisions.
