Title: Protected keepalive message through the internet
Inventor: MAMROS SHAWN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1999-10-28
Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the reachability of a remote computer from a local computer through a secured communications link through the Internet. In one embodiment, the secured ISAKMP/Oakley communications link is established between a remote computer and a local computer through the Internet. A protected keepalive message is transmitted by the local computer to the remote computer in the event that the communications link has been idle for a period of time. The protected keepalive message is not a re-key request by the local computer to renegotiate the policy/key(s) of the secured communications link to the Internet. In one embodiment, the protected keepalive message is a protected ISAKMP/Oakley command to which a protected acknowledgement must be supplied. If a protected acknowledgement is received from the remote box by the local box in response to the protected keepalive message, then it is assumed that the remote box is still reachable. However, if the protected acknowledgement is not received from the remote box in response to the protected keepalive message, then it is assumed that their remote box is no longer reachable. In this case, the secured communications link between the remote box and the local box is terminated by the local box.

Abstract: On rend séparable les fractions légères issues de shredders d'automobiles via des étapes opératoires de préparation telles qu'une extraction des métaux ferreux et un broyage, pour obtenir une bande granulométrique homogène, et on les soumet ensuite à un triage à des fins de séparation des fractions légères organiques. Les matières lourdes qui subsistent en forme de produits de granulation sont subdivisées en plusieurs fragments granulométriques dans un tamisage multiple afin d'augmenter davantage la sélectivité. Les fractions granulométriques individuelles sont soumises de manière respectivement séparées à une extraction ultérieure des métaux ferreux à des fins d'extraction des fractions de métaux ferreux encore libérées lors du broyage et sont ensuite libérées de la même manière des métaux non ferreux dans des dispositifs d'extraction de métaux non ferreux. Les fractions lourdes exemptes de métaux qui subsistent sous forme de produits de granulation sont séparées dans une séparation sur base de la densité en matières minérales telles que le verre, la céramique, les pierres et en groupes de matières organiques. Les fractions légères et lourdes organiques séparées forment un combustible possédant un pouvoir calorifique élevé et à l'état dépollué pour l'exploitation thermique, par exemple dans la pyrolyse, dans la thermolyse ou dans d'autres procédés de dégazage/gazéification.

Title: Optical waveguide amplifier
Inventor: LAWRENCE BRIAN L
IPC: G02B6/28
Filed: 1998-01-20
Abstract: A side-polished fiber/overlay waveguide architecture and process for noninvasively implementing an optical amplifier are provided for an optical communications system. A "channel" overlay waveguide is employed to constrain for amplification optical energy evanescently coupled to the overlay waveguide from the side-polished optical fiber. The overlay waveguide exhibits a nonlinear response of second order, and non-linear frequency conversion is employed to down-convert a high-power, short-wavelength pump signal into the waveguide to amplify the optical energy coupled thereto. The channel overlay waveguide is dimensioned to allow for phase matching between highest order modes of the optical signal within the side-polished fiber optic and the pump signal provided to the channel overlay waveguide. A low-index matching layer is disposed between the channel overlay waveguide and the side-polished fiber optic to facilitate phase matching of the propagation modes. Amplification of optical energy in the channel overlay waveguide is established within a single beat length of evanescent removal to evanescent return of the optical energy to the side-polished fiber optic.
