Inventor: ROCHELEAU MICHAEL
IPC: F26B13/20
Filed: 2001-09-28
Granted: 2009-11-17
Abstract: Air turn (10) for supporting and optionally drying a web (W), comprising an arcuate surface (10A) having a plurality of apertures (3)(32)(33)(34)(35) formed therein. Pressurized gas is supplied to the air turn plenum, and exits through a plurality of apertures (3)(32)(33)(34)(35) to form a cushion of air to float the web (W). Turn angles of about 90 degrees to about 300 degrees with no contact to the web (W) are achievable with the apparatus (10) of the present invention. The unique semi-circular design allows for non-contact flotation and turning of a tensioned web with low pressure requirements, reduced air spillage and reduced noise level. Multi-chamber turns (50A)(50B)(50C) can be used with each section having independently controlled pressurized gas.

Abstract: A router and routing protocol redundancy are disclosed to reduce service outage or degradation for a network device and thus to increase service avaibility on a network due to software and hardware failures of the network device. A network device such as router includes a redundancy platform having an active controller system and a standby controller system. A routing protocol state change is received or generated by the active controller system. The received or generated routing protocol state change is replicated to the standby controller system. By replicating the routing protocol state change, the standby controller system can maintain the routing protocol sessions for the network device if a failure occurs in the active controller system. Furthermore, the routing protocol states are maintained in realtime to handle the dynamic changes created by routing protocols.

Title: Process for forming polyalkenyl acylating agents
Inventor: BIRSE DAVID GORDON
IPC: C08F110/10
Filed: 2004-06-17
Granted: 2009-05-12
Abstract: A process for producing polyalkenyl acylating agent, wherein, upon completion of the thermal reaction of a polyalkene and an unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid or anhydride compound, the reaction mixture is allowed to cool to below the reaction temperature, an additional amount of unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid or anhydride compound is added to the cooled reaction mixture, which is then maintained in the reactor for a time period, optionally with agitation. Reducing the temperature of the reaction mixture prior to the introduction of additional unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid or anhydride compound minimizes further reaction between the additional unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid or anhydride compound and any remaining unreacted polyalkene, as well as self-polymerization of the unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid or anhydride compound. Polymerized unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid or anhydride compound in the reactor, suspended in the reaction mixture in the form of sediment or deposited on the internal walls of the reactor vessel as tar, is dissolved by the additional unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid or anhydride compound and removed from the reactor upon draining of the reactor vessel.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling power in a wireless communication system having multiple reverse-link channels. One embodiment comprises adjusting power levels of a first set of channels and a corresponding pilot channel while maintaining a set traffic-to-pilot (T/P) ratio between them, and adjusting T/P ratios for one or more remaining channels independently of the power level of the pilot channel. A base station determines whether frames received on the first set of channels contain errors and sends messages to a mobile station to increment or decrement the power levels, respectively, if the frames do or do not contain errors. T/P ratios of the additional channels are adjusted by determining whether frames received on the additional channels contain errors, incrementing or decrementing the T/P ratios appropriately, and transmitting the T/P ratios to the mobile station, which controls the transmission parameters for the respective channels in accordance with the received T/P ratios.
