Abstract: A composite reinforced electrical transmission
conductor cable primarily designed for transmission of
electrical signals, such as data signals, telephone signals
of any frequency and electrical power of essentially any
voltage. A fiber optic cable may also be carried by the
core in a preferred embodiment. A splicing arrangement for
securing the ends of the cable together is also provided.
The cable is comprised of a reinforced plastic composite
component which serves as a load bearing component and an
electrically conductive component which serves for
transmission of the electrical signals carried by the
cable. In a preferred embodiment, the cable is comprised
of a reinforced plastic composite outer load carrying
sheath along with an inner highly electrically conductive
core. In this way, the sheath provides the necessary
strength and the inner core provides for transmission of
the electrical signals. In still further embodiments,
strips of reinforcd plastic composite can be embedded in an
electrically coductive cylindrically shaped cable material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a carbon black modified by a two step process in
which carbon black is initially treated with functional monomers by an
electropolymerization process to form a functionalized carbon black having an
initial polymer attached to, of grafted to, the carbon black following which
   (A) at least one diene monomer, or   (B) living anionic catalysis prepared polymer, is introduced to the
functionalized carbon black to continue the polymerization, starting from a living
end of the initially formed polymer, and thereby form an extended diene-based
polymer. By the addition of the diene monomer or the live anionic polymer to
form the associated extended diene-based polymer, it is contemplated that the
modified carbon black is rendered more compatible with diene-based
elastomers. Such modified carbon black may be used, for example, as
reinforcement for component(s) of various articles of manufacture, including
tires. Accordingly, an article of manufacture is provided, such as for example a
tire, having at least one component of a rubber composition which contains
such modified carbon black.

Abstract: Notification of lapse information of a public key
certificate from a PKI directory server to a PKI directory
client can be efficiently performed. Certificate authority
information in a certificate authority structure is made to
correspond to a container entry, end entity information is
made to correspond to a leaf entry, and the certificate
authority structure is assigned to a directory tree. A latest
public key certificate itself or its obtaining method and a
serial number are provided as attributes of each entry. If a
certain certificate is lapsed and a certificate is newly
issued, the newly issued certificate and its serial number are
stored into the entry. After the elapse of a predetermined
time, the certificate is put into a certain URL and the
certificate stored in the entry is replaced with URL
information. On the reception side, a filtering mask is set on
the basis of a certificate pass for obtaining the necessary
certificate. A directory structure transmitted from the
transmission side is selectively received by the filtering mask
and the directory on the reception side is changed. A
directory tree in which the URL information and the serial
number have been stored is repetitively transmitted from the
transmission side. On the reception side, only the entries
selected by the filtering mask are updated. The reference to
the latest public key certificate is distributed.
