Title: Method and apparatus for data alteration by manipulation of representational graphs
Inventor: SCHOTT ERIC G
IPC: G06F3/033
Filed: 1996-06-05
Granted: 2001-08-14
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for altering data by manipulation of representational dynamic graphs. Specifically, a method and apparatus are provided for using dynamic graphs wherein the computer user is able to manipulate the graph shape directly, which in turn not only modifies the graph, but also alters the corresponding and underlying tabularized data, as well as any associated numeric representations of the data that may be presented to the computer user. The method and apparatus are provided for use with a computer system having a processing unit, system memory, a user manipulation device, and a video display, wherein a dynamic graph is created having at least one data representation element which may be focused or unfocused. Creation of the dynamic graph includes creating and saving graphical and statistical characteristics of the dynamic graph. Manipulation of a data representation element via the user manipulation device may include reconfiguring the dynamic graph to select a focused data representation element desired to be manipulated. Modification of the dynamic graph according to user manipulation includes altering not only the graphical display, but also the underlying graph data corresponding to the dynamic graph. The method and apparatus thereby provide a simple and easy way for users to alter their data and modify the interrelationship betweeen associated data by intuitive manipulation of representational dynamic graphs.

Title: Method for improving the administration of the telephone local loop plant
Inventor: BERNSTEIN LAWRENCE
IPC: H04M3/22
Filed: 1997-02-24
Granted: 2000-05-23
Abstract: In a method of administering a telephone local loop plant, a substantial portion-preferably at or above 80%-of the existing narrowband plant is caused to be "dedicated," so that constituent segments of an existing local loop therewithin are not allowed to be used to form other local loops when the existing loop is taken out of service. The remainder of the narrowband plant-the "non-dedicated" plant-is used to fill subscriber current orders for new service. Administration of the narrowband plant that has been dedicated is given over to an administrative system that is deployed to administer broadband facilities within the local loop plant. In preferred embodiment, the local loop plant is upgraded from narrowband to broadband in a way which gives priority to those geographical areas for which the costs of maintaining the narrowband plant are the greatest. The method, overall, provides a mechanism for reducing the costs associated with administering all of the narrowband plant using the legacysystems.

Title: Method in winding of a paper web
Inventor: MAKELA JARMO
IPC: B65H18/08
Filed: 1997-10-28
Granted: 2003-01-28
Abstract: A method for winding a paper web in which the paper web is wound by a winder or equivalent winding apparatus onto a roll and the running speed of the winder is controlled based on the frequency of rotation of the roll so that when the frequency of rotation of the roll approaches a range of oscillation, i.e., a range of frequency of rotation of the roll in which intensive oscillation occurs, the running speed is lowered quickly so that the frequency of rotation of the roll is reduced to a level lower than the lower frequency of the range of oscillation. Thereafter, the running speed of the winder is increased so that the frequency of rotation of the roll remains substantially constant until, e.g., the running speed of the winder prior to the reduction thereof as the frequency of rotation of the roll approached the range of oscillation is reached.

Title: Hybrid bi-directional wavelength division multiplexing device
Inventor: LI JINGHUI
IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 1997-11-05
Granted: 2001-05-22
Abstract: An optical device simultaneously provides a multiplexing and demultiplexing function and combines dichroic WDM filter technology with Bragg grating filter technology.  A plurality of adjacent sequential ports of a multi-port optical circulator serve as a vehicle for launching and receiving a multi-wavelength optical signal to be separated by the Bragg and dichroic filters. Other adjacent sequential ports having similar filters tuned to different wavelengths provide paths for combining the other wavelengths of light into a single signal. Conveniently a single circulating port serves as the input/output port of the device. The configuration can be applied to an optical waveguide structure and, or more particularly to an optical fiber structure. Furthermore this configuration can combine multiplexing/demultiplexing function with a dispersion compensation function by adding a group of fiber Bragg gratings to a port of a circulator.

Inventor: BAKOULINE MIKHAIL
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1996-06-26
Granted: 2002-06-25
Abstract: Timing recovery, with or without frame synchronization, in a cellular TDMA communications system is carried out by a method comprising estimating indirect variables, which embody sampling delay information, of a linear complex vector using a maximum likelihood criterion, and recovering the sampling delay from the estimated indirect variables. For recovering the sampling delay, an optimal procedure and three sub-optimal, but computationally simpler, procedures are described, along with their physical  implementations. For frame synchronization, the timing recovery sampling del ay is supplemented by a number of sample spacings determined by a maximum of signal amplitudes of a plurality of samples, calculated from the estimated indirect variables and the timing recovery sampling delay.

Abstract: In systems wherein signal compression is performed using matched filters or transforms, as in the case of radar, multiple extrapolations are used to resolve beyond the limits of diffraction. In one example (Figure 4), development of the method begins with a complex, uniformly weighted SAR or inverse SAR signal represented by a rectangle function. After performing an FFT (34), adaptive sidelobe reduction is carried out followed by an inverse weighting and truncation, after which the original signal is used to replace the center portion of the extrapolated signal (Figure 7). The signal is again transformed and sidelobe reduced, and inverse weighting and truncation are again performed, followed by the original data replacement step. The extrapolation procedure may be repeated end times, extrapolating each time by a factor K for a total extrapolation factor of K = kn.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un système et un procédé qui permettent de communiquer une clé entre deux stations (1, 2) à l'aide d'un système interférométrique et en vue d'une cryptographie quantique. Ce procédé consiste à envoyer au moins deux impulsions lumineuses sur un canal quantique (3), puis à mesurer les interférences créées par ces impulsions dans l'une des stations (Bob). Les impulsions générant des interférences vont parcourir les mêmes bras de l'interféromètre mais selon une autre séquence, ceci de manière à ce qu'elle soient retardées au moment où elles parcourent le canal quantique. Les impulsions sont réfléchies par des miroirs de Faraday (14, 16, 22) situés aux extrémités du canal quantique de manière à éliminer les effets de polarisation. Ce système a pour avantage de rendre inutile tout alignement ou équilibrage des bras des interféromètres, et peut être utilisé dans des stations de jeu prêtes à l'emploi (1, 2).

Abstract: Débitmètre sanguin à échantillonnage qui fournit des mesures périodiques de la vitesse circulatoire ou du flux sanguin volumétrique sur un cycle cardiaque, avec une réduction de la consommation moyenne de puissance, ce qui est avantageux pour réduire la taille de la pile et allonger sa durée de vie, ainsi que pour une application implantable. Des techniques de Doppler à onde continue, de Doppler pulsé, de Doppler à laser, de temps de transit, de flux électromagnétique et de thermodilution sont utilisées. L'effet stroboscopique provoque un niveau plus élevé d'excitation pendant les périodes actives, ce qui améliore le rapport signal-bruit et fournit un mode d'attente à faible utilisation de puissance pendant les périodes d'inactivité entre les périodes actives. La présente invention peut être utilisée pour des applications chroniques ou aiguës. Les signaux Doppler ou autres peuvent être télémesurés à l'aide d'une partie implantée du débitmètre en vue d'un traitement desdits signaux pour obtenir la vitesse ou le flux volumétrique. Alternativement, ce dispositif de traitement de signaux est également implanté, si bien que le signal de vitesse peut être transmis à un moniteur situé à distance.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating pain at a specific site with an effective concentration of capsaicin or analogues thereof are described. The methods involve providing anesthesia to the site where the capsaicin or analogues thereof is to be administrered, and then administering an effective concentration of capsaicin to the joint. The anesthesia can be provided directly to the site, or at remote site that causes anesthesia at the site where the capsaicin is to be administered.  For example, epidurel regional anesthesia can be provided to patients to which the capsaicin is to be administered at a site located from the waist down. By pretreating the site with the anesthetic, a significantly higher concentration of capsaicin can be used. Effective concentrations of capsaicin or analogues thereof range from between 0.01 and 10 % by weight, preferably between t and 7.5 % by weight, and more preferably, about 5 % by weight. This provides for greater and more prolonged pain relief, for periods of time ranging from one week to several weeks. In some cases the pain relief may be more sustained because the disease that underlies the pain may improve due to a variety of factors including enhancement of physical therapy due to less pain in the soft tissues which may foster enhanced mobilization of soft tissues, tendons, and joints.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process for the production of osteosynthesis plates with a varying thickness thin to whatever degree. The plates are manufactured by a metal cutting process carried out on a composite structure made by a layer of the material which will form the osteosynthesis plate, bound through a layer of adhesive to a supporting layer with high thermal conductivity and mechanical strength. When the cutting process terminates, the osteosynthesis plate is separated from the supporting layer by heating the composite structure until the adhesive melts or by using a thinner suitable for the adopted adhesive.
