Patent EP-0891000-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MILEWITS MARVIN
IPC: H01M4/02
Filed: 1998-07-06
Abstract: The present invention relates to a new method of constructing and interrogating
electrochemical cells, especially those having lithium thionyl chloride (Li/SOCl 2 ) chemistry,
that permits rapid estimation of remaining discharge capacity. A preferred embodiment of
the present invention employs cells with specially modified anode structures and a method for
testing the state of charge and remaining life of these cells, as well as depassivating these
cells, prior to their intended use or re-use. The test method can be performed using an
inexpensive DC circuit and voltmeter at ambient conditions anytime prior to cell use or re-use.
There is also disclosed an oilfield services downhole tool battery having a remaining
life indicator comprising a housing containing one or more electrochemical cells having an
internal anode means which selectively gets consumed at a predetermined state of discharge
thereby creating a step change in the cell output voltage which is imperceptible to the tool
while in operation at downhole temperatures, and which is capable of being detected at the
surface under ambient temperatures upon administering of a suitable current load enabling the
user to determine the remaining battery life at the surface prior to subsequent use or reuse of
the battery in downhole oilfield services operations.

Title: System and method for providing unbundled access to subscriber access lines
Inventor: SYLVAIN DANY
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 1998-10-27
Abstract: A telecommunication switching network is described in which one or more
competing local exchange carriers are to be provided with unbundled access to customer
premises equipment though subscriber access lines. The customer premises equipment is
comprised of user terminals and a customer premises equipment connector that can transmit
and receive any combination of telephone, fax, modem, video, and data signals. A line
interface module is connected to the customer premises equipment by means of subscriber
lines for routing the signals originating with the customer premises equipment ("local access
signals") to a competing local access service node, instead of the service node operated by
the incumbent local exchange carrier. A network interface module is provided to set up a call
path through a generic connectivity network. The generic connectivity network, which is
comprised of a number of interconnected switching nodes, transmits the local access signals
to and from the service node operated by the competing local exchange carrier.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de disposer un condensateur enterré sur un substrat ou support analogue et un condensateur enterré disposé selon ce procédé. Afin de diminuer les pertes par résistance dans un condensateur et afin de le rendre plus efficace, on peut utiliser dans des circuits à semi-conducteurs un ou plusieurs corps (14) métalliques tels que l'aluminium ou le tungstène à la place de la couche polycristalline. Ceci a pu être réalisé grâce à une nouvelle technique consistant à attaquer le remplissage de la tranchée formé d'un matériau conducteur sans que l'on ait à effectuer une extraction par attaque de la couche isolante (13) se trouvant dans la tranchée. Après avoir enlevé par attaque le remplissage de la tranchée, la tranchée est remplie au moyen du métal (14) précité, la couche isolante (13) située entre le matériau conducteur et le corps métallique sépare ainsi deux surfaces conductrices et l'on obtient un condensateur enterré.

Abstract: The method involves a receiver station classifying the communications traffic w.r.t. predefined combinations of the parameters mean bit rate and peak bit rate to the check the ability to accept a communications request. Acceptance checking is based on an effective bandwidth by the use of a known statistical multiplexer algorithm for homogeneous traffic, taking into account a reduced transmission capacity. The effective bandwidths determined as necessary for the lasses produced is taken into account essentially additively without statistical multiplexing. An Independent claim is also included for an equipment for receiving a number of digital; signals with potentially different bandwidths.

Inventor: KAGEYAMA MASAHIRO
IPC: G11B27/034
Filed: 1999-06-29
Abstract: When image data or the like is recorded by using a
conventional control program which now becomes available, we
encounter a problem that the image reproduction is abruptly
broken. In order to solve the problem, the present invention
proposes a method in which immediately after the recording
operation is started, a recording medium is searched to find a
vacant region of which length is too short to carry out seamless
recording (vacant region having a length shorter than the
minimum recording length) and the region is set to a recording
prohibiting region, and thereafter data recording is carried out
in a general manner. As a method of setting the vacant region to
the recording prohibiting region, there is proposed one in which
the vacant region on the recording medium is attached with
information indicating that the region has been already occupied.
Alternatively, the region may be regarded as a defect region and
the region is registered in a defect register region of the
recording medium.

Abstract: The fire resistance of components normally subject to a standard flame test is evaluated using low temperature model tests. Reynolds number, Froude number, the pressure ratio of the flame to the surrounding atmosphere are matched in the modelling parameters and account is taken of the Prandtl number. Also, the model flow is controlled so as to match the change of momentum flux ratio in the flow through the burner used in a standard flame test. The method allows testing of easily produced model components at temperatures less than 90 DEG C, with savings of cost and time. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A router attached to a network is a member of a virtual router for the
network in accordance with VRRP. A port or interface on the router other
than a port that attaches the router to the network is specified as critical.
VRRP is not enabled for the critical port. (Alternatively, VRRP may be
enabled for the critical port to provide routing redundancy for a different
network and would not affect the virtual router associated with this network).
If the critical port on a master virtual router fails or is otherwise unable to
forward packets, a state change is nevertheless triggered within the VRRP
finite state machine that exists at the port on the master virtual router for
which VRRP is enabled. The change in the VRRP finite state machine
triggers the router to transition from the master virtual router to the new
backup virtual router. The master virtual router can directly notify the backup
virtual router to transition to master virtual router by transmitting a VRRP
packet commanding the backup virtual router to become the master virtual
router.
