IPC: G07B17/00
Filed: 2000-12-21
Abstract: A method and apparatus for interfacing a weighing scale and one or more peripheral devices which includes a single intelligent interface cable assembly connected between a weighing scale and a plurality of peripheral devices, the IICA detects the peripheral device protocol by receiving a logic signal indicating which protocol is in operation, if necessary, the IICA then switches the signal protocol of the weighing scale to correspond with the signal protocol of the detected peripheral device protocol. Simultaneous, tripping of a mailing machine to print postage amounts may occur.
Patent CA-2330088-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SUNAHARA SHUICHI
IPC: G01R33/028
Filed: 1999-04-27
Abstract: A reliable magnetic sensor using optical fiber, which has fast frequency response and high sensitivity and is resistant to environments such as heat and vibrations. A metal-coated optical fiber (13) undergoes much greater stress in its bent portion than in its linear portion. Sounds or transverse waves resonate at a bend in the metal-coated optical fiber (13) that is substantially a rigid body acting by itself as a medium through which sound propagates. Therefore, the range of the measurement can be expanded by providing much higher resonance frequency than the conventional linear sensor even if they are of the same size. That is achieved by passing an alternating current at a high frequency corresponding to the range of measurement through a closed circuit composed of an AC power supply (15), a lead (16), and the metal-coated optical fiber (13). Since the resonance frequency depends on the magnitude of the stress, a smaller radius of curvature produces a higher resonance frequency, and thus faster frequency response, provided that the same optical fiber is used.

Inventor: BAGGEN CONSTANT PAUL MARIE JOZ
IPC: G11B7/0045
Filed: 2001-01-03
Abstract: A circuit arrangement including means (5) for determining a dicer level from incoming signal levels for slicing the incoming signal levels on the basis of the slicer level thus determined, includes a first (15, 21, 131, 43) and a second (16, 22, 132, 44) register circuit, which register circuits are connected to an output (11, 12) of a discriminator circuit (8). The discriminator circuit (8) compares an incoming signal level with a set discrimination level and is adapted to apply an incoming signal level to the first register circuit (15, 21, 131, 43) if the incoming signal level is higher than the set discrimination level and to apply an incoming signal level to the second register circuit (16, 22, 132, 44) if the incoming signal level is lower than the set discrimination level. The first (15, 21, 131, 43) and the second (16, 22, 132, 44) register circuit are adapted to determine a register mean value of at least two different incoming signal levels consecutively applied to the register circuit (15, 21, 131, 43;16, 22, 132, 44). A mean-value circuit (19) supplies a signal having a level which is a mean value of the register mean values determined by the first (15, 21, 131, 43) and second (16, 22, 132, 44) register circuit. The supplied signal represents both the set discrimination level and the slicer level.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for synchronising at least one node (N1-N4) in a net (n), which node (N1-N4) is used as an example for packet oriented transmission. A server (C), generating a stable frequency (fs), and the node (N1-N4) measures the number of cycles of the stable frequency (fs) respective the number of cycles of a local frequency (f1-f4), generated by the node (N1-N4). These measurements are started respective stopped at the instant of time when a phase of a signal, generated by a power network (PN) connected to the server (C) and the node (N1-N4), equals zero.  The results of the measurements are compared and the node (N1-N4) is adjusted accordingly. Measurements can continuously be performed by the server (C) and the node (N1-N4).

Abstract: An article and processes are described for manufacturing a metallurgical pour tube for use in the continuous casting of steel. The article has an erosion-resistant sleeve within a body of the pour tube. An accommodation region allowing for thermal expansion of the sleeve is disposed between the sleeve and the body. The region comprises a gap or a compressible material. As the pour tube is brought to casting temperatures, the region permits the sleeve to expand without fracturing the body of the pour tube. The article may be formed by several processes. A first process describes placing a pre-formed sleeve coated with a spacer material in a body mix and firing the article to form an accommodation region. A second process comprises injecting an erosion-resistant refractory mix into a cavity within the body and firing the article.  A third process secures a sleeve within an accommodation region formed by mechanically securing a third component to the body of the pour tube. A fourth process describes using a guide means to segregate a body mix, an erosion-resistant material, and a spacer material, whereby firing produces an erosion-resistant sleeve and an accommodation region within a pour tube body.

Title: Nmr logging apparatus and methods for fluid typing
Inventor: HOU LEI B
IPC: G01R33/46
Filed: 1999-10-29
Abstract: A novel method and apparatus is disclosed for the separation of fluid phases in NMR borehole measurements (1, 8). The method is based on selecting an optimum contrast mechanism and a corresponding set of measurement parameters for a particular borehole environment. The contrast mechanism can be based on diffusion, relaxation time or hydrogen index differences between different types of fluids (2). Once an initial measurement is made, the measurement parameters are compared to a predetermined set of values to broadly the types of fluids present in the geologic environment. If necessary, the measurement is repeated to obtain optimal fluid typing for the estimated fluid types.

Abstract: A public mobile access data network provides a mobile node data access to the Internet and data access to the mobile node from the Internet even when a point of attachment of the mobile node to the public mobile access data network changes. A public mobility management service is provided to locate mobile nodes so that the Internet is aware of the mobile node's current point of attachment. Advantageously, this public mobility management service is provided independently of mobility services offered by radio access, technology-specific networks. The public mobile access service is implemented using a home agent/foreign agent model where the home and foreign agents transfer data packets over the public mobile access network via a data tunnel.  In a preferred, example embodiment, mobile Internet protocol (IP) is used at the network protocol layer to provide the public mobility service. The mobile IP packets are carried using multi-protocol label path switching (MPLS) label switched paths (LSPs) which provide a number of benefits such as tunneling flexibility, configurability, and efficiency.
