Filed: 1997-07-03
Abstract: An alarm monitoring apparatus and method allows a user of a
management station to dynamically create and flexibly
configure SNMP traps based on any management information
base variable without having to define an exhaustive set of
trap definitions in a management information base.
Apparatus for monitoring status of a network device
includes a processor assembly coupled to the network device
and a data memory member accessible by the processor
assembly for indicating user-defined alarm thresholds of
the subject device. The processor assembly obtains
threshold data from the data memory member and compares
current status to the obtained threshold data. Upon a
threshold being met by the current status, the processor
assembly transmits an indication of threshold condition of
the subject device to a system management station across a
network. The data memory member is a database formed of a
plurality of records defined by a management information
base.

Abstract: A penetrator having a plurality of stacked penetrator
segments is disclosed. Each penetrator segment has a nose
portion and a rear portion. The rear portion of each
penetrator segment has a rearwardly opening cavity therein
and a plurality of fins pivotally mounted thereon. The
penetrator segments are stacked such that the cavity of
the forwardmost penetrator segment contains the nose
portion of the following penetrator segment, and the
following penetrator segments are similarly positioned
such that the nose portion of each following penetrator
segment is positioned in the cavity of the immediately
preceding penetrator segment. The fins of each penetrator
segment are restrained in a stowed position when the
cavity of the respective penetrator segment contains the
nose portion of a following penetrator segment. Upon
initiation of deployment of the penetrator, aerodynamic
drag against the tail portion of the rearmost penetrator
segment causes the rearmost penetrator segment to separate
from the stack of penetrator segments by withdrawing from
the cavity of the preceding penetrator segment, which
thereby allows the fins of the preceding penetrator
segment to deploy, which in turn causes that penetrator
segment to separate from the remaining stack of penetrator
segments. Each penetrator segment aerodynamically
separates from the stack of penetrator segments in a like
manner, until all of the penetrator segments have
separated. The penetrator is then in a fully deployed
configuration such that each penetrator segment can
separately impact a target.

Abstract: A multi-processor system has a plurality of processing elements interconnected by a network for transmitting data between the elements. Each of the elements has a status table, indicating that element's view of the statuses of all the elements in the system, and a reliability map, containing a bit for each element in the system, along with copies of the reliability maps of all the other elements in the system. Each element sets the bits in its reliability map to indicate which of the other elements it is in regular communication with. Whenever an element's own reliability map changes, the element sends a copy of that map to all the other elements. Whenever any bit changes in any of the reliability maps held by an element, that element uses the maps to perform a status re-evaluation of all the elements, and updates its status table. This provides a consensus voting mechanism which ensures that all elements arrive at the same view of the element statuses.

Abstract: Il est possible de déjouer la tolérance du système immun à l'égard d'antigènes de différenciation autonome et de stimuler une réponse immune par administration d'un antigène de différenciation thérapeutique. On a modifié de trois manières cet antigène de différenciation thérapeutique par rapport à l'antigène de différenciation cible, chez l'individu en cours de traitement (à savoir l'antigène de différenciation vis-à-vis duquel une réponse immune est souhaitée). Premièrement, l'antigène de différenciation thérapeutique peut être syngénique avec l'antigène de différenciation cible, à condition que l'antigène de différenciation thérapeutique soit exprimé dans des cellules d'une espèce différente de celle appartenant à l'individu en cours de traitement. Par exemple, on peut utiliser un antigène de différenciation humain exprimé dans un insecte ou dans tout autre cellule hôte non humaine, afin de stimuler, chez l'homme, une réponse immune à l'égard de l'antigène de différenciation. Deuxièmement, l'antigène de différenciation thérapeutique peut être une forme mutante d'un antigène de différenciation syngénique, par exemple un mutant par glycosylation. Troisièmement, l'antigène de différenciation thérapeutique peut être un antigène de différenciation (de type sauvage ou mutant) du même type mais provenant d'une espèce différant de celle de l'individu en cours de traitement. Par exemple, on peut utiliser un antigène de différenciation de souris pour stimuler chez l'homme une réponse immune à l'égard de l'antigène de différenciation correspondant. L'administration d'antigènes modifiés selon l'invention permet d'obtenir, chez l'individu traité, une immunité efficace contre l'antigène original exprimé par le cancer.

Abstract: In a Viterbi decoder, a trace-back operation is carried out
using three dual-port RAMs of the number of bits =
8 and the number of words = 4 are provided in a path
memory circuit. Path selection information is
sequentially written into the three RAMs every clock in
accordance with the control of a control circuit. On
the other hand, the path selection information is read
out every clock from the RAMs in accordance with the
control of the control circuit and is inputted as read
path selection information or the like to a tracing
circuit. The tracing circuit executes the tracing
operation as many as three times on the basis of the
read path selection information and trace starting
state information which is formed by the control
circuit. On the basis of a tracing result, the
decoding data and a trace starting state in the
subsequent clock are obtained. Thus, high speed operation
is performed with a circuit having a small size.

Abstract: A closed-loop system for regulating a fiber
optic gyroscope is configured so that the residual error
of a so-called deadbeat system assumes a higher order
function of frequency. The closed-loop gyro includes a
rate controller (46) within the feedback path. The rate
controller receives the gyro output from the last loop
transit corrected for d.c. offset and for nominal dither
and outputs a gyro rate estimate. The rate controller
includes a plurality of feedback integrators (46A,46B) in cascaded
relationship. In this way, the residual gyro error
associated with inherent loop delay is elevated to a
higher-order relationship to sensed gyro rate. As a
result, a substantial reduction in residual error as a
function of sensed gyro rate occurs throughout the range
of operational gyro frequencies.

respiration of the plant parts generates a stable
modified atmosphere which enhances the storage lifetime.
Nylon film allows the escape of water vapour. Limited
communication with the atmosphere, e.g. using non-gastight
seals and/or micropores, enables oxygen levels
to reach a dynamic equilibrium. In potatoes, oxygen
level are desirably 2-14%, more preferably 3-8% by
volume. This suppresses greening and sprouting.
Excessively low oxygen levels can allow anaerobic
organisms and processes, leading to spoilage.
