Abstract: The invention concerns a method for initially or subsequently equipping a floor drain (1), comprising a discharge conduit (3), with a fire barrier device for preventing fire from spreading. The invention is characterized in that said fire-barrier device comprises a fire-barrier cartridge (2), provided with at least a fire-barrier element (2), which can be traversed and plugged above or beneath said discharge conduit (3). In case of fire, said fire-barrier element provides gas tight sealing to the discharge conduit (3) of the floor drain (1) under the effect of heat. Said invention concerns also a device for implementing said method. It is thus possible to retrofit a floor drain (1) with suitable fire-barrier devices without any particular and expensive structural engineering.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for verifying program code conversion performed by an emulator. A first emulator configured in a same-to-same (X-X) mode converts subject code into target code for execution by a subject processor. Execution of the subject code natively by the subject processor is compared against execution through the first emulator, to verify that program code conversion. Optionally, the first emulator is then used to incrementally validate program code conversion (i.e. optimisation and/or translation) performed by a second emulator, such as a this-to-that (X-Y) mode emulator running on a target processor.

Abstract: An improved multi-channel optical equalizer method and apparatus for intersymbol interference mitigation compensates for single- or multi- wavelength channels simultaneously and requires few adjustable parameters. The optical equalizer can also compensate for overshoots and signal transition degradations of a semiconductor optical amplifier. The equalizer unit has only two control signals, one to control signal magnitude and one to control signal phase, yet it can still compensate many wavelength channels simultaneously. The equalizer includes a coupler with a controllable coupling ratio for splitting the light into two portions and a controllable interferometer means having two arms, one arm having an additional delay which is equal to an integer multiple of 1/ DELTA f, where  DELTA f is the channel spacing between adjacent wavelengths utilized in the optical system. The controllable interferometer unit also has a controllable delay in a first or second arm for adjusting the relative phase of the light passing therethrough. A coupler combines the two signal portions from the first and second arms to form the equalized output signal. In a second embodiment, the equalizer includes two equalizer units connected in series to compensate for both leading and lagging intersymbol interference. <IMAGE>
