Patent EP-1130526-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BLUMENAU TREVOR I
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 1997-08-29
Abstract: The invention can enable the expeditious provision of
updated and/or tailored content over a network from a
content provider's site to a content display site so that
the content provider's current and appropriately tailored
content is always displayed at the content display site.
Aspects of the invention related to transfer of content over
a network are generally applicable to any type of network.
However, it is contemplated that the invention can be
particularly useful with a computer network, including
private computer networks (e.g. America Online™) and public
computer networks (e.g. the Internet). In particular, the
invention can be advantageously used with computer networks
or portions of computer networks over which video and/or
audio content are transferred from one network site to
another network site for observation, such as the World Wide
Web portion of the Internet.

Abstract: A combustor of a gas turbine includes a combustion
tube acting as a combustion chamber. In the combustion
tube, a cylindrical heat insulating member is disposed
and forms a wall of the combustion chamber. Numerous
cooling air passages are formed in the heat insulating
member and extending in the axial direction between
cooling air inlet disposed at one end of the heat
insulating member and cooling air outlet disposed at the
other end of the heat insulating member. The heat
insulating member is attached to the inner surface of the
combustion tube at its cooling air inlet side end and a
seal ring is disposed around the outer circumference of
the heat insulating member at a portion between the
cooling air inlet side end and the cooling air outlet
side end. The seal ring is made of heat resistant
material and prevents cooling air flowing through the
annular space between the inner surface of the combustion
tube and the outer surface of the heat insulating member.
Since cooling air flows through the annular space around
the outer surface of the heat insulating member, all of
cooling air flows through the cooling passages in the
heat insulating member and is used for cooling the heat
insulating member. Therefore, the cooling capacity of
the heat insulating member increases.

Abstract: A laser control apparatus that controls a laser device acquires state data
from the laser device indicating the state of the laser device every time a specific
preset event occurs, such as the generation of a fixed number of discharge pulses,
for example, and transmits this data to a monitor terminal. The monitor terminal
transfers the received state data to a server device via a communication channel.
In the server device, a database is updated and output data is generated based on
the transferred state data. This output data is input to a display terminal via a
communication channel, and is displayed on the display terminal.

Abstract: A fault management system is operated for an access network which forms part of a communications network. In the access network, terminating lines in the form of pairs of copper wires extend from a local switch through a series of nodes to terminal equipment provided for users of the network. The fault management system includes a test head and an access network system. Each night, the test head performs a series of tests on each of the terminating lines. The results of the tests are transmitted to the access network management. The test results are then analyzed with respect to a set of parameters to identify characteristics that would indicate that a fault is likely to occur on the associated circuit within a predetermined period e.g. 1 year. Further analysis can then be carried out to establish the probability of the fault actually occurring and/or whether the potential fault analyzed is going to occur in either the underground or the over-ground part of the network.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting the closure of one of several switches
(51-55) using a single input line of a detector is disclosed. The input line is also
used to carry an audio-frequency signal when a recording switch is closed. The
switches are connected to a network of resistors that cooperate with a pull-up
resistor to form a voltage divider. The pull-up resistor is connected to the input
line. The switches (51-55) are closed to selectively switch resistors (R1-R5) in
the network our of the voltage divider to change the voltage on the input line. A
detector reads the voltage on the input line and compares it with a set of
predetermined values to determine which switch is closed. If a recording switch
is closed, a microphone connected to the network of resistors converts sound to
an audio-frequency signal onto the input line.
