Abstract: An air conditioner has a blow-off outlet (11)
blowing off wind flowing from an indoor heat-exchanger (7);
and a closing member (20, 21) provided by spacing one end
thereof by a predetermined length (X) from each of ends
(11a, 11b) of the blow-off outlet toward a center of the
blow-off outlet (11) to partly close the blow-off outlet
(11). Therefore, when cold wind blown out from the indoor
heat exchanger (7) strikes the closing member (20, 21)
during an air-cooling operation, the cold wind is capable
dividedly of flowing to openings positioned at both sides
of the closing member (20, 21). Accordingly, the end
portion of the wind direction blade (15) is covered with
the cold wind, and it is possible to prevent the cold wind
and indoor air from contacting each other at the end
portion of the wind direction blade (15). Accordingly, it
is possible to allow the air to flow smoothly and prevent
dew from being formed on the end portion of the wind
direction blade (15).

Abstract: An optical communications network configured in a shared protect capacity architecture. The network includes a plurality of shared and unshared nodes; a plurality of working lines connecting the plurality of nodes to form a ring that shares two or more nodes with another ring; a shared protect fiber optic line connecting the two shared nodes; and a plurality of protect lines connecting the plurality of unshared nodes which are connected by the plurality of working lines. By optically coupling a first Add-Drop Multiplexer of a first shared node to a first port of an optical cross connect using a first connecting path; optically coupling a second Add-Drop Multiplexer of the first shared node to a second port of the optical cross connect using a second connecting path; and optically coupling a third port of the Optical Cross Connect to a second shared node through a shared protect path, both rings may use the shared protect path to re-route traffic therethrough in the event that one of the rings has a break which severs the working and protect lines which couple two of the nodes thereof. The reduction in the quantity of protect lines, hence the fiber, and the equipment resulting in the associated cost savings are transparent to bit or baud rate, type of optical fiber, and signal format.

and filling yarns of raw polyester filament at a
temperature in a range from 160 °C to 210 °C prior to
or after the scouring while being narrowed in width by 5
to 30% relative to the grey fabric.

Abstract: The process for the production of the capacitive structure includes forming a multilayer structure with vias, and etching the deposited second and third conducting layers using the same mask. The first insulating layer formed on a semiconductor substrate is initially coated with a sacrificial layer which is removed prior to deposition of a second insulating material. The process involves: (a) forming a first via in a first insulating layer (4) to expose a first region of a semiconductor substrate (1); (b) depositing and etching a first conducting material (5) comprising polycrystalline or amorphous silicon, to form a vertical support in the first via and a horizontal plateau on the support; (c) depositing a second insulating material (6); (d) depositing a 50 nm-thick second conducting material (10) comprising titanium nitride by chemical or vapor phase deposition (10); (e) forming a second via (11) in the second conducting coating and the first insulating layer to expose a second region (2) of the substrate; (f) depositing a third conducting material (12); and (g) etching the second and third conducting materials using the same mask. The first insulating layer formed on the semiconductor substrate is initially coated with a sacrificial layer, and in stage (c) deposition of the second insulating material is preceded by the removal of the sacrificial layer. The first and second regions of the substrate are silicided, where the silicide is titanium silicide.

Abstract: A method and system for coordinating the simultaneous execution of computer programs on a computer system. A set of key events that describe certain states and conditions that can be generated during execution of the computer programs are stored in a database, along with a set of commands for each computer program that can be accepted and executed by that computer program in response to each of the key events. When a computer program generates a state or condition during execution that corresponds to a key event, the computer program sends a notification of the occurrence of the key event to a coordination module. The coordination module then retrieves from the database the commands to be executed by each of the computer programs, and sends the retrieved commands to the computer programs for execution.
