Abstract: A method of leading away static electricity in mutually joined plastic pipes of the kind intended for the transportation of gasoline or other hydrocarbons and with which the inner walls of the pipes are provided with an inner barrier layer. According to the method, an electrically conductive substance is mixed with the inner barrier layer of respective pipes so as to make the whole of the layer or longitudinally extending strings thereof electrically conductive. A sleeve-like body of conductive material is placed in the ends of two pipe-parts to be joined end-to-end, so as to internally bridge the intermediate joint; and a contact pressure is generated between the sleeve-like body and the inner surfaces of the barrier layers at the ends of the two pipe-parts so as to provide an inner, electrically conductive connection between the conductive barrier layers of the mutually joined pipe-parts.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système permettant de construire des agents logiciels coopératifs. Ce système comprend une série d'éditeurs (305) qui assurent la capture des données permettant d'installer le système dans les agents individuels. Les agents logiciels coopératifs forment normalement un ensemble comprenant quelques agents (315) standard fournis par le système, et collaborent pour produire une fonctionnalité dans un domaine sélectionné par l'utilisateur. Chaque agent logiciel coopératif construit par le système met en oeuvre des politiques de coordination sélectionnées par l'utilisateur et représentées par un graphique (310) de coordination. Un agent logiciel coopératif isolé peut comprendre plusieurs politiques de collaboration et est capable d'exécuter simultanément plusieurs politiques de coopération avec différents agents du système. Pendant l'utilisation des agents coopératifs dans le domaine défini, un processeur d'exceptions signale une exception lorsqu'un conflit apparaît entre la valeur d'une variable pour un agent et une contrainte correspondante. Selon une autre variante, le processeur d'exception signale une exception lorsque l'allocation des tâches entre les agents coopératifs ne permet pas le respect des contraintes de ressources et des contraintes temporelles. Les ensembles d'agents logiciels intégrés au système peuvent servir à lancer et/ou à gérer des services de télécommunication ou à commander un processus chimique par exemple.

Abstract: A method for detecting a transient in a discrete-time audio signal is performed completely in the time domain and includes the step of segmenting the discrete-time audio signal so as to generate consecutive segments of the same length with unfiltered discrete-time audio signals xs(T-1). The discrete-time audio signal in a current segment is subsequently filtered. Then either the energy of the filtered discrete-time audio signal in the current segment can be compared with the energy of the filtered discrete-time audio signal in a preceding segment or a current relationship between the energy of the filtered discrete-time audio signal in the current segment and the energy of the unfiltered discrete-time audio signal in the current segment can be formed and this current relationship compared with a preceding corresponding relationship. On the basis of the one and/or the other of these comparisons it is detected whether a transient is present in the discrete-time audio signal.

Abstract: A fluid system and method according to which a first fluid, a second fluid, or a blend of the fuels is passed to a first meter for measuring the flow thereof while the second fluid is passed through a second meter before it passes to the first meter. The flow of the first fluid to the first meter and the flow of the second fluid to the second meter and then to the first meter are controlled by valves and, as a result, a predetermined ratio of the blended fluids can be established and maintained. The second meter can be calibrated based on the first meter and therefore does not have to inherently provide relatively accurate volumetric measurements. Thus, the second meter can be less costly than the first meter.

Abstract: A method for monitoring communication performance in a communication network comprising computer systems communicatively coupled to each other with communication equipment. In one embodiment, a computer system of a communication network measures and time-stamps network performance statistics and stores them in a memory unit within the computer system. The computer system also measures and time-stamps system performance statistics and system parameters and stores them in the memory unit within the computer system. The computer system reports the network performance statistics and the system information to a central computer system at specified time intervals. The central computer system correlates the network performance statistics and the system information for a specified time period based on the time-stamping and stores the network performance statistics and the system information in a memory unit within the computer system. The central computer system displays the correlated network performance statistics and system information to a user in response to the identification of a perturbation in the communication network, where the correlated network performance statistics and system information are displayed for a time interval contemporaneous with the perturbation, so that the user can integrally analyze the information. <IMAGE>

The or each pallet (1, 20) comprises a load bearing generally planar surface and a structure located beneath the plane of the surface having a plurality of channels (3, 4) therein to receive the tines (10) of a fork lift truck whereby the pallet (1, 20) and its associated load (5) can be handled by the fork lift. The pallet (1, 20) has alternating closed (4) and open (3) top channels in the structure underlying the load bearing surface. The open top channels (3) permit tines (10) of a fork lift truck when located in at least some of those channels (3) to engage the base of a load (5) carried upon the pallet directly so that the load can be lifted free from the pallet. The close top channels (4) permit tines (10) of a fork lift truck when located in at least some of those channels (4) to engage the top of the channels to raise the pallet and any load carried on the pallet. The fork lift comprises a plurality of laterally spaced apart tines (10) for engaging in channels (3, 4) of the pallet, and means for raising and lowering the tines. At least one of the tines (10) is laterally moveable so that when the movable tine (10) is brought sufficiently close to an adjacent tine (10), both tines may be inserted into a single channel (3, 4) in the pallet (1, 20). The invention also provides a pallet for use in the system, and an attachment for a fork lift or tractor, for use in the system. <IMAGE>
