Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing a traffic measurement in a telecommunication network is disclosed, wherein a real-time traffic intensity measurement is based on a total reservation time calculation of an object, each time the traffic state of the object is changed. The object can be any circuit of a circuit group and the state change can be a circuit reservation or release. Since the total reservation time is calculated at any state change of the object, state changes are considered regardless of the actual reporting time. Thus, exact and real-time traffic intensity values can be obtained.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé permettant de combiner de multiples trains de cellules de données en un seul fil de cellules. En permettant à plusieurs ports d'entrée d'un dispositif intermédiaire d'accéder à un seul port de sortie parallèle du dispositif, plusieurs éléments de commutateur de réseau partagent un fil unique d'un tissu de commutateur. Le procédé et l'appareil en question permettent notamment d'entrelacer les sorties de cellules à largeur de bande relativement faible de deux unités (202A, 202B) de commande centrale de commutateur de réseau MTA sur un seul fil (212) acheminé par l'intermédiaire d'un tissu (204) de commutateur interconnecté. Certaines de ces cellules sont reçues du tissu du commutateur au niveau d'une entrée parallèle du dispositif intermédiaire, puis acheminées vers l'un des ports de sortie série. La régulation de l'acheminement des cellules vers les ports d'entrée série permet d'éviter un dépassement de la largeur de bande du fil partagé.

Abstract: Un poids, de préférence sphérique, attaché par un premier crochet autolibérable à un premier câble d'acier tombe sous l'effet de la gravité dans un premier de deux puits de guidage de transport vertical. Lorsque le poids tombe, il provoque le déroulement du câble d'acier sur l'un des deux éléments d'un tambour tout en provoquant l'enroulement d'un second câble sur l'autre élément. Ledit tambour est relié par une boîte d'engrenage à un générateur à volant cinétique. Lorsque le poids atteint le niveau du sol, l'engrenage est au point neutre, le générateur continue à tourner et le crochet sépare le poids du câble. Le crochet reste suspendu pendant que le poids se déplace vers une chambre d'inversion. Un système à plongeur pousse le poids à travers la chambre d'inversion jusqu'à ce qu'il pénètre dans un puits de retour vertical rempli d'eau, tout en empêchant que les puits de transport ne débordent. Le poids flotte à la surface de l'eau le long du puits de retour. Un second crochet autolibérable attrape le poids sur le second câble d'acier, également enroulé autour du tambour à deux éléments, pour l'amener au premier puits de transport à guidage. Ainsi, le cycle se répète dès lors que le câble s'enroule à nouveau, grâce au crochet, sur le tambour. Ce processus a pour effet de générer de l'électricité en continu.

Abstract: The detector (6) for the secondary electrons in a SEM provided with an electrostatic objective (14, 16) is arranged ahead of the objective, thus enabling a high detection efficiency. According to the invention, the deflection of the beam is performed electrically and the deflection electrodes (10, 12) are arranged between the detector (6) and the last two electrodes (14, 16) of the objective. The beam deflection is realized by means of two oppositely directed electrical deflection fields in such a manner that the tilting point of the scanning motion is situated at the center (20) of the objective lens, thus avoiding additional lens defects and obstruction of the beam by the limited dimensions of the objective bore. This results in a large field of view, without loss of resolution. Furthermore, deflection by means of two oppositely directed fields has the effect that the paths (24) of the secondary electrons traveling to the detector (6) are shaped such that a larger part thereof reaches the detection material (6).

IPC: B22D21/04
Filed: 1998-11-30
Abstract: Aux fins de moulage sous pression d'alliage de magnésium à l'état fondu ou thixotrope dans une machine à mouler sous pression comprenant un moule ou une matrice définissant une cavité de matrice, l'invention concerne la mise en place ou l'utilisation d'un système de coulée de métal comprenant une matrice ou un moule définissant au moins un chenal de coulée depuis lequel l'alliage de magnésium fondu peut être injecté dans la cavité de matrice. Ce système a une forme qui permet un contrôle de la vitesse de coulée du métal à l'intérieur du système proprement dit, moyennant quoi sensiblement tout le métal s'écoulant via la cavité de matrice est à l'état visqueux ou semi-solide. On parvient à remplir progressivement la cavité de matrice en utilisant des fronts de métal semi-solides qui s'éloignent d'une porte ou autre site d'injection. L'écoulement de l'alliage de magnésium depuis le chenal de coulée peut se faire via au moins une région d'expansion contrôlée du système de coulée du métal, région dans laquelle le flux de métal peut s'étaler latéralement, par rapport à la direction d'injection, ce qui permet de réduire la vitesse d'écoulement par rapport à la vitesse dans le chenal de coulée.

Abstract: In order to gather, store temporarily and efficiently deliver safestore information in a CPU (10) having data manipulation (40) circuitry including a register bank, first and second serially oriented safestore buffers are employed. At suitable times during the processing of information, a copy of the instantaneous contents of the register bank is transferred into the first safestore buffer. After a brief delay, a copy of the first safestore buffer is transferred into the second safestore buffer. If a call for a domain change (42) (which might include a process change or a fault) is sensed, a safestore frame is sent to cache (3), and the first safestore buffer is loaded from the second safestore buffer rather than from the register bank. Later, during a climb operation, if a restart of the interrupted process is undertaken and the restoration of the register bank is directed to be taken from the first safestore buffer, this source, rather than the safestore frame stored in cache (3), is employed to obtain a corresponding increase in the rate of restart. In one embodiment, the transfer of information between the register bank and the safestore buffers is carried out on a bit-by-bit basis to achieve additional flexibility of operation and also to conserve integrated circuit space.

used for the formation of internal electrodes in a ceramic element such as a laminated
ceramic capacitor. The paste contains a metal powder of Pd or Ag/Pd, Pd
resinate, Cr resinate, and an organic vehicle. Preferably, the Pd resinate contains
sulfur in the molecule. Also preferably, the paste contains the Pd resinate in an
amount of 2.0-3.0 parts by weight as reduced to Pd, based on 100 parts by weight
of Pd in the metal powder, and the Cr resinate in an amount of 0.03-0.12 parts by
weight as reduced to Cr 2 O 3 , based on 100 parts by weight of the metal powder.
