Abstract: A system for managing return channel bandwidth in a two-way satellite communication
network is disclosed. A plurality of transceivers (109) transmit backlog information over a return
channel via a satellite (107), wherein the backlog information specify an amount of queued traffic
for the respective transceivers (109). A hub (113) receives the backlog information and allocates
a minimal amount of return channel bandwidth to each of the transceivers (109). The hub (113)
selectively sets a bandwidth level associated with the return channel bandwidth that is available
based upon one of a plurality of predetermined bandwidth levels according to a predetermined
criteria. The hub (113) selectively allocates additional return channel bandwidth based upon the
bandwidth level to the transceivers (109) that require additional return channel bandwidth in
excess of the allocated minimal amounts.

Abstract: L'invention a trait à un nouveau procédé utilisant la technologie laser pour amorcer des charges explosives (6, 10, 17, 30) et à un dispositif, destiné à amorcer des explosifs, qui fonctionne conformément au procédé selon des principes entièrement nouveaux. L'idée de base de l'invention consiste à amorcer la charge explosive, non pas de la manière classique utilisant un rayonnement émis par un laser, mais par autodestruction ou surchauffe d'une source laser (2, 11, 18, 25, 33) assemblée à la charge explosive(6, 10, 17, 30). L'objectif est donc de faire fondre ou exploser la source laser, et d'amorcer l'explosif de cette manière. L'invention permet d'utiliser même de très petites sources laser, du type mini ou micro, pour déclencher des charges explosives, à la place de sources laser très puissantes antérieurement nécessaires pour atteindre le même but.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a
hot-dip plated metal strip comprising the steps of: introducing
a metal strip into a molten metal bath of plating metal to adhere
the molten metal onto the surface of the metal strip; taking out
the metal strip, after turning the running direction of the metal
strip, from the molten metal bath without applying external force
from outside the surface of the metal strip; adjusting the plating
weight of the molten metal adhered onto the metal strip; and
controlling the shape of the metal strip using magnetic force
in non-contact state directly before or after the step of
adjusting the coating weight. The invention prevents adhesion
of dross to the metal strip without degrading the productivity,
and thus manufactures a high quality hot-dip plated metal strip.
