Title: Apparent network interface for and between embedded and host processors
Inventor: BALLANTYNE TODD ANDREW
IPC: G06F13/38
Filed: 1998-11-12
Abstract: An apparent network interface (30) permits an embedded processor (20) to communicate to a host processor (2) using standard network communication mechanisms/protocols such as TCP/IP, NFS, FTP, HTTP, etc. The web server protocol HTTP is particularly useful because it permits the embedded computer to publish a user interface for remote monitoring and remote control using a standard web browser application. The invention provides the host computer (10) with an apparent network interface (30) that appears to be a standard network device, such as an Ethernet interface card. This apparent network interface (30) communicates directly with the embedded processor (20) which appears to be a device on the apparent network.  Significant cost savings and performance enhancements are realized by implementing the communication directly over the host computer's peripheral bus (6) rather than using standard network hardware such a Ethernet hardware.

Abstract: Known telecommunication systems like analog telephones require extensive adaptation in case of a change of standard with respect to the caller identification signals. By storing different code definition signals defining different caller identification signals in said telephone beforehand, all left to be done is a selection of one of said code definition signals. Even automatic adaptation can be made possible by informing said telephone about which code definition signal is to be selected and/or by sending a selection mechanism to said telephone. Said code definition signal could further be downloaded into said telephone or form part of general software, in which case said selection mechanism could form part of more specific software.

Inventor: SCHMITZ JOSEPH PAUL
IPC: B22D13/10
Filed: 2000-08-15
Abstract: A spin cast die assembly includes a casing, an insert and an end cap assembly for retaining the insert against an annular shoulder within the casing. The end cap assembly has a mounting ring attached an end of the casing. The mounting ring receives a flyweight ring which engages an end of the insert and which pivotally supports a plurality of flyweight members which are mounted radially internally with respect to the mounting ring. The mounting ring has an annular flyweight engagement surface which faces generally radially inwardly and towards the shoulder. As the assembly is spun, the inner ends of the flyweight members pivot radially outwardly. The flyweight members thereby cooperate with the flyweight engagement surfaces of the mounting ring to cause the flyweight ring to move axially towards the insert and thereby force the insert against the shoulder.

Title: Method and device for heating gas from a thin layer of nuclear fuel, and space engine using such method
Inventor: RUBBIA CARLO
IPC: B64G1/40
Filed: 2001-03-15
Abstract: A gas, e.g. hydrogen, at relatively low pressure is directly heated by the fission fragments (FF) emitted by a thin layer of fissile material, e.g. 242mAm, deposited on the inner wall of a chamber which is kept cooled at a typical temperature of about 1,000/1,500 K. The gas is preferably emitted as capillary flow from the walls of cylindrical tubes. Its temperature progressively increases until it reaches an equilibrium value of the order of 9,500 K, at which point FF heating and radiative cooling balance. With a relatively modest surface power density at the foil of 200 W/cm2, the specific, volume-averaged power given to the H gas may be as large as 0.66 MWatt/g. Heating powers up to megawatts for each gram of gas are therefore feasible with acceptable foil surface heating. The gas heating method can be used in rocket engines for deep space propulsion.

Title: Method for increasing the communication capacity of a cellular telephone system
Inventor: AUSTIN MARK DAVID
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2000-02-01
Abstract: A method of allocating time slots in a time division multiple access cellular telephone system increases the traffic capacity of a base station's RF  channel. A method is provided for operating in half rate mode while maintaining adequate signal quality over the RF channel communications link between a base station and a mobile station. Because the signal quality of the communications link depends on, among other things, the interleaving depth between sequential received time slots, increasing interleaving depth between sequential time slots within the same frame format will improve singal quality. Increasing the interleaving depth between sequential time slots may be accomplished by allocating more than one time slot within a given frame to a particular mobile station. While the conventional method of frame division does not provide for this while operating the channel in half rate mode, the present invention addresses this need by permitting a channel to operate in half rate mode, but dividing each frame into more than the cnventional six slots. In half rate mode, each mobile station is allocated at least two of the twelve slots. In rate mode, each mobile station is allocated at least four of the twelve slots. For mobile stations esperiencing little or no signal deterioration from other sources, a channel can be operated in half rate mode with little or no adverse effect to the signal quality. For mobile stations that are experiencing signal deterioration, the same channel can provide full rate mode support.
