Abstract: Dans une application de diffusion sur un réseau client-serveur, la circulation de données d'animation est émulée sur le réseau Internet à l'intention d'un grand nombre de clients. L'animation consiste en une séquence d'états. Une information d'état parvient aux clients plutôt que les données graphiques elles-mêmes. Ces clients créent les données d'animation en suivant l'information d'état. Le serveur et les clients communiquent par le biais d'un protocole objet partagé. La circulation des données s'effectue, de ce fait, comme une diffusion et ce, sans que les utilisateurs ne se trouvent confrontés à de sérieux problèmes de largeur de bande de réseau.

Title: Method and apparatus for application of surface treatment to food products
Inventor: THAKAR HIREN H
IPC: A01J27/00
Filed: 2000-05-02
Granted: 2005-02-22
Abstract: A method and apparatus for applying a material to food products in a high speed packaging line at a controlled rate in compliance with applicable food-handling equipment standards, preferably in a liquid spray, without immersion, wherein the rate of application is sufficient for efficacy of the material without resulting in transfer of unacceptable quantities of the material or carrier to adjacent line components. The invention is particularly useful for spray application of a liquid antimycotic agent to cheese chunks, at a regulated rate that provides a sufficient surface concentration to inhibit mold growth on the surfaces of the cheese chunks after extended periods of exposure to ambient air, without unacceptable transfer of residue to adjacent components in the packaging line. The invention is preferably employed in application of natamycin to cheese chunks wherein a disk spray system applies a suspension of natamycin in an aqueous saline solution. It has been found that mold growth on cheese chunks can be substantially inhibited by application of natamycin in accordance with the invention at levels as low as about 0.5 µg/cm2 . In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the process applies an average surface concentration of about 1.0 or 1.1 µg/cm2 to ensure that an adequate concentration is applied over substantially the entire exterior surface.

Title: Polymer moderated water formation
Inventor: SHEPODD TIMOTHY J
IPC: C08L101/00

Granted: 2007-06-05
Abstract: A composition suitable for safety removing hydrogen from gaseous mixtures containing hydrogen and oxygen, particularly those mixtures wherein the hydrogen concentration is within the explosive range. T he composition comprises a hydrogenation catalyst, preferably Pd dispersed on carbon, wherein the concentration of Pd is from about 1-10 wt.%, dispersed in a polymeric material matrix. As well as serving as a matrix to contain the hydrogenation catalyst, the polymeric material, which is substantially unreactive to hydrogen, provides both a diffusion restriction to hydrogen and oxygen, thereby limiting the ra te at which the reactants (hydrogen and oxygen) can diffuse to the catalyst surface and thus, the production of heat from the recombination reaction and as a heat sink.

Granted: 2005-01-04
Abstract: An electrostatic spray module for applying agricultural liquids such as a pesticide to crops where, externally to the spray module the number of connections is reduced to three, one for the liquid pesticide, one for compressed air and one for a low voltage signal. Internally to the spray module, the low voltage is converted to a high voltage signal, which is, along with the pesticide and the compressed air delivered to one or more electrostatic spray nozzles using only two electrically conductive pipes, a gas delivery pipe and a liquid delivery pipe. The nozzles fit into the gas delivery pipe and draw the compressed air through gas channel openings in the side of the nozzles. The gas delivery pipe doubles as the means to delivery the high voltage signal to the nozzles. Each nozzle has a liquid feed from the liquid delivery pipe, which carries ground voltage, maintaining the liquid at ground voltage. The grounded liquid merges with the compressed air in the nozzles to form an atomized liquid. The atomized liquid then passes through an electrode, which is electrically charged by the high voltage signal to form an electrostatic spray. The electrical charge in the spray leads to better dispersal of the spray due to the droplets in the spray repelling from each other, and further improves the adherenceof the spray to crops which attract the charged droplets.

Title: Method and system for improving network resource utilization in a cellular communication system
Inventor: OSTRUP PETER
IPC: H04W16/32
Filed: 1999-07-13
Granted: 2008-11-25
Abstract: A hierarchically structured cellular network is disclosed. When an active mobile station requests a service that requires the use of a network resource not available in the cell handling the ongoing call (or, alternatively, during call set up), the network checks for cells on the higher levels to determine if the required resource is available. If the resource is available in a higher level cell, the call is handed over to that cell and the resource is allocated to the call. The call can be maintained in the higher level cell until the resource is no longer needed, or a "better" cell capable of providing the required resource is found.

Abstract: Computerized method and system for identifying repeatedly malfunctioning equipment and root causes therefor are provided. The method allows to provide a database (e.g., 220) comprising detailed equipment data including data indicative of historical equipment malfunctions in a plurality of pieces of equipment. The equipment data includes a unique equipment identifier for uniquely relating each malfunction to respective equipment. The method further allows to analyze the data base for a selected time window to review equipment malfunctions logged in the data-base and resulting in servicing activities over that time window. An equipment malfunction threshold for the number of malfunctions occurring during a predetermining period of time is established. The database is configured to automatically issue a report identifying any respective equipment as a repeatedly-malfunctioning-equipment whenever the number of equipment malfunctions resulting in servicing activities over that time window exceeds the equipment malfunction threshold. An input/output device (e.g., 226) is provided to communicate with said database to receive the report from the database. A work order for the repeatedly malfunctioning-equipment is instantiated, wherein the order is configured to remain open at least until service personnel logs comment data into the work order indicative of possible root causes for the repeatedly malfunctioning equipment.
