Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés de fabrication d'une membrane à inversion de phase microporeuse, renforcée, et à trois zones présentant une grosseur de pores choisie parmi plusieurs grosseurs de pores différentes dans l'une quelconque des trois zones, à partir d'un seul lot de pâte mère. Les systèmes et les procédés consistent à formuler un seul lot de pâte mère dans une cuve maximisant, de préférence, le rapport de non-solvant/solvant pour un pourcentage en poids donné de polymère destiné à être utilisé dans une opération de production de membrane microporeuse à inversion de phase pour produire des membranes à inversion de phase à trois zones présentant une des différentes grosseurs de pores prédéterminées dans l'une quelconque des trois zones, voire dans les trois zones. Le lot de pâte mère est formulé de manière régulée dans une cuve au moins de manière que la température de la pâte ne dépasse pas une température de mélange maximale prédéterminée et il est maintenu à une température relativement basse (inférieure à la température de mélange) permettant le stockage. Une petite partie de la pâte issue du lot de pâte mère est ensuite chauffée à une température non supérieure à n'importe laquelle des températures cibles, dans un appareil de manipulation thermique, la température cible correspondant à une grosseur de pore spécifique voulue que l'on souhaite former dans une zone au moins de la membrane microporeuse à inversion de phase obtenue au terme d'opérations réalisées au niveau d'un site de traitement de la pâte. La pâte est ensuite refroidie environ à température ambiante ou à la température permettant d'obtenir une viscosité de revêtement appropriée et/ou optimale. Un appareil d'application de la pâte au moins est relié à l'appareil de manipulation thermique de manière que l'une des pâtes au moins permettant de produire des grosseurs de pores différentes et sortant de l'appareil de manipulation thermique soit transportée vers le site de traitement de la pâte avant d'être appliquée sur l'une quelconque des trois zones que comporte la membrane microporeuse renforcée à trois zones en cours de production.

Title: Method and apparatus for satellite positioning system (sps) time measurement
Inventor: KRASNER NORMAN

Granted: 2008-07-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring time related to satellite data messages which are used with satellite positioning systems (SPS). In one method, a first record of at least a portion of a satellite data message is received at an entity, which is typically a basestation. The first record is compared with a second record of the satellite data message, where the first record and the second record overlap at least partially in time. Then a time is determined from this comparison, and this time indicates when the first record (or the source from which the first record was obtained) was received at a remote entity which is typically a mobile SPS receiver. Various other methods of the invention are described and various apparatuses of the invention are also described. The methods and apparatuses measure time of day using SPS signals without reading the satellite data messages which are transmitted as data within these signals. The methods and apparatuses are suitable for situations in which the received signal level is too weak to allow reading of the satellite data messages.

Abstract: A windowing mechanism for processing an OFDM symbol is presented. The windowing mechanism applies an apodizing window function having the property Wj+W(FFTSize/2 +j)=constant, where FFTSize is the size of the FFT sample, to a received OFDM symbol sample and a time-offset version of the OFDM symbol sample to produce sets of windowed values. The time-offset sample is offset from the original symbol by one half the symbol period. The time-offset windowed sample is shifted into realignment with the windowed original symbol. Corresponding ones of the windowed values are summed together to restore the windowed symbol to its original form.

Abstract: A method of interleaving data for transmission is provided wherein first and second interleaving patterns for arranging data symbols in a source data stream into first and second transmitted data streams are selected. Each of said data symbols has at least one bit. The first and second transmitted data streams are transmitted substantially simultaneously on separate transmission channels to at least one receiver. The first and second patterns are used to transmit the data symbols in the source data stream in a different order on the respective transmission channels to maximize recovery of the source data stream when the transmission channels are blocked. The selected interleaving patterns can involve reordering the data symbols throughout the first and second transmitted data streams using different reordering criteria. The reordering criteria can vary on a frame-by-frame basis if the source data stream is time division multiplexed. Complementary data can be sent on respective transmission channels.

Abstract: A system rapidly rasterizes high resolution shapes, such as outline fonts, for use in a lower resolution pixel image. For individual pixels a line coverage value is determined for each of at least two sampling lines running in different directions, such as at right angles, within the pixel. The pixel's line coverage value for each line is a function of the degree to which the line is covered by any shapes within the pixel. Then a coverage value is determined for the pixel, itself, as a non-linear function of it's one or more line coverage values running in each of the different directions. Commonly the non-linear function causes the pixel's coverage value to vary more rapidly with variations in the line coverage value of that one of its sampling line which is closest to being half covered within the pixel. Such rasterization can be performed even more rapidly by using two passes, a first which calculates a pixel coverage value for all pixels as a function of the coverage within each pixel of one or more lines of the first set of parallel lines which run in a first direction, and a second pass which varies the pixel coverage value set in the first pass only if there is an intersection between the outline of a shape being rendered and a one or more lines of the second set of parallel lines which run in a second direction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of making purified monotertiarybutyl hydroquinone containing less than 0.2% (wt.) of 2,5 ditertiarybutyl hydroquinone. This method includes heating a composition of monotertiarybutyl hydroquinone and 2,5 ditertiarybutyl hydroquinone in a solvent mixture of a polar solvent and a non-polar solvent. During this step, the non-polar solvent is substantially stripped-off and at least part of the 2,5 ditertiarybutyl hydroquinone is solidified, which is separated from the non-solidified composition. The remaining non-solidified composition and polar solvent are mixed with a non-polar solvent of the same type as was previously stripped-off. The polar solvent, which contains the purified monotertiarybutyl hydroquinone, is separated from the non-polar solvent. This purified monotertiarybutyl hydroquinone is separated the from the polar solvent to produce purified monotertiarybutyl hydroquinone containing less than 0.2% (wt.) of 2,5 ditertiarybutyl hydroquinone.

Abstract: A system and method of frame protocol classification and processing in a system for data processing (e.g., switching or routing data packets or frames). The present invention includes analyzing a portion of the frame according to predetermined tests, then storing key characteristics of the packet for use in subsequent processing of the frame. The key characteristics for the frame (or input information unit) include the type of layer 3 protocol used in the frame, the layer 2 encapsulation technique, the starting instruction address, flags indicating whether the frame uses a virtual local area network, and the identity of the data flow to which the frame belongs. Much of the analysis is preferably done using hardware so that it can be completed quickly and in a uniform time period. The stored characteristics of the frame are then used by the network processing complex in its processing of the frame. The processor is preconditioned with a starting instruction address and the location of the beginning of the layer 3 header as well as flags for the type of frame. That is, the instruction address or code entry point is used by the processor to start processing for a frame at the right place, based on the type of frame. Additional instruction addresses can be stacked and used sequentially at branches to avoid additional tests and branching instructions. Additionally, frames comprising a data flow can be processed and forwarded in the same order in which they are received.
