Inventor: SAGEY RICHARD W
IPC: G06F3/0481
Filed: 2003-02-18
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system for providing a home network console.
In a first aspect the network console provides device information for physical devices
within a network. The network console is non-hierarchical in as much as all the
devices within the network are indicated in a single level, thus a user does not have to
click through multiple levels to access devices. In a further aspect, a network console
system includes agents capable of communicating device information to the network
console. Inclusion of an agent in an individual device allows for dynamic updating of
device information including assisting in the connection of a new device to the
network, furthermore the device agent is capable of communicating device
information related to supportable network activities.

Abstract: An electric blower employed in a vacuum cleaner for
creating a suction air stream in order to collect dust
particles reduces level of noise heard by the operator, by
reducing flow resistance in the vacuum cleaner, facilitated
by the limiting the volume thereof to about 20% of that of
the main body of the vacuum cleaner. Moreover, by limiting
the volume of the blower, dust storage capacity can be
expanded without having to significantly change the
dimensions of the main body used by a convention vacuum
cleaner. Thus providing greater comfort and convenience to
the operator.

Abstract: A catheter with proximal and distal ends having a spiral centering device attached near the catheter distal end. The spiral centering device has at least one spiral strut having a proximal end and a distal end. The spiral centering device resiliently tends to center the distal end portion of the catheter, steering the catheter away from the vessel wall during insertion through the vasculature and toward the treatment site.

The core may include a buffer region between the shell and the API-containing portion of the core. The dosage form may include multiple units. The dosage form of the invention is capable of providing a release profile whose time scale can be adjusted by adjusting powder composition, and which may be approximately zero-order release.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de contrôler l'état d'un ou de plusieurs éléments de réseau (NE) (2 à 6) reliés les uns aux autres dans un réseau de télécommunication (1). Ce procédé consiste à recevoir une notification d'état d'indisponibilité en provenance d'un NE du réseau (1), à identifier un ou plusieurs autres NE reliés à ce NE et à interroger ce ou chaque autre NE pour déterminer leur état. Un NE peut être en état opérationnel, c'est-à-dire de disponibilité, ou non opérationnel, c'est-à-dire d'indisponibilité. Une notification d'état d'indisponibilité peut être reçue d'un NE si ce NE détermine que n'importe quel autre NE relié à celui-ci est en état d'indisponibilité. Cette notification d'état d'indisponibilité peut contenir des informations sur le NE à l'origine de la notification. L'identification du ou de chaque autre NE peut consister à accéder à la notification d'état d'indisponibilité pour obtenir des informations sur le NE à l'origine de cette notification, puis à utiliser ces informations pour obtenir l'identification du ou de chaque autre NE. L'interrogation du ou de chaque autre NE peut consister à envoyer au moins une demande d'obtention de SNMP au NE. Le procédé selon l'invention peut être mis en oeuvre au moyen d'un système de gestion de réseau (NMS) (7) du réseau (1).

Inventor: VACCARO THOMAS R
IPC: G01S7/02
Filed: 2003-12-17
Abstract: A system is provided for assisting in the detection and tracking of narrowband signals arriving at an antenna array operating over a wide detection bandwidth and in a crowded RF environment. Since the nature of the detection mission is constrained to be a general search, the system does not attempt to detect signals of interest via matched filtering mechanisms (i.e. training sets), but exploits general properties such as power, frequency, time and angle of arrival. For the purposes of providing sufficient Frequency/Time resolution as well as to avoid array overloading in the detection process, the digitized wideband streaming data is frequency channelized using a sufficiently high revisit rate for the signal set of interest, constrained by the required feature detection accuracy or environment adaption rates. Within each frequency subchannel, efficient array signal subspace tracking techniques are used to separate and track spatially separated cochannel signals. Subspace tracking allows the efficient update of the signal subspace, useful for direction finding and copy applications, as well as determining the number of signals present in a frequency channel. Since the frequency channelization of the detection system may not match that of the detected signal, the combination of Time/Frequency/Space information is used to cluster or group frequency subchannels and provide a higher degree of signal detection capability with an increased robustness against false signal detections.

Abstract: A steer-by-wire steering apparatus for a vehicle has a first control
system including a first ECU (310), and a second control system
including a second ECU (320). Each ECU responds to manipulation of the
steering wheel (140) by a driver, and controls a steering motor
(211,212). The first ECU determines whether the second control system is
malfunctioning, and the second ECU determines whether the first system
is malfunctioning. When any of the system is malfunctioning, the ECU of
normally functioning system controls a counter force motor such that
steering wheel receives a counter force that is different from that when
both systems are functioning normally. Accordingly, the steering
apparatus is capable of fast and reliably causing a driver to
realize a malfunction in the steering apparatus.
