Abstract: All current legal roadway vehicles have a brake light warning system to indicate when a vehicle is slowing and/or stopping, that is highly visible from the rear of the vehicle, unfortunately there is no such indicator of deceleration visible at the front of the vehicle. Currently it is left up to the judgement of the people in front of the vehicle to decide whether or not the vehicle is actually slowing and/or stopping.  Improper judgement calls in these situations can be directly attributed to the cause of many of the accidents that occur between vehicles and other vehicles, vehicles and pedestrians, vehicles and cyclists, etc. The proposed invention reduces and/or eliminates the need for these frequent judgement calls, by providing for a brake light indicator on the front of the vehicle(s), thereby increasing roadway safety.

Title: Satellite communication system providing multi-gateway diversity to a mobile user terminal
Inventor: MONTE PAUL A
IPC: H04B10/118
Filed: 1999-06-11
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for operating a satellite communications system as well as a method for providing a larger effective gateway coverage area, and a system that operates in accordance with the methods. The methods include steps of (a) establishing a call connection between a terrestrial telecommunications network and a user terminal via a first gateway and at least one satellite; and (b) while the call connection is established, coupling the user terminal to the terrestrial telecommunications network via a second gateway and at least one further satellite. The step of coupling includes a step of conveying call speech or data information between the first gateway and the second gateway over an inter-gateway communications link. By so linking multiple gateways each gateway experiences an increase in its effective coverage area, as an on-going call can be continued even after a user terminal moves from a first gateway's coverage area into a second gateway's coverage area.

Title: Automatic shaft lock
Inventor: CANNALIATO MICHAEL F
IPC: B25B21/00
Filed: 1999-07-09
Abstract: An automatic shaft lock is incorporated into the transmission or drive components of a power driving tool of the type commonly used to tighten or loosen threaded fasteners, for example. The automatic shaft lock operates to prevent an externally-applied rotational back--force or back-torque, such as results from use of the tool to manually tighten or loosen a fastener, from being transmitted all the way through the drive components to the tool's motor or armature shaft. The shaft lock also effectively reduces the amount of back- torque, functioning automatically in either rotational direction, due to being disposed at an intermediate location in the drive train, between an intermediate gear enmeshed for driving rotation with the tool's armature shaft and an output gear enmeshed in a driving relationship with the tool's output shaft.

Title: Method for anchoring joining elements in a material having pores or cavities, as well as joining elements for anchoring
Inventor: AESCHLIMANN MARCEL
IPC: B29C65/08
Filed: 1998-03-19
Abstract: The invention concerns a connecting pin (3.2) with which two parts (1 and 2)-for instance, made of a porous material, particularly of wood or similar wood-like material-can be connected and anchored at predetermined anchoring positions (31, 33) in porous material. For this purpose, a bore (42) with a closed end (41) is placed in parts (1 and 2). The form of this bore (42) is adjusted to the connecting pin (3.2) in such a way that the pin can be guided into the bore without effort and positioned in a first position so that pressure builds up at at least one predetermined anchoring position (31, 33) between the connecting pin (3.2) and the wall of the bore (4.2), if the connecting pin (3.2) is forced with a pressing force (F) into a second position deeper into the bore. Energy is directly focused onto the connecting pin so that the thermoplastic synthetic material of the connecting pin (3.2) is plasticized at the predetermined anchoring positions (31, 32). The locally plasticized synthetic material is pressed into the porous material of the parts by applying the local pressure and forms local, macroscopic anchorings (10, 20). The connecting pin (3.2) consists, for instance, entirely of a thermoplastic synthetic material, and the energy for plasticizing is gained from the input of ultrasonic vibration.

Abstract: A presentation system (50) is disclosed for distributing a performance of a presentation to a plurality of client sites (54) comprising client nodes on a network such as the Internet. The presentation system (50) distributes presentation content data to a plurality of network server nodes, and during a performance of the presentation, the client nodes receiving the presentation determine a particular variation of data presentation to retrieve from the network server nodes. In particular, the retrieval of presentation data depends upon the transmission characteristics of the network such as data transmission rate. Thus, if a low transmission data rate is detected at a first client node, presentation elements of a reduced size can be retrieved. Alternatively, if a higher transmission rate is detected at a second client node, presentation elements of greater size (and corresponding enhanced quality of presentation) can be retrieved. Thus, within a single performance, client network nodes with varying available network bandwidths can be utilized for synchronously performing the presentation.

Filed: 2000-01-25
Abstract: A high-capacity optical fiber network [100, 200] includes wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) within the 1.4 micron (µm) wavelength region (i.e., 1335-nm). Such a system includes optical fiber [130] whose peak loss in the 1.4 µm region is less than its loss at 1310 nm. The optical fiber has a zero dispersion wavelength (.lambda.0) at about 1310 nm, and linear dispersion between about 1.5 and 8.0 ps/nm-km within the 1.4 µm region. At least three WDM channels operate at 10 Gb/s in the 1.4 µm wavelength region and have a channel separation of 100 GHz. In one illustrative embodiment of the invention, a broadcast television channel, having amplitude modulated vestigial sideband modulation, simultaneously operates in the 1.3 µm region (i.e., 1285-1335 nm) and/or the 1.55 µm region (i.e., 1500-1600 nm).  In another embodiment of the invention, 16 digital data channels are multiplexed together in the 1.55 µm region, each channel operating at about 2.5 Gb/s.  Raman amplifiers [103, 113] are used for amplification in the 1.3 µm and the 1.4 µm wavelength regions, whereas an Erbium amplifier [123] is used for amplification in the 1.55 µm wavelength region.

Title: Recovery and recycle of catalyst components used in palladium-catalyzed preparation of arylcarboxylic acids
Inventor: FOCHT GARY D
IPC: C07C59/64
Filed: 1998-10-16
Abstract: Arylcarboxylic acids, especially polycyclic arylcarboxylic acids, are separated from residual catalyst components by use of a phase separation process. This avoids need for use of reduced pressure distillation with its attendant high investment and operating costs. Also, the phase separation process provides an active organic-soluble catalyst residue for reuse via recycle without need for catalyst regeneration. Thus, arylolefin is reacted with carbonmonoxide and water in the presence of palladium catalyst and organophosphine ligand, to form a reaction mass comprising (a) arylcarboxylic acid, and (b) residual catalyst species. The reaction mass is treated with aqueous inorganic base to form (i) an aqueous phase containing dissolved watersoluble salt of the arylcarboxylic acid, and (ii) an organic phase containing dissolved residual catalyst species. The phases are separated, and at least a portion of separated phase (ii) is recycled for use in performing additional reaction. Oftentimes in addition to phases (i) and (ii), a solids phase containing a portion of the palladium catalyst values exists, and preferably, these solids are recovered (e.g., by filtration) and if not sufficiently catalytically active for recycle, at least a portion is converted into an active palladium catalyst component for use in subsequent reaction. The phase separation thus enables separation of catalyst residues in organic solution form and as solids, while concurrently isolating the desired product in water solution form.
