IPC: H04L12/14
Filed: 2002-03-20
Abstract: A network architecture (20) in accordance with the present invention includes a communication network that supports one or more network-based Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). The communication network includes a plurality of boundary routers (22a-22d) that are connected by access links to CPE edge routers (24b-24d and 25a-25d) belonging to the one or more VPNs. To prevent traffic from outside a customer's VPN (e.g., traffic from other VPNs or the Internet at large) from degrading the QoS provided to traffic from within the customer's VPN, the present invention gives precedence to intra-VPN traffic over extra-VPN traffic on each customer's access link through access link prioritisation or access link capacity allocation, such that extra-VPN traffic can not interfere with inter-VPN traffic.

Title: Closure system
Inventor: KACIAN DANIEL L
IPC: B01L3/14
Filed: 2002-09-27
Abstract: A closure system (10) useful for storing fluids under cold storage conditions.  The closure system includes cap (40) and container components which combine to form a dual sealing system. The container (20) has a generally cylindrical side wall (21), a closed bottom end (24), and an open top end having an inner beveled lip (25) depending from an annular top rim (26). The cap (40) has a generally circular top wall (41) from which inner and outer skirts (44, 42) depend. The outer skirt (42) is adapted to grip the open top end of the container (20). The inner skirt (44) includes an outer surface (48) having a lower seal bead (50) and an upper beveled portion (49) mated with the beveled lip (25). When the cap (40) is fitted onto the container (20), the seal bead (50) contacts an inner surface (22) of the container and the upper beveled portion (49) and the beveled lip (25) are engaged in an interference fit, thereby impeding the loss of fluid from the closure system under cold storage conditions.

Title: Jet blast resistant vehicle arresting blocks, beds and methods
Inventor: ANGLEY RICHARD D
IPC: E01C9/00
Filed: 2002-09-13
Abstract: Aircraft arresting beds (10) constructed of cellular concrete at ends of runways may be subject to damaging effects of jet blast phenomena. Arresting units resistant to such effects are described. A block of compressible material (12), such as cellular concrete, provides compressive failure characteristics suitable for arresting travel of an aircraft overrunning a runway. A top sheet (14) of relatively thin frangible material positioned above the block (12) provides a stronger, more damage resistant surface, while still readily fracturing in an arresting incident. Intermediate material (16), such as a foam layer, under the top sheet (14) may be included to provide a protective cushioning effect by mitigating transmission of external phenomena forces to the block (12). A wrapping (18), such as polyester net, at least partially enclosing other portions of the arresting unit provides a stable unified composite, without destroying desired compressive failure characteristics of the unit. Arresting units (10) may also include a bottom layer (20) of material stronger than the block of compressible material and a sealant coating with water resistant properties.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant d'extraire une composante de signal d'un signal mesuré, utilisant une méthode choisie parmi deux méthodes au choix. Si la composante du signal est un signal périodique avec une valeur d'intensité de crête à crête bien définie, la méthode consiste à calculer et à analyser les enveloppes supérieure et inférieure pour extraire ladite composante du signal. Cette composante peut également être utilisée pour déterminer un paramètre étudié de l'échantillon. La composante CC du signal définit la valeur médiane de l'enveloppe supérieure et la composante CA définit la valeur médiane de la différence entre les enveloppes supérieure et inférieure. Si la composante du signal est un signal périodique caractérisé par une forme asymétrique spécifique, la méthode consiste à appliquer un filtrage adaptif spécifique au signal mesuré qui permet d'améliorer la composante du signal par rapport à une composante du bruit. Ce filtrage adaptif repose sur une dérivée d'un noyau gaussien comprenant des paramètres spécifiques correspondant aux caractéristiques de la composante du signal.

Abstract: A monitor system capable of monitoring a plurality of vehicles (1) includes a vibration detection unit (15) for detecting vibration of each vehicle (1), a detection time identification unit (20b) for identifying the time when the vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit of each vehicle (1), and an abnormality judgment unit (20a) used when vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit (15) of any vehicle (1) for judging whether the vibration is attributed to robbery backup action performed to the vehicle (1) or the environment where the vehicle is placed. The abnormality judgment unit (20a) performs judgment according to the detection result of the vibration detection unit (15) of each vehicle (1) and specification results by the detection time identification unit (20b). This reduces the possibility of erroneous determination that the vibration not attributed to robbery backup action is a vibration attributed to robbery backup action.
