Abstract: A telecommunication network comprises a local switch for receiving and switching a telecommunication signal to remote switches in the network. A  local control arrangement is provided which includes a memory for storing instructions and data and which uses the stored instructions and data to control the switching operation of the local switch. A remote control arrangement is provided which also includes a memory for storing equivalent instructions and data. The remote control arrangement is also adapted to control the switching operation of the local switch and the local switch can be controlled by either the local or the remote control arrangements. A  manager is provided for modifying the instructions and data in the memories of the local and remote control means and modify the instructions and data in either the local or remote control arrangements immediately. A marker is then sent to the other of the local or remote control means to mark the instructions and data as being out of date. The manager can then modify the marked instructions and data at a later date. The switch is arranged to initially request control from the local control arrangement and the marker is checked to determine if the instructions and data in the local control arrangement are up to date. If not, control is passed to the remote control arrangement.

Abstract: A screen assembly particularly adapted to be used in a continuous or batch digester in the production of cellulose (chemical) pulp utilizes a particular screen plate construction that enhances productivity while minimizing blockage of the screen slots (and subsequent non-uniformities in the pulp produced when the screen is blocked). A screen plate having a convex outer surface and concave inner surface (substantially an arc of between 20-60 degrees) is pivotally connected for movement about a vertical axis on one side edge to a frame mounted in the digester. The screen plate has a plurality of slots (e.g. 2-13 mm wide) machined in it, and the screen plate is positioned in the digester so that the inclination angle of the slots relative to the horizontal or vertical is between 30-60 (e.g. about 45) degrees. A plurality of land areas are provided between regions of the slots in screen plate. A plurality of support pins may be connected (e.g. welded) to the screen plate outer surface and extend outwardly from it. The support pins in different land areas are offset from each other and may be disposed in an imaginary straight line that makes an angle substantially the same as the angle of the slots with respect to the horizontal or vertical. Preferably the slots taper outwardly at the outer surface at an angle of between about 10-60 (e.g. about 30) degrees.

Title: Method for making a contactless card with antenna connected with soldered wires
Inventor: LAROCHE DAMIEN
IPC: B42D15/10
Filed: 1998-02-27
Abstract: The invention concerns contactless smart cards. In order to facilitate the fixing of an integrated circuit chip in a contactless smart card, and in particular the chip connection with the antenna incorporated in the card, the method consists in soldering on the chip contact pads (12a, 12b) a gold wire (30) with at least one end projecting above the chip. The wire (30) is preferably soldered while the chip is still part of a semiconductor wafer. The wire can be soldered between two contact pads on a common chip; it can also be soldered between two contact pads of two adjacent chips on the wafer and then sawed during dicing. When the chip is incorporated in the card, it is pressed against the antenna so that the soldered wire is contacted with the coiled or printed antenna feeder end.
