Abstract: One aspect of the invention provides a method for enhancing speech output by an electro- acoustical transducer in a noisy listening environment. In some embodiments, this method includes: filtering an input audio signal x( t)  using a filter H( z ) to produce a filtered audio signal  x ( t ) formula (I), wherein  x ( t ) formula (I) - H( z )x(t); providing to an electro-acoustical transducer a signal corresponding to the filtered audio signal x( t ) formula (I) to produce a sound wave corresponding to the filtered audio signal; and prior to filtering the audio signal using the filter, configuring the filter such that, with respect to one or more frequencies, the filtered audio signal has a higher signal level than the input audio signal, and such that the overall signal level of the filtered audio signal ( sl 
   f   ) is substantially related to the overall signal level of the input signal ( sl 
   r   ) such that si/ =  sl 
 /  x c.

Abstract: A blood flow blocking catheter, comprises: a puncture needle component having a puncture needle capable of puncturing a vein; and a sheath that covers said puncture needle component, and a balloon catheter that can be inserted into and removed from a lumen of the puncture needle component and has at its distal end a balloon that can block off blood flow. With the present invention, a balloon catheter can be easily inserted into a vein, and the balloon inflated, without making a large incision in the vein. Therefore, the temporary obstruction of blood flow with a balloon catheter can be carried out more easily, and this simplifies the surgery and makes it less invasive. Thus, it is possible to obtain a blood flow blocking catheter with which vascular anastomosis can be performed more safely and in less time.

Abstract: Proper function and security of a complex network for communicating data within a process control system may be manually or automatically "locked-down" with a single command for an entire process control network or portions of the network. A user or application monitors network communication over multiple network devices. Once the network is configured and properly communicates data over the process control network, the application may lock down the network by deactivating or "locking out" access points on the network that are open and unused or have invalid connections. Locking down the network may essentially freeze it in a properly configured and functioning state and restrict future reconfiguration of the network devices or harmful communication over an open or unused access point. When locked, if a currently connected device is unplugged and a different device is plugged into the access point, the network device may refuse the connection.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une méthode de positionnement de trois miroirs translatables dans un dispositif comportant trois cavités laser en anneau. Chacune des trois cavités laser comporte un milieu amplificateur optique pouvant être excité de sorte à générer des ondes lumineuses. Chacune des trois cavités laser comporte également une cavité optique formée par un ensemble de miroirs incluant deux des miroirs translatables, la longueur de ladite cavité optique dépendant de la position des deux dits miroirs translatables, les deux dits miroirs translatables pouvant être déplacés dans des plages de positions conférant à la cavité optique des longueurs pour lesquelles le milieu amplificateur génère au moins une onde laser. Chacun des trois miroirs translatables entre dans la formation de deux des trois cavités optiques. La méthode comporte une phase de pré-positionnement des trois miroirs à un triplet initial de positions respectives prédéterminées. La méthode comporte également une phase de déplacement en translation des trois miroirs simultanément dans des plages ayant une même amplitude inférieure ou égale à l'intermode de la cavité optique ayant le plus grand intermode, de sorte à assurer que chacune des cavités optiques passe par une longueur pour laquelle le milieu amplificateur offre un gain maximum. Les intensités des ondes laser parcourant respectivement chacune des cavités optiques sont mesurées pour chaque triplet de positions occupées par les miroirs. La méthode comporte également une phase de détermination, à partir des trois triplets de positions des miroirs ayant permis respectivement à chacune des trois cavités de fournir une intensité maximale, de la longueur de chacune des trois cavités pour laquelle ladite cavité fournit une intensité maximale. La méthode comporte également une phase de détermination d'un unique triplet final de positions des miroirs permettant de conférer simultanément aux trois cavités les longueurs pour lesquelles elles fourni

Title: Procédé permettant de transporter des données sur une connexion de données, et composant de réseau
Inventor: SIEMENS EDUARD
IPC: H04L1/16
Filed: 2009-03-26
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de transporter des données sur une connexion de données entre un composant de réseau de transmission (1) et un composant de réseau de réception (3) via un réseau (5); et elle concerne également un composant de réseau (3). Le procédé résout un problème lié à la fiabilité du protocole de transport de données, selon lequel un message d’accusé de réception d’un certain nombre de paquets de transport de données doit être émis à des intervalles de temps réguliers. Lorsque ce message d'accusé de réception est perdu, le composant du réseau de transmission doit conserver les données en vue de la retransmission, et ne peut donc pas libérer son tampon de transmission. La présente invention propose de répéter ce message d'accusé de réception par mesure de précaution dans l'éventualité où il se perdrait après une courte période de temps. Le moment prévu pour la répétition est défini de façon à être inférieur à un RTT (Round Trip Time, en anglais - temps de propagation en boucle). La solution n’envisage donc pas qu’une déclaration de non-réception du message d'accusé de réception ne soit pas envoyée au receveur avant que le RTT ne soit écoulé. Pour des connexions longue distance dans des réseaux à large bande, où il existe des valeurs RTT élevées, l’avantage de cette solution est qu’elle permet d’éviter des retards significatifs dans le transport de données de transmission, ou des retransmissions inutiles d'une quantité significative de données.
