Patent EP-2195168-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TOMLIN MATTHEW
IPC: B41J2/175
Filed: 2008-10-09
Abstract: A method for measuring the volume of liquid, such as ink or solvent, remaining in a container, such as a replacement cartridge for a continuous ink jet printer, uses a reservoir enclosing an internal space having a variable volume for storage. The reservoir is adapted to provide a reduction in the pressure of the internal space, the reduction substantially monotonically increasing in magnitude as liquid is drawn into the printer, such that the volume of liquid remaining may be calculated from knowledge of the minimum withdrawal pressure required to draw further liquid from the reservoir into the printer. Containers for use with the method have a liquid dispensing port adapted to allow liquid to be dispensed when a withdrawal pressure at the exterior of the port is less than the pressure of the internal space and adapted to prevent the ingress of air into the internal space of the reservoir as liquid is dispensed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing lactic acid polymers of highly crystallinity and molecular weight, the process comprising melt polymerization of a lactide to form prepolymers having active end groups followed by solid state polymerization. The polymerization is carried out in the presence of a catalyst complex comprising a lactide, an organic metal-oxo compound and a lactic acid oligomer. The residual lactide after the melt polymerization is removed by heating the reaction mixture in the temperature range of 98°C to a temperature less than the melting point of the prepolymer. The metal to oligomer ratio in the catalyst complex is in the range of 0.1 to 10, preferably in the range of 0.5 to 5, more preferably in the range of 0.8 to 1.5

Title: Fibres filaments de fibres lyocell et câble pour pneu à base de cellulose
Inventor: KIM GI-WOONG
IPC: D01F2/00
Filed: 2008-09-08
Abstract: L'invention concerne des fibres filaments de fibres Lyocell et un câble pour pneu à base de cellulose, et en particulier des fibres filaments de fibres Lyocell dont l'anisotropie de gonflement, spécifiée dans la description, est comprise entre 1.1 et 1.4. L'invention concerne, de plus, un câble pour pneu à base de cellulose dont l'anisotropie de gonflement est comprise entre 1.1 et 1.4. Selon l'invention, de manière avantageuse, l'association des fibres filaments de fibres Lyocell avec le câble pour pneu à base de cellulose, dont la stabilité dimensionnelle, dans des conditions très humides, est particulièrement bonne, permet une amélioration de la ténacité, de l'allongement et du module par rapport à des fibres à base de cellulose classiques, telles que la rayonne et analogues. Ainsi, le taux de conservation des propriétés lors du processus post-fabrication est élevé et la faculté de mise en oeuvre est également améliorée.

Title: Amélioration du protocole rsvp-te pour l'optimisation de la bande passante mpls-frr
Inventor: XU ZHUO
IPC: H04L45/28
Filed: 2008-07-31
Abstract: L'amélioration du protocole RSVP-TE pour l'optimisation de la bande passante MPLS-FRR est une méthode d'amélioration du protocole RSVP-TE destinée à optimiser des ressources de réseau lorsque le FRR protège un trafic LSP dans une topologie où le tunnel LSP de dérivation traverse le(s) saut(s) précédent(s) intial (initiaux) du LSP protégé. L'idée de base est d'améliorer le protocole RSVP-TE de telle sorte que le nœud fournissant la protection FRR, le nœud PLR, dans une topologie telle que le trafic est renvoyé vers le chemin initial dans le tunnel de dérivation, utilise le message amélioré TLV pour rendre compte aux nœuds tout au long du chemin de retour vers le nœud HE. Le(s) nœud(s) présent(s) sur le chemin de retour avant le nœud PLR, peu(ven)t vérifier s'il existe un autre tunnel de dérivation meilleur à utiliser pour fournir le FRR dans une perspective d'optimisation des ressources du réseau (telle qu'une utilisation du tunnel de dérivation à partir du nœud HE, dans une topologie en anneau, destinée à réduire le trafic dans l'anneau). Un premier nœud de l'anneau sert de nœud HE. Des paquets de données actuellement envoyés du nœud HE au nœud TE suivent généralement un chemin préétabli, saut par saut, pour atteindre la destination finale au niveau du nœud TE. Toutefois, lorsqu'une défaillance de liaison survient au cours de la transmission des paquets de données, le nœud du point de réparation locale (PLR) met en œuvre une protection FRR par l'intermédiaire du tunnel de dérivation. Les paquets de données voyagent dans le tunnel de dérivation et retournent saut par saut au nœud HE et reprennent le chemin inverse de l'anneau en direction du nœud TE. Les messages TLV empêchent des paquets de données subséquents d'avoir à emprunter le même chemin que les paquets de données initiaux, ce qui améliore l'efficacité de la bande passante. Les messages TLV permettent à des paquets de données subséquents en cours d'envoi du nœud HE au nœud TE d'utiliser le tunnel de dérivation du nœud HE directement plutôt que de passer par le nœud PLR puis de revenir par le même chemin précédemment emprunté avant de se diriger vers le nœud TE. Le protocole RSVP-TE amélioré de l'invention présente plusieurs nouveaux TLV dans un message PathErr (notification de réparation locale), un message RESV (arrêt d'envoi de rafraîchissement) et un message ResvErr (abandon de détour). Lorsque le nœud HE du LSP protégé reçoit les TLV du message PathErr, il commute pour utiliser son tunnel de dérivation local afin d'envoyer du trafic dans le sens opposé de son anneau. A partir de ce moment, le nœud HE utilise son tunnel de dérivation pour envoyer le trafic du LSP protégé au nœud TE. Le nœud TE notifie également le PLR initial en envoyant dans le message ResvErr un autre nouveau TLV indiquant qu'une meilleure dérivation a été trouvée, le détour a été abandonné, et le PLR initial cesse de rafraîchir le LSP par le tunnel et cesse d'envoyer le message PathErr au nœud HE.

Abstract: A method for transmitting a packet from a transmitter to a receiver in a wireless communication system begins by building a packet by a transport format combination (TFC) selection process, and the packet is transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver. If the transmitter receives an indication that the packet was not successfully received at the receiver, the packet is retransmitted via a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) procedure. If the HARQ procedure did not successfully transmit the packet, then the packet is retransmitted via a retransmission management (RM) procedure. If the RM procedure did not successfully transmit the packet, then the packet is discarded by the transmitter.
