Abstract: The disclosed invention relates to a polymerization process comprising contacting ethylene, and optionally, one or more olefinically unsaturated comonomers, with an active supported Group 3, 4, 5, or 6 metallocene catalyst system having an unsubstituted or substituted fused-ring cyclopentadienyl ligand, preferably indenyl or fluorenyl, and a substituted or unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl ligand under gas-phase or slurry polymerization conditions. The process is suitable for the production of high-density polyethylene homopolymers and copolymers. The benefits to industrial practice are both the ease of preparation and low-cost of the precursor metallocene compound and the commercially feasible polymerization activity levels in stable, low fouling level reactor conditions surprisingly associated with it. Additionally, the polymers made under the invention process conditions have narrow molecular weight distributions, low MI, and low values for MIR.

Abstract: L'invention porte, dans un mode de réalisation préféré, sur une méthode et un dispositif servant à affecter et utiliser des adresses IP sur un réseau de systèmes clients. Plus spécifiquement, cette invention a trait à un routeur contrôlant les affectations d'adresses IP par un serveur DHCP. Au fur et à mesure que les adresses IP sont affectées, le routeur associe l'adresse IP affectée à un identificateur de confiance identifiant le système client. Ensuite, si le routeur a reçu un paquet à l'adresse IP affectée, le routeur transfert le paquet au système client arborant un identificateur de confiance associé à l'adresse de destination du paquet IP. Par ailleurs, si le routeur reçoit un paquet d'un système client, il utilise l'identificateur de confiance du système client pour repérer les adresses IP associées au système client. Si l'adresse source du paquet IP n'est pas comprise dans les adresses IP associées au système client, le paquet est éliminé.

IPC: F01C1/344
Filed: 1997-12-23
Abstract: A method for reducing the exhaust pollution emissions in a two-stroke sliding vane internal combustion engine (20). First, fresh air is inducted into a vane cell (29), and fuel is injected into the cell at an ultra-lean fuel-air equivalence ratio less than about 0.65. The fuel is injected at a location such that a circumferential distance (L) at mid-cell-height (H) to the stator site at the onset of combustion is at least about four times a vane cell height at intake. The ultra-lean fuel-air combination is then compressed and thoroughly premixed prior to combustion to a dimensionless concentration fluctuation fraction below about 0.25. The ultra-lean, thoroughly premixed fuel-air combination is then combusted. The combusted fuel-air combination is purged after an expansion cycle. The premixing step prior to combustion may use inclined airfoils (40) within the intake duct to produce counter-rotating mixing vortices.

Abstract: A link (54), and assembly (12) and instrument
(10) using same, for transmitting actuating forces from
an actuating member (20) to a work member (52). The
link (54) includes a link body (60) having a distal end
and a proximal end. The distal end of the link body is
movably interconnected with the work member (52) by a
distal interconnection element such as an arcuate
groove-and-flange assembly (62, 80), and is inter-connected
at its proximal end to the actuating member
(20) by a proximal pivotal interconnection element (64,
65). The proximal element (64, 65) transmits a first
actuating force (118) from the actuating member (20) to
the work member (52). A shoulder (66), disposed on the
link body (60) preferably between the distal and
proximal elements for interconnecting, engages the
actuating member (20) when a second, greater actuating
force (124) is applied to the actuating member in a
direction opposite to that of the first actuating
force. The greater force (124) is thereby transmitted
fully to the work member (52). The link assembly (12)
preferably includes a spacer member (90) to assist
positioning of the actuating member.

viscosity to a sample solution for enabling it to hinder

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of estimating reception quality and
particularly to a method of adaptively estimating reception quality for a signal
transmitted over a transmission channel. 
     In radio communications systems, e. g. digital cellular radio systems according to the
Global System for Mobile communications (GSM), an estimation of the reception
quality for a signal transmitted over the radio channel is used for many purposes. As
the transmission conditions on the transmission channel my vary strongly due to their
statistical nature, the known methods for estimating the reception quality often do not
provide a satisfactory estimate. 
     The present invention provides an estimate for reception quality of a signal
transmitted over a transmission channel which is adapted to the transmission
channel used for transmission of the signal. It is thus possible to provide an estimate
which is optimised with regard to the transmission conditions.

Title: Revetement reflechissant pour reseaux repetes de diffraction

IPC: G02B1/10
Filed: 1998-01-12
Abstract: L'invention concerne une étape supplémentaire d'un procédé classique de formation de répliques pour les réseaux de diffraction utilisés dans des lasers. Le déposant a découvert que la détérioration d'un réseau répliqué de diffraction, utilisé avec une lumière laser intensive, est accélérée du fait des petites quantités de rayonnement fuyant à travers des fractures minuscules dans la couche réfléchissante en aluminium. Le déposant a identifié la cause du problème comme apparaissant lors du retrait de la réplique du réseau principal. L'amélioration qu'apporte le déposant à ce procédé classique consiste à déposer un mince revêtement réfléchissant en aluminium (34) sur la surface de la réplique (22, 24, 26), une fois la réplique retirée du réseau principal de diffraction et nettoyée. L'application du revêtement est effectuée dans une chambre sous vide par pulvérisation et évaporation. Ce revêtement n'est pas soumis à d'autres forces de destruction ultérieures et reste, par conséquent, relativement opaque. L'épaisseur typique du revêtement est d'environ 100 nm.
