Abstract: A method and apparatus for reassembling packets using a limited number of reassembly contexts is presented. Upon receipt of a first cell of a packet corresponding to a selected source, a reassembly context is allocated to the selected source. The reassembly context is allocated from a limited set of reassembly contexts. The first cell is then stored in a buffer and the reassembly context is updated to reflect the storage of the first cell in the buffer. As subsequent cells of the packet are received they are stored in the buffer and the reassembly context is updated to reflect the storage of each of these subsequent cells. When an end of message cell is received for the packet that indicates the end of the packet, reassembly of the packet within the buffer is completed to produce a reassembled packet. The reassembled packet is then queued for transmission to a destination, and the reassembly context is deallocated such that is can be used for reassembly of a subsequently received packet. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A clutch arrangement for rapid disengagement of two elements in a transmission system when a chosen torque is exceeded. The first element is a conical shaft end that carries a corresponding sleeve which, in turn, carries externally at its ends two mutually separated ball bearings with a force transmission ring disposed therebetween. The second element, an annular force transmission body, surrounds and is carried by the ball bearings and includes a pressurisable hydraulic chamber which, when pressurised, causes a reduction in the inner surface diameter of the body so that the body is brought into force transmitting engagement with the outer surface of the ring. The sleeve carries a dogging element which is adapted to act on an element carried by the body for depressurising the hydraulic chamber upon relative rotation between the body and the sleeve such that, when the chosen torque is exceeded resulting in the relative rotation, the chamber is depressurised, and the ring and the body pass free from each other.

Abstract: Measurement of orientation of a mobile in space, for example the heading of a ship with the aid of receivers of satellite-based radio positioning signals. To obtain a measurement of orientation very rapidly, use is made of two reception antennas located at two points A and B whose distance D is known. First, n successive calculations of position of the point A with respect to the point B (for example a dozen successive calculations if the distance D is 40 centimeters) are performed based on a single set of 2p pseudo-distances measured between each antenna and p satellites. The n calculations correspond to n initial estimated positions serving as starting assumptions for the calculation. The n estimated positions are situated on a circle with center B and radius D. The calculated positions are situated at distances from the point B. A position is selected representing a true position of the point A while verifying that this position is on the circle with center B and radius D to within a few millimeters. The selection may possibly be improved by verifying the consistency of the measurement.

Abstract: Topical application of a solution of the antimicrobial chlorhexidine to teeth, particularly including exposed root surfaces, prevents the destruction of exposed cementum and associated exposed enamel at the cementum-enamel junction on tooth root surfaces (root caries) and the inflammation of the gingival tissue. In a method of use, a topical solution containing 10% (w/v) chlorhexidine, 20% (w/v) Sumatra benzoin, and 70% (w/v) ethanol is applied to the appropriate area of the tooth surface, followed immediately by application of a sealant which is a solution containing 29% (w/v) medical-grade polyurethane in 49% (w/v) acetone and 22% (w/v) ethyl acetate. Application of the chlorhexidine and sealant to the tooth cementum and gingival margin of "at risk" older adult patients has significantly reduced the prevalence and incidence of root caries and gingival inflammation.

Abstract: A method/system for estimating cell rate is provided. The cell rate to be reported to an ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) source may be estimated using a previously calculated cell rate parameter weighted in a manner dependent upon whether a rate for the connection is high or low. An averaging parameter may be adjusted for each calculation so that for low rate connections newly measured data is more heavily weighted, and for high rate connections newly measured data is less heavily weighted. Relatively accurate and quick estimates for both high bandwidth and low bandwidth connections are achievable.
