Patent EP-1037496-A1 (EP)
Inventor: PETTY NORMAN W
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-02-15
Abstract: A computationally-efficient traffic shaper replaces per-virtual-circuit
shaping queues that all must be processed during each cell-emission
period, with a sequence (130) of shaping queues (131) shared
by a plurality of virtual circuits and only one of which must be processed
during each cell-emission period. N shaping queues are used, where N is
the maximum cell delay effected by the traffic shaper divided by the cell
emission period; for constant-bit-rate narrowband virtual circuits, N is 47.
Each virtual circuit is assigned one or more of the shaping queues, spaced
evenly in the sequence, as its serving queues, proportionally to its size. A
dequeue state machine (141) cyclically transmits the contents of a current
one of the shaping queues during each period. Per-virtual-circuit
instances of an enqueue state machine (140) each enqueue received
ATM cells of its corresponding virtual circuit. If the cell arrives on time, it is
enqueued in the current queue which is one of the virtual circuit's serving
queues. If the cell arrives early, it is enqueued in the virtual circuit's next
serving queue. If the cell arrives late, it is enqueued in the current queue,
and designation of all of the virtual circuit's serving queues is shifted an
equal amount in the sequence so that the current queue becomes one of
the virtual circuit's new serving queues. For variable-bit-rate virtual
circuits, an additional overflow queue is used to temporarily hold
overflow received cells until the dequeuing makes room for them in the
shaping queues.

Abstract: Silica sols exhibiting desirable yield-dilatancy are fabricated. A
mixture comprising silica, water, and a pH-adjusting agent is provided,
and the mixture is shear-mixed. The desirable properties of the
resultant sol are attained by using a concentration of pH-adjusting agent
that provides a viscosity within a particular range during shear mixing.
The requisite pH range, however, changes depending on the properties of
the silica mixture. A discovered technique for determining this changing
pH range is by selecting the pH based on the silica surface area per unit
volume of the mixture.

Abstract: A multi-wavelength etalon comprises at least two regions (38,39) with different
indices of refraction (r 1 ,r 2 ). The change in refractive index alters the wavelengths of incident
light as it enters the etalon, and thus the number of wavelengths between the reflective
surfaces of the etalon, and therefore the etalon's transmission characteristics. By
selecting specific indices of refraction, an etalon can be provided which produces peaks
and troughs at preselected wavelengths in each region. The transition between two
adjacent regions with different indices of refraction can be graded to reduce optical
interference which may result from an abrupt transition.

Abstract: A method of controlling a static power switch device located along an electric line (7, 10) defining an inductive load (Li) between a supply source (3) and at least one electric load (C1, C2, C3, Ci, .., Cn). The switch device has a main semiconductor switch (14) which is opened (14) to supply a capacitor (17) with at least part of the load current carried by the main switch. An auxiliary switch then performs one or more closing/opening cycles to connect a resistor (23) in parallel with the capacitor (17) and perform one or more discharge cycles to discharge the energy supplied to the capacitor following the opening of the main switch. Each discharge cycle prevents the voltage in the capacitor from increasing; during each discharge cycle, the voltage in the capacitor is reduced; and the voltage in the capacitor is applied to the main switch, which is thus protected against overvoltages.

Abstract: A memory alias adapter, coupled to a processor's memory bus, monitors processor memory accesses. Whenever a memory access corresponds to shared memory, rather than memory local to the processor, the adapter constructs a memory request message, and transmits the message over a network link to a shared memory unit. The shared memory unit performs the shared memory access and issues a response message over the network link. The memory alias adapter accepts the response message, and completes processor's memory access on the memory bus. As a result, it is transparent to the processor whether its memory access is to the local memory or to the shared memory.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une transformation par bloc de reconstruction M x M parfaite sans multiplicateur (c'est-à-dire, la reconstruction parfaite est obtenue si l'invention est employée à des fins d'analyse aussi bien que de synthèse car si l'invention est uniquement employée à une des fins, une reconstruction presque parfaite en résulte) doté de fonctions de base symétriques/asymétriques, c'est-à-dire des filtres à phase linéaire. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, une cascade de ±1 étage papillon (12) est fournie suivie par deux matrices réversibles. Chaque matrice inversable est constituée d'une cascade d'étapes de relèvement (16) et des facteurs de cadrage (αi). Les facteurs de cadrage peuvent être intégrés dans les durées de quantification. Un procédé binDCT avant (par exemple, pour l'analyse de signaux), peut être implémenté à l'aide d'une cascade de ±1 papillon (12) et des étapes de relèvement diadiques (16). Un procédé binDCT inverse (par exemple, pour l'analyse de signaux) peut en outre aisément s'obtenir à l'aide d'étapes de relèvement (16) d'ordre inverse et une polarité inversée, soumis à une cascade de ±1 papillon (12). Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, tous les coefficients de relèvement sont des nombres rationnels diadiques. Chaque étape de relèvement diadique peut être construite par une simple combinaison d'opérations de mouvement et d'addition (shift-and-add).

Abstract: The invention is directed to an expandable stent for implantation in a body lumen, such as an artery. The stent consists of an elongated stent body formed with a central section positioned between a proximal end section and a distal end section, the central section having different expansion characteristics than at least one of the end sections. The end sections of the stent are configured to have greater resistance to radial expansion than the corresponding central section such that, when deployed with a balloon catheter device, the central section of the stent expands to an enlarged final diameter to contact the interior walls of the body lumen before or simultaneously with the end sections. The size and the shape of the U-shaped structures control the expansion characteristics of the respective cylindrical elements. The U-shaped structures which are designed to be more resistant to circumferential deformation are used to form cylindrical elements that have a greater resistance to radial expansion. The cylindrical elements are arranged strategically along the axial length of the stent to form stent sections which cooperate to control radial expansion.

Abstract: An outer sheath layer 3 made of flexible synthetic resin
is formed so as to cover the outer circumferences of a plurality
of synthetic-resin-made strands 2 constituting an outer
circumference portion of a synthetic fiber rope. Segments of
predetermined lengths in the outer sheath layer 3 are formed
so as to be adjacent to each other and differ in color from each
other. 0n the basis of a relationship between the colored
segments and a sheave around which the main cable is wound, the
position of a car in a shaft is assigned to one of the colored
segments in the outer sheath layer 3 beforehand. This realizes
a function equal to that of indices marked on the synthetic fiber
rope. 
     As a result, even after an elevator system has been used
for a long period of time, indices can be identified readily,
thereby preventing difficulty in identifying indices, which would
otherwise be caused by wear due to aging. Hence, there can be
appropriately addressed an operation for rescuing passengers
in an accidentally-stopped elevator car, thereby speeding the
rescue operation.
