Filed: 2002-05-17
Abstract: The invention relates to the sulfonyl esters of the general formula R1-COO-SO2-Z-R2, wherein Z, R1 and R2 are defined as in claim 1. The invention further relates to the use of one of the inventive compounds for modifying the kinetics of the enzymatic effect of catalase. A method for measuring a concentration in living and/or active microorganisms in a liquid sample (3) by means of the development of oxygen from hydrogen peroxide is also based on the above-mentioned modification. An inventive compound is admixed in a container (1) to the sample, said compound inactivates the enzymatic effect of endogenous catalase without substantially inactivating the enzymatic effect of the intracellular catalase of microorganisms. Hydrogen peroxide is added and immediately afterwards the pressure present in the sample container is briefly equalized with the atmosphere, the container is closed in a gas-tight manner (2) during a predetermined reaction time and the pressure in the container is measured (9, 10, 11). The pressure measured and the data regarding the microorganisms and the sample dilution are used to calculate (22) the concentration of living and/or active microorganism in the sample and the concentration is optionally displayed (24). The invention further relates to a device for carrying out the inventive method.

Title: Controlling multiple nodes to execute messages only once, which are divided into groups, or using snmp, or a combination thereof
Inventor: ESMAEILI JAVAD M
IPC: H04L45/16
Filed: 2002-08-15
Abstract: A broadcast satellite network (200) transmits from a source (201) to multipl e router nodes (230) digital real-time program information and best-effort dat a. The router nodes are specifically suited for extracting best-effort data streams from the multiplexed signal received via, e.g., a satellite. A numbe r of management techniques are disclosed. According to one technique, a packet (150) is formed having a network layer header (152), including a destination address for routing a packet to a destination, a second header identifying a syntax and semantic by which a payload of the packet may be parsed in a predefined fashion (156), and a payload (158) containing a command to be executed by each of one or more to-be-managed nodes (230) to which the packe t is destined. The packet is transmitted a plural amount of times to a plurali ty of nodes, including the one or more to-be-managed nodes, but the command in the particular packet is executed only a single time. According to other techniques, the nodes (230) are divided into groups. In one technique, a unique identifier is assigned to each group and the packet containing the command contains the identifier. The packet is transmitted once but received by all nodes, including the group of nodes to which the same identifier was assigned. Only thosenodes of the group with the same identifier execute the command. According to another embodiment, a manager node (212) maintains a list of the addresses of all nodes in a group and automatically transmits th e packet once to each address, thereby enabling automatic communication of the same packet to multiple nodes.

Abstract: A heat sink for use with luminaires can be tightened securely against a lamp socket and can be loosened to allow the lamp socket to be rotated. The heat sink also contacts preferably an endplate or other structure of the luminaire having a preferably large amount of exterior surface area. Heat is drawn away from the lamp socket and interior of the luminaire via the heat sink to the endplate or other structure, where the heat is dissipated via convection into the surrounding air. By using another structure of the luminaire having a relatively large amount of surface area, the heat sink advantageously need not be large or bulky.
