Patent NO-992088-D0 (NO)
Inventor: O BOEN HO
IPC: C08F4/28
Filed: 1999-04-29
Abstract: A process to make suspensions of thermally labile organic compounds in water is provided. The suspensions comprise at least one polyvinyl alcohol with an average degree of hydrolysis from 60 to 80 % and at least one non-ionic surfactant with an average HLB value from 14.5 to 20.0, and are suitable for use in polymerization processes. The organic compounds in the suspensions preferably have a particle size distribution where the d90 is less than 20  mu m. The particle size distribution of the thermally labile organic compound and the specific ingredients enable the production of chemically as well as physically storage stable suspensions that combine a high compound concentration and a low viscosity. When used in vinyl chloride polymerization processes, the suspensions ensure a low fish eye level and good electrical properties, without adversely affecting the PVC's porosity and bulk density.

Title: Improvements in and relating to telecommunications networks
IPC: H04L45/50
Filed: 2001-04-26
Abstract: A telecommunications network comprising an SDH ring 9 of a plurality of interconnected MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching) enabled network devices 2 (SONET/SDH/WDM multiplexers) is configured to support both central and distributed network/routing protocols. Central management of the network is effected by a central management terminal 1 by means of OSI protocols run over a first data communications network (DCN) 5 of embedded Data Communications Channels (DCCS) 5, 5a. Distributed management of the network is performed by means of MPLS/IP protocols run over a second data communications network (DCN) 6 of embedded Data Communication Channels (DCCS) 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d. The topologies of the two DCNs 5, 6 are different. The central management DCN 5 extends (link 5a) to the central management terminal 1 via an Ethernet interface, whereas the distributively managed DCN 6 is blocked at the interface. Data devices 3, in the form of MPLS enabled switches or routers, are connected to the SDH ring 9. The distributed control DCN 6 extends (links 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) to the data devices 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, whereas the centrally controlled DCN 5 is prevented from extending to the devices 3. Thus an existing legacy optical network may be converted so as to run two DCNs in parallel, the first DCN 5 supporting OSI protocols (in a centrally managed environment) and the second DCN 6 supporting GMPLS (Generalised MPLS) protocols that strictly follow data traffic.

Title: Method and apparatus for laser weldinghoses in an air induction system
IPC: B29C65/16
Filed: 2002-12-12
Abstract: Laser welding is used to attach a polyolefin air induction component to an elastomeric hose member. One of the hose or induction component includes a portion that is made from a transparent material. In one example, the hose includes a hose end portion that is formed from a transparent material. The transparent material is then positioned in an overlapping relationship to a tube received within an opening in the induction component, which acts as an absorbing component. Contour through transmission welding is used to generate a laser beam that passes through the transparent material, heats the absorbing component, which in turn heats the transparent material and forms a laser weld.

Title: A transaction management system & method
IPC: G06Q40/04
Filed: 2003-11-19
Abstract: An electronic transaction management system has at least some sellers associated with agencies. Information is provided for each agency to indicate whether the agency is prepared to offer sellers associated with the agency to buyers associated with other agencies and the terms of any such offer. A buyer interface is used to receive a purchase inquiry from a buyer, and seller offer data is provided to the buyer for a plurality of sellers. The seller offer data presented to the buyer takes into account the terms of said offer of sellers associated with an agency to buyers associated with other agencies. This system allows middlemen to operate in an online spot market. This is achieved by enabling agencies in a market sector to present their buyers and sellers with the agency's own version of such a market but draw on the buyer/seller relationships enjoyed by other agencies using the system. Agencies can operate their own market which is a distinct part of a wider market.

Title: Hip node reachability
Filed: 2007-05-11
Abstract: A method of configuring a plurality of rendezvous servers to provide a Host Identity Protocol, HIP, based mobility service to HIP nodes, where the servers are arranged in a hierarchical branching structure. For each HIP node, a Host Identity Tag, HIT, and contact address mapping is registered with a rendezvous server. That server then identifies itself and the HIT to each higher level server within the same branch, without explicitly identifying the contact address to those higher level servers wherein, in use, when a first rendezvous server receives a HIP contact message addressed to a given HIT, if that first server is unaware of the destination HIT, it forwards the message to a higher level server within the same branch and if the first server is not the server at which the HIT is registered but is aware of the HIT, it forwards the contact message to the neighbouring rendezvous server corresponding to the HIT.

Title: Method and apparatus for capturing information in drawing or writing
IPC: G06V10/12
Filed: 1989-09-08
Abstract: An electrical signal representative of a signature for verification is generated in electrodes of a piezoelectric layer 16, supported by a ridged area 18, by signing on a region 14 over the layer 16. As the tip of a pen 15 crosses the ridges variations in pressure in the layer 16 occur and varying voltages corresponding to ridge crossings are generated. Signals dependent on these varying voltages are used by a programmed integrated circuit 17 in verifying signatures. In other embodiments one or more comb-like electrodes can be used to, in effect, replace the ridges.

Title: Processing paper and other webs
IPC: B41F31/32
Filed: 1990-04-12
Abstract: A printing apparatus has an array of cartridges (40,41,42) for printing a web (2) of e.g. paper passing through the array, and one or more units (48,49) containing printing medium. The cartridges (40,41,42) each are capable of transferring the printing medium from the units(s) (48,49) to the web (2).
