Abstract: Computer architecture and software for computer network communication such that data is at least partially converted between distinct transport protocols in order to optimize transmission of the data, and preferably to allow persistent connections to be maintained across different firewalls. As a preferred embodiment, the transport protocol conversion may cause the data to be converted between HTTP 1.1 protocol, to allow a persistent connection originated across port 80 of a first firewall, and a different protocol, to allow a persistent connection across a second firewall. The protocol conversion of the present invention is especially useful in connection with collaborative application software, wherein the collaborative server and its associated clients are respectively more amenable to different transport protocols.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de production d'un matériau polymère poreux réticulé par polymérisation d'une émulsion à haut rapport de phase interne (HIPR) contenant un agent réticulant. Ce procédé se caractérise par le fait qu'au moins une espèce d'agent réticulant utilisée est un composé présentant un équivalent de double liaison f d'une valeur minimale de 120 g/mol. L'agent réticulant préféré est un composé comprenant une fraction oxyde d'alkylène ou un polymère vinylique contenant au minimum deux doubles liaisons de polymérisation dans l'unité moléculaire. Ainsi, on peut produire un matériau polymère poreux réticulé d'une grande absorbance et d'une grande souplesse, l'émulsion à haut rapport de phase interne (HIPR) pouvant être polymérisée en un temps court, ce qui améliore la productivité.

Abstract: A system of reflectors is used to form a beam-expanding and collimating terminus (20) and coupler (59) for fiberoptic cables and electro-optic transducer devices, including radiation sources and/or detectors. Alignment of optical cores (30) of the fiber-optic cables or the reflector system with a transducer is provided by coupling a magnetic member to the core or reflector system (40) and applying a controllable magnetic field to provide alignment, then fixing the components by the use of light-curable epoxy. A reflector collimator/beam spreader are visually aligned with a source, in addition to or instead of an electrical detector, in order to avoid the need to send a signal through the system to a detector when aligning components. Reflections at an air-to-solid interface in a multiple reflector optical device are suppressed by giving the output surface of the device a sligthly curved surface to deflect the reflections away from the optical axis (77).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé (1100) permettant de réaliser un transfert intercellulaire souple dans un système de média (701) en continu mobile, et un procédé permettant de réaliser un transfert intercellulaire avec coupure dans un système de média en continu mobile. Dans le mode de réalisation relatif au transfert intercellulaire souple, selon l'invention, la qualité de canal entre un client mobile (902) et une première station de base (904) reste supérieure à un seuil de coupure et la qualité de canal entre le client mobile et une seconde station de base (906) augmente et passe au-dessus d'un seuil d'adjonction. Dans ce mode de réalisation, un premier train de bits de description multiple (D0) est ensuite envoyé de la première station de base au client mobile et un second train de bits de description multiple complémentaire (D1) est envoyé de la seconde station de base au client mobile. Ce procédé permet ainsi une meilleure exploitation de la largeur de bande sans fil pendant les transferts intercellulaires souples, contrairement aux système classiques dans lesquels le même train de bits est transmis à partir de chaque station de base. Dans les deux cas de transferts intercellulaires souples et avec coupure, lorsqu'un client mobile entre dans une cellule dont la station de base n'a aucune capacité disponible, la station de base peut empêcher la coupure de communication en réduisant le nombre de descriptions servies aux clients existants, fournissant ainsi de la capacité (au moins une description) au nouveau client. Ces procédés offrent une meilleure exploitation de largeur de bande sans fil pendant les transferts intercellulaires souples, et une probabilité réduite de coupure de service lors des transferts intercellulaires souples et avec coupure.
