IPC: F01N1/08
Filed: 1997-05-15
Abstract: A silencer, for silencing and purification of exhaust gases,
comprises an air-tight casing (1) connected to an exhaust inlet
pipe (2) and to an exhaust outlet pipe (3) and contains at least two
acoustic compartments (4i,4ii) and one or more monolithic bodies (5) such
as catalysers or particle filters through which exhaust gases
flow in a flow direction in longitudinal channels or porosities,
and one or more pipes or channels (6,7), at least one pipe or
channel penetrating one or more of the monolithic bodies (5) and
guiding exhaust gases in a flow direction which is opposite
to the flow direction in the channels or porosities of the
monolithic body (5), and at least one of the pipes or channels (6,7)
connecting the at least two acoustic compartments (4i,4ii). The
general flow direction is preferably reversed substantially
immediately upstream of a penetrated monolithic body (5) and
substantially immediately downstream of either the same
monolithic body (5) or of another penetrated monolithic body.
Solid particles active for catalytic reduction of NOx, or a
spray of a liquid containing an aqueous solution of urea
and/or ammonia, active for catalytic reduction of NOx, may be
injected into the exhaust gases to impinge on a catalytic
layer (35,36) applied on a baffle (13), an end cap (11,12) or a flow
element being arranged so that said particles and/or droplets impinge
thereon.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of
deactivating working fiber pairs in an existing four-fiber
optical ring network or system for a cost-effective and
efficient allocation of the fiber resources available in the
ring network. When a working fiber pair is underutilized in
an existing ring network, the traffic scheduled for
transmission thereon is re-routed around the network away
from the fiber pair and lockouts are applied to prevent the
fiber pair to be removed from being protected. The fiber
pair and associated connecting equipment thus become unused
and unnecessary for traffic carrying purposes and can then be
deactivated. The present invention further provides a method
of deactivating protection fiber resources in an existing
optical interconnected ring network or system. The invention
uses 1:N protection principles to provide a single protection
path on spans interconnecting nodes common to two or more
optical rings. According to the invention, the unused fiber
pairs and equipment can be removed or alternatively be reprovisioned
for use in other network configurations to
provide a cost-effective and efficient allocation of the
resources available in the network.

Abstract: A web-based call center 10 and a method for its operation
include multiple agent and customer terminals 50, 52 connected to a web
server 42. The agent terminals and the customer terminals include a web
browser 70, 74 for accessing 84, 92 web documents from the web server
and annotation plug-in software 68; 72 for recording 86; 94 and replaying
static and dynamic annotations on web documents. An HTML document
registration tool 60 formats 80 web documents prior to storage on the web
server, so that the web documents are formatted for annotation. An
annotation server 44 includes a database 66 for storing annotated
documents received from agent and customer terminals. Indexing
software 64 associated with the annotation server extracts 98 key
information from annotations received from customer terminals as part of
callback requests. The extracted key information is indicative of a skills set
which is required by an agent in order to handle the callback request. An
ACD server utilizes the key information to route 102 callback requests to
qualified call center agents. A customer terminal can transmit an
information request in the form of a telephone call, a fax transmission, an
e-mail, or a callback request which includes an annotated web document.
An agent terminal can respond to the information request by telephone,
fax, e-mail, or by returning an annotated web document. Alternatively, the
customer and agent terminals can initiate 106, 108 a dynamic annotation
data sharing session.

Abstract: An alignment tool, method and system are provided for aligning a
cassette handler to a robot blade in a workpiece handling system, in which the tool
comprises a frame or fixture adapted to be supported by the cassette handler
support surface, in which the frame has one or more distance sensors positioned to
measure the distance of a workpiece or robot blade from the sensor or a
predetermined reference point or surface. In a preferred embodiment, the frame
emulates a workpiece cassette and the distance sensors provide a numerical output
of the distance to the workpiece. As explained in greater detail below, these
distance measurements facilitate accurately leveling and aligning the cassette
handler support surface relative to a workpiece supported by the robot blade such
that when the frame is replaced by an actual workpiece cassette, the workpiece
cassette will also be level and aligned with respect to the robot blade and the
workpiece held by the blade. As a consequence, accidental scratching and
breakage of workpieces such as semiconductor wafers and display substrates may
be reduced or eliminated.

Abstract: A method for implementing spelling error detection and
correction for a two-way mobile communication device (100).
The two-way mobile communication device has a display screen
(104) and a telephone-type keypad (116) where a number of
characters are mapped onto each key in a many to one fashion.
When the end of a character string (e.g., a word) is indicated by
the input of a termination symbol (e.g., a space or "#") then that
character string is compared to a plurality of character strings
stored in a dictionary. If no match is found, the character string
is considered misspelled. Then, individual character elements of
the subject character string are systematically replaced by the
character elements mapped to the same key with the result
being compared to the entries resident in the dictionary.
Matching character strings are retrieved and presented to the
user for examination and selection.
