Patent EP-0814326-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FREDERICK DONALD A
IPC: G01H9/00
Filed: 1997-06-03
Abstract: A fiber optic hydrophone (30) is formed as a single interferometer having widely separated interferometer segments (32-35) formed in each of a pair of optical fibers (56-70). The interferometer segments (32-35) are designed to allow averaging of the effects of local noise sources over a broad area in order to increase the acoustic signal-to-noise ratio. The interferometer segments (32-35) also allow deployment of the hydrophone around sharp bends. A first optical fiber (56) is formed into a plurality of spatially separated outer coils (58,90,94). A second optical fiber (70) is formed into a plurality of inner coils (72,92,96) corresponding to the outer coils. The inner (50) and outer coils (72) are preferably arranged in concentric pairs to form a plurality of sensor segments (32-35). A plurality of spacers (40-42) is arranged such that a spacer is between successive sensor segments. The spacers (40-42) are formed to guide the outer (56) and inner (70) optical fibers between successive sensor segments (32-35) such that changes in the physical parameter between the sensor segments (32-35) produce no phase difference between optical signals guided by the outer (56) and inner (70) fibers. The outer (58) and inner coils (70) are preferably arranged for exposure to the parameter such that changes in the parameter at each sensor segment produce opposite phase changes between the optical signals in the outer coils and the corresponding outer coil.

Abstract: A communication switching system has a plurality of switch nodes each
of which is responsive to a failure of the primary signaling channel (421) providing
the common signaling channel in a facility access service (FAS) group to
immediately switch to the secondary signaling channel (420) of the FAS group. This
switching occurs quickly so that no calls are dropped within the FAS group. Any
logical links being communicated on the primary signling channel are transferred to
the secondary signaling channel with no data packets being irreplaceably lost. A
first physical object (412) is established to control a physical protocol on the primary
signaling channel, and a second physical object (417) is established to control the
physical protocol on the secondary signaling channel. A single software object (400)
is established to always control the first layer of software protocol on the common
signaling channel whether that is the primary or secondary signaling channel. When
failure of the primary signaling channel is detected, information for the common
signaling channel is routed from the second physical object to the software object,
thereby preserving the common signaling channel.

advertiser specific data including current and previous
advertiser specific data upon request; displaying the
advertiser specific data including current and previous
advertiser specific data upon request; obtaining an
advertiser destination number from the advertiser
specific data and automatically attempting to establish
voice connection with the advertiser upon request;
providing directions to an advertiser location; and
determining a geographically preferred advertiser.

Abstract: The counter 52 is set with an initial value of "1"
and is a counter with a maximum value of "4". This
counter 52 increments the count value held by the flip-flop
51 in synchronization with a clock signal so that the
count value changes as shown by the progression 1,2,3,4,1,
2,3,4. This clock signal is also used by the instruction
decode control unit 11 to control the execution of
instructions, with the counting by the counter 52 being
performed once for each instruction execution performed by
the instruction decode control unit 11. The comparator 54
compares the count value counted by the counter 52 with
the maximum value "4", and when the values match, sets the
task switching signal chg_task_ex at a "High" value, so
that the processing switches to the execution of the next
task.

combustion engine. A second signal is obtained which relates to
the stress in the member produced by a second loading event or
series of events from the same or other cylinder in which the
torque/load was intentionally inhibited. The first and second
signals are-then compared to detect degradation in output of the
engine.
