Abstract: A frangible securing element secures a plug (3a,3b) to a fin (2). The
plug (3a,3b) can then be mounted to a waterborne apparatus (19) such
as a surfboard or a sailboard. The frangible securing
element (4,4a,4b) fractures upon sufficient force acting on the
fin (2). A replacement frangible securing element (4,4a,4b) may be
used to re-secure the fin (2) to the plug (3a,3b) after a fracture
having happened.

Abstract: A method of monitoring on-line the initial modulus of a spun and at least partially drawn textile
yarn (15, 27) is provided. The method consists of forwarding the yarn (15, 27) from a
forwarding point (21) to a package (19), winding the yarn (15, 27) on the package (19) whilst
traversing the yarn (15, 27) adjacent the package (19) at a periodically disturbed speed, and
continuously measuring the short term variation in yarn tension due to the change in yarn path
length (D-d) between the forwarding point (21) and the package (19). An alarm (25) is initiated
if the sampled data is equals predetermined limits. The initial modulus of the yarn (15, 27) is
calculated from the amplitude of the tension variations.

Abstract: A rotor (110), such as a rotor of an aircraft gas turbine engine, uses damper-
ring devices for damping unwanted rotor vibrations. One device (126) has
inner and outer damper rings (132 and 130) in a groove (118) with the outer
damper ring (130) providing ring-rotor frictional damping only at large
vibrational amplitudes and with the inner and outer damper rings providing
inter-ring frictional damping at both small and large vibrational amplitudes.
Other devices include a damper ring and a viscoelastic layer, a hollow
damper ring containing particulate matter, and a damper ring in the form of a
cable made of twisted single-wire strands.

Abstract: A vibration relief apparatus capable of reducing a
frequency at a resonance point, to thereby reduce
vibration transmissibility, resulting in improving a
feeling in riding in a vehicle during traveling thereof,
comprises a suspension unit (10) including coil springs
(30) and a torsion bar (40) substantially horizontally
arranged with respect to an X-link (13). The coil
springs (30) constitute a first spring mechanism having
negative spring characteristics and the torsion bar (40)
constitutes a second spring mechanism having positive
spring characteristics. Such configuration permits a
spring system constituted by the first and second spring
mechanisms to have a spring constant about an equilibrium
point set to be about 0. This permits a phase delay to
be produced in a low-frequency region, so that the
vibration relief apparatus may exhibit enhanced vibration
absorbing characteristics.

IPC: H04B10/118
Filed: 2000-10-20
Abstract: A system for transmitting digitized samples of analog signals while concealing
unrecoverable digitized samples of analog signals to maintain a level of fidelity in
reproducing the analog signals. The digitized samples of the analog signals are
burst transmitted such that the probability of interference with the transmission and
thus corruption of the digitized samples of the analog signals is minimized. The
digitized samples are received without synchronizing a receiving clock with a
transmitting clock to capture the digitized samples of the analog signals. The
digitized samples are converted from various sampling rates to digitized samples of
the analog signals having a rate. Any large groups of digitized samples that are in
error or corrupted in transmission are softly muted to avoid annoying clicks. Any
long term difference between a transmit clock and a receive clock is tracked and the
digitized samples are interpolated or decimated to eliminate any underrun or overrun
of the digitized samples.

Abstract: The invention presents an apparatus and
method for testing supply connections (80) of an electronic
device (10) by using a current mirror (20) configuration
through using a particular connection of the branches of
the current mirror to the supply line. Such connection
results in unbalanced operation of the current mirror but
depending whether said supply connection under test is
proper or not, said unbalance is essentially different,
resulting in a high sensitivity of the invented test
device.

value (D1), the relevant animal is admitted a larger number of
times per 24 hours to the area arranged for automatic milking

Filed: 2001-01-08
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for analyzing the operation of one or more
network gateways, such as firewalls or routers, that perform a packet filtering function in
a network environment. Given a user query, the disclosed firewall analysis tool simulates
the behavior of the various firewalls, taking into account the topology of the network
environment, and determines which portions of the services or machines specified in the
original query would manage to reach from the source to the destination. The relevant
packet-filtering configuration files are collected and an internal representation of the
implied security policy is derived. A graph data structure is used to represent the
network topology. A gateway-zone graph permits the firewall analysis tool to determine
where given packets will travel in the network, and which gateways will be encountered
along those paths. In this manner, the firewall analysis tool can evaluate a query object
against each rule-base object, for each gateway node in the gateway-zone graph that is
encountered along each path between the source and destination. A graphical user
interface is provided for receiving queries, such as whether one or more given services
are permitted between one or more given machines, and providing results. A spoofing
attack can be simulated by allowing the user to specify where packets are to be injected
into the network, which may not be the true location of the source host-group.
