Abstract: In a multicast network communication system, administration of the communication path making up the multicast tree itself has been separated from control and administration of the network. Creation of a multicast distribution tree and control over the membership thereof, is separately controlled independently from the creation and use of the tree transmission path used to communicate among the members of a multicast set. Transmission distribution trees are set up when a transmission request is received and the properties of the transmission path that is required are known. Transmission paths are created and controlled by all nodes in the communications system, each node having necessary control code and processors for responding to requests from set members to transmit a message to groups of users by creating and activating the necessary tree communication path distribution linkages. A distribution tree is created by the Tree Leader by generating a tree address using a random number generator. A tree address correlator is generated utilizing network and node identifiers unique for the network, and a list of subnodes or users connected for each member of the multicast tree set is generated. Using this information, a tree distribution path is computed to cover all of the subnodes required and a tree set up request message is sent by the Tree Leader along a computed path to each involved subnode. Each subnode returns a message indicating whether the tree address is already in use or is available for use. Successfully negotiated tree addresses are marked at the path link initiation and termination points at each node through the network.

Abstract: The invention relates to a procedure and a device for leak testing of a volume and for determining the leaking amount. By means of the procedure according to the invention and the associated device, a volume to be tested is first filled with a test liquid and saturated. The volume to be tested is then connected to a specially constructed measuring volume. The geometrical shape of the measuring volume is known. Losses of test liquid occurring in the volume to be tested are compensated by feeding corresponding adequate quantities of liquid from the measuring volume. The determination of the leaking amount is then carried out exclusively based on pressure measurements by means of a first and second pressure-measuring sensor, the first pressure-measuring sensor serving to determine the relative pressure between the measuring volume and the environment and the second pressure-measuring sensor being used to determine the differential pressure between the test liquid and a remaining volume above the test liquid in the measuring volume. By means of a pressure-generating device, in the case of a loss of test liquid caused by leakage, the pressure in the measuring volume is increased in such a manner that the sum of the relative pressure and the differential pressure is kept essentially constant. A determination of the differential pressures at the start and at the end of a predetermined measuring time and the knowledge of the geometrical shape of the measuring volume and of a calibration point then serves for the calculation of the actual leaking amount.

Abstract: A magnetic field sensor (10) uses four individual magnetoresistive spin valve elements (A,B,C,D) electrically connected in a bridge circuit. The spin valve elements (A,B,C,D) are lithographically formed on the same substrate with their free layers (36) having their magnetization axes parallel to one another. An electrically conductive fixing layer is formed on the substrate but is insulated from the spin valve elements. The application of current through the fixing conductor during fabrication of the field sensor fixes the direction of magnetization of two of the pinned layers (39) to be antiparallel to the direction of magnetization of the other two pinned layers (39). The bridge circuit (10) output voltage is responsive to an external magnetic field (4) in the plane of the sensor (10). By appropriate fixing of the direction of magnetization of the pinned layers (39) during sensor (10) fabrication, and appropriate connection to the input (20,22) and output leads (24,26), the bridge circuit output voltage is a measure of either the magnetic field or field gradient.

Abstract: A radio transmission system for a touch trigger probe (10) for machine tools or coordinate measuring machines is described. In the transmitter shown in Fig 1, a 1kHz oscillator (16) produces a signal which is phase modulated by an electronic switch (14) and an inverter (28), when electrical contacts (11) within the probe (10) change state. This phase modulated signal is mixed in a mixer (24) with an unmodulated 500Hz reference signal, produced in a divider (18) from the oscillator (16), so that there is a precise phase relationship between the two signals. The receiver shown in Fig 2 has filters (38, 42) which separate out the 500Hz reference signal and the phase modulated 1kHz signal. A decoder (44) phase demodulates the 1kHz signal, using the 500Hz signal as a reference in order to increase the reliability of the resulting signal.

Abstract: A power management architecture in a data processing system comprising physical devices having at least one state, each state has corresponding power value, and where a system state is defined as the set of all current states of the physical devices. Power objects and thermal objects, each corresponding to a physical device, contain information about the power requirements and thermal characteristics of each possible state for that physical device. The power and thermal objects also describe the allowed state transitions from each possible state to another state, and the power requirements and thermal characteristics of all possible state transitions. Also communicated is the current state of each physical device. Event means generate signals indicating the occurrence of an event in the system. A policy module contains rules, implementing the power management, that direct an action, the rules being a function of events and of power object information. A controller, in communication with the physical devices, the thermal and power objects, the event means, and the policy module, changes the state of any one of the physical devices in response to an event. The controller determines whether to change a physical device state based on the policy module rules.

Abstract: An aspect of the present invention is to perform verifiable secret sharing by a practical amount of calculation and a practical amount of communication. In addition, by using this process, a shared digital signature is generated, or a shared authentication server is provided. 
     In a communication system where a plurality of information processing apparatuses are connected across secret communication channels and a broadcast communication channel, an information processing apparatus d generates a secret matrix from secret information s, l1, . . ., lk, extracts the first information segments for individual apparatuses i, and secretly transmits it to each apparatus i. The information processing apparatus d performs hash function on the secret matrix and broadcasts the output value. Each information processing apparatus i generates and broadcasts a random number, while the information processing apparatus d generates and broadcasts the second information segment from a partial array in consonance with the random number value. Each information processing apparatus i generates the third information segment in consonance with the first information segment and the random number, and verifies that the secret information has been correctly shared by comparing the third information segment with the second. By employing this secret information sharing method, apparatuses that belong to a group of signers cooperatively generate a signature, and a plurality of apparatuses that constitute authentication servers cooperatively provide authentication.

Les anticorps préférés sont des anticorps de recombinaison qui se lient auxdits complexes PNA/ADN ou PNA/ARN, mais pas à des PNA simple brin, ni à des acides nucléiques simple ou double brin. Les PNA sont des composés synthétiques récemment développés, dont certains comportent un squelette polyamide portant une pluralité de ligands tels que des nucléobases naturelles fixées au squelette par un élément de liaison approprié. Il a été démontré que certains PNA possèdent une affinité étonnamment élevée pour des acides nucléiques complémentaires, de sorte qu'ils forment des complexes spécifiques et très stables. De tels PNA peuvent ainsi être utilisés comme des sondes d'hybridation pour la détection d'acides nucléiques. Les anticorps décrits accroissent les possibilités d'utilisation des PNA comme sondes d'hybridation. Ces anticorps se prêtent à la capture, à la reconnaissance, à la détection, à l'identification ou à la quantification d'acides nucléiques dans des échantillons biologiques, de par leur aptitude à réagir avec des complexes biologiques, de par leur aptitude à réagir avec des complexes PNA/acides nucléiques.
