Patent CA-2298899-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BONAVENTURE OLIVIER
IPC: H04L12/54
Filed: 2000-02-15
Abstract: The invention concerns a data traffic politer (POL) included in a telecommunication network to police data traffic. The data traffic includes data packets that are part of a lower order data flow that is on its turn part of a higher order data flow. Each data packet is associated to a lower order identifier (LOI) that identifies the lower order data flow and to a higher order identifier that (HOI) identifies the higher order data flow. The politer (POL) includes first determining means (DET1) coupled to an input of the politer (POL) to determine, upon reception of a data packet, its lower order identifier (LOI). A first control means (CTRL1) coupled to the first determining means (DET1) checks a conformance of the data packet according to predefined lower order conformance rules (LOC(LOI)) associated to its lower order identifier (LOI) and provides thereby a lower order conformance result (LOCK) that is lower order conforming or lower order non-conforming. Furthermore the politer (POL) includes second determining means (DET2) coupled to the input to determine the higher order identifier (HOI) that is associated to the data packet and forwards the higher order identifier (HOI) to a second control means (CTRL2). The second control means (CTRL2) checks a conformance of the data packet according to predefined higher order conformance rules (HOC(HOI)) associated to the higher order identifier (HOI) and provides a higher order conformance result (HOCR) that is higher order conforming or higher order non-conforming. The politer (POL) includes declaring means (DECL) coupled between the first control means (CTRL1), the second control means (CTRL2) and an output (OUT) of the politer (POL). The declaring means (DECL) declares, in the event when the lower order conformance result (LOCR) is lower order non-conforming, and the higher order conformance result (HOCK) is higher order conforming, the data packet as conforming. Hereby, when being transmitted, the data packet uses some leftover bandwidth from another lower order data flow within the higher order data flow.

To this end, the A-side and the B-side allocation of the substructures of an ATM adaptation layer frame is determined by administration. Additional information such as the number of ATM cells containing an ATM adaptation layer frame or data indicating whether the individual substructures have the same size can also be determined by administration.

IPC: B24D7/18
Filed: 2000-04-27
Abstract: The present invention provides a grinding cup having a lower grinding section and an upper body section integrally connected to form a grinding cup having top and bottom surfaces. The grinding section is formed from a material capable of grinding the hard materials such as tungsten carbide inserts of button bits etc. A centrally disposed convex recess is formed in the bottom surface having the desired size and profile for the button to be ground. Drive means are provided on or in the upper body section that cooperate with the output shaft of the grinding machine.  Retaining means are provided in conjunction with the drive means to releasably secure the grinding cup to the output shaft of the grinding machine during use. The drive means and the upper body section or grinding section of the grinding cup are adapted to optimize the engagement surfaces and points of contact between the grinding cup and rotor or adapter to reduce negative impact on operational stability and rotor wear, as well as other potential associated wear to the grinding apparatus caused by vibration and/or resonance. In addition, substantially reducing vibration and/or resonance will minimize the deterioration of the preferred built-in profile of the cavity in the grinding section. In the preferred design the drive and/or contact surfaces between grinding cup and rotor or adapter are substantially harmonized, minimizing operator exposure to sharp and/or protruding features when the grinding cup and rotor have engaged.

IPC: A61L2/10
Filed: 2000-08-07
Abstract: A writing implement sterilization apparatus having ultraviolet sterilization in an enclosed container to kill bacteria and other disease carrying organisms. The invention comprises a horizontal or vertical container into which a user places pens, pencils, or other writing implements to be sterilized. An ultraviolet source within the container irradiates the writing implement thereby killing any microorganisms that might reside on the writing implements.      Ultraviolet radiation below 200 nm can also be used thereby creating ozone gas having germicidal characteristics. The ozone gas is circulating in and around the writing implements thereby providing further sterilization together with the ultraviolet radiation. An interlocking switch turns the UV source off when the container is opened.
