Abstract: L'invention a pour objet un procédé de fabrication d'un produit abrasif lié par un métal tel qu'une scie, un foret ou une perle pour fil diamanté. Le procédé inclut les étapes suivantes: premièrement, création d'un mélange qui comprend le métal sous forme particulaire et les particules abrasives et, deuxièmement, pressage à froid dudit mélange, ce qui permet d'obtenir la forme finale désirée dans une plage de pression allant de 320 à 1500 MPa; on obtient un produit pressé à froid dans une plage de température comprise entre 900 et 1300 °C, dans des conditions qui inhibent la dégradation des particules abrasives et du métal particulaire. Après le frittage libre, le produit possède, en règle générale, une porosité relativement élevée, par exemple, une porosité entre 10 et 25 % en volume.

Abstract: A filter used in a CATV or satellite broadcasting system to filter conditional access
messages from PID streams. The filter is programmable and is designed to be
implemented as part of a standard architecture for receivers. The filter's
programmability permits the filter to be easily adapted to accommodate proprietary
conditional access systems. Programs for the filter are stored in the "smart card" used
to personalize the receiver and downloaded to the filter. The filter has two levels.
The first level is a packet selection filter which selects messages of interest to the
receiver. The second level is a message reading filter which scans messages selected
by the first level for contents that are of interest to the receiver. The scanned contents
are output to the smart card, which uses them as required by the conditional access
system. Programs for the filter's first level define the part of a message to be tested
by the filter, the filter that the part to be tested is matched with, and whether a
matching or non-matching message is to be passed to the second level. Programs for
the second level define which parts of the packet are to be scanned and output to the
smart card. The scanning can be conditioned on the contents of the message. In one
embodiment, the first level of the filter is implemented in an ASIC and the second
level is implemented using the receiver's microprocessor.

Abstract: A network infrastructure comprises a number of connective devices (routers (2),
repeaters (C1,C4), bridges (C3), etc.) to form a communication network for a plurality of end nodes (N1...Nv).
Message packets originating with an end node are assigned an input virtual network and
workgroup identification at the port (P1..Pv) at which the packet enters the network. This assigned
input virtual network and workgroup identification is compared, at each port (P1..Pv) from which
the packet can exit the network infrastructure, with output virtual network and workgroup
identification assigned the particular port. If the input virtual network information does
not match the output virtual network information, the packet is prohibited from exiting
that port. Even if there is a match between the input and output virtual network
information, there must also be a match between at least one bit of the input workgroup
identification and the output workgroup identification before the packet can exit the port.

Abstract: Network-incompatible low-function printers 3A, 3B, ... incapable of interpreting
a high-function language are connected to a high-function printer 2 which can connect to
a network 4 and which can interpret a high-function language such as PostScript, in
such a way as to be positioned in a downstream location relative to the printer 2, thereby
constituting one printer group. The high-function printer 2 examines the performance
attributes of the downstream low-function printers 3A, 3B, ... and stores the thus-examined
performance. The printer 2 notifies the performance attributes of the overall
printer group to a host provided on the network 4. On the basis of the thus-notified
performance, a printer drive provided in the host prepares and displays a user interface
screen. Upon receipt of print job data from the host, the high-function printer 2 selects
a printer suitable for processing the job from the printer group and transfers the job data
to the thus-selected printer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a filtering method used for a video
signal at the receiver. It is mostly suited for video compression
algorithms utilizing DCT-based video compression
technology. In the invention the boundaries (49) between
adjacent video blocks (B5 and B6) are filtered
based on the amount of activity inside the adjacent video
blocks and the activity at the boundary between the adjacent
video blocks. If the filtering according to the invention
is performed, it is focused to a certain number of pixels
(42,43,44,45,46,47)
close to the boundary (49). The filtering
is done by adjusting the numerical values of each video
pixel close to the boundary towards a reference line,
which is defined as a linear equation leading from the
numerical value of a first reference pixel (41) to the numerical
value of a second reference pixel (48). The reference
pixels (41,48) are selected from the adjacent video
blocks to present the smooth movement over the boundary
between the adjacent video blocks (B5 and B6).

an ester of glycerin with montanic acid wax and/or alkylene oxide
adducts thereto and/or an ester of polyoxyalkylene with montanic acid
wax as an anti-clouding agent, and (b) a fluorine-containing
surfactant as an anti-fogging agent, kneading them with a film-forming
resin such as vinyl chloride resin, polyethylene, ethylene/vinyl
acetate copolymer, and forming it into a film. Incorporation of (c)
an ester of sorbitan with higher fatty acid containing 12 to 22 carbon
atoms, an ester of glycerin with higher fatty acid containing 12 to

Abstract: Routing information between an origination module and a destination module using a routing architecture. After an origination module (OM) receives information, a packet is transmitted to a routing architecture (RA) for routing to a destination module (DM) designated by the router packet. The RA interprets the router packet and adaptively routes the router packet to the DM so that the router packet is quickly processed by the DM. If the DM's queue is empty and the DM is not processing any other packets, the RA places the router packet in the queue and the DM reads its queue to process the router packet. If there is another router packet being processed by the DM, the RA adapts by placing the router packet in the queue. Once processing of the other router packet is complete, the DM processes the router packet in the queue. If there is already another router packet pending within the DM's queue, the RA adapts by creating another DM in memory to process the router packet. If the router packet is not processed by the DM within a predetermined amount of time, the RA adapts by sending an interrupt to cancel processing within the DM and ensure that the router packet is next to be processed.
