Filed: 2001-04-04
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de déploiement actif (10, 10') comprenant un système de vérin passif (410) relié à un système de vérin actif (400). Le système de vérin passif, qui comprend un accumulateur pré-chargé (440), assure un équilibrage des charges pour le dispositif ou pour toute autre masse/charge déployée. La pression exercée sur l'extrémité fermée des vérins passifs accompagne la charge (60), de telle sorte que le vérin passif se trouve en position équilibrée à mi-course, la charge étant suspendue au bout d'un câble (30). Un ensemble réa (120, 130), placé aux extrémités opposées de la combinaison vérin passif/vérin actif, permet d'introduire un multiplicateur de course de ligne pour le déplacement du vérin. Le vérin actif est actionné par commande hydraulique de manière à ajouter ou à retirer une charge au/du système de vérin passif, afin d'obtenir un équilibre compensateur. Le procédé comprend les étapes consistant à mesurer un mouvement de soulèvement (vitesse et direction), puis à ajuster la force de tension appliquée sur le câble (30) lorsque on détermine que la vitesse de soulèvement est supérieure à la vitesse critique présélectionnée.

Title: Method and apparatus for improving corrosion resistance of chrome plated material
Inventor: THERKILDSEN CHARLES G
IPC: B24B29/06
Filed: 2002-10-02
Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the corrosion resistance of chrome plated materials. After the materials to be chrome plated are mechanically abrasively polished, but before they are reverse etched, they are power washed with a high-pressure liquid.   A sprayer with nozzles directed inwardly towards the materials directs water onto the material at pressures in the range of 1000 or 2500 to 3000 psi. After the materials are chrome plated, they are heated above the melting point of a buffing compound, and then the heated materials with the buffing compound applied are buffed. An induction heater is used, before or after the buffing compound is applied. Computer controls, responsive to operator input of the cross-sectional size, composition and/or speed of movement of the chrome plated materials, to in turn regulate the power to an induction coil heater.

Title: Interconnectable rooftop pipe support devices and method of supporting pipes
Inventor: ROSS MICHAEL D
IPC: F16L3/16
Filed: 2002-10-31
Abstract: A wipe support device and a method for supporting exposed pipes on flat roofs. The pipe support device includes a body having a base portion with a lower pad-receiving area. An upwardly extending support portion has an upper surface for vertically supporting the pipes without restraining them from horizontal movement. A pad is adapted to engage the pad receiving area to engage and conform to the irregular surface of the roof. The pipes rest on but are not rigidly connected to the upper surface of the support portion such that the pipes slide on the upper surface during movement due to thermal expansion and contraction of the pipes. Deformation of the pad about the irregular surface under weight of the pipes anchors the pipe support device in a desired position on the roof by slightly compressing the pad without requiring permanent mounting to the roof and while protecting the membrane from penetration by the gravel due to the weight of the pipes resting thereon. Multiple longitudinally adjacent pipe support devices are adapted to be interconnectable to form elongate rooftop pipe support assemblies of a desired length to support multiple pipes.

Filed: 2001-07-11
Abstract: A frame classification entity (FCE) for a station in a basic service set (BSS) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) is disclosed. The FCE includes a classification table. The classification table is logically located at a logical link control (LLC) sublayer of the station, and contains at least one classifier entry. Accordingly, the station can include a point coordinator (PC) or be a non-PC station. Each classifier entry includes at least a virtual stream identifier (VSID), a search priority value, and at least one classifier parameter. Each classifier entry in the classification table is arranged in a hierarchical order based on the search priority value included in the classifier entry. The FCE receives at least one data frame passed down to the LLC sublayer of the station from a higher layer in the station. The FCE then classifies each received data frame to a VSID by examining the data frame against the classification table of the station. When the data frame is examined and the VSID of the data frame is contained ina classifier entry of the classification table, the VSID is associated with a QoS parameter set for transporting the data frame between peer LLC entities of the BSS. When the frame classification information contained in a received data frame is not included in any classifier entry in the classification table, result of classification is expressed in a special VSID that is not associated with a QoS parameter set and the data frame is transported between peer LLC entities of the BSS on a best-effort basis.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with a work allocation system having a plurality of agents that bid for work in accordance with preferences and behaviour of resources corresponding thereto. Each agent represents a group of resources and is arranged to evaluate the likelihood that at least one resource in the group can carry out a work item. The evaluation is dependent on work items previously selected and/or carried out by resource, so that the agent effectively models the preferences of its workers. The agent can use this preference information to decide a bidding strategy (i.e. to decide which work items it can bid for), and, having successfully bid for a work item, can allocate work based on individual characteristics and observed work preferences. The bidding for work between agents is, for example, conducted in accordance with contract net based negociation.
