  • Publication number: 20120020020
    Abstract: Fluid-cooling technology developed for printed circuit boards (PCBs) and electronics assemblies is combined with optical-based interconnect technology, thereby enabling efficient fabrication of PCBs with free-space optical bearers. Since cooling components such as fans and heat sinks are no longer required on the PCB, the PCB is thinner and makes better use of a cooling substrate by also using it to carry optical signals. A card or a backplane supporting a plurality of active components can combine optical signals and cooling aspects in support of those components.

  • Publication number: 20120020718
    Abstract: Non-therapeutic process for making up and/or caring for non-fibrous human keratin materials, especially the skin, its mucous membranes or the nails, by bringing an outer surface of a piece of a particular solid cosmetic composition into contact with or close to a heating device so as to heat the piece locally in order to soften essentially only the outer surface and to lower its coefficient of dynamic friction, and then applying the outer surface of the composition thus heated to the region to be treated.

  • Publication number: 20120021787
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication method supervised by an interference classification. For two couples of transmitting and receiving terminals having communications using the same radio resources and interfering with each other, a partition of the interference diagram into a plurality of distinct zones is determined, each zone corresponding to a particular processing. For an operating point of the transmitting and receiving terminals, the zone in which this point is located is determined, and the processing associated with that zone is performed in at least one of the receiving terminals.

  • Publication number: 20120020207
    Abstract: Method of re-routing traffic in a communications network (1) in the event of a fault (3) on a path across the network, the method comprising, determining whether a first node (4), located between the fault and a network ingress node (6), is capable of switching traffic to an alternative path which avoids the fault, and if the first node is determined to be not so capable, then determining whether a second node (8), located upstream of the first node, is capable of switching traffic to an alternative path which avoids the fault.

  • Publication number: 20120021606
    Abstract: A process for producing two interleaved patterns on a substrate uses photolithography and etching to produce, on the substrate, a first pattern of first material protruding regions separated by recessed regions. A non-conformal deposition of a second material on the first pattern forms cavities in the recessed regions of the first pattern. These cavities are opened and filled with a third material. The second material is then removed, and the remaining third material forms a second pattern of third material protruding regions, wherein the second pattern is interleaved with the first pattern.

  • Publication number: 20120020398
    Abstract: Improved diagnostics of transmission line (100) noise are enabled by adapting DSL equipment (110, 120) to make measurements of quiet line noise also in the transmit bands, so that noise can be measured at both ends for the same frequency or frequency bands. An estimate of the point where noise enters the line, as well as an estimate of the noise power at that point can be made from the relationship between the so measured noise levels at both ends of the line.

  • Publication number: 20120020421
    Abstract: Inter-cell interference coordination across layers of a communication network can be implemented by configuring a cell to transmit one or more downlink transmission resources having variably reduced transmission activity. A transmitting node, such as a macro cell, can transmit transmission resources, such as resource elements, resource blocks, subframes, and frames, having reduced transmission activity at varying predictable times according to a selected cell activity pattern. A receiving node, such as a user equipment, can decide to make received signal measurements according to the cell activity pattern.

    Abstract: Methods and arrangements in a WSAN Gateway (15), a WSAN Manager (16) and a WSAN sensor for attaching an additional sensor (39) to a WSAN (12) comprising at least one existing WSAN sensor (33). The additional sensor emits an indication of its private identity after insertion in the WSAN, and the indication is received by the existing sensors in the WSAN and forwarded to the WSAN Gateway, after an eligibility check. Thereafter, the WSAN Gateway sends an authentication request to the WSAN Manager, which computes an authentication vector and transmits to the WSAN Gateway for the authentication of the new sensor.
