Abstract: A method for improving the network resources allocation in a TISPAN network, when a network user requests at least one communication service between an access node of the TISPAN network and a destination node, the TISPAN network using MPLS packet based transport technologies and GMPLS circuit switched based transport technologies. The proposed invention defines a communication procedure between TISPAN service layer architectures and multilayer GMPLS network architectures WSON). It aims to minimize total network resources consumption of increasing traffic demands with different requirements in terms of bandwidth and QoS.

Abstract: The invention relates to a retaining device, a retaining system between a female part and a male part, and a female part and male part to assure the retention between a wear element or tooth and an adaptor element or tooth bar used in excavators and the like. The female part, which can be a wear element or tooth, or an adaptor element or tooth bar, comprises, auto-fixed thereto, a retaining device which participates in the coupling with a pin of the female part with a male part, and prevents the pin from coming out of its blocking position, maintaining the fixing between the two parts, i.e., male part and female part. The coupling between both parts is detachable, allows removing the pin from the coupling and replacing the female part or male part together with the retaining device.

Abstract: A coupling system for coupling a wear element to an adapter for excavators and similar machinery and the components thereof. The coupling system is formed by a wear element, preferably a tooth though possibly a bucket protection element, a tooth bar or adaptor element and a securing system for securing the two elements, formed mainly by a pin. In addition, the securing system can include a retaining element with resilient properties, associated with the pin.

Abstract: Device for detachable fastening of two mechanical components between which a channel or housing is defined, including a peg, with at least two grooves on opposite faces, and a band accommodated in the grooves, fastened by pinching at the lower part of the peg and with a flexible portion that has the upper end thereof bent in order to retain the peg/band assembly in a transverse grove of the channel The invention applies in particular to the fastening of a tooth in a tooth holder of the scoop of an excavating machine or the like.

Abstract: A multilayer communications network system for distributing multicast services and a method for such a distribution The system comprises a switched optical transport network layer, such as a WSON, and an electronic packet switched network layer, such as a IP/MPLS, where the switched optical transport network layer transports multicast flows services and the electronic packet switched network layer is a backup layer of a dynamic restoration mechanism for recovery against one or more failures occurring in the switched optical transport network layer. The method comprises transporting multicast flows services through the switched optical transport network layer, and performing a recovery against one or more failures occurring in the switched optical transport network layer by means of a dynamic restoring carried out by using said electronic packet switched network layer as a backup layer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for closing the end of shirred tubular casings which comprises deshirring a terminal portion of the tubular casing in the direction of the axis of the stick, turning over the deshirred terminal portion in order to insert same inside the casing, securing the deshirred terminal portion from inside the casing, rotating the terminal portion and flattening the rotated terminal portion. This method is performed at the outlet of the shirring line (ON-LINE) as an additional phase of said operation, or it is performed away from the deshirring line (OFF-LINE) as an operation independent from the deshirring.

Abstract: There is described a nonwoven material comprising a multilayered stack, the multilayered stack comprising discrete interconnected layers, each of the layers, which may be the same or different, comprising a composite fibre of from about 80 to 100% w/w leaf or stem fibre and from about 1 to 20% w/w of a polymer, wherein the polymer is fusible at a temperature of about 180° C. or less. There is also described a novel method of enzyme degumming leaf and/or stem fibres.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for coordinating and automating the processes of IP traffic offload in transport technology, minimizing the operational problems associated with the configuration of IP and transport layers. The system consists of two main components, a transit traffic management module integrated into a network operator and a routing module for generating new links integrated into each of the IP network nodes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for distributing digital signals over wavelength-switched optical transport networks with long-distance optical multicasting capability comprising a transmitter module and a receiver module in the headend of primary network and in the local node, respectively, for multicasting IPTV channels with HDTV, UHDTV and 3DTV signals. The transmitter module comprises an Ethernet switch, three DPSK modulators and a DWDM optical multiplexer. The receiver module comprises an Ethernet switch, three DPSK demodulators and a DWDM optical demultiplexer. In a novel manner, both modules combine 2 Gbps digital transmission, RZ-DPSK modulation and optical multicasting over a wavelength-switched optical network, WSON.

Abstract: The system includes a plurality of user kits and a head-end kit in bi-directional communication over the electricity network. Its essential characteristics are: carrier by carrier treatment of transmission and reception signals and control of transmission power in each kit. The system makes it possible to reach the maximum the number of users, it maximizes transmission capacity, it admits signals coming from users situated at varying distances both near and far, it avoids the production of overflows, it introduces the maximum average power for the range available to the communication and it minimizes the number of bits necessary for the analog/digital conversion in reception.
