  • Publication number: 20220014522
    Abstract: Where a single networked security service supports multiple enterprises, this security service can operate as a shared source of trust so that security devices associated with one enterprise can provide authenticated, policy-based management of computing devices associated with another enterprise. For example, an enterprise firewall can advantageously manage network access for a new device based on a shared and authenticated relationship with the networked security service.

  • Patent number: 7653347
    Abstract: A Doppler compensation method is used for radio transmission between a mobile body possibly but not exclusively a train and some base station, both mobile body and base station comprise respectively a transceiver connected to an antenna for the radio transmission. The method comprises the step of determining the direction of motion of the mobile body with respect to the active base station i.e. the base station to which a radio transmission link is just built. The method is then followed by the step to apply a constant Doppler compensation corresponding to the cancellation of the Doppler effect for a mobile body moving in the same direction at predefined limiting speed of motion (vlimit) at which a quality threshold is reached with the used radio transmission technology in the case without a Doppler compensation.

  • Patent number: 7467656
    Abstract: A liquid-cooled permanent mold for the continuous casting of metals, comprising mold plates (1) made of copper or a copper alloy, which are connected respectively to an adapter plate or a water-cooling tank by clamping bolts, the clamping bolts being fastened to plateau pedestals (3) that protrude in an insular fashion from the coolant side (2), which at least partially extend into a coolant gap formed between the mold plate (1) and the adapter plate or the cooling-water tank, and have a streamlined form adjusted to the flow direction of the coolant. The coolant side (2) has cooling ribs (4, 5, 6, 7) that extend into the coolant gap and are situated from place to place between two adjacent plateau pedestals (3).

  • Publication number: 20070155333
    Abstract: The goal of the invention is to keep the delay of a communication signal between a moving vehicle (mobile body) and a fixed base station constant. This is achieved by a Doppler compensation method for data to be transmitted within frames via radio transmission between a mobile body and some base station, both mobile body and base station comprise respectively a transceiver connected to an antenna for the radio transmission. The method comprises the step of determining the Doppler effect acting on the frames when transmitted as a signal through that radio transmission for a given speed and direction of motion of the mobile body with respect to the base station. It is then followed by the step to apply by the transceiver some sampling procedure comprising an allocation of different time delays to the signal, the different time delays being chosen following a law adapted to compensate the determined Doppler effect.
