The present invention is directed to varying the radial seating position of the roller while maintaining a constant chordal dimension between seated rollers. The roots between teeth of a sprocket for a roller chain have radii that vary between a nominal radius and a maximum radius and a minimum radius. This variation or randomization is intended to provide a noise modulation effect while avoiding ...

A spoken dialog system is constructed to sufficiently understand a user's response to the openended prompt 'How may I help you?' in order to route a caller to an appropriate destination, with subsequent processing for information retrieval or call/task completion. In this invention the relationships among the call types are structured into an inheritance hierarchy. Then a dialog manager exploits t...

An installation for connection to a water piping system comprising a water main and at least one branch pipe, for preventing a stagnation of water inside that branch pipe. A pumping unit is connected to first and second openings in the far end of the branch pipe for pumping water samples out of the branch pipe through the first opening, and back into the branch pipe through the second opening. The...

A configuration server is incorporated into a distributed router to support multiple route servers in an internetworking system. The multiple route servers in the system provide load sharing and/or standby functionality. In the system route servers provide routing decisions while edge forwarders are the packet forwarding elements. The configuration server is responsible for mapping edge forwarders...

The invention relates to distributed computer or server networks and to methods of automatically establishing communication links between individual servers in the network. The servers in the network are all members of an overlay spanning tree where the tree is comprised of servers as nodes and communication links as edges. Discovery and hunt addressing protocols are implemented to locate peer ser...
