Filed:

Sep 12, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/660027

Inventors:

William J Rowe - Middletown NJ, US

Assignee:

Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04J 3/16
H04N 7/173

US Classification:

370437, 370252, 370468, 725124

Abstract:

The selection of which channel to use by a cable modem terminating system (CMTS) is made a function of input supplied by a spectrum analyzer. Note that typically the cable distribution system has coupled to it at the head end not only the CMTS but also a spectrum analyzer, which has been used in the prior art only for initial establishment and subsequent maintenance of the network, tasks which are performed manually by field technicians. In one embodiment of the invention an interface is established between the CMTS and the spectrum analyzer so that the CMTS and the spectrum analyzer can communicate with each other, and the decision on which channel to use for the upstream is made by the CMTS based at least in part on information provided by the spectrum analyzer. Alternatively, the CMTS and spectrum analyzer are each interfaced to a spectrum controller which makes the decision of which channel to use for the upstream based at least in part on information provided by the spectrum analyzer. The spectrum controller then instructs the CMTS to carry out its decision.

Assignee:

Polychrome Corporation - Yonkers NY

International Classification:

G03C 160
G03C 154
G03F 708

US Classification:

430163

Abstract:

Improved compositions comprising solvent-soluble, negative-acting or positive-acting light-sensitive diazonium compounds and solvent-soluble unsaturated monomers which are the products of about two equivalents of an organic diisocyanate with about one equivalent of an active hydrogen-containing organic compound, e. g. , an alcohol or amine, preferably a polyol, which products are subsequently reacted with an unsaturated compound which contains an active-hydrogen, preferably in a hydroxyl group, available to react with the remaining isocyanate groups. The compositions can be coated onto suitable base sheet materials to form presensitized lithographic printing plates, proofs for multi-color printing, visual aids, printed circuits and the like.

Abstract:

An O-epoxyalklyated tetrakis (hydroxyphenyl) alkane resin or the esterified reaction product of about one equivalent thereof with less than one equivalent of an ethylentically unsaturated organic acid can be combined with an aqueous alkali- and radiation sensitive, negative acting substance which when coated on a substrate forms a radiation sensitive negative working element.

Assignee:

Polychrome Corporation - Yonkers NY

International Classification:

C08L 9304
C08G 6376
C08G 1804

US Classification:

260 24

Abstract:

A pressure sensitive adhesive formed by exposure of a mixture comprising (I) a liquid, substantially water-insoluble monomeric composition, containing zero percent free isocyanate groups, which comprises the reaction product of (i) one equivalent of an isocyanate containing intermediate which is, itself, the reaction product of about one equivalent of an organic, monomeric compound containing more than one active hydrogen with two equivalents of an organic polyisocyanate, and (ii) one equivalent of a monomeric olefinically unsaturated compound containing exactly one active group; (II) a tackifier and (III) a polymerization inhibitor to a source of ultraviolet or electron beam radiation whereby the composition is rendered tacky.

US Classification:

20415915

Abstract:

Photopolymerizable compositions comprised of (I) novel polymers which are substantially comprised of the reaction products of (A) organic polyisocyanates and (B) organic compounds containing at least about two active hydrogen atoms per molecule, said polymers having been end-capped by reaction with (C) organic compounds containing at least one active hydrogen atom and said end-capped polymers having viscosities of from about 5 to about 70 stokes when measured as a 30% solution in a mixture of approximately equal parts of xylol, methyl ethyl ketone and ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, at 25. degree. C. , (II) addition polymerization initiators activatable by actinic light, and (III) addition polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated components capable of forming polymers by photoinitiated polymerization in the presence of the initiators. The unsaturated components may be integral parts of the polymer's structure, or they may be separate compounds admixed with the polymers and initiators. Relief images, especially useful for printing, are prepared by exposure of a mass of the composition to a light source through, e. g.

Abstract:

A developer composition for photosensitive coatings on substrates, particularly lithographic printing plates sensitized with substantially water-insoluble diazonium compounds, which is comprised of an aqueous solution of a substantially water-soluble organo-lithium salt, e. g. , lithium naphthenate, lithium benzoate, lithium ricinoleate, etc. The novel developers quickly remove unexposed areas of the plate and yet do not detrimentally dissolve the exposed areas of the plate.
