Containers Dropped from Sample Clauses

Containers Dropped from a Ship (Basic Scenario 3). This scenario intends to simulate the NOPTILUS system performance when deployed to prevent an ecological disaster due to the sinking of a ship carrying liquid chemicals (like the example described in section B.1. 1.1). More precisely, and in order to simulate the sinking ship, containers will be dropped from a ship (outside the harbor at a location with maximum depth 60 meters and experiencing mild currents and waves); By the time the containers reach the seafloor they will start leaking chemicals. The containers will “land” on or close to a real shipwreck (in an attempt to simulate the process of a real ship sinking). Contrary to basic scenarios 1 and 2, the seafloor map will be assumed totally unknown to the NOPTILUS system. The NOPTILUS system will be called to concurrently (a) built a map of the seafloor, (b) detect, locate and track the container/shipwreck (while its sinking and when stabilized at the seafloor) (c) provide a clear map of the shipwreck and (d) detect, locate and track the spill after the containers have touched the seafloor and they start leaking. The overall NOPTILUS system will be demonstrated and evaluated during this scenario. Of particular importance during this scenario will be the demonstration of the ability of the NOPTILUS Situation Understanding module to be able to recognize and understand dynamic underwater phenomena. For this reason, artificially imposed incidents (e.g. one of the AUVs getting caught on a fishing net or losing contact with the central control) will also take place during this scenario and the NOPTILUS Situation Understanding module will be called to recognize these incidents. It has to be emphasized due to the complexity of the particular mission of base scenario 3, such a mission cannot be accomplished by human-operated ROVs or AUVs. As a result, a successful accomplishment of basic scenario 3 by the NOPTILUS system will be one of the most significant outcomes of the project. Porto University and the Portuguese Navy signed a Memo of Understanding (MOU) in 2007 to promote the cooperative development of unmanned vehicles. Under this MOU Porto University and the Portuguese Navy carried out several research and development projects and performance joint deployments. Under this cooperation, researchers from Porto University spent over 6 weeks at sea operating autonomous vehicles. This cooperation is due to continue at least for the duration of the project. In the context of this coop...

  • Transit Traffic 7.2.2.3.1 CenturyLink will accept traffic originated by CLEC’s network and/or its end user(s) for termination to other Telecommunications Carrier’s network and/or its end users that is connected to CenturyLink's Switch. CenturyLink will also terminate traffic from these other Telecommunications Carriers’ network and/or its end users to CLEC’s network and/or its end users. For purposes of the Agreement, transit traffic does not include traffic carried by Interexchange Carriers. That traffic is defined as Jointly Provided Switched Access. 7.2.2.3.2 The Parties involved in transporting transit traffic will deliver calls to each involved network with CCS/SS7 protocol and the appropriate ISUP/TCAP messages to facilitate full Interoperability and Billing functions. 7.2.2.3.3 The originating company is responsible for payment of appropriate rates to the transit company and to the terminating company. The Parties agree to enter into traffic exchange agreements with third party Telecommunications Carriers prior to delivering traffic to be transited to third party Telecommunications Carriers. In the event one Party originates traffic that transits the second Party’s network to reach a third party Telecommunications Carrier with whom the originating Party does not have a traffic exchange agreement, then the originating Party will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the second Party against any and all charges levied by such third party Telecommunications Carrier, including any termination charges related to such traffic and any attorneys fees and expenses. In the case of IntraLATA LEC Toll traffic where CenturyLink is the designated IntraLATA Toll provider for existing LECs, CenturyLink will be responsible for payment of appropriate usage rates. 7.2.2.3.4 When CenturyLink receives an unqueried call from CLEC to a telephone number that has been ported to another local services provider, the transit rate will apply in addition to any query rates. 7.2.2.3.5 In the case of a transit call that terminates in the Local Calling Area but in a different state than the call originated, and the CLEC does not have an agreement with CenturyLink in the state where the transit call terminated, CLEC must execute an agreement for that state if it is a state served by CenturyLink. In the absence of a second agreement, the transit rate in Exhibit A of this Agreement will be billed to the CLEC.

  • Loop Provisioning Involving Integrated Digital Loop Carriers 2.6.1 Where Xxxx has requested an Unbundled Loop and BellSouth uses IDLC systems to provide the local service to the End User and BellSouth has a suitable alternate facility available, BellSouth will make such alternative facilities available to Xxxx. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, BellSouth will implement one of the following alternative arrangements for Xxxx (e.g. hairpinning): 1. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to any spare copper that exists to the customer premises. 2. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to an existing DLC that is not integrated. 3. If capacity exists, provide "side-door" porting through the switch. 4. If capacity exists, provide "Digital Access Cross Connect System (DACS)- door" porting (if the IDLC routes through a DACS prior to integration into the switch). 2.6.2 Arrangements 3 and 4 above require the use of a designed circuit. Therefore, non- designed Loops such as the SL1 voice grade and UCL-ND may not be ordered in these cases. 2.6.3 If no alternate facility is available, and upon request from Xxxx, and if agreed to by both Parties, BellSouth may utilize its Special Construction (SC) process to determine the additional costs required to provision facilities. Xxxx will then have the option of paying the one-time SC rates to place the Loop.
