Abstract: Systems and methods to provide ordered transmission of data packets to multiple destinations are presented. A transmission device includes a transmitter, a data packet ordering unit, a state table, and a transmit management interface such as a hardware/software unit. The state table stores a transmit block status of each destination. The transmit management interface is coupled to the transmitter and analyzes data packets. The transmit management interface determines whether to transmit a data packet targeted to a particular destination or to block transmission of data packets to the particular destination by examining the transmit block status of the particular destination from the state table.

Abstract: A wireless device receives a request to originate a data call, e.g., from the user or a higher layer application. If origination control is not to be applied, then the wireless device originates the data call immediately. Otherwise, the origination of the data call is controlled based on prior data call origination attempts that are applicable to the data call. For example, the wireless device may originate the data call immediately if (1) the most recent origination attempt was successful or (2) the most recent origination attempt was unsuccessful but a predetermined time period has elapsed since this unsuccessful origination attempt. If the most recent origination attempt was unsuccessful and the predetermined time period has not elapsed, then the wireless device may (1) wait until this predetermined time period elapses and then originate the data call or (2) reject the data call.

Abstract: Slag deposited on the bottom of a steel making furnace, especially a soaking pit for steel ingots, is difficult to remove. To enable this to be done while the furnace is hot, it is now proposed to supply a substance, e.g. ferro-silicon, which lowers the melting point of the slag, and a substance which reacts exothermically to initiate melting of the slag. When the slag is sufficiently liquefied, it is removed by means of a mechanical grab.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine has an orbital inner body or piston member (21,200) working in a housing (10,204) and eccentrically connected with a power output shaft (36,38) to rotate the latter while orbiting within the housing. A compact, efficient design is obtained by associating each pair of interfitting lobes (16,28; 18,30; 20,32), formed respectively in the housing and inner body and together providing a combustion chamber (70) and an exhaust chamber (72), with an intake and compression chamber (56) formed by a recess (42, 44, 46) in the inner body and a slidable element (46) accommodated therein. During orbital movement of the inner body, the slidable element (46) slides into sealing engagement with the associated lobes to form a sealed space containing the chambers (70,72). The housing, inner body and slidable element (46) feature an arrangement of grooves (86, 88, 90) which, during the orbital movement, cause fluid to be admitted to the chamber (56) for compression therein, then admit the compressed fluid to the combustion chamber, and thereafter exhaust the expanded fluid from the exhaust chamber (72). Each inner body lobe includes a surface (70a) parallel to the axis of eccentricity whereby combustion forces act normal to the axis in order to attain enhanced efficiency of power transfer to the shaft (36, 38).

Abstract: A universal or ball pivot-link chain is guided in two substantially tubular-shaped guide channels and is deflected or turned between such guide channels by means of a driven chain or sprocket wheel. At its circumference the chain wheel possesses a profiled structure formed by recesses or depressions which substantially correspond to the profile or outer contour of the universal link chain. The guide channels extend to the circumference of the chain wheel and form in conjunction therewith a respective transfer or transition region. At each such transfer region the chain wheel protrudes by an amount, essentially corresponding to the depth of the recesses, into the interior of the related guide channel. At such transfer or transition regions the chain links are guided both by the chain wheel and the guide channels. Consequently, there is ensured for a gentle and jerk-free transfer of the chain links from the chain or sprocket wheel to the guide channels and vice versa.
