Inventor: CAVES KEITH
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2001-02-15
Abstract: In a communications network, a virtual channel connection is established between first arid second nodes in a communications network using a negotiating procedure to determine a mutually acceptable path identifier. The first node sends a connection request to the second node incorporating a path identifier for a virtual channel to be used for the connection. The second node determines whether the path identifier is acceptable for establishing the connection, and if so returns an acceptance message. If the path identifier is not acceptable to the second node, this node returns a negotiation request message incorporating a new path identifier for an alternative virtual channel to be used for the connection.

Filed: 1999-09-17
Abstract: An efficient and powerful engine is obtained by incorporating within an engi ne housing (2) at least one cylinder (8, 10) which is rotatable along the inner  circumferential surface of the housing (2). The cylinder (8, 10) is mounted to a crank case (6). A piston rod extends from piston (54, 56) and is moveable longitudinally within the cylinder (8, 10). The piston rod (16) in turn is connected to a crankshaft (18). Thus, when the engine is powered, both the cylinder (8, 10) and the crankshaft (18) can rotate, either in the same direction or in opposite directions. An exhaust opening (32) is provided at a location substantially at the top portion of the cylinder (8, 10). A corresponding exhaust port (30) is provided in the housing (2), so that when  the cylinder (8, 10) is rotated to the particular location along the housing  (2), its exhaust opening (32) comes into alignment with the exhaust port (30 ) of the housing (2) so that the exhaust gases resulting from the combustion i n the cylinder (8, 10) are evacuated directly outside of the housing (2). A ge ar mechanism converts the rotational movement of either the cylinder (8, 10), t he crankshaft (18), or a combination of both, to drive the vehicle, or power generating device, to which the engine is adapted.
