Abstract: Improved data transport and management within a network communication system may be achieved by utilizing a transmit timer incorporated within the sender device and exploiting host-level statistics for a plurality of connections between a sender and receiver. The period of the transmit timer may be periodically adjusted based on a ratio of the smoothed round-trip time and the smoothed congestion window, thereby reducing or eliminating bursty data transmission commonly associated with conventional TCP architectures. For applications having a plurality of connections between a sender and a receiver that share a common channel, such as web applications, the congestion window and smoothed round trip time estimates for all active connections may be used to initialize new connections and allocate bandwidth among existing connections. This aspect of the present invention may reduce the destructive interference that may occur as different connections compete with one another to maximize the bandwidth of each connection without regard to other connections serving the same application. Error recovery may also be improved by incorporating a short timer and a long timer that are configured to reduce the size of the congestion window and the corresponding transmission rate in response to a second packet loss with a predefined time period in order to increase resilience to random packet loss.

Abstract: A flexion gap instrument is configured to mate with a ligament tensioning tool, such as
known distraction devices and pivoting knee balancers. The instrument facilitates making
A/P resections in the femur for placement of a femoral prosthesis component to maintain
an optimum symmetric flexion gap, which will avoid the risk of medial or lateral laxity in
flexion, instability of articulating component dislocation. The instrument includes a base
that is configured to sit within the ligament tensioning device, and a vertically extending
upstanding portion that is configured to mate with a cutting block or other knee
arthroplasty instrument that must be positioned relative to the distal end of the femur. The
upstanding portion includes a measurement plate that bears a scale indicating a flexion gap
distance. The scale can be used to orient and align the cutting block in its proper position
relative to the distal end of the femur, and to orient the cutting block parallel with the tibial
plateau with the ligaments properly and equally tensed. In certain embodiments, a leaf
spring can be incorporated into the upstanding portion to help support the cutting block and
provide means for temporarily positioning the cutting block on the flexion gap instrument
without the need for additional or supplemental locks.

Abstract: A non-rotating electrodeless high-intensity discharge lamp
system using circularly polarized microwaves. 
     In an embodiment, the lamp system has a first
rectangular waveguide (1) to propagate linearly polarized
microwaves generated from a microwave source; an input circular
waveguide (2) linearly connected to the first rectangular
waveguide; a second rectangular waveguide (3) closed at an end
thereof, and perpendicularly connected to a circumferential
surface of the input circular waveguide; an elliptical
waveguide (4) linearly connected to the input circular
waveguide such that the major axis of the elliptical waveguide
is rotated to a predetermined angle relative to a horizontal
surface (or the wider surface) of the input rectangular
waveguide; a second circular waveguide (6) linearly connected
to the elliptical waveguide; and a discharge lamp (5) housed in
a mesh cover(7), and supported by the second circular waveguide
while being held on a reflecting mirror (9). The lamp system
thus effectively converts the linearly polarized microwaves
into the circularly polarized microwaves due to a geometrical
structure thereof caused by the angle at which the major axis
of the elliptical waveguide is rotated relative to the
horizontal surface of the input waveguide, thereby allowing the
circularly polarized microwaves to reach the discharge lamp.
