Abstract: An access router of a local mobile network includes a delegation resource for delegating address prefixes and a routing resource configured for parsing reverse routing headers from received data packets. The delegation resource supplies each mobile router attaching to the local mobile network with a corresponding unique delegated address prefix within an available network prefix for use within the local mobile network. Each mobile router attached to the access router via another mobile router utilizes a reverse routing header to establish a tunnel with the access router, enabling the access router to source route messages to the mobile router via its corresponding local care-of address and next-hop addresses specified in the reverse routing header. Each mobile router creates a remote care-of address based on the delegated address prefix, minimizing the need for binding updates with the corresponding home agent as the mobile router moves within the local mobile network.

Title: Synchronized data transfer system
Inventor: ROSE STEVEN W
IPC: H04N5/00
Filed: 2004-12-02
Abstract: A synchronized data transfer system (200) including storage processor nodes (103), a backbone communication switch 101, multiple titles subdivided into subchunks (113a) - (113e) and distributed across the nodes, a user process (207) executed on a first node (201), a transfer process (215) executed on a second node (203), and a management process (219) executed on a management node (205). The user process sends a timestamped read request to request a corresponding subchunk. The transfer process sends a message to the management process for each received read request, where each message identifies source and destination nodes. The management process broadcasts transmit commands to initiate sequential transmit periods, receives the messages, and selects from among the received messages to ensure that each node sends or receives only one subchunk during each transmit period. The management process sends a transmit request for each selected message, and the transfer process sends a subchunk identified by a transmit request in response to the transmit command.

Title: Water activated inflator for inflatable device and method of air deployment
Inventor: MEDFORD ED
IPC: B63C9/125
Filed: 2005-04-27
Abstract: The present invention relates to a water activated inflator and a method of air deployment of a water activated inflatable device. A gas cylinder opening device for opening a sealing mechanism of the gas cylinder is disposed in the housing movable along a first axis having a first orientation between a cocked position and a fired position. A tension mechanism provides tension acting along the first axis for moving the gas cylinder opening device from the cocked position to the fired position. A plunger is holding the gas cylinder opening mechanism in the cocked position. The plunger is movable along a second axis having a different second orientation between a first position and a second position. A water soluble element is holding the plunger in the first position. A first interacting surface of the gas cylinder opening device is disposed at a predetermined angle to the first axis. A second interacting surface of the plunger is in contact with the first interacting surface at the predetermined angle. The angle is determined such that a component along the second axis of a component of the tension acting onto the second interacting surface is within a predetermined range for ensuring structural integrity of the water soluble element in the cocked position and for ensuring movement of the plunger when at least a portion of the water soluble element is dissolved.  Using the water activated inflator in a rescue kit is highly beneficial for air rescue operations over a body of water by providing proper timing of the inflation shortly after impact.

Inventor: FIELD MATTHEW GIBSON
IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 2006-01-30
Abstract: The invention concerns a method of operating a motor vehicle powertrain comprising an infinitely variable transmission and an engine. The transmission comprises a rotary transmission input coupled to the engine, a rotary transmission output coupled to the vehicle wheels, a variator which provides a continuously variable ratio (the "variator ratio"), and gearing for coupling the variator between the engine and the transmission output in such a manner that the ratio of transmission output speed to transmission input speed (the "reciprocal transmission ratio") is a function of the variator ratio. The available range of variator ratios maps onto both forward and reverse reciprocal transmission ratios, and at a particular variator ratio (the "geared neutral ratio") the transmission output is stationary despite its being coupled through the transmission to the rotating transmission input.  Tthe comprises sustaining engine speed in a range of low reciprocal transmission ratios containing and extending to either side of geared neutral, by applying a drive torque demand to the engine even while the powertrain is operating in overrun.
