Abstract: A resource scheduler in a communication system, the communication system including a common node and a plurality of customer nodes associated with the common node, the common node having at any particular service interval a finite resource seized by one or more engaging customer nodes to the exclusion of any remaining customer nodes, each of the customer nodes having an instantaneous rate of consuming the finite resource. The resource scheduler comprises logic for maintaining a weight associated with each of the customer nodes; logic for selecting one or more of the remaining customer nodes to seize the finite resource in a subsequent service interval based upon a comparison of the weight associated with the selected remaining customer nodes and the respective weights associated with the other remaining customer nodes, the subsequent service interval following a present service interval in which the finite resources are seized by one or more engaging customer nodes; and logic for changing the weight of the selected customer node based upon the instantaneous rate at which the selected customer node consumes the finite resource. The resource scheduler further includes logic for determining a duration of an override time interval, the override time interval having a beginning and an end, associated with at least one customer node based upon a minimum average rate of consuming the finite resource associated with the at least one customer node and the instantaneous rate of consuming the finite resource associated with the at least one customer node; and logic for initializing the override time interval whenever the at least one customer node seizes the finite resource and whenever the override time interval ends, wherein the logic for selecting schedules the at least one customer node to seize the finite resource in the subsequent service interval independent of the weights associated with the customer nodes when each override time interval ends. A corresponding method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A PBX (10) is connected to a mobile telephony network (40) via a PSTN (20) and via a LAN (90) and data network (30). A mobile telephone (50) served by the mobile network, has a separate data channel (100). The invention describes a way to integrate mobile telephones as extensions of the PBX and to provide them with functionality similar to that of a wired digital PBX system telephone (70). The data channel of the mobile telephone is used to give the PBX access to the user interface devices of the telephone. The speech path between the PBX and the mobile telephone may be set up in the direction from the PBX to the mobile telephone, even when the call was initiated at the telephone. The invention relies only on the basic voice and data communications services of the mobile telephony network, and therefore provides independence from the network operator.

Abstract: The present invention aims to allow an arbitrary selection to be made between gas operation and diesel operation, to achieve a reduction in NOx even when in diesel operation, to allow the compression ratio to be adjusted and altered in accordance with the operating state when in gas operation, to allow quick starting, and to perform operations at a high combustion efficiency over the entire load range. The dual fuel engine of the present invention is provided with a precombustion chamber unit, which is located in the cylinder head of the dual fuel engine, having a precombustion chamber and an electromagnetic fuel injection valve (a liquid fuel injection valve) and also with a compression ratio control valve. The compression ratio control valve opens and closes an air passage that connects the main combustion chamber with an intake port. In gas operation, the valve opening time of the compression ratio control valve is adjusted in accordance with the operating state, and the compression is adjusted by allowing a portion of the air gas mixture inside the main combustion chamber to escape to the intake port. Fuel gas is ignited by a pilot quantity of liquid fuel from the electromagnetic fuel injection valve and is then combusted. In diesel operation, the compression ratio control valve is closed and liquid fuel injected at a high compression ratio from the electromagnetic fuel injection valve is combusted by a precombustion method. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A suction gas guiding (100) system for a reciprocating compressor (30) includes a gas guide conduit (110) penetrating an inner stator of a reciprocating motor and having both ends installed on a suction pipe (50) of a shell (10) and on an inner flowing passage of a piston (31) so as to guide the sucked gas inside the shell (10) to the inner flowing passage, whereby the refrigerant gas is sucked into the inner flowing passage of the piston through the gas guide conduit smoothly, and accordingly, the suction rate of the refrigerant gas is increased. Therefore the efficiency of the compressor (30) is increased. In addition, noise and vibration generated when the refrigerant gas is sucked are attenuated in the resonant spaces, and therefore the flow resistance against the noise and the gas, whereby the reliability and efficiency of the compressor is increased.
