Patent CA-2333155-C (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for multiplexing bytes over parallel communication links using data slices
Inventor: MILLIKEN WALTER C
IPC: H04J3/00
Filed: 1999-02-18
Granted: 2009-12-29
Abstract: A communication technique for transmitting packet data over parallel communication sublinks (202, 302) coupled to a processor unit (110) is provided. Initially, a method receives a packet of data from a first communication link which is coupled to a set of sublinks (116). The method distributes packets over each of the sublinks (116) utilizing a unique byte-by-byte (BBB) striping technique. Logically, the data bytes associated with each sublink (116) are collected into a slice of data and each set of slices are given a unique predetermined label. Each slice is then synchronously transmitted at the aggregate bandwidth of each sublink (116) in parallel across each corresponding sublink (116) to a receiver (120). A receiver (120) receives the slices of data from the set of sublinks (116) and aggregates the bandwidth of these two or more communication sublinks (116) into a single communication link. Unless there are errors, a packet is transmitted in order using multiple slices. The system recreates the original packet of data from sets of slices having the same unique label.  Specifically, the system uses the byte-by-byte striping technique to extract the appropriate bytes of information from each slice received over the parallel sublinks (116) based upon a predetermined sublink sequence corresponding to the labels. This technique is advantageous in that it provides an optimal balance between preserving packet order and conserving network resources.

Abstract: Upon cleaning of a relatively heavy liquid from small amounts of relatively light liquid the liquids are first introduced into a container (1), in which the light liquid is allowed to collect on the surface of the heavy liquid. Then a surface layer of the liquid body (4) in the container (1), constituting a mixture of the two liquids, is brought to flow over an overflow outlet member (14) into a collecting chamber (15). From the collecting chamber (15) the liquid mixture is pumped further on to a centrifugal separator, from where cleaned relatively heavy liquid is returned to the container (1). According to the invention the liquid mixture is pumped from the collecting chamber (15) to the centrifugal separator by means of a pumping member (17), which is connected with the rotor (16) of the centrifugal separator and, thus, rotates therewith. Hereby, the cleaning operation in question may be performed by means of a simple and non-expensive device.

Abstract: A heated volatile dispenser and a volatile carrier for use therewith are disclosed. The volatile dispenser has a closed heating chamber having ceiling and exit vents. A fuel burner is contained within the heating chamber, and a carrier holder is positioned over the fuel burner. The carrier holder holds a volatile carrier in a location above the fuel burner such that hot gases from the fuel burner pass the carrier holder and directly heat a volatile carrier held thereby. The volatile carrier may be held in an edge-on orientation with respect to the flow of hot gases, or transversely with respect to them. The volatile carrier has an inward end that has a cross-sectional profile made to be complementary to that of an insert slot through which the volatile carrier must be inserted for use. An alternative embodiment is shown that uses a candle as a fuel burner. A kit is shown that includes a candle and a volatile carrier that are designed to be exhausted at the same time so that the candle's consumption serves as a use-cue for the volatile carrier.      Methods of dispensing volatiles are disclosed.
