Abstract: A wireless network (100) comprises at least one access point
(104) and a plurality of wireless stations (102) which may
communicate with the access point. The access point (104)
generates and transmits a first frame (120) to the wireless
stations. The first frame (120) defines a time interval (124)
during which each of the wireless stations having data for
transmission may attempt to send a second frame (126). The
second frame (126) informs the access point (104) of the traffic
categories or streams the data belongs to and the time amounts
needed to transmit the data belonging to the indicated traffic
categories or traffic streams. The time interval (124) thus
defines a pre-designated time window during which only second
frames (126) used to request transmission times for buffered data
may be sent by wireless stations (102). The access point (104)
then may grant transmission times to those wireless stations
(102) that have indicated that they have data to transmit to
transmit their data in a controlled fashion. The first frame
(120) also defines a contention window from which the
transmission times of second frames (126) are derived,
randomized, and optimized. The first frame (120) may further
contain information about the wireless stations (102) from which
the second frames (126) were correctly received by the access
point (104) in the previous time interval during which second
frames were sent.

Abstract: A singulating conveyor (20) for aligning a mass of conveyed articles into a single file. The
conveyor (20) includes a first centering conveying zone (92) in which one or more roller-top conveyor
mats direct conveyed articles sidewise toward a side or the center of the zone. The rollers (38) on
which the articles ride rotate about axes (50,51) oblique to the conveying direction to provide a
sidewise component of motion to the articles. The articles are received downstream in a
second separation zone (94), in which the articles are sped up in the conveying direction to separate
them into a single file. The conveyor mats can be realized as endless conveyor belts in motion
or as stationary mats overlying a moving belt contacting and rotating the rollers.

Abstract: A method of automatic discovery of existing Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)
configuration in a bridged network is provided. The method includes steps of:
reconciling a data transport infrastructure in a data transport network; reconciling data
transport node configurations; gathering nodal VLAN configurations from all data
transport nodes; correlating the data transport infrastructure information, node
configuration information and nodal VLAN configurations; and extracting network-wide
provisioned VLAN configuration subject to discrepancies. A VLAN auto-discovery
application tool having human-machine interface is also provided. The VLAN auto-discovery
application tool is operable to initiate the VLAN auto-discovery process and
to display the discovered VLAN configuration. The VLAN auto-discovery human-machine
interface also is adapted to display a VLAN-specific provisioning status.
Advantages are derived from a centralized VLAN auto-discovery solution which
reduces VLAN provisioning overheads, enables fast recovery from Network
Management System (NMS) failures, reduces recovery times from network wide

Abstract: A method for producing aluminum nitride includes
preparing a slurry containing pseudoboemite and carbon,
filtrating and dehydrating the slurry to form a precursor,
and calcinating the obtained precursor in an atmosphere
containing nitrogen. The slurry is prepared by dispersing
a carbon powder in an aqueous solution having a pH adjusted
in a range of 8.5 to 9.5, and then synthesizing
pseudoboemite by using at least one of an aluminum salt and
aluminic acid as an aluminum source, while maintaining the
pH of the reaction mixture in a range of 8.5 to 9.5. The
aluminum nitrite obtained by the method has a three-dimensional
network structure and thus exhibits excellent
heat-conducting property and can be suitably used as a
filler for an electronic material.
