Abstract: Method and System for the improvement of the QoS support in de-centrally organized wireless networks. The IEEE 802.11 is enhanced so that the effects of contention of traffic classes with the same priority, that are competing for access to the transmission medium is reduced, thus guaranteeing QoS requirements. Stations that want to transmit, will begin transmission of an signal once they sense that the transmission medium is idle. This signal is transmitted for a number of time slots depending on the priority of the traffic class the station wants to transmit. Once this transmission is over the stations will again sense the medium. If it is busy the stations will resign from transmitting and wait till the next access cycle. If the medium is idle, then the stations will perform a random back-off and then begin to transmit. This random back-off is used to avoid any contention between stations that have the same traffic class priority as the station with the lowest random back-off will begin to transmit first. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system and method for transferring heat requires a supply tube connected in fluid communication with a capillary tube. A tip member is positioned to surround the distal end of the capillary tube to create a cryo-chamber. In operation, a liquid refrigerant is introduced into the supply tube at a working pressure (e.g. 450 psia). The pressure is then significantly reduced on the liquid refrigerant as it transits through the capillary tube. The refrigerant then exits the distal end of the capillary tube, still in its liquid state. Inside the cryo-chamber, at a pressure of less than about one atmosphere, the refrigerant transitions into its gaseous state. The resultant refrigeration causes heat to transfer into the cryo-chamber. <IMAGE>
