Title: Method and apparatus for providing guaranteed quality/class of service within and across networks using existing reservation protocols and frame formats
Inventor: RUNDQUIST WILLIAM A
IPC: H04L12/50
Filed: 1999-11-18
Granted: 2006-01-31
Abstract: A method and apparatus provide reserved bandwidth and QOS/COS virtual circuit connections in a network using both conventional and novel reservation protocols and frame formats. An apparatus according to the invention includes an enterprise control point that communicates with switches via a reserved signaling channel. The switches have been upgraded or replaced to include enhanced functionality. The enhanced switched detect packets that include requests for reserved connections according to existing reservation protocols such as RSVP and IEEE 802.1P/Q.      Such detected packets are forwarded to the enterprise control point for processing via a reserved signaling channel.      The enterprise control point identifies a path within the network that can satisfy the requested QOS/COS and reserves the requested resources all along the path from beginning to end.

Title: Control system and method and engine control unit for internal combustion engine
Inventor: UEDA KAZUHIRO
IPC: F02B17/00
Filed: 2001-08-06
Granted: 2006-09-12
Abstract: There are provided a control system and method and an engine control unit for an internal combustion engine, which are capable of attaining a high combustion efficiency in both of a homogenous and a stratified combustion modes, thereby improving drivability and fuel economy, as well as a control system for an internal combustion engine which is capable of ensuring stable combustion in both the modes.      In one form of the invention, the control system includes an ECU for controlling ignition timing IG of an in-cylinder fuel injection type engine which is operated while switching the combustion mode between the homogeneous and stratified combustion modes. The ECU determines which of the homogeneous and stratified combustion modes should be selected. The ECU sets a first ignition timing for the homogenous combustion mode and a second ignition timing for the stratified combustion mode to respective values different from each other, and at the same time sets the first ignition timing for the homogeneous combustion mode such that the first ignition timing for the homogeneous combustion mode is more retarded as the detected engine temperature is higher. In another form of the invention, the ECU determines combustion parameters for the homogeneous and stratified combustion modes based on detected load on the engine. The ECU determines an ignition timing for the homogenous combustion mode based on the detected load, and an ignition timing for the stratified combustion mode based on the fuel injection termination timing for the stratified combustion mode.

Title: Coordinating persistent status information with multiple file servers
Inventor: SCHOENTHAL SCOTT
IPC: G06F11/20
Filed: 1999-07-28
Granted: 2009-11-17
Abstract: The invention provides a storage system, and a method for operating a storag e system, that provides for relatively rapid and reliable takeover among a plurality of independent file servers. Each file server maintains a reliable communication path to the others. Each file server maintains its own state in reliable memory. Each file server regularl y confirms the state of the other file servers. Each file server labels messages on the redundant communication paths, so as to allow other file servers to combine the redundant communication paths into a single ordered stream of messages. Each file server maintains its own state in its persistent memory and compares that state with the ordered stream of messages, so as to determine whether other file server s have progressed beyond the file server's own last known state. Each file server uses the shared resources (such as magnetic disks) themselves as part of the redundant communication paths, so as to prevent mutual attempts at takeover of resources when each file server believes the other to have failed. Each file server provides a status report to the others when recovering from an error, so as to prevent the possibility of multiple file servers each repeatedly failing and attempting to seize the resources of the others.

Filed: 2002-06-26
Granted: 2012-01-03
Abstract: Compositions and methods of preparing functional thin films or surface coatings (100) with low non-specific binding are described. The thin films contain specified functional groups and non-specific binding repellant components. The thin films are either covalently bound to or passively adsorbed to various solid substrates (102). The specified functional group (110) provides specified activity for the thin film modified solid surfaces and non-specific binding repellant components (104) significantly reduce the non-specific binding to the thin film modified solid surfaces. Non-specific binding repellant components do not affect specified functional group's activity in the thin films. In these methods, specified functional groups are anchored to the solid substrates through a spacer (114). Surface coatings are also described having both non-specific protein binding properties combined with functional groups for specific binding activity thereby providing surface coating that specifically recognize target proteins but limit binding to non-specific protein.
