Abstract: The present invention relates to a system ( 10 ), method and terminal ( 14 ) for measuring the quality of service or QoS for services, for example, of the Internet type in which a telecommunications network ( 12 ) supports the delivery of the services by a server ( 16 ). The system ( 10 ) and the corresponding method allow to collect by means of the network ( 12, 18, 20 ) the QoS information, in particular information of insufficient QoS, to identify the causes of insufficient QoS and to discriminate in the attribution of said causes among the terminal ( 14 ), the server ( 16 ) or the network itself ( 12 ). The terminal ( 14 ) in addition to generating "objective" information about the QoS, such as the time for downloading a Web page, dimensions of the Web page and number of objects composing the page, is also able to generate "subjective" information, indicative of the actual QoS perceived by a user of the terminal ( 14 ).

Abstract: In a selective catalytic reduction process for automotive exhaust emissions, dry urea pellets (2) are released from a hopper (1) outlet (14) into a pipe (7). The hopper base zone has a compressed air supply (6) that expels pellets to an outlet. The pellet release is regulated by a portioning disc (15).  Also claimed is a commensurate assembly in which a supply of pellets is held in a storage hopper at the base of which is a rotating disc powered by a motor (4). The disc has a hole that is initially closed at its base by a fixed panel, and subsequently rotates to a position in which it is linked at the top to a supply of compressed air at a point when it is over an outlet. In the open presentation, a loose single pellet drops into the hole, which then rotates to a point over the outlet where it is expelled through the outlet (7) tube. The pellet is then heated and converted to ammonia gas.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods that remove echo from a signal via a novel echo cancellation technique that supports arbitrary playback sampling rates. The novel echo cancellation technique transforms a playback signal to a frequency domain representation and converts its sampling rate to a sampling rate of a frequency domain transformed received signal for the appropriate number of frequency bins. This conversion is achieved via an exact or interpolated approached. The re-sampled playback signal transform is then utilized in connection with the received signal transform to remove echo associated with the playback signal from the received signal.

Abstract: A system for scheduling utilization of a service resource by a plurality of flows of information packets, wherein the flows include rate-guaranteed synchronous flows and best-effort asynchronous flows, the asynchronous flows exploiting the service capacity of the resource left unexploited by the synchronous flows. A server visits the flows, in subsequent rounds, by visiting first the synchronous flows followed by the asynchronous flows. The server is configured for detecting any backlogged synchronous flow, and when the server visits any said backlogged synchronous flow, it allows the backlogged synchronous flow to utilize the resource for a given time, whereby the synchronous flows have a guaranteed transmission window on each round. When the server visits any asynchronous flow, the time elapsed since the last visit by the server to the same asynchronous flow is determined. If the visit to the asynchronous flow occurs later than expected based on a reference round time, the asynchronous flow being visited is restrained from utilizing the resource for the ongoing round, and if the visit occurs earlier than expected based on the reference round time the asynchronous flow being visited is allowed to utilize the resource for a respective given time.
