Title: System for relieving overburdened postal sorting equipment
Inventor: BREHM CHRISTOPHER SCOTT
IPC: B07C3/00
Filed: 2001-11-06
Granted: 2006-03-21
Abstract: A solution is provided to the technical problem of postal sorting equipment overburdened by medium-sized batches of unsorted mail. The solution identifi es and diverts such batches for processing at a separate facility before the batch is tendered to the postal service. The batches may be placed in containers that are pooled together with others for pre-sorting. The inventi on further provides a method and system for collecting relatively small batches of mail that, alone would not qualify for mailing at a pre-sorted postage ra te and pooling them together with others for pre-sorting into a qualified batch of pre-sorted mail. The mail may be metered at a reduced program rate. The system creates a cooperative of participating mail senders working together to earn a lower effective postage rate.

Title: Routing method and apparatus for optimising auto-tunnelling in a heterogeneous network
Inventor: CANNING TERENCE
IPC: H04L12/46
Filed: 2003-08-20
Granted: 2014-12-09
Abstract: In the preferred embodiment, the invention provides a modified Shortest Path First routing algorithm for use in a heterogeneous network. The routing algorithm is modified to include predetermined heterogeneous characteristics of the network nodes and to take these characteristics into account when calculating the shortest paths. For example, information may be included in the algorithm which identifies heterogeneous network nodes as it calculates shortest paths. Once a node has been identified as heterogeneous, i.e., capable of supporting at least two protocol sets, this information is carried over into subsequent path entries created by the routing algorithm. The algorithm then uses the encapsulation capability identifier in the calculation of the shortest paths by including the cost of auto-tunneling between heterogeneous nodes to be taken into account when determining the short path.
