Title: System and method for preserving multicast data forwarding during control failures in a router
Inventor: WINDISCH KURT J
IPC: H04J3/26
Filed: 2005-07-20
Abstract: A multicast non-stop forwarding (NSF) router architecture enhances high availability of a multicast router (400) in a computer network. The router architecture further preserves multicast data forwarding through a data plane (470) during NSF recovery of one or more failures in a control plane (410) of the router(400). Various multicast components of the router (400) cooperate to provide a checkpointing and recovery technique of the multicast NSF  architecture that enables efficient restart and recovery of the control plane failures without loss of data connectivity. In addition, a technique prevents multiple multicast forwarders from forwarding multicast packets for a route over a link in a computer network during NSF recovery of one or more failures in a control plane (410) of a multicast router (400).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for coordinating the time at which a mobile station (5) performs searches for alternative systems to which a hard handoff will occur. In one system which includes the present invention, the mobile station (5) receives a command which instructs the mobile station (5) as to when to tune to alternative frequencies in order to search for indications of the presence of an alternative system. In another system which includes the present invention, predetermined times are defined with respect to a reference point in time that is common to both an origination base station (10) and a mobile station (5).  The mobile station (5) tunes to alternative frequencies to perform searches only during these predetermined times. In addition, the mobile station (5) coordinates the transmission of reports which indicate the results of searches for alternative systems such that these reports are only transmitted from the mobile station (5) when the mobile station (5) is tuned to the origination frequency.

IPC: G05B19/418
Filed: 2006-04-11
Abstract: In a flexible manufacturing system (FMS), a shelving module of a work cell is fitted with a dedicated lift conveying mechanism so that work materials of desired sizes may be retrieved individually from different shelves or cassettes of the shelving module for conveyance to the machine(s) of the work cell. By having its own dedicated lift conveying mechanism that operates independently from the transport system that transports raw materials to the different work cells of the FMS, the operation of each work cell becomes unaffected by the transport system. As such, for each of the work cells, materials may be fed piecemeal to a machine of the cell for fabrication, if so desired. In the meantime, the various shelves of the shelving module, and other shelving modules, may continue to be re-stocked by the transport system.  Any material remnants that prior to the instant invention would have been wasted may be returned to the appropriate shelves of the shelving module for future use by the lift conveying mechanism.
