Patent CA-2344911-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DAUDELIN DOUGLAS STREETER
IPC: H04L12/42
Filed: 2001-04-24
Abstract: An error-correcting communication protocol is provided which is implemented within a network communication system. The network communication system includes at least one transmission medium connecting a plurality of communicating endpoints, i.e., devices or units. The protocol provides for error-corrected transmission of packets sent to either single or multiple endpoints, e.g., broadcast packets. According to the protocol, each transmitting endpoint separates its traffic, e.g., data packets, to be transmitted into distinct queues. The packet at the head of one queue is transmitted, and no other packet is transmitted until a transmit complete signal is generated.  There is only one incomplete transmission from a given transmitting endpoint at any time.  When a packet is received without error and accepted by a destination endpoint, the destination endpoint immediately returns an acknowledgment indicating successful reception to the transmitting endpoint. The transmit complete signal is generated at the transmitting endpoint at a time when any receiver acknowledgment should have been received by the transmitting endpoint. When the transmit complete signal is processed by the transmitting endpoint, if a receiver acknowledgment indicating successful reception has been received, the packet previously sent is removed from the head of its queue. Otherwise, the packet is left at the head of its queue, the queue is placed in a "pending retry" state, and a short, "pending retry" timer is started (unless the "pending retry" timer has been started because of a pending retry for another queue). In either event, another packet is transmitted from the head of a queue not in the "pending retry"  state, if there is any. When the "pending retry" timer expires, all queues are moved out of the "pending retry" state, enabling their packets to be transmitted again. A sequence number consisting of at least one bit may be used for all transmissions from the same queue, and checked by the destination endpoint, so that duplicate packets due to lost receiver acknowledgments may be discarded by the destination endpoint.

Abstract: An audio encoder applies an adaptive block-encoding process to segments of audio information to generate frames of encoded information that are aligned with a reference signal conveying the alignement of a sequence of video information frames. The audio information is analized to determine various characteristics of the audio signal such as the occurence and location of a transient, and a control signal is generated that causes the adaptive block-encoding process to encode segments of varying length. A complementary decoder applies an adaptive block-decoding process to recover the segments of audio information from the frames of encoded information.  In embodiments that apply time-domain aliasing cancellation (TDAC) transforms, window functions and transforms are applied according to one of a plurality of segment patterns that define window functions and transform parameters for each segment in a sequence of segments.  The segments in each frame of a sequence of overlapping frames may be recovered without aliasing artifacts independently from the recovery of segments in other frames. Window functions are adapted to provide preferred frequency-domain responses and time-domain gain profiles.

IPC: B60L50/16

Abstract: This invention is a method and system for cooling  Hybrid Electric Vehicle ("HEV") components. The present invention cools HEV components, including an A/C system, an  Internal Combustion Engine and its associated parts, an electric drive system and its associated parts, including an inverter, a DC/DC Converter, a generator motor, and a traction motor. Cooling these components is accomplished by implementing a cooling system that is comprised of fluid filled cooling loops, radiators, fans, pumps, an air conditioning condenser and a controller. The pumps move the fluid through the cooling loops, allowing the fluid to absorb heat from the components and vent through the radiators with help from the fan's airflow. The controller monitors component temperature data by measuring actual component temperature or corresponding coolant temperature and compares the component temperature data to a calibratable threshold to determine whether the fan should operate. By controlling fan speed, the controller regulates airflow across the radiator and air condenser, to maintain coolant temperature, and subsequently component temperatures within acceptable parameters.

Title: Chemical sensor with block copolymer coatings
Inventor: SHINAR RUTH
IPC: C09D153/00
Filed: 2002-01-30
Abstract: Block copolymer or graft copolymer coatings and blends of block copolymers or graft copolymers with homopolymers and resins are used as a chemical absorption layer on a high performance, mass-sensitive, acoustic wave-based sensing device. The use of block copolymer coating materials containing polymer blocks with high and low glass transition temperatures within the same molecule allows for tailoring of the absorption and physical characteristics of the absorptive layer on a sensor. The coatings form a composition that exhibits the necessary physical properties for use as the absorptive coating in an acoustic wave-sensing device. These materials have favorable acoustic properties over extended temperature ranges, resulting in a wider operating temperature range for acoustic wave-based sensing of volatile organic compounds. Moreover, the improved acoustic properties enable thicker coatings to be used, which increases the detection sensitivity of the sensor.

Inventor: MA JIAN
IPC: H04L12/801
Filed: 1999-04-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling overload in a packet- switched network, especially a mobile or wireless network where the transmission control protocol (TCP) is used as the transport layer protocol.  A congestion notification information is added to a data packet following a da ta packet lost due to a buffer overflow. This is an effective way to improve TC P performance in wireless and mobile networks, since congestion control can be  performed completely independent from retransmissions. The proposed mechanis m provides a simple way of introducing TCP congestion avoidance control strategies into wireless and mobile networks. In addition, the congestion notification information should be added at least not later than a threshold  number of following packets to thereby fasten the rate of congestion control  initiation and loss recovery due to congestion.
