Title: Method and system for burst congestion control in an atm network
Inventor: PATHAK GIRISH
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1999-06-25
Abstract: A method and system for controlling congestion in an ATM network (160) comprises the steps of pre-allocating, for a pre-determined interval of time, a set of burst access parameters to a set of pre-allocated virtual paths between a set of source node (100a-100c) and destination node (100a-100c) pairs in the ATM network (160), and controlling, at the burst level, the traffic at each source node based on the pre-allocated set of burst access parameters and without communicating with other nodes in the ATM network (160). Specifically, the network (160), for a pre-determined interval of time, pre-allocates a set of virtual paths between each source-destination node (100a-100c) pair in the network (160), pre-allocates a set of maximum permitted rates to the pre-allocated set of virtual paths, respectively, and pre-assigns a set of burst access thresholds to a set of service classes, respectively, in the pre-allocated virtual paths, where the pre-assigned burst access thresholds are less than or equal to the corresponding pre-allocated maximum permitted rates. Based on the maximum permitted rates and the burst access thresholds, each source node (100a-100c) in the network (160) then controls, at the burst level, the traffic directed to the source node without communicating with other nodes (100a-100c) in the network (160).  A source node (100a-100c) admits a detected burst onto a pre-allocated virtual path when a total reserved peak cell rate for all bursts that are in progress in the pre-allocated virtual path plus a peak cell rate of the detected burst is less than the identified burst access threshold. Otherwise, the source node (100a-100c) rejects the detected burst from the network (160).

Abstract: A vehicle battery (108) monitoring system and method that computes (100) dynamic internal and polarization resistences (IR and PR) from battery voltage (112) and current drain (110) during engine start. The quiescent voltage (QV) at a current drain of from O to a predetermined amount is also measured (S131) and the battery state-of-charge is computed (S133). Also predicted is the time during which the battery can still start the engine (S330-S340), and the minimum ambient temperature at which it will be able to do so (S420, S424, S426). Appropriate messages can be displayed to alert the driver of any potential problems (S239, S243, S273, S422).

Title: Tablet comprising basic composition and particle comprising core and envelope
Inventor: WASCHENBACH GUIDO
IPC: C11D17/00
Filed: 1999-07-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a composition for use in a dishwasher which is provided in the form of a tablet.  The inventive composition is characterized by a base composition which essentially carries out its function during the main cleaning cycle of the dishwasher, and is also characterized by at least one particle. Said particle has at least one core that comprises at least one substance which essentially carries out its function during the rinse cycle of the dishwasher. The particle also has a coating which, for the most part, completely surrounds the core(s). Said coating comprises at least one compound whose solubility increases with a declining concentration of a specific ion in the surrounding medium. The at least one particle is arranged in or on the tablet in such a way that the surface of the particle(s) is, at most, partially in direct contact with the surface of the base composition surrounding this/these particles. In order to prevent the coating from substantially dissolving or to prevent the coating from substantially detaching from the core(s), the concentration of the specific ion in the local surrounding of the particle(s) is sufficiently high until the tablet has, for the most part, completely dissolved. The invention also relates to a method for conducting a dishwashing cycle in a dishwasher while using the inventive composition.

Title: Alarm correlation in a large communications network
Inventor: GOSSELIN NICOLAS
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1999-09-24
Abstract: A system and method of correlating alarms from a plurality of network elements (NEs) in a large communications network. A plurality of uncorrelated alarms are collected by an alarm collector (11) from alarm reporters (12). An alarm correlator (15) then partitions the alarms into correlated alarm clusters (61-63) such that alarms of one cluster have a high probability that they are caused by one network fault. The partitioning of the alarms is performed by creating alarm sets, expanding the alarm sets into alarm domains, and merging the alarm domains into alarm clusters if predefined conditions are met. The sets are formed by selecting an alarmed NE at the highest network hierarchy level which is not tagged, finding all of its contained NEs, and finding NEs that are peer-related to those contained NEs that are in an alarmed state (31-39). The sets are expanded into domains by finding NEs that are not in an alarmed state which contain the highest level alarmed NE in each alarm set (41-47). The domains are merged into one alarm cluster if the two domains have at least one common NE, at least one of the common NEs is not tagged, and the majority of the NEs contained by the non-tagged common NE are in an alarmed state (51-59).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for looking up a key associated with a packet to determine a route through a routing device, the method including, upon receipt of a key, forward traversing one or more nodes which make up a trie stored in a memory by evaluating at each node traversed a bit in the key as indicated by a bit-to-test indicator associated with each node. A value of the bit in the key determining the path traversed along the trie. The method includes locating an end node having a route and comparing the route to the key. If they match, destination information associated with the end node is outputted to guide the transfer of the packet through the routing device.      If they do not match, the trie is traversed backwards to locate a best match for the key.

Filed: 2000-07-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to enabling and optimizing call setup in a telecommunication network with separated call control and bearer control, i.e., payload transmission. The separation of call control and payload transmission means that the signaling between control nodes like mobile services switching centres, GMSCs and TSCs takes a different route through the network than the payload. This enables the telecommunication network to perform an optimal routing for the payload, using a minimum of resources.  Depending on the call case, originating call, terminating call, internal call or transit call, there are only one or maximally two media gateway necessary.
