Abstract: An adaptive feedback technique is described for a Mobile IP environment in which Mobile IP mechanisms provide early feedback to mechanisms in the transport layer and/or application layer of a mobile node in response to detection of changes in link characteristics of the communication used by the mobile node to communicate with a data network. Using the early feedback information, appropriate measures may then be taken in order to accommodate the changes in link characteristics. Such appropriate measures may include, for example, providing feedback to media aware applications in order to allow such applications to dynamically adjust their bandwidth requirements to accommodate the new link characteristics, modifying timeout parameters, modifying an encoding formats to accommodate the new link characteristics, notifying participants in a real-time application session of the detected changes in the link characteristics, etc.

IPC: B29D30/00
Filed: 2003-10-29
Granted: 2007-12-12
Abstract: A method of making pneumatic tyres for vehicle wheels in which during building of the tyre on a toroidal support at least one step of a partial vulcanisation is introduced, the step enabling the overall production time to be reduced by lowering the overall time of the final moulding and vulcanisation step, while maintaining the features of the bead and the carcass ply/plies linked thereto as stated in the design specifications. More particularly, by building at least one carcass structure on the toroidal support and submitting the latter to a first vulcanisation step while exerting a pressure from the outside to the inside of the structure itself, an at least partly vulcanised carcass structure is obtained that is stable in its geometry and suitable for completing the tyre building. Subsequently, a second vulcanisation step accompanied by moulding of the tread band and the sidewalls allows a finished tyre in a more reduced overall period of time to be obtained.
