Title: Electronic shelf label system
Inventor: MATSUSHITA NAOHIRO
IPC: G06F3/147
Filed: 2001-04-03
Abstract: An electronic shelf label (ESL) (12-1 to 12-n)
transmits a negative response to a radio relay station
(13-1 to 13-k) by means of weak radio waves if it
failed to normally receive price information. On the
other hand, the ESL (12-1 to 12-n) transmits no
response if it failed to normally receive both ID
information and price information. The radio relay
station (13-1 to 13-k) transmits to a radio
communication base station (16) ID information of the
ESL which transmitted no response and ID information of
the ESL which transmitted the negative response. The
radio communication base station (16) transfers the
received ID information to an electronic shelf label
(ESL) server (14). The ESL server (14) re-transmits
via the radio communication base station (16)
information to the ESL which transmitted no response
and the ESL which transmitted the negative response.

Abstract: In a torque converter(T/C) speed ratio calculation section (32),
the speed ratio in a torque converter is determined from the
revolution speed of the engine (Ne) and the revolution speed of the
primary pulley (Np). A T/C torque ratio calculation section (34) then
calculates the torque ratio from the speed ratio. An input torque
estimation section (35) then estimates the input torque input into a
continuously variable transmission (1) from the above torque ratio
and the engine output torque determined by an engine torque
calculation section (31). The T/C speed ratio calculation section is
provided with a correction amount calculation section and
correction is performed such that the speed ratio when the
accelerator pedal is depressed is reduced in the direction in
which it is less than Np/Ne. As a result, because the disparity
with the real value of the speed ratio occurring in the dead time
of the respective revolution sensors can be decreased and the
input torque properly estimated, slippage between the V belt and
the variable pulley is prevented.

Inventor: DAUDELIN DOUGLAS STREETER
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2001-06-18
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.

first layer of insulative material to the resistor body to form a first contact region. A layer of
polysilicon is formed over the first insulative layer to define a field plate, the polysilicon field
plate being contiguous with the first contact region of the resistor and extending over the resistor
body to substantially to the other contact region, as layout, design, and fabrication rules permit.
A second insulative layer is formed over the polysilicon layer. Windows are created in the
second insulative layer to provide access to the polysilicon field plate and the second contact
region. A metal layer is applied and unwanted metal is etched away to provide conductors over
the polysilicon field plate of a field plated resistor having enhanced area thereover for routing
metal conductors formed in the same layer of metal as forms contacts to the resistor.

Abstract: An above deck unit for an AIS (automatic identification system)
is externally installed on a ship. The above deck unit includes
a radio circuit and an associated antenna for transmitting and
receiving a message, a position detector and an associated antenna,
associated controller and power supply, and a container for storing
theseelements. Aninboardtransmissionpath, e.g., acable, connects
the outdoor unit for the AIS and an AIS display serving as an interface
means for the crew. A signal to be transmitted through the inboard
transmission path is a processed, for example, an amplified signal,
rather than an unprocessed output of a VHF antenna. Therefore,
problems of signal loss or degradation along the inboard transmission
path are unlikely to occur. Because the unit is incorporated within
a single container, it can easily be installed and transferred.
With this antenna complex, it is also possible to suppress interference
between antennas.
