Title: Apparatus for the humidification of the air in a cabin of a passenger or cargo aircraft
Inventor: DECHOW MARTIN
IPC: B05B1/24
Filed: 2005-05-11
Abstract: A humidification apparatus which makes possible individual humidification of the air in a cabin of a passenger or cargo aircraft makes available a conditioning fluid to be ejected into the cabin from an outlet nozzle (10).  The conditioning fluid contains as a component water which is sprayed at a spraying point in very close spatial association with the outlet nozzle (10).

Title: Device for protecting metallic surfaces from condensates of high-temperature corrosive media in technical installations
Inventor: GROSS RENE
IPC: F27D1/00
Filed: 2005-07-26
Abstract: The supporting structure of a technical installation made from a material that is not resistant to corrosion and whose inner wall at least temporarily contains a corrosive and abrasive gas-vapor mixture and is protected from acid corrosion by a gas-vapor mixture barrier. This barrier is either placed between a refractory coating (6) and a thermal insulating layer (7) or is integrated into the refractory layer (6) or in the thermal insulating layer (7). The mechanical protection from the permeation of the gas-vapor mixture though the thermal insulation (7) up to the inner wall of the supporting structure allows a thermal insulating material to be selected that has a distinctly reduced thermal conductivity and thus allows the temperature on the exterior of the supporting structure to be lowered reducing energy consumption and improving occupational safety.

Title: Corrosion-resistant abs tone ring
Inventor: REDGRAVE CHRIS
IPC: F16D65/12
Filed: 2005-11-08
Abstract: A tone ring of a vehicle anti-lock braking system of the type that is integrated into a disc brake rotor. The tone ring has a protective layer which enables it to withstand the combination of extreme heat and harsh environmental conditions to which it is exposed during operation of the vehicle. The protective layer is applied by thermally spraying a selected one of a plurality of materials, such as a nickel-based alloy, a high-chrome stainless steel, or non-ferrous materials such as an aluminum, copper-based alloys or a ceramic, on teeth of the tone ring, and without causing the protective layer to be deposited on the rotor braking surfaces. The protective layer generally prevents the formation of oxidation and corrosion byproduct layers on the teeth, to thereby maintain sensitivity for detection of teeth movement by the anti-lock braking system sensor during operation of the system.

Title: Data flow control with duplicate acknowledgment
Inventor: LUDWIG REINER
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2004-12-22
Abstract: A method of controlling the flow of an amount of data from a sending peer to a receiving peer of a predetermined communication protocol is described. The method comprises dividing the amount of data into a plurality of data segments, where the data segments are ordered in a sequence. The segments are sent to the receiving peer in the order of said sequence. The receiving peer acknowledges the correct receipt of a data segment and identifies the last correctly received data segment of the sequence that was received in the proper order of the sequence. The sending peer is arranged such that if it receives a threshold number of duplicate acknowledgements, it performs a retransmission. The threshold number that trigger a retransmission is an adaptive parameter determined based on the size of a receive window, the size of the receive window representing a number of data segments which can be stored in a buffer space at the receiving peer.
