Patent EP-0719012-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HANSON RAYMOND H
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1995-12-01
Abstract: In a packet-based communications network (100), a virtual connection is established between a source node (102a) and a destination node (102b), which may traverse one or more intermediate nodes (105). During the flow of packets along the virtual connection in a forward direction, from the source node (102a) to the destination node (102b), each node measures the utilization of critical resources (CUF), and this utilization information is inserted into return packets flowing in the backward (return) direction, from the destination node (102b) to the source node (102b). CUF is indicative of the maximum utilization of any resource in the virtual connection forward path. If the network utilization information indicates that the resources of a virtual connection are under-utilized, the submission rate (SIR) of packets onto the virtual connection is increased. However, if the network utilization information indicates that the resources of the virtual connection are over-utilized, the submission rate of packets onto the network at the source node is reduced.

Abstract: This invention increases physical strength and promotes a healing effect by an article of personal adornment such as a garment, by the formation of a thicker portion (2 b ) at a portion corresponding to a meridian point of the human body, or by a cut-out portion or an open portion (3). It also prevents VDT-related disorders caused by weak electromagnetic waves by the insertion of salt, benzoic acid, or citric acid between a portion exposed to such waves and the human body. A thicker portion, protrusions, or a thinner portion (2 a ) is attached to an inner side of a garment (1 a ) at a portion corresponding to a human meridian point of the traditional medicine of the East-Asia. A therapeutic effect is obtained by temperature stimulus caused by such a thicker portion. A further therapeutic effect can be obtained by forming a cut-out portion or open portion to reduce the stimulus to the meridian point or skin. VDT-related disorders can be prevented by reducing the stimulus caused by weak electromagnetic waves on the meridian point or skin, by inserting salt, benzoic acid, or citric acid between a metal accessory and the body, or between a VDT and the body.

Abstract: An apparatus [10, 100] and method for measuring the thickness of a film [15] having top and bottom surface [26]s. The apparatus [10, 100] includes a first coupler for generating a first probe light signal and a second probe light signal from a low coherence light source [12]. The first probe light signal is directed toward the top surface [25] of the film [15] and the light leaving the top surface [25] of the film[15] is collected. Similarly, the second probe light signal is directed toward the bottom surface [26] of the film [15] and the light leaving the bottom surface [26] of the film [15] is also collected. Top and bottom partially reflecting reference surfaces are provided for generating reflections. The top reference surface [23,58] reflects part of the light leaving the top surface [25] back toward the top surface [25], and the bottom reference surface [24, 59] reflects light leaving the bottom surface [26] of the film[15] back toward the bottom surface [26] of the film [15]. The collected light is combined to form a collected light signal which is input to a receiver [18] that determines the time delay between light reflected from the top surface [25] of the film [15] and the top reference surface and between the bottom surface [26] of the film [15] and the bottom reference surface [24, 59]. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the receiver [18] is constructed from an optical autocorrelator or an optical spectrum analyzer that includes circuitry for providing the Fourier transform of the frequency domain spectrum measured from the collected light signal.

Abstract: The present invention is a reliable data link layer protocol to transport ATM cells over a wireless point-to-point link. The protocol ensures that the cells are transported reliably by use of a sliding window transport mechanism with selective repeat automatic repeat request (ARQ) and forward error correction (FEC). The protocol minimizes ATM header overhead by means of header compression and provides per-cell FEC whose size can be changed adaptively. The protocol also provides parity cells for recovery from errors that cannot be corrected using the per-cell FEC field. The number of these cells as well as the size of a window or frame can also be adaptively changed. In addition, the window can be terminated to request an immediate acknowledgment

Abstract: An electro-hydraulic operating system for an extensible boom (10) includes one or more hydraulic cylinders (TC1, TC2, TC3, TC2', TC3') for imparting relative motion between the boom sections (BS, IMS, CMS, OMS, FS) to retract the boom (10) according to an electronically stored program of sequences of movement and speeds. A source of pressurized hydraulic fluid (HT) is fed through appropriate control valves (MC, HV1, HV2, HV3, 50, V1) which include solenoid valves (V1, V2, V3) in fluid communication with a source of pressurized hydraulic fluid (HT). The solenoid control valves (MC, HV1, HV2, HV3, 50, V1) are supplied with control currents proportional to the desired flow rates of fluid to the hydraulic cylinders in order to achieve speed and position control according to the stored program. A metering valve (HV1, HV2, HV3) structure is provided for operation in conjunction with the solenoid control valves (MC, HV1, HV2, HV3, 50, V1). The metering valve (HV1, HV2, HV3) includes an associated pilot valve (52) which receives variable pressure signals from the solenoid control valves (MC, HV1, HV2, HV3, 50, V1) to achieve the metering of fluid to the hydraulic cylinders in proportion to the characteristics of the control current supplied to the solenoid valves (V1, V2, V3). The electrical control signals are such that the hydraulic cylinders (TC1, TC2, TC3, TC2', TC3') may move associated boom sections (BS, IMS, CMS, OMS, FS) at gradually increasing speeds during a starting period of any cycle of movement of the section, at a substantially constant speed during an intermediate period of movement and at a gradually decreasing speed during a stopping period preceding the end of the cycle of movement, thereby providing soft start and soft stop of the sections (BS, IMS, CMS, OMS, FS).

Abstract: Procédé d'usinage électrochimique d'une pièce électroconductrice (2) dans un électrolyte par application d'impulsions électriques bipolaires entre la pièce à usiner (2) et une électrode électroconductrice (6), une ou plusieurs impulsions de courant de polarité normale étant alternées avec des impulsions de tension de polarité opposée. L'amplitude (Un) des impulsions de tension est réglée entre deux valeurs prédéterminées (Un1, Un2) calculées à partir de l'apparition d'une qualité de surface donnée de la pièce à usiner (2) et de celle de l'usure de l'électrode (6). On effectue ce calcul au moyen d'au moins d'un essai précédant l'usinage de la pièce à usiner (2). Pendant cet essai, on augmente graduellement l'amplitude (Un) des impulsions de tension depuis une valeur initiale jusqu'à une valeur finale. On détermine les deux valeurs prédéterminées (Un1, Un2) lorsqu'apparaît une inversion de signe dans la différence entre les valeurs successives d'un paramètre représentant une propriété d'un entrefer (5) entre l'électrode (6) et la pièce à usiner (2). Ce paramètre peut être l'amplitude (Umin) d'un minimum global de la tension à l'entrefer (5) pendant les impulsions de courant, ce minimum global provenant d'un déplacement oscillant de la pièce à usiner (2) et de l'électrode (6) l'une rapport à l'autre. Ce paramètre peut être également l'intégrale (Qn) du courant à l'entrefer (5) pendant les impulsions de tension ou l'intégrale (FP) de la tension à l'entrefer (5) pendant les impulsions de tension ou la résistance à l'entrefer (5), ou bien la dimension (St) de l'entrefer (5).
