Title: System for the dynamic allocation of carrier frequencies to access points of a wireless local area network (wlan)
Inventor: VARONE SACHA
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2004-05-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-based system (4'), for the dynamic allocation of carrier frequencies to computerised access points (API, AP2, APn) of a wireless local area network (7), a so-called WLAN, connected to the access points by means of a communication connection (6). Current operating values, such as the current number of associated users and the current number of received data packets with and without errors, are recorded by means of autonomous agent modules (AM1, AM2, AMn) of the computer-based system (4'), using the communication connection (6), from the access points (AP1, AP2, APn). Based on the recorded operating values, individual weighting factors for the access points (AP1, AP2, APn) are calculated in the computer-based system (4'). Access point information on the access points (API, AP2, APn), comprising current carrier frequencies and weighting factors are stored in the computer-based system (4'). Optimal carrier frequencies, or radio channels, for the reduction of interference between the access points (AP1, AP2, APn) are determined in the computer-based system (4'), based on the stored access point information and set in the access points (AP1, AP2, APn), by means of the communication connection (6). The optimal carrier frequencies or radio channels can be determined and set in the access points (API, AP2, APn) without the need for resources of the wireless local area network (7) to be used and without having to carry out changes to the access points (AP1, AP2, APn).

Abstract: A number of data collection devices ( 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 ) are free to move relative to each other through their environment, collecting data from their environment. They form an ad hoc wireless network ( 19, 29, 39, 49 , etc) in which data collected by a device ( 20 ) (either by its own sensors ( 23 ), or relayed from another device ( 10 )) is transmitted to a destination ( 90 ) either directly or by means of one or more other devices ( 30 ). The destination ( 90 ) collects data collected by the mobile terminals ( 10, 20, 30 etc) for subsequent processing. The wireless links ( 19, 29, 39 etc) between them have to re-arranged in order to provide the optimum network. Each device ( 20, 30 ) defines a scalar status value determined by factors including remaining battery life and amount of data in the buffer. The devices exchange information about their status values. Each device will only forward payload data to other devices having lower status values than its own.

Title: Enhanced locomotive adhesion control
Inventor: WORDEN BRET
IPC: B61C15/14
Filed: 2004-09-16
Abstract: A method of dynamically controlling traction of a locomotive (V) having a plurality of axles (A1-A6) on each of which are mounted wheels (W) for moving the locomotive over a set of rails (R). A creep control signal (creep_ n) is provided to a controller (TMTC) for each axle to move the locomotive over the rails, the creep control signal being a function of adhesion operation characteristics (tractive effort, torque, creep) for that axle. An advisory signal (ccc_n) combining values representative of the adhesion quality of the two axles is provided to the controller to maximize the tractive effort of the axle if the adhesion quality of the other axle is a maximum for the current rail conditions. This reduces the amount of time for the axle to attain its maximum tractive effort when rail conditions change.

Title: Method of purifying polyether polyols of non-volatile impurities
Inventor: SPEIER JON S
IPC: C08G65/30
Filed: 2005-03-02
Abstract: The subject invention provides polyurethane foam and a method of purifying polyether polyols of non-volatile impurities for use in forming the polyurethane foam. The method includes the step of providing a crude polyether polyol having a non-volatile impurity present therein. The crude polyether polyol is contacted with an adsorbent selected from at least one of activated carbon, diatomaceous earth, charcoal, attapulgite, and clay to remove the impurity and filtered to form a purified polyether polyol. The filtering of the crude polyether polyol is carried out through a filter media that is used both in a pre-filtering step prior to adding the adsorbent and the filtering step to remove the adsorbent to reduce losses of the purified polyether polyol because of its high viscosity. The purified polyether polyol is then used to form a polyurethane foam having improved stability.

Title: Disc shunt for treating back pain
Inventor: YEUNG JEFFREY E
IPC: A61B17/16
Filed: 2005-06-22
Abstract: The intervertebral disc is avascular. With aging, nutrients and oxygen transporting through the endplates diminish. The disc degenerates, and pain ensues. Conduits are delivered through a pedicle or vertebral body into the intervertebral disc to re-establish the exchange of nutrients and waste between the disc and bodily circulation to slow, stop or reverse disc degeneration and relieve pain. Endplate plugs may be deployed to seal gaps between the conduits and the endplates to prevent immune responses to the nucleus pulposus and to preserve the hydrostatic pressure within the disc.
