Title: Call admission control method and system
Inventor: MIYAMOTO REI
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2000-07-13
Abstract: A call admission control technique allows flexible and reliable call admissions at an ATM switch in the case of an ATM network including both QoS-specified and QoS-unspecified virtual connections. In the case where a Quality-of-Service (Qos)-specified connection request occurs, an estimated bandwidth is calculated which is to be assigned to existing QoS-unspecified traffic on the link associated with the QoS-specified traffic on request. A call control processor of the ATM switch determines whether the QoS-specified connection request is accepted, depending on whether a requested bandwidth is smaller than an available bandwidth that is obtained by subtracting an assigned bandwidth and the estimated bandwidth from a full bandwidth of the link.

Title: I.c. engine with replaceable cylinder liner
Inventor: DAWKINS ABBY J
IPC: F02B3/06
Filed: 1998-07-20
Abstract: The position of the liner 20 within the block 22 is established by a midstop 36 contacting a block ledge 38 so that the liner 20 is clamped with axial compression between the cylinder head (60, fig.2) and the midstop 36. A diametral interference fit below the midstop 36 seals the bottom end of a cooling passage 44 that extends around the liner 20.

Title: Apparatus for manufacturing semiconductor device
Inventor: JEON JEONG-SIC
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2002-05-03
Abstract: An apparatus for improving the density and uniformity of plasma in the manufacture of a semiconductor device features a plasma chamber 112 having a complex geometry that causes plasma density to be increased at the periphery or edge of a semiconductor wafer 130 being processed, thereby compensating for a plasma density that is typically more concentrated at the center of the semiconductor wafer 130. By mounting a target semiconductor wafer 130 in a chamber region that has a cross-sectional area that is smaller than a cross-sectional area of a plasma source chamber region, a predetermine flow of generated plasma 124 from the source becomes concentrated as it moves toward the semiconductor wafer 130, particularly at the periphery of the semiconductor wafer 130. This provides a more uniform plasma density across the entire surface of the target semiconductor wafer 130 than has heretofore been available. The density of the plasma may also be increased at the edges of the semi-conductor device by using an inductive plate (320, fig.4) which is made from two sections (320a, 320b) having different radius's of curvature.
