Abstract: A network of nodes communicates using plural, shared parallel data channels and a separate reservation channel. Access to the data channels is coordinated among the nodes by communicating message requests and corresponding replies on the reservation channel. In addition to a primary transmitter/receiver (e.g., a modem), each node includes a secondary receiver that permits each node to continuously monitor the reservation channel. When not engaged in a message transfer on one of the data channels, the primary receiver monitors the reservation channel. If the primary becomes engaged in a message transfer, the secondary receiver is activated and monitors the reservation channel. Use of the secondary receiver avoids loss of channel access information resulting from use of a single receiver for both the reservation and data transfer mechanisms. By transmitting requests for channel access on the reservation channel and continuously monitoring the reservation channel, message collisions are dramatically reduced.

Abstract: A low-power controller for a discontinuous switched mode power converter. The controller has an inductor current sensing circuit to measure the inductor current flowing through an inductive charge storage element as well as an output voltage sensing circuit to monitor output voltage. The controller monitors both the converter output voltage and the inductor current and uses this information to modulate a peak inductor current trip point and controller switching frequency according to a control law curve in order to regulate converter output voltage. The controller prevents the switching frequency from falling below a predetermined minimum frequency. The control law curve is selectable to specify controller operation according to a desired combination of minimum switching frequency and maximum peak inductor current.

Abstract: Sulfonated polymers are made by the direct polymerization of a sulfonated monomer to form the sulfonated polymers. The types of sulfonated polymers may include polysulfones or polyimides. The sulfonated polymers can be formed into membranes that may be used in proton exchange membrane fuel cells or as ion exchange membranes. The membranes formed form the sulfonated polymers exhibit improved properties over that of Nafion3. A heteropoly acid may be added to the sulfonated polymer to form a nanocomposite membrane in which the heteropoly acid is highly dispersed. The addition of a heteropoly acid to the sulfonated polymer increases the thermal stability of the membrane, enhances the conductivity above 100  DEG C, and reduces the water uptake of the membrane.
