Abstract: The membrane cover has fold lines therein intersecting the walls of the reservoir at intersection points. A geometric chord or secant joins two intersection points, and defines, with a portion of the walls of the reservoir, a static segment in the membrane cover. The membrane cover in the static segment is tensioned along lines of force that are parallel to or that make acute angles, with the aforesaid chord or secant. The membrane cover in the static segment remains substantially planar and stationary, thus static, despite the rising and lowering of the remaining portion of the cover in response to variations in the level of the content of the reservoir. A hatchway is mounted in the static segment of the cover. In another aspect of the invention, the hatchway has an airtight compartment extending between the membrane cover and a point below the level of the material inside the reservoir.

Title: Quality-of-service assurance for ip telephony
Inventor: KAROL MARK JOHN
IPC: H04L69/14
Filed: 2006-02-23
Abstract: A method that seeks to provide a satisfactory quality of service for a strea m of packets through a network. The illustrative embodiment of the present invention seeks to provide a satisfactory quality of service for a stream of packets by periodically or sporadically evaluating one or more alternative paths through the network an d by sending the packets through a path with an acceptable quality of service. Normally, neither the source node nor any other node in a packet's path controls its route after i t has left the node. In contrast, the illustrative embodiment of the present invention has the capability to affect the packet's path through the network by sending the packet to an intermediate or "ricochet" node in the network, which forwards the packet to the destination node. In effect, the source node can, if it deems appropriate, ricochet the packet of f of the intermediate node rather than allowing the packet to take its normal direct path through the network.
