Title: Apparatus and method for exercising and monitoring the performance of the upper flexor muscles of the neck
Inventor: WATSON DEAN HAROLD
IPC: A63B21/02
Filed: 2001-08-23
Abstract: An apparatus (1) that preferably takes the form of a collar for exercising or assessing the upper cervical flexor muscles to assist with headaches. The apparatus includes a resiliently compressible cushion (2) that fits under the mandible (3) of the user but not extending as far as the chin.

Title: method and apparatus for separating data packets contained in a single memory buffer
Inventor: DUISENBERG KENNETH C
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-04-30
Abstract: Method and apparatus of separating packets. Specifically, a method of separating data packets in a single memory buffer 100 is disclosed. The method locates a memory buffer 100 containing a pre-selected address at a buffer header 512 of the memory buffer 100 (step 410 figure 4). A first data packet 510 containing the buffer header 512 is separated from a remaining part 520 of the memory buffer 100 (step 440 figure 4). The first data packet 510 is associated with a first packet length. The method then searches the remaining part 520 of the memory buffer 100 to locate a plurality of packet headers associated with a plurality of concatenated data packets (step 470 figure 4). Each of the plurality of packet headers contains the pre-selected address. The method then separates the plurality of concatenated data packets, that is associated with a plurality of concatenated packet lengths, for processing (step 490 figure 4).
Patent GB-2402021-A (GB)
Title: Rate control method and apparatus for data packet transmission from a mobile phone to a base station
Inventor: LEE JINSOCK
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-05-19
Abstract: Base stations control the transmission rate that is used by mobile phones to forward them information. A mobile phone periodically forwards a rate request to a base station if the mobile phone needs to have its data transmission rate to the base station increased or decreased, and the base station responds with a rate command. An error can occur in the transmission of the rate command, such that a rate R<nb> transmitted by the base station and detected by the mobile phone as R<ue> may not match. Various schemes are proposed for reducing and correcting such transmission errors. A first scheme involves periodically resetting the transmission rate of the base station and mobile phone with a reference rate. Second to fourth schemes involve periodically comparing the transmission rates of the base station and mobile phone, and replacing the rate of the mobile phone if they differ. A fifth scheme involves a filtering of the feedback command in order to reduce the impact of error propagation. A sixth scheme, which may be used separately or in conjunction with any of the foregoing schemes, involves adjusting a power offset with a repetition factor. All of the schemes are modified during a soft handover of the mobile phone from the base station to a new base station.
