Abstract: A system and method includes timing parameters within a node-verification protocol, such as OCPS, to facilitate a determination of the proximity of a target node to a source node. The node-verification protocol includes a query-response sequence, wherein the source node communicates a query to the target node, and the target node communicates a corresponding response to the source node. The source node establishes a lower bound on the distance between the source node and the target node based on a measure of the time required to effect this query-response sequence. The time required to effect this sequence includes the time required to communicate the query and response, as well as the time required to process the query and generate the response. The target node includes a measure of the time required to process the query and generate the response to the source node. The source node subtracts this time from the total query-response time to determine the time consumed for the communication. This communication time is compared to a threshold value to determine whether the target node is local or remote relative to the source node.

Abstract: A method of correcting errors in a packet based communications system comprises generating m parity packets from each group of k consecutive data packets to form a code word of k data packets and m parity packets. Each parity packet is a combination of two or more data packets, and each data and parity packet includes a sequence number representative of a relative position of the packet in the code word. The method also includes examining, after transmission, the sequence number associated with each packet to determine if one or more packets from the code word is missing. If any packets are missing, the method includes identifying the one or more missing packets. The method further includes processing the data packets and the parity packets according to the combinations of data packets used to generate the parity packets, so as to recover one or more missing packets.

A deformable diaphragm (50) isolates the reservoir (36) from the mechansim which actuates the valve to prevent undesirable entry of the product. The diaphragm (50) may be of a number of shapes, depending upon the length of the stroke desired for the ball mechanism. The dispensing unit (22) is readily removable from the actuator unit (26) and can be readily replaced with another dispensing unit. Different nozzle sizes can also be accommodated. The extent of the valve opening is adjustable in discrete increments.
