Abstract: When an ignition switch is ON, a CPU (23) specifies a mesh ID of a mesh including a vehicle position, and a month, day, and time period of the current time, and reads a request frequency from request frequency data. Then, when a time period corresponding to the request frequency has elapsed from a previous occasion on which the distribution of current traffic information, including congestion information, was requested from an information distribution center (3), the CPU determines that it is a communication timing, and issues a request to the information distribution center for distribution of the current traffic information including congestion information. On the basis of the received current traffic information, the CPU updates current traffic information stored in a navigation device side traffic information DB.

Abstract: Centralized scheduling of service flows from a base station to a plurality of stations in a multi-hop mobile relay system is accomplished by a centralized scheduler disposed in the base station. The centralized scheduler schedules the service flows by determining a frequency and a timeslot in which a relay station may re-transmit service flows that the base station sends to the relay station to be retransmitted to a mobile station or in the other direction, from a mobile station to the base station via a relay station. The centralized scheduler also transmits control messages including the frequency and the timeslot in which the relay station may re-transmit the service flows. The relay station receives the service flows in the form of bursts of data packets from the base station or from a mobile station. The relay station having a physical layer that encodes and decodes the data packets up to a media access control level. The relay station re-transmitting the data packets to the mobile station or to the base station at the frequency and in the timeslot determined by the base station and included in the control messages.

Abstract: A food slicing machine (10) is provided for slicing food products such as bacon, cheese or cooked meat for sale as groups of slices in separate packs. The food slicing machine comprises a cutter for cutting slices from the food product and controller (32) for controlling the thickness of the slices. The machine cuts slices according to a first value of a slicing parameter until the controller determines when the amount of food product remaining to be sliced in an end portion of the food product is less than a predetermined group weight threshold. The controller is operable to cause a slice to be cut according to a second, different value of the slicing parameter from the end portion for addition to an under-weight group of slices, so that its weight at least equals the predetermined group weight threshold. In this way, slices cut from the end portion may be cut to a thickness sufficient to complete an under-weight group of slices whilst reducing the extent to which the group weight threshold is exceeded by the completed pack.

Abstract: A system and methods for reducing detection time of path failures in a communications network is disclosed. Computing devices are organized into at least three groups based on their connectivity. The computing devices arc assigned three identification values based on their group assignments. The identification values for each computing device are stored in a router connected to the communications network. Heartbeat packets are sent from the computing devices to the router on a periodic basis. If the router fails to receive a heartbeat packet from a particular computing device, a communication path from the router to the computing device is determined based on the three identification values.
