20130074828 | SOLAR POWER TOWER SYSTEM - A solar power tower system includes a solar tower receiver, a cold storage tank and a hot storage tank at the bottom of the tower receiver with a heat transfer fluid down pipe from the receiver and a working fluid up pipe into the receiver. A potential energy recovery system is located at the bottom of the tower configured such that it recovers part of the mechanical energy of the heat transfer fluid and uses it in the pumping of the working fluid to the receiver and providing power to other equipment in the solar power tower system in any kind of energy. | 03-28-2013 |
20120170457 | METHOD FOR SUPPORTING ADMISSION CONTROL AND/OR PATH SELECTION IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK AND COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A method for supporting admission control and/or path selection in a communication network, the network including a plurality of wireless communication links, possibly of different link technologies, established between a plurality of network nodes, includes the steps of partitioning the communication links of the network into groups of communication links—link groups—, assigning each link group an associated link group controller that is configured to observe and/or measure the performance and/or quality of the link group, based on the observations and/or measurements, computing estimates of metrics for the capacity of the respective link group and the costs for using each of the communication links of the respective link group, and transmitting the estimates to at least one resource management entity being configured to take admission control and/or path selection decisions on the basis of the estimates. A communication network with admission control and/or path selection supporting functionality is described. | 07-05-2012 |
20120044837 | DATA FRAME ROUTING METHOD AND NETWORK BRIDGE - A method operates at the data link level. Each bridge associates, during a guard time, the port through which a frame is first received with a source MAC address until a unicast reply frame confirms the matching two-way path between the source and destination addresses. Any frame from the same source received through another different port is discarded. Each bridge forwards the received broadcast frames through the rest of the ports, except those involving prohibited (down-up) turns, and deviates (or optionally returns) the unicast frames with an unknown or aged destination address through the spanning tree. The protocol can operate with encapsulation in the border bridges or without encapsulation, using in this case the replacement of universal MAC addresses in the border bridges with local MAC addresses. The establishment and control of paths can optionally be performed proactively by the border bridges, especially the bridges connected to servers. | 02-23-2012 |
20110224526 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECONSTRUCTING AND VIEWING CARDIAC ELECTRICAL ACTIVATION - System and method for the reconstruction of cardiac electrical activation from cardiac electrical signals recorded by intracardiac catheters. The obtained signals are processed using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm to solve the dual signal problem. Visualization of the solution includes geometric information in such a way that the cardiac electrical activity can be identified and localized. The system and method are described as a preferential application for anti-arrhythmic therapies. | 09-15-2011 |
