20100020646 | Ultrasonic transducer with improved method of beam angle control - An ultrasonic transducer utilizes an acoustic transmission line to increase the sensitivity of both the transmitting response and the receiving response. The resonant element of the transducer could employ a ceramic disc operating in the radial resonance mode for its transduction means, or it could be a half wavelength resonator utilizing a forward transmission line, a rear transmission line, and a non-resonant ceramic for transduction. The shape of the forward transmission line is designed to generate the desired acoustic radiation pattern at the frequency of resonance, which could be a broad or narrow conical beam or a fan shaped beam. A sealed housing structure is disclosed that contains the forward transmission line that is acoustically disconnected from the rest of the housing. This housing provides improved environmental protection and allows for easy mounting of the transducer without effecting its electroacoustic response characteristics. | 01-28-2010 |
20100208553 | Hidden ultrasonic transducer with beam angle control for non-contact target detection systems - An ultrasonic transducer utilizes a unique forward acoustic transmission line comprised of a composite structure partially consisting of a portion of a continuous smooth sheet of material, such as an automobile bumper, from which the acoustic beam is emitted. This makes it invisible to sight, thus allowing for an improved object detection system in which the sensors cannot be seen, so that they do not interfere with the smooth lines that were designed into the surface of the object or vehicle onto which they are mounted. This is a significant improvement for applications where the look and style of the surface of the platform is important, such as in automotive park assist systems. | 08-19-2010 |

20100095017 | SCALABLE AND DYNAMIC QUALITY OF SERVICE CONTROL - Applications and users dynamically make QoS provisioning requests for individual traffic flows traversing client and server hosts. A traffic flow provisioning request is conveyed to a services manager, which determines a set of traffic attributes for the flow and determines the networks the flow traverses between the client and server hosts. The services manger then oversees the admission of the flow to appropriate traffic classes in each determined network and the obtaining of a DSCP value for each network. Lastly, the services manger conveys the DSCP value of the first network traversed back to the client or server host, depending on the direction of the flow, which host is then configured to appropriately mark the DSCP field of the traffic flow packets. In a further embodiment, the services manager also instructs the client or server host to perform packet policing and shaping for the flow. | 04-15-2010 |
