The middle panel has opposing first and second surfaces defining an asymmetric waveform profile, preferably having a polygonal geometry. The middle panel member is secured to the first and second interface surfaces at preselected locations along the upper and lower surfaces, thereby defining a plurality of laterally oriented asymmetric channels. The asymmetric waveform profile is configured with distinct amplitudes and wavelengths along different regions of the hood assembly, each configured to provide different predetermined levels of absorption and attenuation of kinetic energy imparted to the hood assembly by objects upon impact therebetween. Ideally, the lower and middle panels are respectively configured to controllably fail at first and second predetermined crush loads. | 08-06-2009 |
20100110920 | METHOD USED FOR RADIO MEASUREMENT AND A COMMUNICATION NODE IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A method used for radio measurement in a communication network is provided. The communication network comprises multiple basic service sets controlled by a core network controller. The method comprises the steps of: the core network controller issuing a measurement request to a communication node working on a service channel; the communication node switching to a non-service channel based on the measurement request; the communication node broadcasting a measurement beacon in the non-service channel and returning to the service channel immediately after the broadcasting; a node in the non-service channel receiving the measurement beacon; and based on the measurement beacon, calculating the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) from the communication node to the node in the non-service channel. | 05-06-2010 |
20100135236 | PROPORTIONAL FAIRNESS SCHEDULER AND SCHEDULING METHOD USING IMPERFECT CQI FEEDBACK - The present invention proposes a proportional fairness scheduler used in a base station, which is applicable to a high mobility environment, the scheduler comprising: a correction factor estimator which, for each user equipment in a serving cell of the base station, estimates a correction factor for an instantaneous transmission rate for a next frame according to a statistical result on changes in a channel quality in a current frame; a metric calculator which, for each user equipment in the serving cell of the base station, calculates a metric based on the instantaneous transmission rate for the user equipment, the estimated correction factor and a history throughput recorded for the user equipment; and a transmission opportunity granter which grants a transmission opportunity in the next frame to a user equipment having the optimal metric out of all the user equipments. Also, the present invention proposes a proportional fairness is scheduling method used in a base station. | 06-03-2010 |
20110099226 | METHOD OF REQUESTING FOR LOCATION INFORMATION OF RESOURCES ON NETWORK, USER NODE AND SERVER FOR THE SAME - Disclosed is a method for requesting for location information of resources on a P2P network, user node and server for the same, which allow a user to get network resources quickly. The popular files and the unpopular files are managed separately. The metadata of popular files are stored a plurality of SN based on respective areas, while the metadata of the unpopular files are stored and queried in a centralized manner. A function of redirecting a request message is added into the SN so as to inform the user the existence of a SN-R. Meanwhile, in order to improve query efficiency and avoid repeatedly redirecting of the message, a server routing table is provided for the user node which can indicate which files need to be download and which server should be requested to provide the files. Due to the popular filed and the unpopular filed are stored separately and all of unpopular files are stored in a centralized manner, the user can get unpopular files when the user request for the unpopular files in a P2P network. | 04-28-2011 |
