20080212470 | METHOD FOR APPLICATION LAYER SYNCHRONOUS TRAFFIC SHAPING - A method, a system, and a computer program product implements traffic shaping by processing as a synchronous request, tasks representing one or more units of work contained within the request. Before a request is sent through the network, the request is inspected in order to derive the amount of work that the request would generate in the network. A traffic manager queries the amount of work in that request compared to the amount of work that the network can support and generates a number of traffic envelopes. Based on the results of this query, “task pruning” may be implemented to break the request into smaller manageable task that fit into the traffic envelopes. Task pruning may also enable only a subset of the work to be performed. Thus, a measure of the amount of work, rather than the amount of data, within a request is considered when scheduling the request. | 09-04-2008 |

20080235887 | Pool cleaner with high pressure cleaning jets - A pool cleaner includes a housing and a pump means for drawing water and debris through an intake port into a filter. A jet-valve housing having a jet-valve flap is mounted in a valve-chamber disposed over the pump means to direct a propulsion jet stream from the pump to one of a pair of opposing propulsion outlets formed in the jet-valve housing to move the cleaner in a forward direction. The valve-chamber has a wedge-shaped apex with a pair of opposing pins configured for pivotally mounting the jet-valve flap. A spring is disposed between the top portion of the jet-valve flap and the chamber apex to force the jet-valve flap to pivot between the opposing propulsion outlets when the pump is temporarily powered off to change the direction of cleaning. Upon restoring power to the pump, water from the pump closes the previously opened propulsion outlet and opens the previously closed propulsion outlet to propel the cleaner in a forward direction that is opposite to the previous direction. | 10-02-2008 |

A cleaning nozzle is mounted over each of the front and rear portions of the housing, and a pressurized water jet stream is directed at a first pool surface beneath the cleaner through the front end nozzle while moving in a forward direction. When the cleaner engages a second pool surface substantially perpendicular to the first surface, propulsion outlets of the jet valve housing are partially closed to redirect a portion of the propulsion jet stream to the front-end nozzle to lift the front end of the cleaner off the first surface. When the front end of the cleaner disengages from contact with the second surface, the propulsion outlets open to permit the propulsion jet stream to propel the cleaner along the second surface. | 10-02-2008 |
