| 20110032952 | TWO STAGE INTERNET PROTOCOL HEADER COMPRESSION - Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method and related network system including one or more of the following: receiving a packet having a header and belonging to a flow; identifying a context identifier (CID) associated with the flow; morphing the header into a pseudo-compressed header, the pseudo-compressed header including the CID associated with the flow; determining whether the packet should be transmitted with a compressed header, a full header, or an uncompressed header; morphing the pseudo-compressed header into a compressed header to form an outgoing packet when the packet should be transmitted with a compressed header; morphing the pseudo-compressed header into a full header to form an outgoing packet when the packet should be transmitted with a full header; restoring the uncompressed header to form an outgoing packet when the packet should be transmitted with an uncompressed header; and transmitting the outgoing packet over the communications network. | 02-10-2011 |

| 20090294084 | Local Tension Generating Air Stabilization System for Web Products - An air stabilization system employing two parallel, opposite-facing Coanda nozzles, with each nozzle exhausting gas at opposite directions, subjects a moving flexible web to opposing forces effective to create local tension within the web. Each nozzle includes an elongated slot that is perpendicular to the path of the moving web. The nozzles serve as separate points along the machine direction for controlling the height of the web. The operative surface with the nozzles can exhibit a flush surface. The nozzles can be formed on elevated structures on the operative surface. The operative surface can be covered with a transparent substrate to minimize shape distortions on the moving web and to prevent debris from collecting around the sensor. By modulating the velocities of gases exiting the nozzles, the shape of the web can be manipulated to present a planar contour. The air stabilization system can be incorporated into a caliper scanner. | 12-03-2009 |

| 20090044646 | Electromotive Linear Drive - An electromotive linear drive with a drive unit having a drive motor and a spindle driven by the drive unit. The drive includes a spindle nut disposed on the spindle. The spindle nut is movable longitudinally on the spindle. A lifting tube is operatively connected to the spindle nut so that the spindle nut moves together with the lifting tube. A connecting part is disposed on a free end of the lifting tube. A braking assembly is disposed in the lifting tube and is operatively connected to the spindle nut via an adjustable, frictional connection. The braking assembly is manipulable. During operation of the drive motor, the spindle nut frictionally engages the braking assembly, preventing rotation of the spindle nut. The frictional connection may be adjusted to permit the spindle nut to rotate with respect to the spindle, thereby manipulating a linear speed component of the lifting tube. | 02-19-2009 |
