20100097821LIGHT EMITTING DIODE-BASED LAMP HAVING A VOLUME SCATTERING ELEMENT - A lamp having a candle-like appearance and using one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as its light source is presented. The candle-like appearance arises because light is emitted from only a small volume at or near the center of the bulb. The heat sink and control electronics are located outside the bulb of the lamp. Inside the bulb is a set of secondary optics that guide the light from one or more LEDs to an emission point at a prescribed location in the interior of the bulb. The secondary optics include a light pipe that guides light away from the LED chip, and a volume scattering element that receives the light from the light pipe and scatters it into various directions. The volume scattering element is made from a transparent base material, and includes transparent particles of a predetermined size and refractive index. Because the lamp is typically used in an overhead position, such as in a hanging chandelier, the density of particles in the volume scattering element, the particle size and the particle refractive index are chosen to produce a scattering pattern that directs more light downward (toward the base of the bulb) than upward, while maintaining a reasonable efficiency (fraction of produced light that successfully exits the lamp). Simulation results are presented.04-22-2010

20100195488OPTIMIZED TRANSPORT PROTOCOL FOR DELAY-SENSITIVE DATA - Transmission delays are minimized when packets are transmitted from a source computer over a network to a destination computer. The source computer measures the network's available bandwidth, forms a sequence of output packets from a sequence of data packets, and transmits the output packets over the network to the destination computer, where the transmission rate is ramped up to the measured bandwidth. In conjunction with the transmission, the source computer monitors a transmission delay indicator which it computes using acknowledgement packets it receives from the destination computer. Whenever the indicator specifies that the transmission delay is increasing, the source computer reduces the transmission rate until the indicator specifies that the delay is unchanged. The source computer dynamically decides whether each output packet will be a forward error correction packet or a single data packet, where the decision is based on minimizing the expected transmission delays.08-05-2010
