20100085874 | BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - System for bandwidth assignment to manage congestion over a network bottleneck, comprises a regulation point being set up downstream of the bottleneck in the network to manage congestion in data packets arriving from various sources via the bottleneck. For each of the sources, a priority level assigner assigns priority levels to respective data packets. A token bucket assigns tokens at a limiting rate to the prioritized data packets, the tokens allowing passage of packets to which they are assigned. The token bucket is a multi-priority token bucket, meaning it has at least two thresholds corresponding to the priority levels assigned to the packets. The token bucket only assigns a token to an arriving packet having a respective priority level if there are sufficient tokens currently in the bucket to reach the threshold corresponding to the packet's priority level. | 04-08-2010 |

20130058212 | OPTIMIZATION OF THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROTOCOL PARTICULARLY FOR WIRELESS CONNECTIONS - TCP Proxy apparatus for a wireless network section to a TCP-enabled network includes a latency aware unit for monitoring round trip time over the wireless access network section to determine latency within the access section; and a filter for filtering out momentary changes in the latency. Momentary fluctuations in the wireless connection causes instantaneous packet loss, which merely requires minimal packet retransmission, temporarily affecting latency. The filter ensures that such fluctuations do not activate the TCP congestion avoidance mechanisms and unnecessarily slow down the overall transmission rate. | 03-07-2013 |

20100260378 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING THE CONTOUR OF AN OBJECT ON A MOVING CONVEYOR BELT - A system for detecting the contour of an object situated on a surface includes an image acquisition assembly, wherein there is relative motion between the image acquisition assembly and the object. The image acquisition assembly includes a line detector, operable for scanning the surface line by line by virtue of the relative motion. Each line is scanned during a scan cycle, the line being transverse to the direction of the relative motion. A light source is operable for emitting light toward the line detector during active periods between idle periods, such that during each of the active periods the light is emitted for at least one cycle synchronized with the scan cycle, allowing the line detector to acquire a first group of at least one lit scan line. During each of the idle periods lasting for at least another cycle synchronized with the scan cycle, no light is emitted, allowing the line detector to acquire a second group of at least one unlit scan line. The object passes between the line detector and the light source by virtue of the relative motion. A processor is coupled with the image acquisition assembly and receives and analyzes scan lines acquired by the line detector. For each of the first group of at least one lit scan line and a successive one of the second group of at least one unlit scan line, the processor identifies a token pattern consisting of a lit segment of the first group adjoining an unlit segment of the second group. The processor searches along the first group and the successive second group for locations where the token pattern ends or reappears, thereby defining edges of the object, and combining the collection of the defined edges to produce a contour of the object. | 10-14-2010 |
