Filed:

Nov 30, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/947928

Inventors:

Arthur E. Anderson - Placentia CA, US
Wendell Y. Kishaba - San Diego CA, US

Assignee:

Powerwave Cognition, Inc. - Santa Ana CA

International Classification:

H04L 12/56

US Classification:

3703954

Abstract:

In one aspect, a method to schedule network communications in a network having nodes connected by links includes sending a bandwidth value of a first node for each link connected to the first node to neighbors of the first node, receiving bandwidth values from the neighbors of the first node; and determining node weight values of the first node and the neighbors of the first node based on the bandwidth values received from the neighbors of the first node and the bandwidth value of the first node. The method also includes sending the node weight values of the first node to the neighbors of the first node, receiving the node weight values from the neighbors of the first node, determining access values for each node based on a fair access technique and determining network scheduling based on the access values and the node weight values.

International Classification:

H04B 7/212

US Classification:

370322, 370329, 370348

Abstract:

In a Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET), each node calculates a bandwidth output value representative of data output requirements for the node relative to the transmit time slots available to the node. This value is shared with other nodes in the MANET and may be employed to more efficiently allocate channel usage among nodes as traffic demands and network topology change.

Appl. No.:

6/287791

Inventors:

Arthur Anderson - Cypress CA

Assignee:

Fischer & Porter Company - Warminster PA

International Classification:

B01D 1900
C02F 120

US Classification:

210188

Abstract:

A gas-extraction arrangement for a settling tank included in a wastewater treatment system, the tank having an outlet zone defined by an effluent trough at least one side of which has a weir to permit clarified water from the tank to spill therein. The trough is covered by a hood which acts to confine the atmosphere thereabove to the hood region, at least one side of the hood protruding into the tank water at a point spaced from the weir to create a scum baffle preventing grease and other floating matter from being discharged into the trough. The hood is coupled to a suction pump which acts to draw noxious gases emitted as the water spills over the weir into a gas-control system or other means for deactivating the gases.

Appl. No.:

7/745685

Inventors:

Arthur S. Anderson - Cypress CA

Assignee:

Gierlich-Mitchell, Inc. - El Segundo CA

International Classification:

B01D 2446

US Classification:

210274

Abstract:

There is disclosed a granular filtration system having a separator trough with an air deflection baffle of improved shape and operation, preferably combined with an airlift mechanism for cleaning or removing settled granular media particles from the upper surface of the air deflection baffle. The air deflection baffle is used in a regeneration method for the granular media filtration system in which the granular media is purged of filtered solids by backflushing with air and water. In this application, the air-deflection baffle is installed beneath and adjacent to the open throat of a solids separation vessel, typically which is in the form of a trough spanning the width of the filtration vessel and having an inclined bottom wall with an open throat. The improved configuration of the air deflection baffle is generally an inverted W-shape. A plurality of open-ended tubes are secured on the air deflection baffle, transversely to the longitudinal axis thereof.
