Filed:

Feb 4, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/067026

Inventors:

Craig G. Martin - Chalfont PA, US
Mark M. Morehouse - Doylestown PA, US

Assignee:

General Instrument Corporation - Horsham PA

International Classification:

H04L 12/28

US Classification:

370393, 370408, 370409

Abstract:

A method of expandable network slot addressing to provide topological information for a network. The method includes providing a platform having addressable slots for data communication. A first tier device is located in one of the slots in the platform. At least one second tier device is connected to the first tier device. An extendable address is assigned to each of the first and second tier devices, with each address including a slot address segment which indicates which slot each of the devices resides in or is connected to at the modular platform, a depth segment which indicates a layer in the topology at which the device is located and a number of address bytes that are present, and an address byte segment which indicates where in the topology the device is located and provides each of the devices with a unique address so that each of the devices attached to the platform can be addressed and its topological position can be inferred from the address.

International Classification:

H04B 7/00
H04B 1/16

US Classification:

455502, 4551821

Abstract:

A receiver is tuned to a transmission frequency of a data signal after the receiver has already locked onto a frequency carrying the data signal. A frequency offset between a locked frequency of a tuner on the receiver and the actual transmission frequency is determined by a comparator. If the frequency offset is greater than a threshold value, then the tuner is stepped to another frequency and the frequency offset is determined again. The direction of the tuning step can be determined by comparing multiple frequency offsets. An average value of multiple frequency offset measurements may also be used to determine if the tuner should retune to another frequency by comparison with the threshold value.

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a microcapsule exhibiting desirable sustained-release properties, which microcapsule comprises a core material comprising an active ingredient encapsulated within a silica shell, characterized in that the outer surface of such silica shell has a layer of a metal selected from Group 2a, Group 8, Group 2b or Group 3a of the Periodic Table bound thereto. In other aspects this invention relates to a method of making such a microcapsule; a pesticidal composition comprising microcapsules comprising a pesticidal active ingredient and a suitable carrier; and to a method of controlling pests comprising applying an effective amount of such a pesticidal composition to a locus where pests are or are expected to be present.
