Appl. No.:

10/238201

International Classification:

H04L012/26

US Classification:

370/230000

Abstract:

The present invention governs the order of destination nodes to which each node will send by establishing an individual circular output routing scheme for each node based on that node's unique identifier, thereby evenly distributing node traffic. The output routing scheme for each node can begin with the next incrementally higher node identifier. The output routing scheme can be built by incrementing the node identifiers until the highest node identifier is reached. The lowest node identifier follows the highest node identifier. Then, the node identifiers are again incremented until the sending node's identifier is reached. Each node can iteratively follow its own output routing scheme.

Abstract:

A system, a web host site and method are described that are capable of enabling a creator of a web page to control the activation of a hyperlink to another web page by screening a user for comprehension of certain information before allowing that user to hyperlink to another web page. Basically, the method includes the steps of creating a web page that includes a permission dialog box and enabling a user and personal computer to fetch the created web page. The personal computer then displays the web page in a manner such that if the user selects a hypertext link on the web page then the personal computer displays the permission dialog box. The permission dialog box screens the user to make sure that the user comprehends information displayed on the web page or in the permission dialog box before retrieving a target web page associated with the selected hypertext link.

Abstract:

A modular control system for a railroad classification yard is described. The control system can automatically perform those functions necessary to control the various elements of a railroad classification yard to enable the train of cars to be switched from a hump track to one of a plurality of bowl tracks in accordance with the destination for the car. The control system comprises a number of subsystems including a hump control system (HUMPCON), an operator communications subsystem (OPCOM), a switching control subsystem (MASC), a retarder control subsystem (MARC), a multidrop communications system (MDCOM), a crest monitor subsystem (CMON) and a distance to couple subsystem (MADTC). Some of the subsystems are implemented as singular modules (HCON, OPCOM, CMON). Other subsystems include multiple modules (MARC, MASC, MDCOM).
