摘要:
An improved method and system for selecting, retrieving and managing access to computer network locations. The method improves access to frequently utilized network locations by providing a recirculating list of network addresses selectable by a single user input. A user interface to the computer network can be accomplished utilizing a network browser in cooperation with a personal computer. The recirculating list of frequently utilized network locations is entered by the user into the system. The recirculating list has a selectable network location which is displayed to the user. The selectable network location can be requested and retrieved by a single user input such as selecting an icon which resides on a toolbar. The information or data associated with the selectable network location is automatically displayed in response to the user selecting the active URL of the recirculating list. The selectable network address can be accessed by a user in response to a single user input. After the single user input selects the active URL of the recirculating list the next URL becomes the active URL such that the user can efficiently select the next available selection. The list is recirculated such that a list of frequently accessed network locations can be efficiently managed and selected utilizing a single user input in cooperation with the recirculating list.

A hydraulic fluid storage apparatus for a transmission has a main sump and a secondary sump. The secondary sump is connected with the main sump through a restricted flow passage. The fluid within the main sump is subjected to centrifugal forces by rotating components within the transmission, such that at high speeds and high levels in the main sump, the restricted passage is closed by a centrifugal dam thereby resulting in fluid storage within the secondary sump. The fluid storage in the secondary sump returning to the main sump when the speed of the rotating components is reduced.

A network device incorporating selective compression of stored data packets is disclosed. The network device receives, stores and forwards data packets and includes a system for applying a compression algorithm to packets after their header portions and storing the partially compressed packets, which are decompressed after readout from storage and before they are forwarded. Lengths of a packet as received and as subject to the compression algorithm are compared to prevent storage when the algorithm fails to produce a shorter packet.

A network switch includes a plurality of receive ports for receiving addressed data packets and a plurality of transmit ports for forwarding the addressed data packets and is responsive to data in the packets for directing received packets to the transmit ports. The switch includes, with respect to at least one transmit port, a bandwidth controller for at least one selected packet type. The bandwidth controller diminishes an aggregate count in response to the sizes of packets of the one type destined for the transmit port and continually augments the aggregate count at a selectable rate. The switch compares the aggregate count with a threshold and initiates a discard of packets of the one type before they can be forwarded from the transmit port so as to limit the proportion of available bandwidth occupied by packet so of the one type with respect to the transmit port.

A network switch includes a transmit queue of packets along with indication (e.g. in respective status words) of the type of each packet and its size. An arbitrator includes a counter which is incremented by the size (e.g. in bytes) of each packet of a first type (e.g. ‘low-loss’) and decremented by a scaled size of each packet of a second type (e.g. ‘normal loss’). If the queue exceeds a set limit, preferably less than the maximum possible size of the queue, packets are discarded if a scaled packet of the second type exceeds the net content of the counter.
摘要:
A method of accessing an electronic page on a computer system, by ascertaining that the electronic page is adapted to be displayed as a single window containing a plurality of frames (having fixed attributes), but then displaying separate windows for respective frames, and enabling one or more window operations for each of the windows, such as resizing, minimizing, maximizing, and closing each of the windows. The windowed frames can be displayed as child windows within a parent window on the display device, or in separate parent windows. The frame windowing mode can be toggled between active and inactive states. Initial attributes of the windows can be based on the frame attributes of the respective frames. These attributes can be ascertained by interpreting tags in a main computer file associated with the electronic page, e.g., an HTML file which is downloaded over the World Wide Web.
摘要:
A surgical procedure done under general anesthesia in which a patient is first operated on in an operating room and thereafter moved from the operating room to a recovery room is disclosed herein. During general anesthesia the patient is administered oxygen from a first oxygen source through a cooperating tube disengagably connected at a first end to the source and at a second opposite end to a mask or endotracheal tube attached to the patient in a way that allows the patient to receive oxygen from the source. After surgery, while being moved from the operating room to a recovery room, the patient is administered oxygen from a second, portable source using the very same cooperating tube. Specifically, after the patient has begun spontaneous ventilation, the first end of the cooperating tube is disconnected from the original oxygen source and reconnected to the portable source. At the same time, the mask or endotracheal tube remains attached to the patient and the patient is thereafter moved along with the portable oxygen source and the cooperating tube to the recovery room. In order to accommodate the switching of the cooperating tube from the original oxygen source to the portable source, a specifically designed adapter is utilized.
