摘要:
A belt rib wear gauge comprising a body, an elongate member having a length and extending from the body, the elongate member having an arcuate surface, the elongate member further comprising a tactile surface cooperatively disposed with respect to the arcuate surface, and the arcuate surface having a predetermined radial dimension wherein engagement of the elongate member within a belt groove and the position of the tactile surface relative to a datum plane at a tip of belt ribs disposed immediately adjacent to the belt groove indicates a state of wear of the belt ribs.

A variable rate transmission system where a packet of variable rate data is transmitted on a traffic channel if the capacity of the traffic channel is greater than or equal to the data rate of the packet. When the rate of the packet of variable rate data exceeds the capacity of the traffic channel, the packet is transmitted on a traffic channel and at least one overflow channel. Also described is a receiving system for receiving and reassembling the data transmitted on the traffic channel and at least one additional overflow channel.
摘要:
A handoff technique in which system users detect transitions in service between a current service area and an adjacent service area, and request a forward link channel in the new service area when a detected signal strength for the new service area exceeds predetermined threshold levels. The forward communications link in the current service area is maintained until the strength of the new service area signal reaches a certain level and appropriate channel quality is confirmed, as based on various known criteria. Typically, service area transitions are detected using the signal strength of pilot or paging signals associated with service areas, which are used to determine a relative signal strength of new service area signals. Pilot signal level adjustments used to counter roll-off effects are detected and compensated for in comparing signal levels. To minimize the burden on system resources, new service area signals are not selectable until a minimum time has passed, or a minimum change in energy from a prior pilot signal is detected. In addition, communications using the previous service area can be dropped almost immediately upon engaging the new service area.

Flow of data units to an address resolution processor is controlled to inhibit multiple data units from a single multicast flow from being enqueued with the address resolution processor. In a switch having a plurality of Input/Output Application Specific Integrated Circuits (“I/O ASICs”) with a plurality of ports, no more than one data unit from each I/O ASIC is permitted to be enqueued with the address resolution processor at any point in time. A separate learn pending indicator may be defined for each I/O ASIC in the switch.

摘要:
A cache line index for an address cache entry is calculated by organizing an address such as a Media Access Control (“MAC”) address into a plurality of intermediate elements, barrel shifting the bits of at least one of the intermediate elements in accordance with predetermined criteria, and folding the intermediate address elements together with an exclusive-OR function. A Virtual Local Area Network (“VLAN”) index may also be included in cache line index calculation. The VLAN index enables segmentation of the cache into virtual tables. The tag portion of the cache entry includes a subset of the complete set of intermediate elements. The intermediate elements in the cache entry can be employed in conjunction with the cache line index to recover the original MAC address. Hence, the size of the tag portion of the address cache entry is reduced relative to the full MAC address without a reduction in the information content of the entry.
摘要:
A satellite communication system for providing communications between user terminals and gateways constituted with m primary satellites. In one embodiment, n back up satellites are also provided. Further, each satellite, primary or back-up, is equipped to project N/m beams onto and across an area in a loosely-packed array manner. M of the m primary and n back-up satellites collectively create N beam spots to cover the area. Moreover, each sub-area is covered by a beam spot separated from another sub-area covered by another beam spot by one beam width. Each satellite is also equipped to facilitate communication over 1 of m band of frequencies on one beam. As a result, any of the m primary satellites may be efficiently replaced on demand by a selected one of the n back-up satellites. The gateways and user terminals are configured to communicate signals through or with both or either the primary and back-up satellites.
