摘要:
A motor controller system is taught in which an overload relay board utilizes a current monitor which produces an output signal which is related to the current being sensed thereby over a wide range of currents which may vary for instance between 1 and 1,000 amperes. This indicative signal is converted to a DC voltage level which is then provided to the analog-to-digital portion of a microprocessor for being converted to a digital number for being processed by the microprocessor for causing the contacts of the motor controller to open at appropriate current values. The system utilizes an integrating capacitor which samples the output current from the sensor 32 times in succession providing a voltage which is proportional to the line current. This voltage which may exceed the input voltage level of the analog-to-digital converter is nevertheless supplied to the analog-to-digital converter and sampled internally by the microprocessor at double the line cycle time period until the 32 samplings have expired. If at any time during this doubled sampling process the output of the analog-to-digital converter digitally saturates, the left shifting technique is provided with other memory locations within the microprocessor to provide an approximate double value of voltage so that at the end of the 32 line half cycles a very close approximation of the actual current is contained within storage locations within the microprocessor for effective utilization thereby.

An electromagnetic contactor is taught which includes a conduction angle controlled triac or similar gated device which is connected in series circuit relationship with the winding of an electromagnetic solenoid or coil which is responsible for closing the contactor contacts and for keeping them closed. The current flowing through the triac is fed to a microprocessor which digitizes the current and compares it to a stored standard. The conduction angle is then decremented or incremented as necessary to change the conduction angle to cause less or more current to flow per half cycle until the amount of current flowing as sensed on a half-cycle-by-half-cycle basis is equal to the current represented by the stored standard.

A method of traffic regulation in a packet communication network involves a token bucket associated with a subscriber. Packets arriving at the regulator are handled in accordance with the token bucket configuration. The method involves measuring a demand placed on the network by the subscriber. The token bucket configuration is dynamically adjusted based on the demand. Another method of traffic regulation handles packets arriving at the regulator in accordance with first and second token bucket configurations. The first token bucket regulates packet rate while the second token bucket regulates data rate. Another method of traffic regulation involves handling packets in accordance with a token bucket configuration, where the amount of tokens to be removed is based on the amount of the flow and is further based on a classification of the flow. Packet-level devices for traffic regulation are also contemplated.

摘要:
Network architectures and protocols to support enhancements to the decision making process of standard routing protocols are described. Embodiments allow decisions to be exchanged between networks, or autonomous systems, about which internetwork paths have been chosen for outbound traffic. Some embodiments of the invention allow information about the measured performance of internetwork paths to be exchanged between autonomous systems. Embodiments allow additional policy information to be communicated between networks, including but not limited to information about why local policy decisions have been made; requests of policies from remote networks; performance information about particular paths; and informational status. Such information may be exchanged dynamically between networks.
摘要:
A power line carrier communication system for monitoring refrigerated containers which includes a master monitoring unit and a first power line interface which interchange messages in a first format. The first power line interface translates the first format to a second format suitable for power line environment, and messages in the second format are applied to a power line. Remote monitoring units receive the messages from the power line, and they return messages to the power line containing status data relative to refrigerated containers. The second format includes a message starting preamble having a duration and logic level which is not duplicated by normal operation of the apparatus, enhancing the probability of proper message synchronization and reception over noisy power line environments.
