20080236322 | Transmission range shift control with neutral position lock - A range selection control system for a transmission facilitates safe operation of a power take off. A fluid actuated range piston assembly within a range cylinder moves between low range and high range positions. Range cylinder and range piston assembly define sealed high range and low range chambers. A neutral cylinder intersects range cylinder. A fluid actuated neutral piston assembly within neutral cylinder defines a neutral chamber. Neutral piston assembly engages range control piston assembly responsive to pressurization of neutral chamber. Neutral piston assembly is received by an engagement feature of range piston assembly when range control piston assembly is in a neutral position, retaining range piston assembly there.

20120318250 | TWO-STROKE ENGINE - The two-stroke engine has a plurality of intake passages extending from the external air inlet port through the crankcase, separating the intake air charge from the air and oil vapor within the crankcase. The piston has one or more corresponding inlet tubes depending therefrom that telescope within the crankcase intake passages as the piston reciprocates. All intake air travels through these passages and is separated from the remainder of the crankcase volume. The incoming air charge passes through a concentric poppet valve in the piston crown to enter the combustion chamber. Fuel is provided by conventional direct or port injection and ignition is provided by one or more conventional spark plugs. Diesel operation is achievable when the engine is configured appropriately. Exhaust exits the combustion chamber through a poppet valve in the cylinder head, the poppet valve being actuated by a rocker arm and pushrod from a crankshaft driven cam. | 12-20-2012 |

20090133769 | STRUCTURE OF HOSE - A hose includes at least an inner-layer tubular member, an intermediate layer, and an outer-layer tubular member. Both the inner-layer tubular member and the outer-layer tubular member are made of plastics. The intermediate layer is formed by wrapping a net. An outer surface of the intermediate layer is provided with a helical structure made of plastics and the outer-layer tubular member encloses the helical structure. The helical structure has a mechanical strength greater than the outer-layer tubular member. Since both the helical structure and the outer-layer tubular member are similarly made of plastics, the bonding strength therebetween can be enhanced. When the hose is subjected to bending, the helical structure helps to prevent the hose from being compressed and deformed, thereby maintaining the inside diameter of the hose to ensure smooth flow of liquid or gas through the hose. | 05-28-2009 |

20110243128 | COMBOPHONE WITH QoS ON CABLE ACCESS - A method of providing QoS to a session from a client to a first network includes providing data packets from the client to be conveyed in a session from the client to a first network, inserting each of the data packets into an encapsulating packet, and transmitting the encapsulating packets through the second network to the first network, forming a tunnel through the second network. The method includes receiving the encapsulating packets at a terminating device in the first network. The terminating device removes the encapsulating headers to recover the data packets. The method includes determining an association between the packet headers of the data packets and the encapsulating headers, identifying data packets requiring QoS, and using the association to identify encapsulating packets corresponding data packets requiring Quality of Service. The method includes applying QoS to the encapsulating packets, corresponding to the session of data packets requiring the QoS, being conveyed through the tunnel. | 10-06-2011 |
20110289202 | DISTRIBUTED POLICY SERVICES FOR MOBILE AND NOMADIC NETWORKING - A method of disseminating topology information related to a subscriber in a system having one or more networks, each network having access devices and policy functions, includes identifying a current location of the subscriber by a serving policy function. The method further includes forwarding information relating to the current location from the serving policy function to an anchor policy function associated with the subscriber. The process of identifying the location of the subscriber and forwarding the information to the anchor policy server is repeated each time the subscriber changes its physical location. The system uses the current location information to route policy information from the anchor policy function to the policy function that is serving the subscriber. The system may use a push model, a pull model, or a combination thereof, to disseminate the topology information. | 11-24-2011 |
