20130173238 | METHOD FOR THE MODELING OF CRYOGENIC SPILLS AND POOL FIRES ON THE MARITIME TRANSPORTATION OF LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS (LNG) - Mathematical modeling of the flow and spreading mechanics of a cryogenic fluid poured into the sea forming a pool, and the subsequent thermal plume coming from fires of turbulent diffusion, with conservative integral formulation considering the balance between the quantity poured from the ship and that which vaporizes in the pool. The contributions of the mechanisms of heat transfer at the interface between the substrate and the cryogenic film and the radiative feedback coming from the combustion in the lowest region of the thermal plume and the pool are taken into account. The modeling provides a scheme for the development of dimensionless scale parameters, allows correlation and extrapolation of the length or height of the visible flame with the slope of said flame, the emissive power of its surface, and mass flow rate of vaporization of the liquid fuel in the pool. | 07-04-2013 |

20100046497 | METHOD AND AN APPARATUS FOR A QUICK RETRANSMISSION OF SIGNALS IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A method and an apparatus for quick retransmission of signals in a communication system are disclosed. A transmitting terminal, e.g., a base station, transmits signals in a form of packets to a receiving terminal, e.g., a subscriber station. The receiving terminal determines if the packet was intended for the receiving terminal, and if so, the receiving terminal demodulates the packet. The receiving terminal then computes a quality metric of the packet, and compares the computed quality metric with a quality metric contained in the packet. If the quality metrics match, the packet is declared correctly received, and is forwarded for further processing. If the quality metrics fail to match, the receiving terminal sends a request for retransmission of the packet. The transmitting terminal determines which packet needs to be retransmitted based on the request for retransmission. The transmitting terminal then schedules the packet for retransmission. | 02-25-2010 |

20090300458 | REVERSE LINK AUTOMATIC REPEAT REQUEST - An Access Network (AN) can send an acknowledge message (ACK) to an Access Terminal (AT) to indicate that the AN has successfully decoded the data received in the first set of slots of the first data packet. The AN can send a negative acknowledge message (NAK) to the AT to indicate that the AN has not successfully decoded the data received in the first set of slots of a first data packet. Based upon receipt of the NAK, the AT can resend the data by sending a second set of slots of the first data packet containing redundant data. Based upon receipt of the ACK, the AT can send a first set of slots of another packet. The AT can gate off for a predetermined period of time after sending the first set of slots of a first packet and before sending a next set of slots. | 12-03-2009 |
