  • Publication number: 20080144621
    Abstract: In an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) system, an IPTV server is configured to receive a request from an IPTV content storage device (CSD) to view a video stream. The IPTV server selects a set of peers for the IPTV CSD, and transmits the set of peers to the IPTV CSD. In the system, a capacity of a fiber to the node (FTTN) switch in a down linking direction is greater than or equal to a sum of a number of simultaneous viewers supported by the FTTN switch plus a number of viewers that receive video streams from peers in the same community.

  • Publication number: 20080023180
    Abstract: The heat exchanger includes a tube having axially spaced fins or a continuously spirally wound fin about the tube. One or more of the fins are dimpled, mechanically or molded, to provide concavities and projections on opposite sides of the fins or alternating concavities and projections on opposite side of the fins. The dimples improve the heat transfer between the fluid flowing through the tubes and the air circulating about the tubes and through the fins. The dimples create vortices and turbulent flow between the fins and effectively increase the heat transfer rate.
