Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable medium for determining the upper bound of the end-to-end delay of a multiframe flow in a multihop Ethernet network. Flows are characterized by the generalized multiframe model, the route of each flow is pre-specified and the output queue of each link schedules Ethernet frames by static-priority scheduling.

Abstract: A method and service-related nodes for providing a deferred distance notification for at least two user devices. A Location-based gateway receives a request for a deferred distance notification for user devices, and sends a request to a Location enabler for the location of the user devices. The gateway receives location data from the Location enabler, and monitors the fulfillment of user device distance-related event criteria. When a user device distance-related event criterion is fulfilled, the gateway triggers the deferred distance notification, and sends the notification of the user device distance event to an application node. The application node sends a location request after which the Application node receives the notification. Distance notification can thus be provided to a user requesting a location-deferred service, such that the location of entire groups of users can be revealed to the requesting party.

Abstract: A computerized method includes broadcasting, from a node, a request to a plurality of neighboring nodes, the request triggering the plurality of neighboring nodes to contend for access to a medium to transmit information; receiving, in the node, a priority value from each of the plurality of neighboring nodes; determining if the node is a winning node from among the neighboring nodes based on the received priority values and a priority value of the node; granting access to the medium to the node if it is the winning node; and performing an action in the physical world in response to data transmitted from the node if it is the winning node. The node and each of the plurality of neighboring nodes includes at least one sensor. The priority values of the node and of the plurality of neighboring nodes are assigned based on readings of the at least one sensors.

Abstract: Method for treatment, in the form of regeneration, of an accumulator (160) having at least one cell, preferably lead batteries, in which a varying direct current from a power source (130) is applied in intermittent current supply periods, which are interrupted by pauses of substantially less current, preferably current free, the direct current being sufficient to generate gas in the accumulator. During the treatment process, process data is registered, which process data is used in order to control the treatment process.

Abstract: A steering wheel arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a steering column having a first end for cooperation with a steering wheel and a second end for cooperation with a vehicle steering mechanism. The steering wheel arrangement further includes a suspension arrangement for the steering column. The suspension arrangement includes two pivot joints and is pivotally connected to the steering column via a third pivot joint, the first, second and third pivot joints including first, second and third locking arrangements, respectively. The steering wheel arrangement has thus three adjustable pivot points where only one or two of the three pivot joints are adjustable in a first step depressing a foot pedal to a first position and only the remaining of the three pivot joints are adjustable in a second step depressing the foot pedal to a second position which implies that the adjustments can be made in a secure way by the driver during the ride.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method to identify message sequences occurring in a computer or communication system. The present invention defines and detects undesirable sequence of messages, suppresses generation of undesirable sequences, and, if necessary, causes the termination of the execution of generating program module, or otherwise inhibiting the source of the undesirable message sequence. A report, indicating the messages generated as part of the undesirable message sequence and the generating program module and related information is provided. Message sequences transmitted to and from one program module to another program module may be tracked. In tracking messages, a starting message point may be set and all subsequent message transmittals may be included in a message depth and sequence depth count.
