Abstract: A method of dynamically managing transmission of packets is disclosed. The method, in some embodiments, may comprise establishing a network session over a communication link between a network and a user device of a user and associating a data transmission parameter with the user device. The method may further comprise receiving a packet and calculating a delay period associated with the packet based on the data transmission parameter and delaying transmission of the packet based on the delay period.

Abstract: A subscriber bandwidth management process and device that allows users/subscribers in a communications network to dynamically alter bandwidth limits independently in both the uplink and downlink data transmission paths. This is accomplished by providing for a single queue in the uplink transmission path and a single queue in the downlink transmission path. Thus, the user/subscriber can efficiently manage their network access according to the specific activity on the network. The network manager benefits from being able structure bandwidth allocation on a per subscriber basis so that overall data transmission is made more efficient. In addition, the bandwidth manager provides active management of the delivery of data (also known as and referred to herein as traffic shaping) to increase throughput from a gateway device onto the network.

Abstract: The device is for the training of medical professionals and others in the detection of breast lumps. It addresses two deficiencies in other models; the ease of lump location memorization and lack of feedback in the detection of a lump. The device is a model of the human female breast consisting of the following tissue simulations; an exterior skin, an interior body, ribs, a base and multiple potential lumps. The notable innovation to breast lump trainers is the employment of tubes to simulate the breast lumps, supply feedback and reduce the user's ability to memorize lump locations. A fine elastic tube inflates at its tip to simulate a breast lump. The pressure applied to the tube is monitored and provides feedback indicating detection of a simulated breast lump. Multiples of these tubes are placed within the trainer body. The tube balloons can be inflated, or ‘turned on’, to variable sizes with air or fluid to simulate breast lumps.

Abstract: A stator case for a gas turbine engine having a stator and a rotor. The rotor has a plurality of circumferential rows of blades. Each blade extends radially outward from a root to a tip. The case includes a tubular shell extending axially between a forward end and an aft end. The shell has an interior surface defining a hollow interior sized and shaped for receiving at least a portion of the rotor of the gas turbine engine. The case also includes a circular forward flange extending radially outward from the forward end of the shell and a circular aft flange extending radially outward from the aft end of the shell. In addition, the case includes a circular rib extending radially outward from the shell between adjacent rows of blades. The rib is sized and shaped for adjusting transient deflections of the shell to generally match transient deflections of the tips of the plurality of rotor blades to reduce a transient clearance between the interior surface of the tubular shell and the tips of the rotor blades.
