Abstract: A system and method for determining a propagation delay between nodes in a packet network are provided. The system and method include sending a ping packet from a source node to a destination node, determining an intermediate node delay of the ping packet at an intermediate node and recording the intermediate node delay in the ping packet and determining the propagation delay at the destination node by using the intermediate node delay.

Abstract: A method of and an apparatus for transmitting a universal plug and play audio/video (UPnP-AV) stream is disclosed, which transmits a media stream from a media server to an media renderer, using an integrated protocol which combines an universal plug and play (UPNP) audio/video (AV) protocol and a residential Ethernet (ResE) subscription protocol. According to the method, an integrated protocol combining an UPnP-AV protocol and an Ethernet protocol can be used. Additionally, a secured quality of service (QoS) can be provided for the UPnP-AV stream.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for approval of a time-dependent stream input to a predetermined node in a residential Ethernet system, the method including the steps of receiving a transmission request of the time-dependent stream by the predetermined node, extracting a pacing parameter and a cycle number, which are a delay value of the predetermined node and a transmission period of the time-dependent stream, respectively, from the transmission-requested time-dependent stream, calculating a transmission bandwidth of an entire time-dependent stream to be transmitted through the predetermined node, by taking into consideration the pacing parameter and the cycle number, determining if the transmission bandwidth, which includes the transmission-requested time-dependent stream, satisfies a total transmission bandwidth based on the pacing parameter and the cycle number and determining whether to approve the transmission-requested time-dependent stream.

Abstract: Provided are a time synchronizing method and apparatus based on a time stamp. The time synchronizing method includes: transmitting a local time stamp based on a free-running local clock to a master node; receiving a response time stamp from the master node; calculating a delta time value based on the response time stamp; filtering the delta-time using a digital low pass filter running at the free-running local clock rate; and adjusting a local clock time based on the filtered delta time value.

Abstract: Residential Ethernet stream transmitting method and apparatus are provided. The residential Ethernet stream transmitting method includes transmitting a data frame comprising multi-cycle traffic information and receiving the data frame within an admission control condition based on the multi-cycle traffic information.

Abstract: Disclosed is a clock recovery method and apparatus for CBR traffic in the packet switching network so as to recover the clock of the CBR traffic upon transmission by inserting a small amount of random packets to the CBR traffic stream which has arrived in a receiver. According to the present inventive concept, the CBR streams are added with the random traffic streams in the packet switching network, so that the clock of the CBR streams upon transmission can be recovered, and jitter and wander according to clock recovery can be reduced.

Abstract: Provided are a guaranteed isochronous services method and apparatus in bridged LAN. Isochronous streams are transmitted through bridges to a plurality of listener stations in a distributed network, and each bridge performs filtering, stream group registration and authentication for the isochronous streams. Accordingly, quality of service (QoS) in a distributed network can be improved. Furthermore, isochronous streams to the plurality of listener stations can be guaranteed.

Abstract: A method for generating a super frame of a predetermined size in a a residential Ethernet system for separately transmitting isochronous data and asynchronous data includes the steps of: receiving by the residential Ethernet system the isochronous data and the asynchronous data to be transmitted through the residential Ethernet system; dividing the received isochronous data into a plurality of sub-frames according to synchronous links; inserting an Ethernet header into each of the sub-frames, thereby generating a plurality of isochronous packets; and employing a remaining area, which is obtained by excepting an area of the isochronous packets from the predetermined size, as an asynchronous packet area, and inserting asynchronous packets including the asynchronous data into the asynchronous packet area.

Abstract: An optical channel assigning system in an optical network including a source node, a destination node, and a network controller for controlling transmission of data through a plurality of optical channels that connect the source node and the destination node to each other and a method of assigning data to the optical channels. The network controller assigns the data to the optical channels in the order in which the transmission information of the data is received from at least one user before a predetermined time from the transmission starting time of the data and, when a region capable of being assigned following data is not secured in the optical channels, at least one of dividing the following data into regions to assign to the plurality of optical channels and of tuning the optical channels again to re-assign the data items to the optical channels is performed.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a conductive polyurethane foam in which the polymerization is made easy, the refinement of pyrrole or the like is not required, the recovery rate of a solvent is enhanced, and the pre-treatment is not required at all; and a conductive polyurethane foam having excellent performances. This method includes a process: of coating an oxidizer solution (methanol solution containing FeCl.sub.3 and FeCl.sub.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a process for producing an epoxy adhesive auxiliary which is a liquid reclaimed from rigid polyurethane foam and an epoxy adhesive which contains the auxiliary. The epoxy adhesive auxiliary can be produced, without requiring any special apparatus for purification, by incorporating rigid polyurethane foam (200 g) in powder form (5-10 mm in size) with glycol such as polyethylene glycol (100 g) and amino alcohol such as 2-aminoethanol (5 g), and heating them at 150.degree.-280.degree. C., thereby chemically decomposing the rigid polyurethane foam into a viscous liquid. This reclaimed liquid (50-300 g) is incorporated as such into an epoxy resin adhesive base such as bisphenol A-type epoxy resin (100 g), containing optional diethylamine (6-8 g). The resulting epoxy resin adhesive is superior in tensile shear bond strength.
