Abstract: An apparatus and a method for detecting network congestion based on a destination node are provided. To elaborate, the apparatus may include: a physical information extraction unit that extracts physical information of an electrical signal received through an antenna of the destination node; a MAC information extraction unit that extracts a size of a MAC frame payload from a MAC frame on the basis of the extracted physical information; a TCP information extraction unit that extracts a size of service data included in the MAC frame payload; a data size comparison unit that compares the size of the MAC frame payload with the size of the service data and generates comparison result data; and a congestion detection unit that receives the comparison result data, compares the comparison result data with a predetermined threshold value, and determines presence or absence of network congestion.

Abstract: Deformable guides for use with smaller persons and/or in a child restraint system are provided. The guides are of at least two varieties, one for inclusion within a belt system, so as to absorb the impact and stresses of a collision or other abrupt vehicular motion and the other of a type useful to guide the restraint system of an automobile about the correct location on a smaller person. The second type permits a smaller individual to be properly secured to a restraint system in spite of his small stature. The guides are made of multiple layers of metal, plastic or other structurally significant materials, or combinations thereof, and designed to receive the energy of a collision such that a guide will deform, without breaking, absorbing the energy of a collision or other abrupt action.

Abstract: A supplemental restraint system that is easy to use in a vehicle is provided. The user of the system is prevented from the damaging effects of being restrained by a shoulder seat belt combination that provides inadequate support to most of the body and can produce injury at the point of contact with the body during an accident. Further, the supplemental restraint system of the present invention provides the user with a harness to better hold the user to the seat and restraint system of the vehicle. The present invention provides a means of dressing an adult or a child in a restraint harness that may be easily attached within a vehicle and provides the user with restraints that fit the user's height and weight requirements.

Abstract: A supplemental restraint system that is easy to use and provides superior protection in an vehicle is provided. The user of the system is prevented from the damaging effects of being restrained by a shoulder seat belt combination that provides inadequate support to most of the body and can produce injury at the point of contact with the body during an accident. Further, the supplemental restraint system of the present invention provides the user with a harness, having an elastic pad stretchable along the harnesses longitudinal axis, to better hold the user to the seat and restraint system of the vehicle while preventing the typical snap-back response to forward motion. In one embodiment a vest, having padding and providing other comforts, is included with the harness.

Abstract: An upright suitcase includes a front section and an opposing rear section, each having an outer panel and a circumferential wall with a bottom edge and a plurality of free edges. The bottom edges are hingedly connected for movement of the opposing front and rear sections between an open position, in which access to the opposing sections is provided, and a closed position, in which all of the edges of the two circumferential walls are in juxtaposition. A zipper closure engages the opposing sections and selectively holds the free edges of the circumferential walls in juxtaposition. A divider panel is positioned within the upright suitcase to at least partially divide the opposing sections from each other when in the closed position. The divider panel has one end flexibly tethered to the rear circumferential wall and is movable into and out of the rear section.

Abstract: A suitcase has a retractable pull handle. The suitcase includes parallel front and back panels and a wall member which combine to define an enclosed volume. A rigid pull handle is mounted in juxtaposition to the top portion of the wall member. Rollers are mounted on the bottom portion of the wall member opposite the pull handle. The pull handle is extendable to pulling position extending generally parallel to the front and back panels. In the extended position, the pull handle is operable to enable a user to roll the suitcase across a surface on the rollers with the weight of the suitcase being distributed between the rollers and the pull handle. The pull handle is retractable into the inside of the suitcase when not in use. In the retracted position, the gripping member of the pull handle is received into a handle receptacle recessed into the top portion of the wall member. A closure secures the pull handle inside the handle receptacle to prevent accidental extension of the pull handle.

Abstract: A suitcase having a pull handle. The pull handle is rotatably affixed to the suitcase with a bracket means to assist the user of the suitcase in pulling same across a flat surface in upright position.

Abstract: A precise digitally-controlled variable attenuation circuit for adjusting e attenuation of a signal in an external circuit includes a signal magnitude detector, a resistance adjustment control, and a resistance divider network. The signal magnitude detector has lower and upper threshold limits representing a desired range of attenuation and is operable to receive and compare a control signal with the lower and upper threshold limits, and, in response thereto, produce either a first signal if the control signal is less than the lower threshold limit or a second signal if the control signal is greater than the upper threshold limit. The adjustment control is capable of receiving the first and second signals and is operable to produce either a digital count-down signal in response to the first signal or a digital count-up signal in response to the second signal. The resistance divider network has a fixed resistance and a digitally-adjustable device with a variable resistance.

Abstract: A BICMOS device and manufacturing method wherein the gates of PMOS and NMOS transistors are formed by forming a first polysilicon layer which is not implanted by an impurity and forming a second polysilicon layer on the first polysilicon layer which is impurity implanted, so that the impurity doped in the second polysilicon layer is prevented from diffusing into the channel region and the voltage characteristic is prevented from changing. Emitter regions of vertical PNP and NPN bipolar transistors are self-aligned in a small chip area, and thereby the performance of the BICMOS device is improved due to the stable threshold voltage characteristic of the PMOS and NMOS transistors and high density is achieved together with improved operation speed clue to the self-alignment formation of the emitter region of the vertical PNP and NPN bipolar transistors.
