Abstract: A vehicle carriable barbed wire fence pulling assembly incorporating a trailer having a load bed; a plurality of spindles, each spindle being mounted upon the load bed, each spindle being adapted for receiving a barbed wire spool; a winch and traction cable combination overlying the load bed, the combination being adapted for, upon a longitudinal extension of the combination's traction cable from the load bed, pulling the cable oppositely longitudinally; an anchoring assembly attaching an oppositely longitudinal end of the winch and traction cable combination to the load bed, the anchoring assembly including an elastically deformable link adapted for oppositely longitudinally translating the cable pull; an electronic strain gauge fixedly attached to the elastically deformable link; a strain meter electrically connected to the electronic strain gauge, the strain meter being adapted for displaying a magnitude of the cable pull; and a hitch adapted for attaching the trailer to the vehicle.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for in-line processing a data packet while routing the packet through a router in a system transmitting data packets between a source and a destination over a network including the router. The method includes receiving the data packet and pre-processing layer header data for the data packet as the data packet is received and prior to transferring any portion of the data packet to packet memory. The data packet is thereafter stored in the packet memory. A routing through the router is determined including a next hop index describing the next connection in the network. The data packet is retrieved from the packet memory and a new layer header for the data packet is constructed from the next hop index while the data packet is being retrieved from memory. The new layer header is coupled to the data packet prior to transfer from the router.

Abstract: The extended AV interval of an auto intrinsic conduction search of an implantable cardiac stimulation device has premature atrial contraction protection. A timer times a base AV interval and the extended AV interval. If the heart is paced with the extended AV interval and a premature atrial contraction is detected, the extended AV interval is maintained. Once a predetermined number of consecutive premature atrial contractions are detected, the extended AV interval is reset to the base AV interval.

Abstract: A method and device for in-line processing a data packet is provided. The data packet is received at a first buffer. The data packet is divided into a number of cells that are stored in a first queue. For each cell, a cell state code is stored that indicates an address of the corresponding cell in the first queue and an indication of a sequence order of the cell within the data packet.
