Abstract: Resolving heterogeneous communication collisions in a system includes measuring a quality-of service value for at least one communication connection, determining if a communication collision is reducing the quality-of-service value to below a pre-determined threshold, and, if a communication collision is reducing the quality-of-service value to below a pre-determined threshold, iteratively modifying the at least one communication connection until either a maximum number of iterations has been exceeded or the quality of service value exceeds the pre-determined threshold.

Abstract: A deflection unit for a cathode ray tube, the deflection unit having saddle-shape sets of coils which are wound in slots which extend along the inside of a one-piece coil form. The coil form is flared so as to conform to the outer surface of the envelope of a cathode ray tube. The coils are wound so as to be interleaved in respective slots of the coil form thereby ensuring that the two sets of coils have substantially equal diameters with respect to a central longitudinal axis of the coil form. In further embodiments, apparatus is provided for rotatably affixing the deflection unit to the cathode ray tube so as to permit rotation of the cathode ray tube image. Such rotation may be achieved by an electric motor.
