  • Publication number: 20050114749
    Abstract: A method of operating in a network in which a plurality of stations communicate over a shared medium. The method comprises transmitting a group of bits from a transmitting station to a receiving station, wherein the group of bits comprises information bits and error checking bits, and communicating additional bits from the transmitting station to the receiving station without transmitting the additional bits. Communicating the additional bits comprises, at the transmitting station, deriving the error checking bits from the additional bits using an error checking process; and at the receiving station, using the same or a related error checking process to process candidate bits known to the receiving station, and comparing the output of the error checking process to the error checking bits received from the transmitting station to determine if the candidate bits correspond to the additional bits.

  • Publication number: 20050023278
    Abstract: There is disclosed a thermally reflective liner (20) for providing thermal insulation within a container (1). The liner (20) comprises: four long panels (25) which are joined along their long sides forming a tube of approximately rectangular cross section; an end panel (30) which seals the end of the tube; means for closing the tube (35; 60), such that total thermal insulation can be provided to the enclosed space within the liner (20); a plurality of loops (40) provided along the long seams (45) of the liner (20); and at least one piece of webbing material (50) which can be threaded between the plurality of loops (40) on the liner (20) and a plurality of hooks (15) on the container (1) to retain the liner (20) within the container (1), such that an air gap is provided between the sides and top of the liner (20) and the container (1). A method for thermally insulating a container (1) with a thermally reflective liner (20) is also disclosed.
