Abstract: An order persistent timer is provided in each station on a network to control the timing of transmission of each isochronous data packet from a station, and to also control the timing of transmission of asynchronous data packets that include reservation requests. The OP timer at each station monitors traffic on the network from other stations to detect whether the network is active or idle. In an active state, the OP timer times a set interval of time sufficient to indicate the successful transmission of a packet on the frame. In the idle state (no packet on the network from another station), the OP timer times a number of deferral time intervals that are used with a network interrupt handler at the station to control the transmission of isochronous data packets without collision, and asynchronous data packets thereafter.

Abstract: The present invention has solved the collision problems in a CSMA network protocol and at the same time optimized performance of the network. This is accomplished by giving control of the size of the reserved portion and the size of the reservation portion of the communication frame to stations in the network. Further, the reserved portion is allotted to isochronous data packets each of whose length is variable. Also, only those packets that have a reservation are in the frame, and they are placed in the frame in order in accordance with there position of the permission or reservation list.The network timing is controlled by one of the stations acting as a conductor for the network. This conductor station receives the reservation requests from the other stations and builds a beat packet. The beat packet is transmitted from the conductor station to all stations of the network, and provides the timing or beat of the network that all stations are synchronized with.

Abstract: In radially centrifugally molding sections of concrete pipe with a bell at one end, the concrete is poured downwardly into an upwardly extending mold which forms the outer surface of the pipe section. The lower end of the mold is shaped to form the bell end of the pipe section. The concrete is centrifugally forced outwardly against the inner surface of the mold and then is pressed outwardly by a series of rotatable rollers. A pressure wheel is located within the mold above the position of the rollers for limiting the upward movement of the concrete pressed outwardly against the mold and for increasing the concrete pressure acting downwardly toward the bell end of the concrete pipe section.
