  • Patent number: 10647948

  • Patent number: 10205663
    Abstract: Each point-of-presence advertises the network addresses it hosts and the network addresses hosted by other points-of-presence. Each point-of-presence also announces its own network addresses at a higher degree of specificity than the other network addresses it is announcing. When a point-of-presence fails, packets routed to a network address hosted by that point-of-presence will be routed to one of the other points-of-presence announcing the same network address. When a point-of-presence is available, its more specific network address announcements prevents packets routed to a network address hosted by that point-of-presence from being routed to any other point-of-presence.

  • Patent number: 7833080
    Abstract: The invention relates to a control system and method for electric toy vehicles. The invention is suitable for vehicles which are controlled using a control element, which are actuated by an electric micromotor and which move on tracks comprising a guide groove which is flanked by electronductive tracks. Moreover, each vehicle is provided with a dynamic current collector and guide assembly comprising a guide flange which keeps the vehicle on the track. The inventive system comprises a transmitting control device which is associated with the above-mentioned control element in order to transmit signals in the form of digital waves which control the operation of the vehicle, a control device which receives the aforementioned signals and which is built into the vehicle, and actuation means which are connected to said receiving device. According to the invention, the signals are applied to at least one electronductive track which can be shared temporarily by at least two vehicles equipped with respective receivers.
