  • Patent number: 10652750
    Abstract: Techniques for efficiently and economically providing data transfer through wireless data networks. These techniques are particularly suitable for Internet data transfers. In one aspect, mobile devices are able to be allocated additional wireless channels to obtain increased data transfer capabilities. The additional wireless channels can be used for unicast, multicast or broadcast of data. These techniques provide additional wireless bandwidth to mobile devices and allows control over allocation of the additional wireless bandwidth.

  • Patent number: 10091121
    Abstract: Techniques for efficiently and economically providing data transfer through data networks are disclosed. The techniques are particularly suitable for Internet data transfers. In one aspect, delayed response processing is utilized. Requests for common content are initially queued. After a short period of time, the queued requests are processed as a group so as to better utilize available bandwidth, particularly in times where traffic or congestion is high. In another aspect, multiple-destination data packets are utilized.

  • Patent number: 7222161
    Abstract: Improved techniques for data delivery from a server machine to client machines through a network are disclosed. The techniques reduce the demands on connection bandwidth between the client machines and the network, and thus enable media-rich data to be delivered with reduced amounts of network bandwidth. The techniques also reduce the bandwidth demands on network servers and overall network infrastructure. According to one aspect, web pages (e.g., markup language documents) can be modified to cause local content to be used or at least preferred over remotely located content.

  • Patent number: 6780923
    Abstract: A molding compound contains a reinforcing fiber, a non-fibrous filler, and an unsaturated polyester resin. The unsaturated polyester resin contains an unsaturated monomer as well as a polyester polymer. The polymer is a unsaturated polyester made from a hydroxyl component and a carboxylic component. The hydroxyl component contains both a monomeric diol or triol, and a polymeric polyol. The polymeric polyol is a hydroxyl-terminated polymer such as polyether or polyester diols or triols. The carboxylic component can be provided by an unsaturated carboxylic diacid, an unsaturated carboxylic anhydride, an unsaturated carboxylic diester or mixtures thereof. Molded articles are provided by compression or extrusion molding of a molding compound as described above. The articles are characterized by improved crack resistance, toughness, and surface appearance.
