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: A two part ventilated seat cover for a motor vehicle seat, comprising a seat portion cushion and a seat back cushion. The two cushions are separated and mutually attached by a bulkhead. The bulkhead prevents air flow between the respective cushions. The cushions are equally sized to help equalize air flow thereto and therefrom. Elastic straps are provided to each cushion to facilitate attachment to the vehicle seat. Air is drawn into the system through an air pick up, then passes through a flexible conduit which branches into two secondary conduits. Each secondary conduit is preferably of equal cross section, each supplying one cushion with equal air flow. Each cushion is perforated only at a respective surface contacting the user, and air is discharged therethrough. Adequate supply of air to each respective cushion is assured by the branched supply conduit, and by separation of air flow within the respective cushions, as effected by the bulkhead.
