Abstract: A method is provided to control scheduling of transmission and reception by a TDMA radio. This method allows individual transmissions and receptions to be independently configured for different frequencies, coding rates, modulation schemes, in fact anything which the radio modem allows to be configured. In addition, this scheduling and configuration may be configured and reconfigured in real time without disrupting radio operations.

Abstract: A system and method for providing quality of service (QoS) service over a mobile IP network with dynamic domains, multiple or distributed QoS managers per domain and/or with network congestion feedback being used to establish an estimated total domain bandwidth which is used for regulating access to a domain.

Abstract: A method and a device for supporting communication between a cognitive communication device and a non-cognitive communication device is provided. The cognitive device can support multiple frequencies and/or can change transmission parameters/characteristics such as the multiple access scheme used. The method includes determining if a communication signal is received from a cognitive communication device. If the communication signal is received from a non-cognitive communication device, a transmission parameter of the communication signal is identified and used to support all communication with the non-cognitive communication device. If the communication signal is received from a non-cognitive communication device, the method may further include determining if the non-cognitive communication device supports communication using packets.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for promoting the rapid curing of a two component polyurethane lacquer that has been applied to a substrate. A cure coat composition consisting of a hydroxy functional polymer such as nitrocellulose, a solvent for the polymer, and a urethane catalyst such as an organic tin compound, is applied over the polyurethane lacquer while it is in a wet or semi-dry state.

Abstract: Disclosed is a primer coating for cycloolefin polymer articles comprising an alkyd resin, a urea-formaldehyde resin, at least one 2-4 carbon alkanol, a nonleafing aluminum pigment and an acid catalyst. A cellulose ester and a solvent for the cellulose ester may also be included. The primer coating prevents migration of antioxidant from the cycloolefin polymer into a subsequently applied topcoat.

Abstract: A process for lacquer finishing of open-grain woods such as mahogany, comprising the steps of forming, within the pores of the wood, a film substantially insoluble in lacquer thinner, and thereafter applying lacquer, whereby gas bubbles located within the pores of the wood are unable to rise to the surface of the wood and form blisters.
