Access method for periodic contention-free sessions

An access method for periodic contention-free sessions (PCFS) reduces interference between overlapping first and second wireless LAN cells contending for the same medium. Each cell includes a respective plurality of member stations and an access point (AP) station. The access method for periodic contention-free sessions (PCFS) includes a fixed cycle time that reduces conflicts with PCFS from other cells. The PCFS from several cells are repeated in cycles of cycle period (CP), which is the contention-free period (CFP) of an access point times a factor that is a function of the number of overlapping cells. Periodic contention-free sessions (PCFSs) are generated, one from each overlapping cell. PCFS transmission attempts occur at the fixed specified time spacing following the start of the previous cycle. Each active AP sets a timer at CP and a PCFS is initiated when the timer expires. The timer is then reset to CP and this starts a new cycle. Contention transmissions are attempted by stations based on their assigned priority. If a channel is busy at the designated start time for transmitting a PCFS, the PCFS is shortened by the time lost. Interleaving PCFSs and CFSs reduces conflicts with CFSs from other cells. To lessen the contention between APs of different cells, each station's Network Allocation Vector (NAV) and Inter-BSS Network Allocation Vector (IBNAV) is updated by an increased value of the next CFS length, the increment being the inter-BSS contention period (IBCP). APs will attempt to access the channel during the IBCP only for transmitting a PCFS, while they will wait for the NAV and IBNAV expirations before attempting to transmit a CFS. Interleaving PCFSs and CFSs also enables maintaining quality of service (QoS).

High duty cycle ion spectrometer

An ion spectrometer is provided, comprising: an ion source, arranged to generate ions continuously with a first range of mass to charge ratios; and an ion trap, arranged to receive ions from the ion source along an axis, and to eject ions with a second range of mass to charge ratios orthogonally to that axis, the second range of mass to charge ratios being narrower than the first range of mass to charge ratios. In some embodiments, ions generated by the ion source continuously flow into the ion trap. Additionally or alternatively, ion optics receive ions ejected from the ion trap and cool the ions without substantial fragmentation. An ion analyser receives ions ejected from the ion trap or ion optics and separates the ions in accordance with at least one characteristic of the ions.

Monitoring Method And System

This invention relates to a monitoring method and system for monitoring the dispensing of medicaments in a hospital from a portable medicament dispensing station. The medicament dispensing station 3 has a first identification means 9 and a second identification means 13 for capturing identifiers relating to an individual wishing to dispense a medicament. A releasable locking mechanism 23 is provided that will allow dispensing of medicaments on appropriate identifiers being captured and authenticated. The identifier data is transmitted to a monitoring unit 5 over a communications network 8 and is stored in a remote monitoring unit memory 7 for future reference. By implementing such a system and method, tampering with the data input to the system is obviated and traceability and accountability are facilitated.

Drive arrangement, especially for a lifting mechanism and/or a traveling drive

ActiveUS20050012483A1Optimal switching timeLong acceleration timeSingle-phase induction motor startersDC motor speed/torque controlConductor CoilPower switching
The invention concerns a drive arrangement of a lifting gear and / or a traveling gear, with a pole-reversible rotary-current motor with windings for at least two different actuating speeds, with a pole switching element connecting the rotary-current motor to a voltage supply for changing between the actuating speeds of the rotary-current motor. In order to create a drive arrangement of a lifting gear and / or a traveling gear with a rotary-current motor, whose switching behavior is optimized in relation to the actuation of the rotary-current motor, it is proposed that a power switching element (3) be hooked up in front of the pole switching element (5), and it can be separated from the voltage supply via the power switching element (3) for the pole switching process of the rotary-current motor (2).
