use different bit rates. We propose a novel access method derived from 802.11 DCF [2] (Distributed Coordination Function) in which all hosts use similar values of the contention window CW to benefit from good short-term access fairness. We call our method Idle Sense, because each host observes

Abstract The U-slot patch antenna was originally developed as a single-layer, single-patch wideband antenna. It has recently been shown that it can also be designed to perform a number of other functions. In this paper, a comprehensive account is given on the development of this antenna. Emphasis

Computational results are obtained for the with and length as functions of the complex frequency for different layer’s thickness of the slot resonator with four layers.

received over a network. There are various language facilities for callbacks in C++, including function pointers, member function pointers,

the 'slot cloud'. The co-located satellites in the orbital slot together form a network and, particularly when using and communicating with the Internet Protocol, can be viewed as a network 'cloud' that provides functionality in a flexible manner.

ABSTRACT In this paper, we are introducing a new method of granular exam-to-slot allocation based on the preprocessing of the basic student-exam information into a more abstract (granulated) entity of conflict chains. Since the conflict chains are designed to capture the mutual dependencies

are continually trying to improve the systems that they have on the market. In this paper the authors analyze player tracking and slot accounting systems based on their costs, functions, sizes, hardware requirements, and software requirements respectively, which may help casino executives better understand

of poor reproducibility of the final water content. Vacuum slot extraction is becoming more popular in textile wet processing because of its energy efficiency and other economic benefits. The basic principles of vacuum slot extraction are reviewed. The function of the components of a vacuum extractor

structure descriptions, rule-based grammars, and derivation or transition oriented recognition. The following choices result in a new parser: The structure to be assigned to the input is a dependency tree with lexical, morpho-syntactic and functional-syntactic information associated with each node and coded

We consider the uplink of a cellular sys- tem where M mobiles transmit over a common chan- nel to a base station. We assume that the mobiles use a modified slotted ALOHA protocol to access the channel. The mobiles have access to the uplink SNR, and hence the transmission probability in each slot
