A Voice over IP (VoIP) module is used to connect an alarm system to a monitoring station over the Internet. A built-in wireless or Ethernet over A/C power component is described, such that the Voice-over-IP equipment can be placed at a distance from a router, without the need to run an Ethernet cable from the VoIP equipment to the router. This arrangement is useful, as in many cases, the customer's security system is hidden within a closet, or else placed within the home or business at a significant distance from their Internet connection and router. The present invention accomplishes this by adding a built-in WiFi (wireless) radio, or a built-in Ethernet over Power circuit, into the Voice-over-IP equipment installed in the home or business.

The invention discloses an optimal network efficiency delay-constrained routing method for a low-orbit information network. A source node generates RDP data packets, and sends the RDP data packets; an intermediate node searches all links satisfying the delay-constrained optimal network efficiency by adopting a delay-constrained optimal network efficiency routing algorithm, calculates the routing metric on the links, updates the RDP data packets, and sends all the links satisfying the delay-constrained optimal network efficiency to neighbour nodes; a destination node selects the RDP data packet having the maximum routing metric attribute, generates an RRP data packet, and returns the RRP data packet along an effective path pf, wherein path node information in the RDP data packet forms the effective path pf; and, after receiving the RRP data packet, the source node sends service data along the effective path pf. By means of the method disclosed by the invention, a transmission path for maximization of delay-constrained network efficiency expectation is established; therefore, in the dynamic environment of a low-orbit satellite network, the transmission service flow delay-constrained probability can be continuously satisfied by the selected path; and thus, the overall benefit of the network born real-time aggregation service flow is increased.

A control apparatus controls an automatic stop of an engine mounted on a vehicle so as to automatically stop the engine if a predetermined stop condition is satisfied, the stop condition including a condition that a running speed of the vehicle is a prescribed speed or less. The control apparatus includes a prediction unit and a prohibition unit. The prediction unit predicts whether or not the next automatic stop time of the engine is less than a prescribed time capable of obtaining a fuel saving benefit based on a history of a vehicle stop time or an automatic stop time of the engine. The prohibition unit prohibits the next automatic stop of the engine if the prediction unit predicts that the next automatic stop time of the engine is less than the prescribed time.

A low duty cycle wireless device is disclosed. The low duty cycle wireless device includes a high data rate transceiver, a low data rate receiver, and a microprocessor. The low data rate receiver receives a command to receive a large amount of information. The display information far exceeds the capacity for reception through the low data rate receiver. In response to the received command, the microprocessor wakes up from a sleep mode and activates the high data rate transceiver to receive the display information. The microprocessor deactivates the high data rate transceiver once the display information has been received.

A heat exchange system and method for use with a combo-cooler heat exchanger as shown. In one embodiment, a combination of a heat exchanger module with a combo-cooler heat exchanger and a fan shroud is disclosed wherein the fan shroud covers approximately one-hundred percent of the condenser of the combo-cooler heat exchanger and leaves portions of the fluid coolers of the combo-cooler open to ram airflow.

The method according to the present invention renders the surface of bitumen materials to be non-tacky, and minimize or eliminate the loss of the bitumen materials to traffic. The method according to the present invention may also be used on top of prime coat and fog seal, to reduce tackiness of bitumen materials from cured bitumen emulsions, and to decrease unnecessary and unwanted tracking by passing traffic.

Green Roof Blocks is a completely unique approach to covering the surface of roof tops with vegetation. The strategy of using self contained, durable 22 gauge galvalume sheet metal material containers, which can be easily installed and moved, differs from anything currently available in the market place. Much heavier plastic or polypropylene containers are currently on the market with limited success. My product requires no machinery to lift, nor any particular training to install. The use of rubber composite walk pad material as resting pads assures roofing system compatibility and warranty integrity. Thus no additional materials are required to separate the container from the roofing system. In fact, the walk pad material can be procured from different roofing system manufacturers allowing the roofing system manufacturer to provide a material acceptable to come in contact with the roofing material. This ease of use, choice of material and configuration, and system compatibility is unique to my invention.
