US Patent:

54108810, May 2, 1995

Filed:

Jan 24, 1994

Appl. No.:

8/185267

Inventors:

Martin J. Ellis - Brunswick OH

International Classification:

B60T 1130
F15B 710

US Classification:

60584

Abstract:

A vacuum activated brake reservoir refilling apparatus and a vacuum activated brake fluid recovery apparatus. The invention utilizes vacuum created during the normal brake bleeding procedure and includes a holding container filled containing fresh brake fluid and an adjustable fluid distribution attachment which is clamped to a vehicle reservoir. An unobstructed path connects the bleeder valve to be bled and a fluid collection container. Both containers utilize check valves. The holding container can only valve air into its chamber, and the collection container can only valve air out of its chamber during the brake bleeding process.

H04L 65/80

Abstract:

An agent interfaces with a sending computing device and a receiving computing device to automatically adjust one-way or two-way real-time audio and real-time video transmission parameters responsive to changing network conditions and/or application requirements. The agent incorporates a reinforcement learning model that adjusts transmission parameters to maximize an expected value of a sum of future rewards; the expected value of the sum of future rewards is based on a current state of the sending computing, a current action (e.g. a current set of transmission parameters) at the sending computing device and a reward provided by the receiving computing device. The reward is representative of a user-perceived quality of experience at the receiving computing device.
