 High speed transport protocol with two windows - Patent 5130986
A packet transmission protocol, which operates in a full-duplex mode in a system, which includes a transmitter, a receiver, and a communications network having a channel that logically ties the transmitter and the receiver together through the network, is disclosed.
In high speed networks, this time gap can be of relatively significant duration resulting in a relatively significant loss in throughput.
The flow control window W can be made larger than the bandwidth delay product to allow continued transmission of blocks during the time gap when the transmitter is waiting for the acknowledgement from the receiver as to the retransmitted block and that increase could result in a reduction in the loss of throughput.

 High-Speed Transport - a Necessity
The testing of the lines with conventional trains operating with the 220 km/h speed has started on August 19, and on September 6, the Thalys train was performing the first tests on the new route at 330 km/h, with 10%over the service maximal speed.
This fact is first of all due to the advantages of the railways in comparison to the other modes of transport, mainly in comparison to the road and air transport, with respect to the environment protection.
All these regulations will create hierarchies in the transport services on three areas: short routes (up to 80-100 km), where the supremacy belongs to the road transport, average routes (100-800 km), dominated by the railway transport, and the long routes (over 1000 km), where the air transport predominates.

 High speed transport protocol - Patent 5084877
However, the fruits of these efforts have not yet been realized in internetworking of diverse high speed networks, and have not yet been realized in delivery of high end-to-end bandwidth to applications within an operating system.
It is clear that the limitations due to protocol processing come about because the protocol has to overcome network deficiencies such as bit errors large and varying packet delays in the network, packet loss due to congestion, out-of-order delivery of packets and overflow of buffers at various nodes in the network.
To illustrate where the bottlenecks in present day transport protocols come from, it is instructive to consider a protocol such as the one based on "Go back N method" of error and flow control over a datagram network.

 High Speed Research
In the first generation supersonic transports-the Concorde and the TU-144-the forward vision problem was solved by use of a mechanism that lowers-or "droops"-the forward part of the nose section for takeoffs and landings and thereby affords a clear view forward.
In the second generation supersonic transport, the EVS could save thousands of pounds of droop mechanism weight, weight that could be used to allow increased passenger capacity or greater range.
The tests were flown on Langley Research Center's Transport Systems Research Vehicle (TSRV), a Boeing 737 equipped with a windowless research cockpit in the passenger section in addition to the normal windowed cockpit, and in a Westinghouse BAC 1-11 avionics test aircraft.

The application of the nonlinear theory of thread line dynamics to high speed yarn transport and manufacturing systems has been greatly advanced over the last decade, with many major contributions coming from the faculty on this project and their students.
A new experiment that allows controlled high-speed yarn transport with tight control on rotation and transport speed and accurate tension sensing will be developed to assess the dynamics of unwinding.
It is however evident that the accuracy of prediction of the theoretical model, particularly under extreme conditions, may be improved by introducing slight changes in the assumed values of certain parameters (air drag and traveler friction) and this will be pursued using both theoretical and experimental data.

Based on projections for significant increases in transoceanic air travel, both companies concluded that there will be a market for commercial transports flying at two to three times the speed of sound (1350-2000 mph) between the years 2000 and 2015.
The Boeing and Douglas studies determined that substantial demand for an advanced supersonic transport will materialize only if the aircraft meets allowable standards of airport noise, has no harmful effects on the atmosphere and is economically competitive with future long-haul subsonic airliners.
