Systems and methods are disclosed for the operation of a network of cognitive radios in a dynamic network topology. The systems and methods make use cross-layer communications to input parameters required by network services into a reasoning engine, which in turns processes the parameter the parameter information and reports linguistic results to the network services. The cross-layer communications are leveraged to shift network service functionality to the MAC or PHY Layers. Route discovery functionality is shifted from routing services down to the MAC or PHY Layers. The route discovery functionality is implemented by a process to elect a relay node based on the number of available channels that each of the source node neighbors has available to communicate with other neighbors.

Pallet brake track assembly

A pallet brake track assembly for use in an inclined pallet flow system to maintain slow movement of descending loaded pallets and including, in its most preferred embodiment, first and second frame members extending in parallel to form an extended inner channel, a plurality of inner axles transversely connected between the first and second frame members and located within the extended inner channel, a plurality of inner wheels rotatably mounted on the plurality of inner axles, a plurality of inner cylindrical spacers with axial slits for snap-on assembly coaxially connected around the plurality of inner axles, a brake apparatus located at least partially within the extended inner channel and including a support assembly connected to the first and second frame members and a cylindrical brake drum with a rubber contact surface rotatably connected to the support assembly, a plurality of outer axles connected to at least one of the first and second frame members adjacent to the brake apparatus, each of the outer axles extending outward and away from the extended inner channel, and a plurality of outer wheels rotatably mounted on the plurality of outer axles at locations outside the extended inner channel. The brake drum is biased to extend above the other wheels to provide an improved braking ability. The pluralities of inner and outer wheels are arranged to maximize flow availability and to minimize damage to both the brake apparatus and the loaded goods.
