S-PARAMETER BASED MACRO-MODEL OF DISTRIBUTED-LUMPED NETWORKS 
USING PADE' APPROXIMATION
Haifang Liao, Rui Wang, Rajit Chandra, and Wayne Dai
October 1992, 17 pages (paper copy $5.00)

Abstract:  A Scattering-Parameters (S-Parameters) based macromodel of 
distributed-lumped networks is presented, The networks can include 
capacitive cutsets, inductive loops, RLC meshes, and lossy transmission
lines. An efficient network reduction algorithm is developed to reduce 
the original network into a network containing one multiport component 
together with the sources and loads of interest. The S-Parameters of the
circuit components are approximated by Taylor series to simplify the 
reduction process. Pade' approximation is used to derive the macromodel.
The macromodel is very flexible that the accuracy of the model can be 
controlled by adjusting the order of approximation. The experimental 
results indicate that our model can approach the accuracy of SPICE with
one or two order less computing time.

[this message has already appeared in various sci.* groups]

My question is if NASA-Langley Technical Memorandums
and Technical Papers were available in PostScript form
for anonymous ftp, would you find this desirable?

I am contemplating making them available and would like
to have some feedback to determine if such a service is waranted.

Caveat #1 - The files would be available in directories 
corresponding to the year that they were released.  An ascii
Index of titles and possibly abstracts could be provided.
Thus, searching is limited to perusing the abstract list.

Caveat #2 - Some figures in the documents might not be availiable
in electronic form.  That is, some pictures and such that are
part of the final TM/TP do not exist electronically.  I have no
idea how many papers this affects and to what extent.

If you have feelings about this service, one way or another,
please contact me.  I have set follow-ups to sci.research, but 
email would be the easiest method.  I can post the results of the
inquiry and the status of the project if it is desired.

thank you for your time,

Abstract

Global filesystems and new file transfer protocols are a great need and 
challenge in the presence of drastically growing networks. In this paper 
we present results obtained from an investigation of access to public files
which took place over three months. This work visualizes first results
on the popularity of public ftp files, on common operations
(deletions, updates and insertions) to public file-archives and on 
encountered filesizes. An index for measuring 
locality of reference to a resource is also proposed. 
The results show that most file transfers relate to 
only a small fraction of the files in an archive and that a considerable part
of the operations to public files are updates of files. Further results
are presented and interpreted in the paper.

92-1   Third-Party Authentication in the Institutional File System
Jim Rees
Bill Doster
February 2, 1992
The use of intermediate translators in the Institutional File System
presents the problem of authenticating the translator to the file
server where the client's private key is not known to the translator.
We have implemented a modification to the Kerberos authentication
exchange that allows our translators to securely acquire the rights
necessary for them to access files and other services on behalf of
their clients.

92-3    Faster AFS
Micahel T. Stolarchuk
June 22, 1992
The AFS Cache Manager fetches files from the AFS file server, and caches
them into a local file system. Given this model, users expect reads of locally
cached files to perform at local file system rates. However, read
performance of the AFS cached files is half the read performance of the
local file system. This paper discusses the reasons for the large
performance difference, and the modifications made to AFS so that reads
of locally cached files perform within 10% of the performance of the
local file system.

92-4 Intermediate File Servers in a Distributed File System Environment
James Howe
June 30, 1992
A component of the Institutional File System (IFS), the intermediate
file server addresses scaling and interoperability issues on the
University of Michigan cam pus.  The IFS is based on AFS, a distributed
file system from Transarc.  Interme diate servers provide protocol
translation that enables non-AFS clients to easil y access the
distributed file system.  For example, Macintosh users can manipula te
UNIX files that reside on the server by moving folders and icons, just
as the y would manipulate local Macintosh files.  Intermediate servers
also offer other benefits, such as multi-level caching and data
preloading, that increase the ca pacity of the network by reducing the
load on central server.

From Oracle you need to creat a file delimmited in the following manner:
Text should be enclosed in double quotes "  " and seperated by a comma.
Numeric data should be seperated by a comma.  .

Example:
"abc", "def", "ghi",123,456,789

I have tried to reply directly but the address seems "unknown" so I 
will use the list. This was my reply:



Shauna,
In the more current version 1.1b of wingz printing postscript to a 
file is an option in the print menu. However, as we (like you) are
running an earlier version, we have had to 'hack' our own solution.

In your printer.info file on the second line you specify the LpCommand.
Usually this is lpr or lp. In our case we have modified this to read:
  LpCommand   "wingzlpr"
where wingzlpr is a script (which is included below). In addition we
have added a "pseudo"printer in this file. The entry reads:

  Postscript B&W Printer Name "Print to File"

     Total Fonts   35
   ... (here comes the font info which I have deleted)

As a result, "Print to File" will pop up as a valid printername.
Now the wingzlpr script will reckognize this name and use xprompt to
prompt the user for a file name to put the postscript on. You may chose
another (like the new xtpanel, the filenominator utility shipped with
the aXe editor or similar).

If you have any further questions - please call on me again. We run SUN
4.1 and hp-ux 8.01 so if you want executables that is what I can provide.

I had the same problem.  I know of no way to prevent key strokes
from echoing in a dialog box.  What I did, was to open a new
spreadsheet (no gridlines, or scroll bar) and prevent the user
from closing it (Protect Window).  I sized this spreadsheet to
dialog box size, added some "OK"/"Cancel" buttons, and included
some cell borders to highlight where the password should be typed.
You CAN format cell text, so I selected a font size of 1 and made
the text color white (just in case).  No text appeared in the bordered cell
when the password was typed.  When user clicks OK, just compare the
contents of the cell to whatever the password is supposed to be.

I suggest creating and password protecting (so the user can't modify
or open) the "dialog spreadsheet" in advance, then opening it with 
macro code.  If the sheet doesn't exist, or if an error is generated when
you attempt to open it with a password, then it has been tampered with
and the macro should abort.

Good luck.

What is the correct way to use an array reference in a cell which is the
result of a function macro call?  The macro calculates three related values
which I thought could (should?) be returned as an array, which I could then
use in further calculations (via INDEX(), maybe).  However, I can't get
INDEX() or any other function to fish the values from the array reference.
Please explain the correct method or point me to a (helpful) section in the
manual or the "Mastering Excel 4" book.  Thanks.

Diane,

The filename to use is auto123.wk3, but I'm not sure of where it needs
to be located.  In 123 for DOS, it has to be in the directory where you
start the program from.

Hi Folks:
I have seen some graphics for analysis of stocks using Excel and I think it
can very well be used to do a number of technical analysis.  Excel I believe
comes with some functions such as Moving Average, Histogram, etc.

I am wondering are there sources to get more function to do technical analysis.
I am looking at functions to generate Wilder's index, Oscillators, Mometum
indicators, Stochastics, Envelopes, On-Balance-Volume, etc. 

I know I can use the formulas and do it myselt but I want to save that time.

If anybody knows or wants to share those they have written please respond.

Thanks in advance.

David,

  You can save these settings by going into 

     /   menu
     W   worksheet
     G   global
     D   default
     P   printer


   Make your changes and then do an Update which will write the changes
to disk.  The file name is displayed near the bottom of the screen.
On my system the file name is C:\123R23\123.CNF

  Alternatively, WYSIWYG style, from the WYSISYG menu go into

     P   print
     L   layout
     D   default
     
   Update or Restore, whichever is appropriate.  The printer and port
info is in the INTERFACE section.
