Title: Cost sensitive control of data transfer involving a mobile entity
Inventor: I ANSON COLIN STEPHEN
IPC: H04W4/00
Filed: 2000-01-26
Abstract: A service system 40 receives a transfer descriptor for a desired data transfer to/from a mobile entity 20 over a cellular radio infrastructure, the transfer descriptor specifying the end points of data transfer and transfer criteria, including a cost criterion. The service system 20 is responsible for determining whether the data transfer can be performed within the transfer criteria and if so, how and also for initiating the transfer. The cost criteria may be a maximum cost, a lowest cost for transfer consistent with other criteria, a delay-dependent cost function or a set of cost functions and the other criteria may include a maximum delay or minimum bit rate. The transfer descriptor may indicate that the data transfer is to be repeated according to a predetermined schedule. Tariff data for the cellular infrastructure may be pre-loaded into the service system off-line, fetched over the data network or provided in response to a specific enquiry. When determining whether transfer within the criteria is possible, the service system 40 further negotiate with the infrastructure servers or carry out an auction between different infrastructures. The service system 40 may or may not take part in the data transfer.

Title: Data network access
Inventor: BELL ANDREW CHARLES
IPC: H04M3/436
Filed: 1999-06-01
Abstract: There is described a method of providing a connection service between a user's terminal (1) connected to a telephone network (2) and the public Internet (6) through a point-of-presence (3). In this method, the user's computer dials a connection service access telephone number and a connection is created between the user's terminal (1) and the point-of-presence (3). The point-of-presence (3) then checks that the dialled connection service access telephone number is one of one or more valid connection service access telephone numbers. If the dialled connection service access number is valid then the point-of-presence (3) transmits an allocated Internet network address to the users terminal (1). The point-of-presence (3) then provides a connection between the user's terminal (1) and the public Internet (6) for messages containing the allocated network address.

Title: Testing interrupts having a service priority order by applying different interrupt priority levels
Inventor: ATHANASSIADIS HARRY
IPC: G06F11/267
Filed: 2001-11-12
Abstract: A test of interrupts in a microprocessor system having a number of interrupt sources which are associated with a memory and assigned a default priority level and a position in a service order. In operation requests for service from the interrupt sources will be processed by calling the interrupt service routine of the interrupt request having the highest priority level or in the event that interrupt requests are at the same priority level are received the interrupt requests will be serviced from first in the service order to last in the service order. The testing mechanism comprises applying an array of priority levels (priority window) to some of the interrupt request lines and enabling all other interrupt requests at their default priority level simultaneously. A value from a global counter is then applied to the memory associated with the interrupt source which is to be serviced. This global counter is then incremented by one and the array of priority values is shifted along the service order from last in the service order to first for successive tests until the test is complete (figure 2b). The values stored in the memories associated with each interrupt source are then compared to a pre-arranged sequence of expected values to determine if an error has occurred in the microprocessor interrupts.

Title: Selecting a network printer that is a minimum distance from the network user
Inventor: WIECHERS ALEJANDRO
IPC: G06F3/12
Filed: 2001-12-07
Abstract: Selecting a network printer based on given network user parameters so that the selected printer is at a minimum distance from the network user. A network addressable device (21, Fig. 1) includes a global printer array (30, Fig. 1) and an assessor (25, Fig. 1). Through a communications network (20, Fig. 1), the assessor receives from a network user a print command along with network user parameters, such as suitable paper size and type, finisher capabilities, and spooling speed. The assessor selects a localized printer (35, Fig. 1) from the global printer array to meet the user parameters and to optimize time and printing costs, using program code accompanying the network addressable device (21, Fig. 1). In particular, the program code executes a print sequence (Fig. 2) as well as a printer search routine (shown). Accordingly, the print command is forwarded to the localized printer that executes a resulting print job at a minimum distance from the network user.

Abstract: A switching power supply comprises a first switching circuit S1 including a first switching element Q1, a second switching circuit S2 including a second switching element Q2, a capacitor C connected in series to the second switching circuit S2 and electrically connected the first switching circuit S1, an input power supply E connected in series to the first switching circuit S1 and a transformer T, a rectifier D connected to a secondary winding T2 of the transformer, and a first switching control circuit 11 arranged to turn the first and second switching elements Q1, Q2 on and off with an intermediate period in which both elements are turned off, such that energy is stored in a primary winding T1 of the transformer during an on period of the first switching element and the energy is discharged from the secondary winding T2 during an off period of the first switching element Q1, wherein the switching control circuit includes an off period extending circuit 15PC2, Tr3 which extends an off period of the first switching element Q1 for a time after the energy has been discharged from the secondary winding, thereby lowering the switching frequency. The off period extending circuit includes a transistor Tr3 which remains on for a desired period even after the energy has been discharged from the secondary winding T2. In a light load operation a phototransistor 12PC3 in a second control circuit 12 is turned on so that the on period of the second switching element Q2 will be shorter than the time required to discharge the energy from the secondary winding T2.

IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 2002-05-09
Abstract: In a Direct Stream Digital (DSD) system, a twisted pair wired connection provides at least two parallel paths between the data handling nodes in a single cable. Data packets are input to one of the paths via a physical layer interface device 514 (eg. an Ethernet link), whilst associated clock data is transmitted along the other path via a balanced line interface device comprising a lowpass filter 552, differential line driver 554 and second Ethernet transformer 556, in order to provide a sample clock. Using the physical layer in this way makes the logic easy to design and implement.
