Abstract: An optical control modulator comprises an input to receive light from a light source, a polarisation divider to divide the light into two orthogonal plane-polarised light components and a Faraday material which upon being energised rotates the plane of polarisation of the plane-polarised light as it passes through the material and an output. The light travels through the Faraday material in opposite directions on a common path. In one embodiment, the light passes once through the Faraday material on a loop path. In another embodiment, the light passes twice through the Faraday material by being reflected by a mirror disposed at a back face of the Faraday material.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are used to target interactive virtual objects to subscribers in a television delivery system. Programs are selected and virtual object locations are defined in the selected programs. The virtual objects (1265) available for targeting categorized and categories are correlated to subscriber information (1210) to determine the optimum targeting of the virtual objects (1260). The virtual objects may be targeted (1220) based on individual subscriber information (1210) or on information related to a group of subscribers. When a frame of program includes a virtual object location, a default or an alternate virtual objects is displayed. The virtual object location may change over space or time. The virtual object may be interactive, and may be used to link a subscriber to a remote location, such as an Internet web site. The television terminals record which virtual objects were displayed and report this information back to the headends and the operations center. The reported information is used to generate billing for commercial advertisers and to analyze viewer watching habits.

Abstract: High availability for a fibre channel switch in a storage area network can be implemented using redundant supervisors. An active supervisor can identify high availability characteristics associated with a message and determine whether the message should be mirrored onto a redundant supervisor, logged, and/or made persistent. Messages can be logged in a pending transaction buffer and stored using persistent storage services. Mirroring can be performed using synchronization queues that allow messages to be passed asynchronously to a redundant supervisor while maintaining full synchronization between supervisors and causing little delay to operation of the active supervisor.

IPC: H04L27/00

Abstract: A receiver decodes unknown information symbols interlaced with known
information symbols transmitted using a signal modulated either with Gaussian
Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK) or alternatively with Offset 16-Quadrature
Amplitude Modulation (O-16QAM) and compensates for inter-symbol interference
caused by a multipath propagation delay. The receiver comprises a state memory
(14) for storing a plurality of states, each state comprising a decoded value string
and associated path metric. Each decoded value string corresponds to different
hypotheses of information contained in signal samples already processed, and each
of the associated path metrics is indicative of a likelihood that the
corresponding hypothesis was a correct hypothesis. The receiver also comprises a
channel estimator (11) for estimating channel coefficients indicative of the phase
and amplitude of each path of the multipath propagation based on received signal
samples that correspond to the known information symbols. A detector detects
whether the known information symbols were transmitted using GMSK or O-16QAM
modulation, and produces an equaliser mode indication signal. A Viterbi
processor (20) controls the processing of each successive signal sample to update
each state of the state memory (14) by extending the decoded value string and
updating the associated path metric, each updated state being derived from one or
four previous states when the equaliser mode indication signal is indicative of O-16QAM,
and alternatively derived from one of two previous states when the
equaliser mode indication signal is indicative of GMSK.

Abstract: In a refrigeration cycle electric signals for a capacity control valve 5 of a
variable displacement compressor 1 and an electronic expansion valve 3 are
directly measured. The differential pressure across the refrigeration cycle and
the refrigerant flow rate are estimated based on these electric signals, to
estimate the energy condition of the refrigeration cycle. Considering an engine
rotational speed, the driving torque demand of the compressor is estimated, to
carry out energy control for e.g. a maximum refrigerating capacity operation,
maximum efficiency operation, required minimum refrigerating capacity
operation, to save fuel consumption and to carry out energy control for
reducing the burden on the engine e.g. during engine idling and acceleration.
