The transistor is fabricated from semi-conductors with band gaps narrow enough to allow this to occur, for instance InSb and InAISb, CdTe and Cd x Hg 1-x Te.
Patent GB-2325379-A (GB)
Title: Digital cordless telephones communicate directly if unable to receive control signal from base unit
Inventor: FUKUDA KUNIO
IPC: H04M1/72505
Filed: 1995-12-08
Abstract: In a digital cordless telephone system having a base unit and a plurality of portable units where communication between a calling portable unit and a called portable unit may be provided via the base unit using time divided (TDD/TDMA) channels, the calling portable unit determines whether or not it is possible to receive a control signal from the base unit and if it is not possible to receive the control signal, (for example if the unit is out-of-range), the calling unit transmits a direct access request signal to the called portable unit. The called portable unit receives the request signal and thereby directly communicates with the first portable unit. In addition, if a portable unit cannot receive a control signal from the base unit, the portable unit may enter a reception standby state in which the portable unit checks for a control signal and for a direct access request signal (see figure 9). Thus the invention allows direct communication between portable units which are out-of-range of the base unit and aims to provide a system where the units need only check for direct access request signals when communication via the base unit is not possible. Also described is a method in which direct communication is performed when the calling portable unit receives a control signal with a busy signal that indicates that the base unit has no timeslots available for communication. The calling unit then transmits a direct access request signal to the called unit. On receiving a control signal including the busy signal, a portable unit may enter a reception standby state where it checks for the control signal and for a direct access request signal.
Patent GB-2344262-A (GB)
Title: Retrieval of network management information
Inventor: GYMER DAVID
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1998-10-02
Abstract: The invention is concerned with accessing and retrieving information from tables such as a management information base (MIB) using network management protocols, particularly the Simple Network Management (SNMP) protocol. To overcome problems associated with using object identifiers (OIDs) in conventional network management protocols, a modified protocol is disclosed in which some object identifiers are abbreviated or replaced by indices. The protocol data unit (PDU) used to retrieve information comprises an identifier signifying that it is a table block access request, an object identifier of a table to be accessed, an index to a row within the table and information identifying the number of rows to be accessed. This can lead to significant improvements in efficiency compared to multiple "Get Next" operations or "Get Bulk" operations (see figures 1-3), with only a small modification to the protocol.

IPC: G05B11/36
Filed: 1999-11-25
Abstract: A buffer circuit arrangement which maintains the state of the buffer's output to a peripheral circuit in the event of a controller circuit, to which the buffer's input is connected, being reset. Such a reset event may be caused by an over voltage. The buffers output is maintained until the controller circuit is active. In a given embodiment the buffer circuit 101, 105-107 is connected between a microcontroller žC 100 and a peripheral circuit 102. The buffer circuit contains, an RC element which acts as a low pass filter removing fluctuation from the output signal from P, a feedback resistor 105, which has a relatively high resistance and a buffer (op amp)101. When the output port P of the žC 100 is active high or active low the signal is translated to the output of the buffer circuit. When the žC 100 is reset the feedback arrangement maintains the state of the output TA of the buffer circuit. Furthermore this stored state can be read back into the I/O port P of žC 100. In a further embodiment the buffer circuit contains an OR gate (fig 3) which receives an ON signal.
