Abstract: The teaching of this invention pertains particularly to
satellite communications systems using GSO or NGSO satellites
(50a). This invention employs data derived from signals of
various types to derive a mathematical model of propagation
related attenuation-inducing events so as to plan system
resource allocation to minimize an amount of power required
to close communication links between user terminals and the
satellites. Disclosed are methods for modelling gateway (6)
to satellite links, as well as methods for modelling the user
terminal to satellite links. This invention overcomes the
problems inherent in the prior art by providing a direct
measurement of severe path attenuation potential. The use of
the teaching of this invention enables preplanning of the
allocation of satellites and satellite resources by
calculating a potential for signal path interference based on
an external measurement of where rain attenuation may be
located, and the real-time or approximately real-time
tracking of rain cell activity within storm cells.
Optimization of a global system of satellites is made
possible, particularly in the context of a system of LEO
satellites.

Abstract: A dispensing pump (10) for dispensing liquid, particularly suitable for
dispensing two-part epoxy for encapsulation of integrated circuits, includes a pumping
chamber in communication with a nozzle via a three way valve, the pumping chamber (14)
including an outlet (18), an internal volume, a pair of spaced directional seals located away
from the outlet, an open volume reciting between the seals and an external port
opening the open volume to atmosphere. A stepped plunger (44) extends axially within
the pumping chamber, with a first portion sized to be received and aligned through
the first directional seal (32), the plunger being movable to move the first portion toward
the outlet to close off the internal volume at the second seal. The second portion of
the plunger is relatively smaller in transverse cross-sectional dimension than the inside
diameter of the second seal (34), to cooperate with the port to promote fluid removal from
the internal volume during initial filling and priming of the pumping chamber. Once
filled and primed, the plunger causes positive volume displacement of liquid from the
pumping chamber and out of the nozzle, with very good repeatability and high fluid
flow rates, independent of material viscosity, and/or temperature or viscosity changes.
For refilling, the plunger is retracted from a volume which corresponds to the volume
of material refilled into the internal volume.

Abstract: A method for compressing a data stream, where a first portion of the data
stream is read into a window, which has a history buffer and look-ahead buffer.
An index is selected, taken from a fourth portion of the data stream in the look-ahead
buffer, and based on this index, an entry in a pointer array is selected. An
initial entry in a record array is selected based on the pointer array entry. The
record array initial entry has a history buffer address and record array address. A
third portion of the data stream is selected, starting at an address in the history
buffer referenced by the history buffer address of the initial entry. The third
portion of the data stream is compared to a second portion of the data stream in
the look-ahead buffer. If the third portion of the data stream does not match the
second portion of the data stream, then a subsequent entry in the record array is
selected, based on the record array address of the initial entry, and the
subsequent entry is then designated as the initial entry. The steps from selecting
the third portion through selecting a subsequent entry are repeated until either
the third portion of the data stream matches the second portion of the data
stream, or no more entries are left in the record array. In the case when there are
no more entries left in the record array, the second portion of the data stream is
written to the output file, and the first portion of the data stream read into the
window is incremented by a predetermined amount. In the case when the third
portion of the data stream matches the second portion of the data stream, the
history buffer address of the third portion of the data stream and a length value,
representing how many bytes of the third portion of the data stream and the
second portion of the data stream matched, are output to the output file, and the
first portion of the data stream read into the window is incremented by the
number of bytes matched. The steps of the method from the step of selecting an
index are repeated until all of the data stream has been read into the window.

Abstract: In a conventional photo signal amplification transmission system, since control
is performed to make constant an output power, total output powers of all wavelengths
are made constant when a multi-wavelength transmission is made. An output power
of one wavelength is decreased and deviated from an optimum power. To solve the
problem, a transmission photo amplifier 3, a relay photo amplifier 4 and a receiving
photo amplifier 5 are provided with wavelength number information management
sections 11, 12 and 13, respectively. An amplifying means is controlled in accordance
with the number of wavelengths of the multi-wavelength signal which is obtained by
the wavelength number information management sections. The wavelength number
information management sections 11 to 13 multiplex a wavelength number information
signal onto an optical fiber cable 6 and renew the signal.
