Abstract: A system and method searches for a longest prefix match for an address having a
number of binary bits among a plurality of entries having different lengths of bits. The
entries are associated with a trie having a first number of trie nodes for L-bit trie match,
wherein L is a predetermined integer greater than 1, and at least a first trie unit including at
least one trie node for K 1 -bit trie match and at least one trie node for K2- bit trie match,
wherein K 1  and K 2  are two different positive integers. Each of the entries corresponds to one
trie node, and at least one trie node for L-bit trie match points to the first trie unit. Each trie
node corresponds to a first, second, third, or fourth type of trie node. The method of.
searching first splits the address into at least a first key and a second key, each key including
a predetermined number of address bits. Then, it determines a first matching node among the
first number of trie nodes based on the address bits in the first key. Responsive to the first
matching node corresponding to the first or second trie node type, the method selects the
entry corresponding to the first matching node as the longest prefix match for the address.
Also, responsive to the first matching node corresponding to the third or fourth trie node type,
the method determines at least one second matching node in the first trie unit based upon the
address bits in the second key.

Abstract: A digital data processing system contains a non-volatile memory and is
personalised by writing personalising data into the memory. Initially, a
predetermined write authorisation bits pattern is written into at least an area of the
blank memory. When a write request is received, the contents of that memory area
are accessed and read. The memory contents thus read are then compared with the
predetermined write authorisation bits pattern. If, and only if, they match, a write
operation in the memory area is permitted, and personalising data can be written
in the memory area. Otherwise the write request is rejected.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical recording medium
and optical recording medium record/playback apparatus and
method, for managing defective areas in a rewritable optical
recording medium. Particularly, the present invention adds a
linear replacement control (LRC) bit to a secondary defective
list (SDL) entry to discriminate a defective block
information that is listed at the SDL entry according to a
linear replacement algorithm from a defective block
information that is listed at the SDL entry according to a
skipping algorithm, thereby allowing the optical recording
medium record/playback apparatus to transmit correct
information to a host. Furthermore, when a defective block
requiring a new replacement block is found while recording or
playing back data when spare are is full, instead of carrying
out the linear replacement, the LRC bit is set in the SDL
entry along with the location information of the defective
block to indicate that the corresponding SDL entry was made
when the spare area was full, whereby data is not written in
the defective block or data of the defective block is not
read when rewriting or reproducing the data afterward.
Consequently, the present invention can effect efficient
management over the disc.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of evaluating the
performance of an ion-exchange film. In the method, small-angle
scattering curves for the ion-exchange film at
different humidities are obtained by an X-ray measuring
apparatus that can detect X-rays scattered at small angles
with respect to the axis of an X-ray applied to the ion-exchange
film. From the positions of the peaks on the small-angle
scattering curves and the X-ray intensities at these
peaks, the change in the characteristic of the film, which
accompanies change in the molecular structure (hence, ion-exchanging
ability) of the ion-exchange film due to the
change in humidity, is evaluated. The humidity ambient to
the ion-exchange film can be adjusted by a humidity-adjusting
device that comprises a vapor source, gas source, gas mixer
and gas-introducing pipe.

Abstract: Zum Einbetten von Wasserzeicheninformationen in ein Informationssignal, das Audio- und/oder Videoinformationen umfaßt, werden zunächst eine Synchronisationssequenz mit einer Mehrzahl von Synchronisationssequenz-Einheiten und eine Datensequenz mit einer Mehrzahl von Datensequenz-Einheiten bereitgestellt (10, 12, 14), wobei zwischen der Datensequenz und der Synchronisationssequenz eine zeitliche Verschiebung vorhanden ist, und wobei ein Grad der Verschiebung von den Wasserzeicheninformationen abhängt. Eine Kombinationseinrichtung (18) erzeugt eine Kombinationssequenz mit einer Mehrzahl von Kombinationssequenz-Einheiten aus der Synchronisationssequenz und der bezüglich der Synchronisationssequenz verschobenen Datensequenz, wobei die Kom-binationssequenz-Einheiten von Synchronisationssequenz-Einheiten und verschobenen Datensequenz-Einheiten abgeleitet sind. Die Kombinationssequenz wird mit dem Informationssignal zusammengeführt (20), um die Wasserzeicheninformationen in das Informationssignal einzubetten. Ein Wasserzeichen-Extraktor erhält für jede Datensequenz-Korrelationsspitze eine derselben zugeordnete Synchronisationssequenz-Korrelationsspitze und kann somit sicher und robust die Wasserzeicheninformationen auf der Basis des zeitlichen Abstandes zwischen der Synchronisationssequenz-Korrelationsspitze und der Datensequenz-Korrelationsspitze ermitteln. Das Konzept ist robust, liefert eine hohe Datenrate und ist zugleich flexibel hinsichtlich der Gewichtung von Synchronisationsenergie und Datenenergie bzw. hinsichtlich Robustheit einerseits und Datenrate andererseits.

Abstract: Apparatus (S) for detecting light (BS, FS) scattered by a small particle (e.g., a blood cell) irradiated by a light beam (B) comprises one or more photodetectors (PD1-PD6, D’) and a plurality of optical fibers (33-38) that serve to optically couple the scattered light and the photodetectors (PD1-PD6). To enhance the efficiency of such coupling, a portion of each of the optical fibers (33-38) in the vicinity of its light-collecting end is supported so that its optical axis extends towards the light-scattering source. By this arrangement, scattered light (FS) enters each fiber from a direction substantially parallel to the fiber axis. Preferably, the light-collecting ends of the optical fibers fibers (33-38) are supported on a concave surface and so that the respective optical axes of the fibers converge at a point (C) representing the apparent position of the light-­scattering source, taking into account the refractive effects of an optical flow cell through which scattering is detected. Preferably, both forward ­and back scattered light (FS, BS) are detected by the apparatus of the invention.
