Patent EP-1393184-A2 (EP)
Title: Device and method for determining a physical address from a virtual address, using a hierarchical mapping rule comprising compressed nodes
Inventor: GAMMEL BERNDT
IPC: G06F12/1009
Filed: 2002-05-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a physical address from a virtual address, whereby a mapping rule is implemented between the virtual address and the physical address in the form of a hierarchical tree structure comprising compressed nodes. According to said method, a compression indicator contained in the mapping rule is first read (1300). Then, a section of the virtual address, which is assigned to the node level under consideration, is read (1310). An entry in the node list of the node currently under consideration is determined (1320) using the compression indicator and the virtual address section. The entry that has been determined is read (1330) and the physical address can then be directly determined, if the node level under consideration was the lowest node level in the hierarchy. If there are additional node levels to be processed, the previous steps are repeated for the determination (1340) of the physical address for compressed nodes of lower hierarchy levels, until the lowest node level in the hierarchy has been reached. For addressing schemes, in which the virtual address space is greater than the physical address space, storage space can be saved by the compression of the node lists, which in their uncompressed form contain a number of zero entries, thus providing space for other data.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de courrier sans fil comprenant un nombre réduit de câbles d'interface entre des dispositifs, ce qui n'empêche pas une fonctionnalité totale. Ce système permet l'ajout facile de dispositifs, et il permet à chaque dispositif de bénéficier d'un accès à distance sans utiliser une ligne téléphonique spécialisée pour chaque dispositif, ou sans transporter chaque dispositif vers une ligne téléphonique. L'invention concerne un système de courrier comprenant une multitude de dispositifs, chacun de ces dispositifs étant conçu pour communiquer avec les autres dispositifs par l'intermédiaire d'une liaison de communication sans fil de manière à former un réseau local. Un serveur passerelle peut servir de maître au réseau local afin d'assurer la coordination des communications entre les dispositifs formant le réseau local. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, les dispositifs formant le réseau local peuvent communiquer directement les uns avec les autres. En outre, le serveur passerelle permet l'accès à distance au réseau local via un réseau téléphonique classique ou via tout autre réseau de transmission de données tel que, par exemple, Internet.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus of managing a communication system, wherein a
decision regarding a level of activity at a first end is made based at least in part on the
level of activity at the second end (710). In one embodiment, the energy level of a first-end
audio signal is measured (700). The first end is declared voice-active if the first-end energy
level is greater than or equal to a first threshold value. The first end is declared voice-inactive
if the first-end energy level is less than the first threshold value. To
determine the value of the first threshold value, the energy level of a second-end
audio signal is measured. If the second-end energy level is greater than or equal to a
second threshold value, the second end is declared voice-active, in which case the first
threshold is maintained at a relatively high level. If the second-end energy level is
less than the second threshold value, the second end is declared voice-inactive, in
which case the first threshold is maintained at a relatively lower level.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for obtaining an accurate detected value of a
similarity between images or the like. Original standard and input pattern
matrices, each having a feature quantity of an image as an element, are
created (Sb1 and Sb3). A weighting vector having a value of a change rate
of a kurtosis of a reference pattern vector composed of a reference shape as
an element is created, and an original and weighted standard pattern
matrix is calculated by a product-sum operation of an element value of the
weighting vector and an element value of the original standard pattern
matrix (Sb2). Then, an original and weighted input pattern matrix is
calculated by a product-sum operation of the element value of the same
weighting vector and an element value of the original input pattern matrix
(Sb4), and a geometric distance value between the original standard pattern
matrix and the original input pattern matrix is calculated as a cosine of an
angle between the original and weighted standard pattern matrix and the
original and weighted input pattern matrix (Sb5).

headers. When the emergency stop button is pressed,
emergency stop signals are output to a plurality of
emergency stop control circuits from the respective packet
receiving circuits immediately afterward, and a plurality
of contacts connected in series are placed in a non-conductive
state, so that the supply of motive force to
servo amplifiers is cut off, thus causing the robot to make
