Abstract: A fast bandwidth reservation method and system, used in packet-switched networks, are disclosed which reserve bandwidth for a data transfer over links in a path between a source node, at least one intermediate node, and a destination node with minimal latency where the source node desires to send data to the destination node along the specific path using at least a minimum bandwidth and up to a maximum bandwidth. The goal of the method and system is to reserve bandwidth for a data transfer in the minimal amount of time. No link on the path between the source node and destination node has more band-width allocated for the source node than the minimum allocated for the previous forward links on the path. Links on the path between the source node and destination node have their bandwidth allocation for the data transfer adjusted based on the final minimum bandwidth allocated for the data transfer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wide area network (31) implemented  on a circuit-switched public data network (10).  Terminals (34, 36, 38, 40) have access to a plurality of  data channels (B - channels) and a control channel (D -  channel) into the network using a balanced protocol. The  invention provides a method for reducing connect time  between the terminals over the data channels. To do this a  conversation is established between a transaction program  on the local terminal and a transaction program on the  remote terminal. Responsive to generation of a frame for  transmission by the transaction program on the local terminal  to the transaction program on the remote terminal, a  channel connection between the local terminal and a remote  terminal including a data channel connecting each terminal  into the wide area network is established if no channel  connection already exists. Responsive to expiration of a  predetermined period after last transmission or receipt of  a frame and existence of the channel connection for a  minimum connect period, the channel connection is  disestablished without interrupting the conversation between  the transaction programs. The predetermined period  and the minimum connect period are optimized to minimize  costs under a tariff structure for the circuit-switched  public data network.

Abstract: An echo canceller modem having a fast training echo canceller is described. The echo cancellation coefficients are computed by taking correlations between a complex, periodic training signal sequence and a real component of the corresponding echo signal. The modem includes a receiver circuit which detects a signal on a channel possibly including an echo. An echo canceller estimates the real component of the echo signal. Training circuitry applies the complex training sequence to the channel and takes correlations between the training sequence and the real component of the corresponding echo signal. In the preferred arrangement, the modem also includes a computational element for computing the period of the periodic sequence, generating the complex periodic training sequence in real time and for computing a phase roll frequency based upon the computed echo cancellation coefficients.

Abstract: The present invention involves a method of deriving the height and width of a graphic image from raw image data stored in a computer system. It includes commencing execution of a height-width derivation program in the computer system and, at least once, operating the height-width derivation program to perform a series of steps. These include calculating the area of the image size, e.g. using the total number of bytes, and calculating the square root of the area to obtain a first value, and then determining by assumption a first assumed width and a first assumed height. For example, these assumptions may be achieved by calculating one half of the first value to obtain a first assumed width value and dividing the area by the first assumed width value to obtain a first assumed height value. Next, the first assumed height value and first assumed width value are rounded to the nearest whole number, further adjusting said values by predetermined increments and the resulting adjusted values are multiplied until their product produces the closest value equal to the area of the image size to obtain a second assumed height value and a second assumed width value. The method also involves a series of iterations to determine error indexes for various altered assumed values and finding the values with the lowest error index.

Abstract: An implementation of coherent diversity combining in a RAKE receiver that uses energy in signal echoes by integrating information from main-path and bit-period-delayed signal propagation paths to remove echo distortion, or time dispersion, is described. If delayed by one chip in a CDMA system, such echoes appear as uncorrelated interference. The RAKE receiver correlates a despreading code with the current (main-path) signal samples and with the signal samples delayed by 1, 2, 4, ... bit periods, and combines the correlation results to determine the information content of the signal. After appropriate conditioning, the received signal is digitized and the signal samples are stored. Groups of samples are Fast Walsh Transformed, and the real and imaginary transforms are scaled according to a table of coefficients; the scaled results are stored. Weighted, scaled transforms of groups shifted by 1, 2, 4, ... samples are accumulated, and the index of the largest-magnitude accumulation is used to select real and imaginary transform values. The selected values are transferred to a RAKE coefficient computer and quantizer that determines from the sequence of values presented the mean value and trend of the real and imaginary components. A Kalman filter may use these values to estimate the values that will occur during the next group analysis period.

Abstract: In the exhaust gas purification device of the present invention, a NO x  absorbent is disposed in the exhaust gas passage of a diesel engine. At the time when NO x  should be released from the NO x  absorbent, a control circuit of the engine reduces the excess air ratio of the engine, and switches the combustion mode of the engine from the normal diesel combustion, in which diffusive combustion is dominant in the combustion chamber of the engine, to the combustion mode in which pre-mixture fuel combustion is dominant. By doing this, it is possible, even in a diesel engine, to reduce the excess air ratio in combustion to thereby make the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas lower than or equal to the stoichiometric. Thus, the regeneration of the NO x  absorbent can be performed even when it is applied to a diesel engine.
