Abstract: In order, during the processing of a thread layer, which is tensioned in tensioning means and exhibits threads running parallel to one another, to be able to vary the sequence of the processing of the threads, a storage device is proposed for the temporary deposition of at least one of the threads which can be separated from a thread layer. The storage device is provided with at least one storage means, which exhibits at least one retaining means for the retention of one or more threads under tension, whereby the minimum of one retaining means is arranged outside the plane of the thread layer. In addition, the storage device exhibits at least one transfer means, with which the thread can be transferred to the storage means.

Abstract: A challenge-response user-authentication procedure masks an authentication center's expected response (XRES) utilizing a masking function (f) and by transmitting a random challenge and a masked expected response (XRES') instead of the XRES to an intermediate party where the actual user authentication takes place. The intermediate party sends the random challenge to the user and recieves a user response (RES) from the user. The intermediate party then generates a masked user response (RES') using the same masking function (f) and verifies that RES' corresponds to XRES'.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for performing fast channel switching in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The method generally includes the steps of: determining that the wireless medium has been idle during a PCF interframe space (PIFS) period, transmitting a first management frame during a slot time following the PIFS period; wherein the transmission at said slot time substantially guarantees priority access said wireless medium; and performing fast channel switching in the network in accordance with directives contained within the management frame. Fast channel switching as defined herein includes one of quieting the current channel and/or switching from a current channel of operation to a new channel of operation. The method overcomes the latencies associated with contention based services, such as the DCF service. The method may further include the additional step of transmitting one or more additional management frames, whose format is identical to said first management frame, each additional frame preferably separated by the PIFS interframe space to provide a higher degree of transmission reliability. The method is preferably performed at an access point (AP) in an infrastructure network or in an STA in an ad-hoc network.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a method that could be advantageously implemented in a satellite local area network (LAN) in which an average number of sites share a TDMA link. The invention provides for both a dedicated bandwidth to all the sites and a shared bandwidth that is dynamically assigned to the sites, therefore allowing for both synchronous traffic and for on request burst mode traffic. The method includes a reservation method of this shared bandwidth which is specially optimized for a satellite link. The method provides also for a network that automatically managed its communication bandwidth resources and the synchronization of the sites, without the need of an external controller. The present invention also provides for a satellite modem to transmit data from a site, to receive data from the sites and to manage the bandwidth resources of the TDMA satellite in accordance with the above method.
