Abstract: A method for monitoring the transmission quality of an optical transmission system, such as, for example, an optical wavelength division-multiplex network. An amplitude histogram of an optical signal (transmission signal) transmitted over the transmission system may be plotted and classified, with the assistance of a neural network, according to bit error rates and/or causes of faults. The need for setting requirements for transmission mode, transmission format and/or transmission timing cycle of the transmission system may be eliminated. The amplitude histogram may be implemented for any signal, and causes of faults, which are not able to be determined by a conventional bit rate classification, may be allocated.

Abstract: An optical regenerator suitable for use with optical signals has two stages. An incoming optical signal to be regenerated passes first through a data division stage. This divides the optical data stream into a number of data streams at a bit rate lower than the original optical signal. These data streams then pass to a regeneration stage. In the regeneration stage, there are a number of optical gates. Each gate receives one of the optical data streams at its control input. An optical clock stream at the lower or at a multiple thereof passes through the optical gates. The output of these optical gates are connected in common to the optical output of the regenerator and provide a bit-interleaved regenerated optical data stream at the output.  <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for recording pushed interactive data streams of a program. A pushed data stream is broadcast to a receiving station. The data stream includes one or more data objects. The data stream may also reference to live data objects which are intended for immediate consumption and become obsolete thereafter. The data stream may include a file table and object properties corresponding to the data objects. When the data stream is received by the receiving station, the individual data objects are extracted from the data stream. The data objects, accompanying object properties and the file table are then stored on a storage device. Data objects which are external to the data stream or to the program (e.g., data objects from other carousels) are retrieved and are also stored. Live data objects are not stored, but references to these data objects are stored, so that when the program is replayed, current versions of the referenced live data objects can be used. A program not being recorded may contain data objects which are flagged to be cached which are recorded automatically. Consequently, other programs may subsequently access them from the recording when they are played.

Abstract: In a circuit configuration to operate a gas discharge lamp (LA) the lamp (LA) is arranged in a full bridge circuit. A control circuit in normal operation actuates the four switches (S1-S4) in such a way that it changes over with a first frequency (f1) alternately between a first and a second state (T1, T2), whereby in the first state (T1) the two switches (S2, S3) of a first bridge diagonal are opened, one switch (S1) of the second bridge diagonal is closed and the other switch (S4) with a second frequency (f2), which is higher than the first frequency (f1), is alternately opened and closed. In the second state (T2) the four switches (S1-S4) are actuated in such a way that the lamp (LA) is pole reversed. In a start phase (TS) on the contrary the switch connected to the DC voltage source (S4) of a half-bridge is opened, the second switch (S3) of this half-bridge is closed, and the two switches (S1, S2) of the other half-bridge are with a third frequency (f3) alternately opened and closed. As a result reliable lamp starting is rendered possible and at the same time the generation of high-frequent alternating fields in normal operation is reduced.
