Patent EP-1094394-A3 (EP)
Inventor: OPRESCU FLORIN
IPC: G06F13/40
Filed: 1993-12-16
Abstract: A bus arbitration scheme is implemented in a system where an arbitrary assembly of nodes on a system bus have been resolved into an acyclic directed graph. The hierarchical arrangement of nodes has one node designated a root while all other nodes have established parent/child relationships with the nodes to which they are linked. Each node may have a plurality of connected child ports with a predetermined acknowledgement priority scheme established. Fair bus access arbitration provides for bus granting in a sequence corresponding to the predetermined port priorities allowing all nodes a turn on the bus. The root node may always asserts its priority access status to gain bus access which is useful for accommodating a root node which requires isochronous data transfer. Alternatively, a token passing arbitration scheme may be implemented where the token for bus access is passed around the nodes according to the above-described predetermined port priority scheme. Preemptive bus initilialization may be triggered by any node upon detection of a necessitating error or addition or removal of a connection to an existing node.

Abstract: A disc having grooves (10) and pits (15,16) with different depths,
and a easy method for manufacturing the same are provided.
The disc satisfies the conditions: λ/ 8n  ≤
 d 3    ≤ λ / 5n  where d 3 
is a difference in depths between the grooves (10) and the
pits (5,16), λ is the wavelength of a light source, and  n  is the
refractive index of the disc. The disc manufacturing
method involves depositing photoresist over a glass
master. A master is manufactured by forming a first land
region and a second land region having different depths by
laser cutting with laser beams having different power
levels, and by developing the glass master from the
cutting of laser. Following this, a father stamper having
a groove region and a pit region is stamped from the
master, the groove region and the pit region of the father
stamper being inverse to those of the master, and then a
mother stamper is stamped from the father stamper, the
shape of the mother stamper being inverse to the shape of
the father stamper. The mother stamper is used to
manufacture a disc by injection molding. Reproduction-only
pits for DVD-RW can be simply formed without need for
etching processes.

Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-reactive silicon compound having at least one
polyalkyleneglycol substituent with the number average molecular weight being 200
to 10,000 as synthesized by reacting an organohalosilane compound having H-Si
bonds with a polyalkyleneglycol ether compound having unsaturated substituents in
the presence of a silylation catalyst. The multi-reactive silicon compound having
polyalkyleneglycol substituents is very soluble in organic solvents and reactive to
living polymeric ions with high thermal stability due to multiple functional groups,
and active living groups. Thus the addition of the multi-reactive silicon compound
to a living polymer solution during an anionic or cationic polymerization reaction
activates an intense substitution reaction under mild conditions to introduce a third
functional group to the end or side chain of the polymer comprising a repeating
monomer unit and provide organic-inorganic hybrid polymers.

Abstract: An access contention scheme having both multi-level priorities and a contention-free
access indicator 130 for use by a station 12 in a network of stations 10. A station 12 having a
frame to transmit determines from a detected contention control indicator 130 if it is
permitted to contend for access to a transmission medium 14 during a contention period 290.
The station 12 determines if the contention control indicator 130 indicates a contention-free
access and, if the contention control indicator 130 indicates a contention-free access, the
station 12 determines if a channel access priority level associated with the frame to be
transmitted is higher than a channel access priority level 144 associated with a last
transmitted frame. If so, the station 12 detects whether any station in the network of stations
10 intends to contend for access to the medium 14 at a channel access priority level that is
higher than the channel access priority level associated with the frame to be transmitted. If
so, the station 12 defers contention for access.

Abstract: An implementation of a technology is described herein for deriving robust
non-local characteristics and quantizing such characteristics for blind
watermarking of a digital good. This technology finds the proper balance between
minimizing the probability of false alarms (i.e., detecting a non-existent
watermark) and the probability of misses (i.e., failing to detect an existing
watermark). The technology, described herein, performs quantization index
modulation (QIM) based upon non-local characteristics of the digital good. Non-local
characteristics may include statistics (e.g., averages, median) of a group of
individual parts (e.g., pixels) of a digital good. This abstract itself is not intended

The antenna element comprises a radiating plane and additionally e.g. supportive elements, a feed conductor and short-circuit conductor as well as extensions to increase capacitance. The antenna element is fabricated by first extruding from a billet an antenna billet, and working the latter as required. The antenna billet may be symmetrical so that two antenna elements will be produced when it is cut in half. Advantageously the antenna element is fabricated so as to conform with the covering of the device in which it is placed. It may also be part of a covering of a device. The manufacturing costs of the antenna element are relatively low and the radio characteristics of the element are good. An antenna structure employing the element has got few separate parts and is mechanically firm and space-conserving. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
