Abstract: A device (16) in a system (10) modulates an optical signal (13) and tunes the duty cycle of the optical signal (13) for optimizing system performance as a response of the duty cycle. The device (16) includes a tunable duty-cycle Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) acting as a pulse-width shaper (160) for modulating the optical signal (13) and tuning the duty cycle of the optical signal (13). The MZI (160) has a transmittance transfer function of the interferometer (160). At least one electrode structure (163) generates a DC voltage and an AC voltage for biasing and controlling the swing of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer (160) with the respective amplitudes of the DC and AC voltages such that the maximum power transmittance point on the transfer function is less than 100% for tuning the duty cycle of the optical signal (13) such that system performance is optimized.

Abstract: In a computer network system, the caches (20) at
individual stations (12) are available to other stations. A
central cache directory is maintained at a network server.
Each time a station caches a data object received from a
remote network (14), it informs the central cache directory. When
a station comes online, it is asked to send a list of the
contents of its cache. Whenever a station seeks an object
from the remote network (14), the local network server first
checks the central directory cache to see if the request can
be satisfied at one of the local stations. Only if it cannot
is the requested object retrieved from the remote network (14).

Abstract: This invention relates to a service which manages
data using an information processing server on a network
and allows another user to browse the managed data in
accordance with an instruction from a data owner. Also,
this invention particularly relates to a case wherein a
terminal that the other user uses to browse the managed data
is a compact information processing apparatus such as a
mobile phone or the like. Upon providing the managed data
and appended data associated with the managed data to a
terminal of the other user, the information processing
server changes the appended data and a method of providing
the appended data in correspondence with the performance
of the terminal of the other user. For example, upon
displaying image data on a mobile phone of the other user,
if message information associated with that image data has
a large information size and cannot be fully displayed on
the mobile phone of the other user, the information
processing server changes the message information to
shorter information, and provides the changed information
to the mobile phone of the other user. The server causes 
the mobile phone of the other user to display a link to full
message information, and allows it to receive the message
information by accessing that link.

Abstract: The invention describes a cheap and uniform circuit generating signals representative
of all electric power parameters by digitally processing input analogue measuring
signals. The circuit of the invention offers a novel way of digitally processing the
input signals. It renders the use of simple first order Σ-Δ modulators possible. 
     According to the invention computation of the root-mean-square value of the input
signal is performed in a way that the input signal is multiplied by its normalized value.
The product obtained by said multiplication is accurate in the entire dynamic range.
Thus a satisfactory accuracy in the dynamic range 1:1000 is reached by first order
input Σ-Δ modulators.
