Patent EP-0810808-A2 (EP)
Inventor: UMEHIRA MASAHIRO
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1997-05-28
Abstract: ATM provides quality classes that correspond to the amount of cell transfer delay allowed. In this invention, cells are classified according to quality class and stored in buffers. The cells are read starting from the buffer for the quality class with the highest priority, and successively proceeding to buffers for quality classes of lower priority. Alternatively, if there is room in the output interval of cells of a higher priority quality class, cells of a lower quality class are inserted among these cells. According to this invention, cell transfer that satisfies the quality requirement for cell transfer delay can be achieved using less hardware.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and apparatus for
reparameterizing a parametric function representing an
animation feature in an animation system where the parametric
function is represented by a curve having unequal arc-length
per unit parameter. The system samples at intervals of the
parameter along the length of the curve and then calculates
the arc-length over each interval. Thereafter, one or more
differentiable curves are fitted to the parameter, arc-length

Abstract: A planar-type transistor is formed by selectively
diffusing a base layer on a surface of a silicon
substrate that will act as a collector layer, and then
selectively diffusing an emitter layer on the base layer.
In addition, the collector layer on the front surface of
the planar-type transistor chip is provided with a
current detecting electrode, while the back surface of
the silicon substrate is provided with a collector
electrode. As the transistor is turned on and current
flows through the collector, voltage is induced between
the collector electrode and the current detecting
electrode according to the collector current because of
the resistance of the silicon substrate. Therefore, the
transistor can quickly and precisely detect the collector
current and transmits the detected current as a current
detecting signal from the current detecting electrode to
a control IC. A power transistor which surely prevents
destruction by a surge and allows for reduction of the
transistor chip in size can be offered in this manner.

Abstract: The unit (ONU1), together with other units, provides a broadband communication over glass fibre transmission lines with a central Optical Line Termination (OLT). The time division multiplex network (NET) operates with mixtures of reference pulses from a central laser diode (LAS) and data packets transmitted in time slots between the reference pulses. Each ONU has a processor (UNIT1) checking for the presence of data packets within the mixtures of signals, and generating its own data stream in an asynchronous code division multiple access (CDMA) mode for the OLT. The processor modulates the received reference pulses with the data stream, in an electro-optical unit (S1), for a CDMA encoder (C1).

Abstract: The present invention relates to eliminating a call delay caused by a sleep mode in a paging system, which operates at a service centre and in which a pager can be set to a sleep mode, in which a power saving mode and a receiving mode alternate. The delay caused by the sleep mode is avoided by selecting a first pager set, to which at least one pager (8) to be selected later on belongs, on the basis of a received call according to a predefined criterion before analysing the contents of the call, and a signal for interrupting the sleep mode is sent to said first pager set. The selection criterion for the first pager set may be e.g. information on the number of subscriber A (1) stored in the system or a reference stored in the system and based on information on the caller's location to at least one pager, the sleep mode of which will be interrupted on the basis of a call from said location.

Abstract: An optimum equalizer setting is determined for a signal equalizer in a network receiver by
successively setting the equalizer to different predetermined settings, detecting timing correlation
results between the equalized signal and a recovered clock in a digital phase locked loop, and
determining a normalized distribution result for each of the predetermined equalizer settings based on
the timing correlation results. The equalizer setting having the minimum normalized distribution result
can then be selected as the optimum equalizer setting. Use of the correlation result from the phase
locked loop enables the equalizer controller determining the optimum equalizer setting to determine
the setting using a closed-loop setting. Hence, the equalizer controller can effectively determine the
equalizer setting that causes the minimum amount of jitter in the phase locked loop.

Abstract: The invention relates to a buffer management method for sharing the storage capacity F of a buffer between its users, such as queues, communication links or equivalent, which store packets in the buffer, in which method the total number of packets stored in the buffer is calculated and, based on this, the buffer capacity to be granted to the users is controlled. According to the invention, a modified total number of packets T* stored in the buffer is determined from equation (1), where N=total number of users; a(i)=minimum buffer capacity (a(i>0)) allocated for user i; and c(i)=actual buffer capacity occupied by user i at the reference instant. Further, the storage of additional packets by user i is inhibited if the total T*>F and c(i)>a(i).

Abstract: A computationally simple yet powerful forward error correction code scheme for transmission of real-time media signals, such as digitized voice, video or audio, in a packet switched network such as the Internet. An encoder at the sending end derives p redundancy blocks from each group of a k payload blocks and concatenates the redundancy blocks, respectively, with payload blocks in the next group of k payload blocks. At the receiving end, a decoder may recover up to p missing packets in a group of k packets, provided with the p redundancy blocks carried by the next group of k packets. The invention thereby enables correction from the loss of multiple packets in a row, without significantly increasing the data rate or otherwise delaying transmission.
