Title: Routing of data packets in a hybrid satellite communication system
Inventor: TRACHTMAN EYAL
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 2002-09-23
Abstract: A hybrid satellite communications system comprises a broadcast satellite service (BG, BES, BS) providing a high bandwidth forward link (FLB) integrated with a mobile satellite communications network (HLES, SBES, MS) providing both forward and return links (FLM, RL), both of which are connected to a packet network (PN). Forward traffic is routed selectively via the broadcast service or mobile network according to whether a recipient user terminal (UT) is able to receive the broadcast service or sufficient capacity is available over the broadcast service. The hybrid system may receive an indication, via the return link (RL), of the broadcast spot beam (BB1-3) location of the user terminal (UT).

Title: Cascading software updates to network devices
Inventor: DONG HAI
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2003-11-21
Abstract: A network 100 comprises a computer 102 and network devices 104-130. When an updated software version becomes available for the network devices, the computer selects a number of first network devices 104,106 for download based upon the bandwidth between itself and those devices and creates a download schedule informing the devices where they must download the software from. The network devices 104,106 then download the software and check it for errors (eg via a checksum or CRC check). Upon successful download, the computer updates the download schedule and selects a number of second network devices 108,110,112,114 which are to download the software from the first network devices 104,106. This process repeats until the software is cascaded to all of the network devices. The download schedule may be transmitted using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and may comprise of table of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and associated download addresses for each of the network devices. The network device may be a Base Transceiver Station (BTS), an Enhanced Base Transceiver System, a Node B or a Base Station Controller (BSC). The number of first and second network devices chosen for download may be dynamically changed in order to optimize bandwidth usage during the download.

Title: Scheduling of consumer and producer instructions in a processor with parallel execution units.
Inventor: FERNANDES MARCIO MERINO
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 2001-10-12
Abstract: A method of scheduling consumer instructions (c1 and c2) requiring a value produced by a producer instruction (p1) to execution units in a processor having a plurality of execution units comprises scheduling a consumer instruction in a loop kernel block before scheduling a producer instruction using a compiler. In operation the consumer instruction is allocated to a first execution unit before the producer instruction is allocated to a second execution unit. The scheduling of the producer instruction also requires the creation of a move instruction (mv) to create an availability chain such that a value is moved from a first point accessible by the basic block to a second point accessible by the loop block. The point may be a register file accessible by one of the execution units. Preferably an interface block is used to create an interface between the basic and loop kernel block. Within the interface block a dummy instruction may be created by the scheduling of the consumer instruction to guide the scheduling of the producer instruction.

Title: Display device
Inventor: YOSHIOKA KAZUO
IPC: G09G3/34
Filed: 2005-03-31
Abstract: An illuminance sensor detects an illuminance value for an environment in which a display device used in connection to a computer device is placed and provides the illuminance value to a controller. The controller determines whether to cause the display device to make a transition to a power saving mode or not in accordance with the illuminance value inputted thereto. For the transition to the power saving mode, the controller stops the operation of a backlight drive signal generator to turn off a backlight unit, and stops the supply of power and a display signal to a liquid crystal panel. A transition to a power saving mode may occur independently of an input signal from the computer device.
