Patent EP-1014638-A1 (EP)
Inventor: DE COURVILLE MARK
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 1998-12-22
Abstract: An OFDM receiver (2) provides a means for synchronisation of a received signal
without the need for transmitting a pilot signal or a dedicated synchronisation
signal with the information signal block. This has the advantage of allowing
processing capacity otherwise taken up by the synchronising signals to be used
for data transmission. By over-sampling the received signal in an analogue to
digital converter (8) and minimising the energy in the resulting sub-carriers by
means of a feedback loop (13) connected between a fast FOURIER transform
demodulator (12) and a digital filter (9), synchronisation of the received signal
can be achieved.

Title: Addressing scheme for doubling the transmission capacity of a master-controlled slave-to-slave communication in any kind of bus system
Inventor: DSPECIALISTS DIGITALE AUDIO-UN
IPC: G06F13/42
Filed: 1998-03-20
Abstract: The invention relates to an addressing scheme for doubling the transmission capacity of a master-controlled slave-to-slave communication in any kind of bus system which makes it possible to transmit data from one slave to a second slave on a bus within a bus cycle controlled by a bus master. This is achieved simply by way of a special address assignment so that the invention can be used with any address-controlled bus system, such as PCI, ISA, EPP. The description distinguishes between indirect read access, inverse indirect read access and indirect write access as variants of the addressing scheme. These three variants differ in terms of the direction of transmission between the participating slaves a and b and the hardware required for implementation. Normal bus access remains possible without restrictions.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la modification d'un segment (230) et d'un décalage (240), utilisés pour la formation d'une adresse effective (220) du sous-programme d'interruption par défaut. Ledit procédé consiste en plusieurs étapes. D'abord, une adresse de piège (210), d'un sous-programme gestionnaire d'interruption par défaut est produite. Cette adresse de piège comprend un segment (230) et un décalage (240) normalement utilisés pour le calcul de l'adresse effective (220) par l'intermédiaire de circuits classiques. Néanmoins, un segment unique est produit au moyen d'une opération arithmétique sur le segment (230), après quoi une autre opération arithmétique est effectuée pour la production d'un segment unique. Ces valeurs de segment unique et de décalage peuvent encore être utilisées par les circuits classiques pour la production des mêmes adresses effectives, de sorte qu'un seul sous-programme gestionnaire d'interruption par défaut est requis. Alors que cette modification permet de produire un segment unique et un décalage qui peuvent être attribués à une interruption, le segment (230) et le décalage (240) sont modifiés de manière appropriée de sorte qu'un gestionnaire commun d'interruption par défaut soit utilisé.
