Abstract: A process is disclosed for refining silver bullion, i.e. raw silver containing generally more than 90% silver besides Se, Pb, Au, Cu and platinum group metals (PGM) as main impurities. The process comprises:optionally removing Se as gaseous SeO2 from the molten metallic phase by injecting air, which is preferably O2 enriched, into the metallic phase at a preferred bath temperature of 1000-1100° C.;optionally slagging off the Pb by contacting the molten metallic phase with a silica and borax based flux at a preferred bath temperature of 1000-1150° C.;granulating the molten metallic phase in water, thereby forming Ag rich granules;leaching the Ag rich granules with HNO3 at a temperature above 50° C., preferably in an O2 enriched atmosphere, followed by filtration, thereby separating an Au bearing residue from an Ag rich liquor;heating the Ag rich liquor, thereby evaporating H2O and forming an AgNO3 bearing melt;maintaining the AgNO3 bearing melt at a temperature of 220-350° C. for at least 15 minutes, thereby forming a mixture of a purified AgNO3 and of a denitration residue containing essentially all the PGM as oxides;separating the purified AgNO3 from the denitration residue.By this process, the many drawbacks of the classical electrolytic refining of silver are avoided.

Abstract: A method and network subsystem for providing on demand end to end Quality of Service (QoS) in a dynamic manner, use a combination of Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), load control protocol (and its successors) and Bandwidth Brokers (BBs) which communicate using a predetermined protocol. The predetermined protocol may be one of Common Open Policy Service Protocol (COPS) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for direct communication by the BBs. The network subsystem might also include differentiated services architecture (Diffserv) which might comprise a Diffserv domain including Border Routers (BRs) and Core Routers (CRs). The BBs may obtain resource availability information by communicating only with the BRs to the exclusion of CRs. The BBs may optionally have the capability of using an RSVP aggregation protocol and may have the ability to store and manage RSVP aggregation status. The method and network subsystem may additionally use Integrated Service Architecture (Intserv) which will enable achieving interoperability between Intserv and Diffserv through the use of an edge router on a bandwidth broker aggregator.

Abstract: An improvement to a graphics controller to prevent the contents of selected portions of the frame buffer from being read by devices external to the graphics controller. The invention defines one or more viewable rectangles in the frame buffer as a protected write-only area. Any attempt to read data from the protected area of the frame buffer triggers a security violation which can delete or destroy the contents of that area to prevent it from being read. The controller can also operate in a bypass mode in which the security functions are bypassed so the graphics controller operates in a conventional manner. A security violation may return the controller to the bypass mode. The invention can prevent protected data, such as copyrighted data downloaded over the Internet, from being copied from the frame buffer and used in an unauthorized manner.

Abstract: A camera system includes a camera module that can be rapidly aligned with a predetermined field of view. In one embodiment, the camera module includes a faceplate that is matable to a mounting bracket so as to place the camera module in a fixed position relative to the mounting bracket. A mounting rail is securable to the face plate, such as perpendicularly. A base plate, to which the camera can be affixed, is engagable to the mounting plate such that that the camera is movable about yaw and pitch axes with respect to the mounting plate. The base plate position can be adjusted by a plurality of screws that impinge upon the mounting plate until the camera optical axis is aligned with the longitudinal axis of the module. Once the camera is aligned it is fixed in position in relation to the mounting plate, and therefore, the faceplate and the mounting bracket as well. This arrangement allows a camera to be rapidly aligned with the predetermined field of view by mounting the camera module on the mounting bracket.

Abstract: The cells of a memory cell array are programmed and read in a pair wise manner. The pairs are separated by at least one memory cell, reducing the possibility of interference between the pairs during programming and reading. The memory cells are programmed individually by applying a relatively high voltage to one of the bit lines of each cell regardless whether the cells are to be programmed or not, while applying a lower voltage to the second bit lines, depending on whether the cells are to be programmed or not. This programming voltage assignment enhances the speed of programming. Furthermore, the pair wise programming scheme applies the necessary high voltages only half as often as in previous schemes to program all the cells of the array, increasing the lifetime of the memory system.
