Abstract: A programmable sub-surface aggregating metallization structure (100) includes an ion conductor (110) such as a chalcogenide glass which includes metal ions and at least two electrodes (120, 130) disposed at opposing surfaces of the ion conductor (110). Preferably, the ion conductor (110) includes a chalcogenide material with Group IB or Group IIB metals. One of the two electrodes (120,130) is preferably configured as a cathode and the other as an anode. When a voltage is applied between the anode and cathode, a metal dendrite (140) grows from the cathode through the ion conductor (110) toward the anode. The growth rate of the dendrite (140) may be stopped by removing the voltage or the dendrite (140) may be retracted back toward the cathode by reversing the voltage polarity at the anode and cathode. When a voltage is applied for a sufficient length of time, a continuous metal dendrite (140) grows through the ion conductor (110) and connects the electrodes (120,130), thereby shorting the device. The continuous metal dendrite (140) then can be broken by applying another voltage. The break in the metal dendrite (140) can be reclosed by applying yet another voltage. Changes in the length of the dendrite (140) or the presence of a break in the dendrite (140) affects the resistance, capacitance, and impedance of the programmable sub-surface aggregating metallization structure. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: Detection of interfering light is performed based on an interfering light detection timing signal Si set immediately before a blockage detection timing signal Sr. If interfering light is detected consecutively with respect to the same optical axis according to interfering light detection timing, the length of blank period tb is reduced to shift the positions of pulses of the blockage detection timing signal, thereby avoiding overlap between these pulses and pulses of interfering light on the time axis. In this manner, mutual interference between multiple-axis photoelectric sensors can be prevented without providing sync line wiring between the photoelectric sensors. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for controlling the transmission of signals in a communications system uses a polling trigger which prevents a deadlock condition from occurring between a transmitter and receiver. The method includes selecting a protocol data unit from a buffer, determining whether the data unit is located at a predetermined position within a transmission window, and then transmitting polling information with the data unit if the data unit is determined to be at the predetermined position of the transmission window. The predetermined position is preferably a last position of the window. If the data unit is not in a last position of the transmission window, additional steps of the method include determining whether the data unit is a last-stored data unit in a transmission buffer. If so, polling information is transmitted with the data unit. If neither polling trigger is satisfied, the data unit is transmitted without polling information. The method may at least partially be performed within a radio link control layer of the transmitter operating in acknowledged mode. A user terminal or network apparatus may include a computer program for performing the steps of the method. By controlling the transmission of polling information based on the aforementioned triggers, a deadlock condition is advantageously prevented. As a result, the efficiency and the reliability of communications is substantially improved. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A point-to-multipoint radiocommunication network comprises master stations and subscriber slave stations, each master controls a pool of slaves generally fixed at different distances from the master, some user terminals can be connect at each slave by wire/cable/fibre optic. The master acquires and stores the main configuration and operational parameters of the slaves, in particular the distances from the master. Both the master and the slaves include transmission and reception AGC circuitry suitable to counteract fast-varying unforeseeable multipath fading (Rayleigh) and rain fading and a larger but calculable free-space attenuation due to the spread of the distances. Unforeseeable fading need fast-dynamic AGCs while calculable attenuation need semistatic AGCs. The master is continuously monitoring the access channels in uplink in order to detect the access requests from the slaves. As soon as the slave station is switched on to have access to the network, the master will start those operation usually named "registration" or "ranging" or "sign-on". Up to this point the slave station is able to decode the downstream signal and to set a rough value of the upstream transmission level, but the receiving and transmitting semistatic gain/attenuation levels are not correctly configured to make the dynamic range properly counteract all the possible fading phenomena. When the master station receives a signal transmitted by the slave station, it transmits a distance information to the remote slave station; the distance may be retrieved from an installation database or calculated during the registration phase or at the initial transmissions of the slave station, according to different possible embodiments. The slave station uses the distance information to automatically configure the "semistatic" gain/attenuation level in the best way. The same concepts apply to the point-to-point radio relay systems (fig.4). <IMAGE>
