Abstract: A method and system in which calls made on two or more phone lines
of a customer are aggregated for billing and discount billing plans to which
the customer subscribes are applied to the aggregated phone usage of the
customer. In order to price a call made over a network by a customer of the
network, information specifying a billing plan of the customer and
information specifying a plurality of telephone lines to which the billing
plan applies are stored. A call made from one of the plurality of telephone
lines is received at a network switch and record that describes the call is
generated. The record is received at a billing analysis system and a priced
call value for the call is determined based on the record and the information
specifying the customer billing plan. The record that describes the call
comprises an identifier of the telephone line from which the call was made
and priced call value for the call is determined by accessing the information
specifying the customer billing plan using the identifier in the received
record.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting a functional
condition of an NOx occlusion catalyst (S3) using an NOx sensor
(2). In order to compensate for variations in oxygen
concentration of the exhaust gas which would otherwise affect
the detected NOx concentration downstream of the NOx occlusion
catalyst (S3), a relative value is calculated as the difference
between the detected NOx concentration and the value of the
detected NOx concentration initially after start of operation
control of an internal combustion engine (S1) at a lean air-fuel
ratio. The occlusion capability of the NOx occlusion
catalyst (S3) is judged to have deteriorated when an increase
in the relative value exceeds a predetermined value. On the
other hand, the NOx occlusion catalyst (S3) is judged to have
suffered an anomaly when the rate of increase in the relative
value becomes greater than a predetermined allowable value.

Abstract: A hash function and a service key are stored in
advance in an EEPROM of a DVD player serving as a source.
In an EEPROM of a personal computer (PC) serving as a sink,
on the other hand, its ID and a license key are stored
beforehand. The DVD player requests the PC to transmit the
ID. The DVD player then applies the hash function to data
resulting from concatenation of the ID with the service key
to generate a license key (= hash (ID ¦¦ service key)).
Subsequently, the DVD player generates a source side
session key and encrypts the session key by using the
generated license key. Then, the DVD player transmits the
encrypted source side session key to the PC. The PC
decrypts the encrypted source side session key by using the
license key stored in its EEPROM to produce a sink side
session key which has a value equal to that of the source
side session key.

Abstract: An method and apparatus for high voltage control of
isolation region transistors (320) in an integrated circuit,
Isolation region transistors (320) are formed between active
devices by selective implantation of channel stop implants
(140). Isolation region transistors (320) are those areas
with a conductor (130) over an isolation region (120) with no
channel stop implant (140). This provides an isolation region
transistor (320) with a lower threshold voltage than the areas
with channel stop implant (140). The voltage threshold of the
isolation region transistors 320 are adjustable to a range of
voltages by varying the length of channel stop implant (140).
The apparatus may be fabricated using conventional fabrication
processes.

Abstract: An auxiliary memory device connected between a computer game
machine and a software carrier having a built-in writable memory. The
auxiliary memory device includes a large-capacity writable memory, a user
input means for inputting a section number to select a corresponding section of
the auxiliary memory. A logical control circuit of the auxiliary memory device
substitutes a selected section of the auxiliary memory for a writable memory of
the software carrier as the storage location for state of play data at the end of an
unfinished game. Different users can use the software carrier of the same
computer game machine by selecting different storage sections in the auxiliary
memory to record their state of play data. The result is equivalent to each user
having his own software carrier, thereby overcoming the contradiction that
arises when several users share the same software carrier.

Abstract: An electrostatic latent image development method and
apparatus, includes a process nip (59) formed by operative
engagement of first (10) and second (40) movable members
for positioning a thin layer (58) of liquid developing
material (54) in pressure contact with an electrostatic
latent image which generates imagewise electric fields
across the layer (58) of liquid developing material in the
process nip (59). The process nip (59) is defined by a nip
entrance and a nip exit, wherein the process nip and the
nip entrance are operative to apply compressive stress
forces on the layer (58) of liquid developing material
thereat, and the nip exit is operative to apply tensile
stress forces to the layer of liquid developing material,
causing imagewise separation of the layer of liquid
developing material corresponding to the electrostatic
latent image. The layer (58) of liquid developing material
is defined by a yield stress threshold in a range
sufficient to allow the layer of liquid developing material
to behave substantially as a solid at the nip entrance and
in the nip (59), while allowing the layer of liquid
developing material to behave substantially as a liquid at
the nip exit.

Abstract: A method is described for the digital control of a phase-locked loop
consisting in the separate estimation of both phase and frequency errors of the
data source as compared with those of the local oscillator and in the separate
and adaptive filtering of the two signals. The value of the VCO control voltage is
calculated on the basis of the two filtered signals. The phase and frequency
error estimation and the frequency and phase error filtering are carried out in
such a way as to eliminate the time-varying random components (jitter and
noise) without delaying the feedback signals, since the portion of the signals
that varies with time because of the variation of the commands, is subtracted
before estimations and filterings.

Abstract: A process of assigning frequencies uses propagation loss
in a CDMA communication system. A base station measures
propagation loss over a channel between the base station and a
mobile station. If the measured propagation loss is greater
than a certain fixed value, the base station determines that
since the mobile station is present in a position distant from the
base station, the mobile station may possibly interfere with a
base station of another CDMA communication system. The
base station assigns a frequency channel which is not adjacent
to the frequency band assigned to the other CDMA
communication system to the mobile station.

Abstract: The press (1) has runner rails on which transverse beams with suction pads (2) are arranged to pick up and transport the metal parts directly or via carriages. A horizontal movement of the beams results via a mechanical curve (3) drive with pushing levers (4), coupled to the press drive. Vertical movement of the beams is caused by an electric drive (5). The mechanical horizontal movement of the beams is at the same time superimposed with a variably controlled vertical movement and a pivotal movement about the longitudinal axis of the beam, caused by an electronically programmable electric drive. The electronically controlled vertical and/or pivotal movement of the beam is dependent on the geometry of the workpiece in the press. Independent claims also cover a conversion apparatus for the press.

The operating system software provides intelligence and efficiency in
swapping out process images to facilitate swapping in another process. The
splitting and coalescing of data segments are used to fit segments into current
free memory (50) even though a single contiguous space of sufficient size does
not exist. Mapping these splits through data control register sets (80) retains
the user's contiguous view of the address space. The existence of dual images
(14, 70) and partial swapping allows efficient, high speed swapping.
Candidates for swap (150, 160, 170) out are chosen in an intelligent fashion,
