Abstract: The present invention is a method and system for reducing and potentially eliminating the number of packets dropped during 802.11 handoff by an old access point (AP) to a new AP in a wireless local area network (WLAN) which thereby also reduces the impact of retransmission on network throughput. With the present invention, once a mobile station has successfully re-associated with a new AP, the new AP can fetch those packets which arrived at the old AP during handoff and forward them to the mobile station. The method and system of the present invention thus reduces both total packet drop and retransmission impact on network throughput by enabling direct recovery of packets received during handoff by the old AP from the old AP.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of transferring data from a drawing device, which while utilizing a position-coding pattern, printed on a physical page, digitally records handwritten information, to an application in a computer system. The drawing device transfers recorded data to a memory in the computer system. A registering unit in the system determines from which part of the position-coding pattern the recorded data originates and activates, on the basis thereof, one or more applications which are registered as "subscribers" to data from this part of the pattern. When an application is activated and thus informed of the existence of new data relevant to the application, the application fetches this data. The fetching of data can be made on the basis of the contents of a page-describing file, which defines the layout of the physical page.

Abstract: A method and a system for reducing a jerk produced by the range shift of a transmission with a power division arrangement. The transmission includes a variable speed drive in the form of a continuously variable transmission, and a pair of planetary gear sets and a pair of shift clutches to enable power to be divided between two branches within the transmission. During a range shift between two operating ranges the variable speed drive is acted upon by a short-term transmission ratio adjustment impulse in such a way that a cancellation jerk caused thereby the adjustment impulse weakens the jerk caused by the range shift.

Abstract: A neighboring light L S , which has been separated by a wavelength selecting element 12, is inputted to a second optical amplifying element 44 through an optical feedback path 18. After being amplified by the second optical amplifying element 44, the neighboring light L S  is coupled with an input signal light L IN  by an optical coupler 46. The neighboring light L S  is then, together with the input signal light L IN , inputted to a first optical amplifying element 14. All or a part of the neighboring light L S , which is included in an output light from the first optical amplifying element 14, is given an intensity that is inverted with respect to an intensity of an output signal light L OUT  of a first wavelength » 1  which is also included in the output light from the first optical amplifying element 14, and is amplified by the second optical amplifying element 44 before it is inputted to the first optical amplifying element 14. The above-described all or part of the neighboring light L S , having the intensity that is reduced with an increase in the intensity of the output signal light L OUT , is fed as a negative signal, back to the first optical amplifying element 14, whereby the gain, waveform and baseline of the input signal light L IN  are stabilized. Further, since there is provided a characteristic that the gain becomes smaller as the intensity of the input signal light L IN  of the first wavelength » 1  becomes larger, it is possible to obtain a suitably suppressed output signal light where an input signal light L IN  of an excessively high intensity is inputted to the device.
