Title: Configuration of intelligent network service
Inventor: WALLENIUS JUKKA
IPC: H04Q3/545
Filed: 1999-03-17
Granted: 2007-01-23
Abstract: A method of configuring an intelligent network service over a user interface of a mobile station. The mobile station (MS) comprises an extension layer (MEXE) to support routines to be installed. The mobile station is loaded (4-2) with a configuration routine of the intelligent network service in question. The extension layer (MEXE) re-ceives an input (4-3a) through the configu-ration routine in order to configure the in-telligent network service. On the basis of the input, the mobile station (MS) transmits configuration information to a mobile ser-vices switching centre (MSC) in a config-uration message (4-3d). The mobile ser-vices switching centre (MSC) recognizes the configuration message (4-3d) and transmits at least the essential part thereof to a ser-vice control point (SCP). The service control point (SCP) interprets the configuration in-formation included in the configuration mes-sage (4-3d) and configures the intelligent network service.

Abstract: A method of reconfiguring a multi-wavelength communication network (Fig. 6).  The transition includes determining the union of the old and new topologies.  During at least the start of the transition, the network supports the union topology. New connections are connected according to the new topology, and the old topology, as its connections expire, is gradually removed. In allocating wavelengths to a new topology, two algorithms are developed which assign wavelengths which do not color clash with the wavelength assignments of the old topology.

Granted: 2006-11-07
Abstract: An apparatus includes a power supply for supplying power to an ignition coil to generate a spark across a spark plug. A capture circuit captures an energy signal reflected from the ignition coil in response to the spark generation. A  comparator circuit compares the captured energy signal to a predetermined signal. The ignition coil includes a first winding in electrical communication with the power supply and a second winding in electrical communication with the spark plug and, thus, the energy signal is reflected from the first winding of the ignition coil in response to the spark generation. The predetermined signal represents one of a distinct group of reflected energy signals which indicate various defects in the ignition coil or spark plug. Preferably, the comparator circuit generates an output in response to a match between the captured energy signal and the predetermined signal to indicate a defective ignition coil or spark plug. A method includes the steps of: supplying power to an ignition coil to generate a spark across a spark plug; capturing an energy signal reflected from the ignition coil in response to the spark generation; and comparing the captured energy signal to a predetermined signal. Preferably, the method further includes the step of generating an output in response to a match between the captured energy signal and the predetermined signal to indicate a defective ignition coil or spark plug.

Title: Multi-channel predictive subband coder using psychoacoustic adaptive bit allocation
Inventor: SMYTH STEPHEN M
IPC: H03M7/30
Filed: 1996-11-21
Granted: 2001-09-11
Abstract: A subband audio coder (12) employs perfect/non-perfect reconstruction filters (34), predictive/non-predictive subband encoding (72), transient analysis (106), and psycho-acoustic/minimum mean-square-error (mmse) bit allocation (30) over time, frequency and the multiple audio channels to encode/decode a data stream to generate high fidelity reconstructed audio. The audio coder windows (64) the multi-channel audio signal such that the frame size, i.e., number of bytes, is constrained to lie in a desired range, and formats the encoded data so that the individual subframes can be played back as they are received thereby reducing latency. Furthermore, the audio coder processes the baseband portion (0-24kHz) of the audio bandwidth for sampling frequencies of 48kHz and higher with the same encoding/decoding algorithm so that audio coder architecture is future compatible.

Title: Method and apparatus for selective block processing
Inventor: KUROWSKI KORDIAN
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 1999-02-17
Granted: 2005-04-26
Abstract: Methods, devices and systems for embedding and detecting a watermark in a da ta stream, such as a video stream. A texture criterion is evaluated for each block of the data stream. The texture criterion measur es a variation of selected characteristics associated with each element of the data stream, such as luminance and chrominance. Only those blocks that are determined to have at least a predetermined degree of variation in the selected characteristic are selected for embeddin g of a watermark. By providing the watermark detector with a block selector that evaluates the same texture criterion as was employed i n the watermark embedder, the detector attempts detection of the watermark only in those blocks having been determined to have the predetermined degree of variation of the selected characteristic, or greater. By attempting detection only in such blocks, the number of detectio n computations is decreased and the watermark signal to data stream noise ratio is increased, thereby facilitating detection of even weak watermarks.

Abstract: A method of, and apparatus for, dithering an image to be printed. Color component values of odd and even pixels of an image are stored in a dither cell. The dither cell is mapped to a staggered dither cell such that lines of odd pixel component values are staggered relative to lines of even pixel component values. Addressing of the staggered dither cell is determined by an address generator that also addresses a buffer storing an up-interpolated image. Corresponding values in the staggered dither cell and the buffer are compared to determine which nozzles of a printhead are fired.
