Inventor: AMARANT BRENDA B
IPC: H04M17/02

Abstract: A more flexible and improved method of controlling and monitoring charges and balances assignable to a credit card account is obtained by assigning a purchase limit to the card. 
     More specifically, when a card is used to pay for a call on a telecommunication network, the validity of the card is verified in, for example, a network database and the card record is examined for the presence of a purchase limit. If the card has a purchase limit, the network database determines the type of purchase limit which applies and if the balance is positive. If the balance is not positive and the purchase limit applicable does not authorize the extension of credit, a denial response is sent from the network database to an appropriate local operator system which provides a denial indication to the caller. If the available balance is positive, the network database forwards the balance to the operator system. 
     Based upon the balance returned in the reply from the database, the operator system sends a request to a rating processor to determine the length of time the caller may talk. If the rating database cannot ascertain the amount of time a caller can speak, for whatever reason, the call is denied. Thus, the balance is used to determine how long the caller can speak. 
     At various predetermined intervals during the call and immediately after the call has been completed, the actual charges are calculated and forwarded to the network database. If during a call, the maximum duration is exhausted, the operator system will terminate the call, calculate the actual charges, and forward the charges to the network database. The network database decrements the balance with each intermediate update from the operator system. At the termination of a call, the network database adjusts the card holders balance a final time to maintain the purchase balance accuracy.

Abstract: A high-speed adder using a varied carry scheme, such as one of the carry-lookahead (CLA) type (30), includes a plurality of adder groups (32-37) each receiving some bits of two input operands. The adder groups are not identical but instead each adder group reduces a delay which is critical to its order. A least significant adder group (32) reduces a delay from operand input to carry output. A most-significant group (37) reduces a delay from carry input to sum output. Intermediate groups (33-36) reduce a delay from carry input to carry output.

Abstract: A diffusing plate (S) from a material which has inside itself places which are distributed more or less uniformly and diffuse light and is therefore opal-like and semitransparent to light, for a light box having a display unit which is illuminated from the rear by means of one or more light sources, to achieve a background-like illumination of a surface displaying information. The diffusing plate (S) has a non-uniform thickness in that manner that it has, close (Z) to the light source a large thickness (for example 2 mm) and thus a large light-blocking effect, but has, away therefrom, a decreasing thickness (down to 1 mm). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Apparatus for developing synchronization of an intermediate layer of signal such as the transport or multiplex layer of a multi-layered compressed video signal, includes at the encoding end of the system apparatus (13,23,25) for including a time stamp reference, such as a count value from a modulo K counter (23), and provision for a differential time stamp which may be updated by the transit times of respective (e.g., multiplexing) circuits as the signal transits such circuits. At the receiving end of the system a counter (27) is responsive to a controlled receiver clock signal and the count value of this counter is sampled at the arrival of the time stamps embedded in the transport layer. The time stamps and the differential time stamps are retrieved from the signal and combined to form a corrected time stamp. The differences of successive sampled count values of the receiver counter are compared with the differences of corresponding successive corrected time stamps to provide a signal to control the receiver clock signal.

Abstract: A video image processing system comprises an input cache store (3) for temporarily storing input video data, compressors (13, 15) for compressing image data from the input store and an output store (17) comprising multiple storage areas (19) of known fixed size for storing respective files of compressed data from the compressors (13, 15). The compressors are arranged to compress each image of the input video data to a given initial degree to produce respective data files. A processor (16) compares the number of bytes in each data file with the known size of one storage area (19) in the output store (17) to determine whether the data file will occupy a predetermined proportion of said storage area. In the event that the data file will not occupy said predetermined portion of said storage area, the processor causes one of the compressors to effect one or more repeat compressions to a different degree in order to produce a data file of a size which will occupy said predetermined proportion of said storage. The system thereby optimises the compression of data and the utilisation of storage in the storing of the compressed data.

Abstract: A distance measuring device includes a light emitting element (100) which emits light toward an object (900) to be distance measured. A distance to the object (900) is computed based on photo-currents outputted from a semiconductor position sensitive light detector (200) upon which the light reflected from the object (900) is incident. Background light components coming from a background of the object is detected and canceled from the output obtained from the position sensitive light detector (200), and position information is outputted which is represented by temperature-dependent variables. Therefore, computation of the distance to the object is not affected by temperature.

Abstract: In a top scale balance which has a Roberval's chain 10 and a load weight transmitting lever 30 and in which a movable post 13 of the Roberval's chain 10 is connected to a point of force 32 of the lever 30 through an elastic connection fulcrum 51, a horizontal member 12 nearer to the elastic connection fulcrum 51, out of upper and lower horizontal members 11, 12 of the Roberval's chain 10, is greater in rigidity than the other horizontal member 11. 
     Alternately, the upper and lower horizontal members 11, 12 are equal in rigidity and the elastic connection fulcrum 51 is positioned, in the vertical direction, at the center between the upper and lower horizontal members 11, 12. Such an arrangement prevents or reduces the movement of the elastic connection fulcrum 51 in the back-and-forth direction due to an offset placed load. 
     Thus, even though the top scale balance is made in a compact and thin design with the lever ratio of the lever 10 increased, the top scale balance is high in precision with a less offset position error.
