Abstract: A navigation system, preferably for use in a vehicle, includes a processor, and a graphical display for displaying map information. As the vehicle approaches a given location, e.g., an intersection, a visual image of the location is retrieved and displayed on the graphical display. In one embodiment, the visual image is a photograph of the location that is displayed in a pop-up window on the display screen. If desired, additional graphic images or text are superimposed on or associated with the image to facilitate navigation. Thus, for example, if the user approaches an intersection, the device displays a still photograph of the intersection, together with an arrow overlaid thereupon to illustrate that the user should make a given turn. <IMAGE>

Abstract: By designing a regulator unit according to the invention as a combined thermostatically controlled and pressure controlled unit there is achieved the advantage of both regulation forms, which will, however, continue to operate independently of each other. This is achieved by means of a common valve seat having each its valve seat (9, 22) cooperating with two independent valve bodies (7, 23) on each its spindle part (6, 30). The result is an optimisation of the common - but independent - regulation capacity such that when the regulator is in operation it will function as a regular thermostatic control and the opening/closing function of the regulator as a regular pressure control. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and means for changing gloves in a glove workstation provided in the wall of a closed chamber. The glove to be exchanged is fixed to a casing encompassing a groove located in the wall of the chamber. In order to change the glove, a sealing disk (1) is provided, the cross-sectional surface of which is slightly smaller than that of the casing. The sleeve of the glove to be exchanged is located in the chamber. Said method has been improved in such a way that the sealing disk (1) has an inflatable tube (2) in its edge area and in that the sleeve of the glove to be used is pulled over the sealing disk (1) with the purpose of preparing replacement of the glove. In order to change the glove, the sealing disk (1) and the glove to be used are seized and pulled into the casing with the aid of the glove that is to be exchanged. The sealing disk (1) is then aligned at a right angle in relation to the wall of the casing and the tube (2) is inflated. The glove to be exchanged is finally released from the casing and the free end of the sleeve of the new glove is fixed to the casing.

Abstract: A method of accessing a system utilizing multiple data rates. The method includes determining a desired transmission data rate and setting a current data transmission rate to the desired transmission data rate if the desired rate is less than a maximum transmission rate. The current data transmission rate is set to the maximum transmission rate with a probability equal to a transmission probability if the desired transmission rate exceeds or is equal to the maximum transmission rate. Also described is a multiple access communication system including a base station which uses an indication of system loading to determine a transmission probability and a maximum transmission rate for the system and broadcasts the transmission probability and the maximum transmission rate to a plurality of remote units. A remote unit transmits data to the base station at the maximum transmission rate with the transmission probability. A multiple access communication system may include a receiver for receiving a maximum transmission rate and a transmission probability produced by a base unit, a process for determining a desired transmission data rate, a process for setting a current data transmission rate equal to the desired transmission data rate if the desired rate is less than a maximum transmission rate, and a process for setting the current data transmission rate to the maximum transmission rate with a probability equal to the transmission probability if the desired transmission rate exceeds or is equal to the maximum transmission rate.

Abstract: Techniques for detecting zero rate frames in a received data transmission. A modulated signal is received and demodulated in accordance with a particular demodulation format to generate demodulated symbols. The demodulated symbols are partitioned into a number of received frames. For each received frame, a quality metric is computed and compared against a threshold value. The threshold value is selected based, in part, on the quality metrics of received frames. Based on the comparison result, the received frame is indicated as being either transmitted and received in error (i.e., erased or bad) or not transmitted at all (i.e., zero rate or empty). The quality metric can relate to an energy of a received frame, a distance between a received frame and a codeword corresponding to the received frame, or other metrics. The threshold value can be selected based on the quality metrics computed for decoded frames or received frames identified as good, and can be dynamically adjusted based on current information available at the receiver. The method is advantageously used in a CDMA communications system.

Abstract: An architecture and a method for cryptography acceleration is disclosed that allows significant performance improvements without the use of external memory. Specifically, the chip architecture enables "cell-based" processing of random-length IP packets. The IP packets, which may be of variable and unknown size, are split into fixed size "cells." The fixed-size cells are then processed and reassembled into packets. The cell-based packet processing architeture of the present invention allows the implementation of a processing pipeline that has known processing throughput and timing characteristics, thus making it possible to fetch and process the cells in a predictable time frame. The architecture is scalable and is also independent of the type of cryptography performed. The cells may be fetched ahead of time (pre-fetched) and the pipeline may be staged in such a manner that attached (local) memory is not required to store packet or control parameters.

Abstract: A device, system, and method provides for lung size reduction by permanently collapsing at least a portion of a lung. The lung portion may be collapsed by obstructing the air passageway which communicates the lung portion to be collapsed. The air passageway may be obstructed by an obstructing member which precludes airflow in either direction or with a one-way valve which permits air to be exhaled from the lung portion while precluding air from being inhaled into the lung portion. In addition, a vacuum may be pulled within the lung portion to be collapsed for collapsing the lung portion and while the lung portion is collapsed the obstructing member may be placed in the air passageway to maintain the lung portion in a permanently collapsed state.

Abstract: A multilayer film is used as a buffer layer to minimize the size of defects on a reticle substrate prior to deposition of a reflective coating on the substrate. The multilayer buffer layer deposited intermediate the reticle substrate and the reflective coating produces a smoothing of small particles and other defects on the reticle substrate. The reduction in defect size is controlled by surface relaxation during the buffer layer growth process and by the degree of intermixing and volume contraction of the materials at the multilayer interfaces. The buffer layers are deposited at near-normal incidence via a low particulate ion beam sputtering process. The growth surface of the buffer layer may also be heated by a secondary ion source to increase the degree of intermixing and improve the mitigation of defects.
