Patent EP-0838970-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MITRA DEBASIS
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1997-10-14
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for a multi-port node (110) having a
shared buffer memory (240) to provide enhanced data packet buffering capacity for
established virtual circuits (VC's) through the node and one of its output ports (220)
while maintaining grades of service commitments. The method admits incoming
data packets to a node for an established VC based on a determination of
combination of factors including the effective memory requirements for each output
port as VC's are created or terminated, the portions of buffer memory in use for
conveying packets through the intended output port for the incoming packet, and the
total amount of available shared memory in the node. Such determinations enable
the node to better decide whether admitting the incoming packet would cause a
disproportionate allocation of the shared memory for the intended output port. As a
consequence, a relatively high packet buffering capacity can be achieved
substantially without violating grades of service commitments.

Abstract: A narrow band code book in which parameters
of a the region of a narrow band audio signal obtained
from patterns of a plurality of audio signals have
previously been stored and a wide band code book in
which parameters of a time region of a wide band audio
signal obtained from the patterns of a plurality of
audio signals have previously been stored in
correspondence to the code book of the narrow band are
prepared. The input narrow band audio signal is
analyzed by the code book of the narrow band and is
synthesized by the code book of the wide band. In this
instance, an autocorrelation is used as parameters of
the code books. A signal obtained by up-sampling an
LPC residual is used as an exciting source at the time
of audio synthesis.

Abstract: A method and device determines the metric value threshold used in a
Viterbi synchronization evaluation circuit which enables to synchronize with a
correct coding rate when multiple coding rates exist in the input signal to a
Viterbi decoder. A first coding rate setting unit sets a coding rate for which the
metric value threshold may need to be identified, and a second coding rate
setting unit sets a coding rate other than the coding rate set by the first coding
rate setting unit. A metric value threshold setting unit decreases values
gradually from the maximum metric value threshold as the
synchronous/asynchronous state of the Viterbi decoder is monitored by a
synchronous/asynchronous monitor in order to find the minimum metric value
threshold where the Viterbi decoder is not completely synchronized (limit for
judging asynchronicity). This minimum value is determined as the metric value
threshold for the coding rate set by the first coding rate setting unit.

Abstract: High usage lines in a telecommunications system must be detected to avoid local
areas of high call blockage. Such high usage lines are frequently lines that originate
or receive data calls. The presence of a data call is detected by testing for a signal,
such as a tone, on the call connection after an answer signal has been detected, and
testing to see if the duration of the call exceeds some predetermined quantity. Lines
which originate or receive data calls exceeding the predetermined quantity are then
monitored to measure their usage. Advantageously, many high usage lines can be
detected by monitoring only the relatively few lines that originate or receive data calls.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of handling conditional jump instructions in a computer processor (1). Space is allocated in a so-called instruction buffer (3) for respective instructions read into the processor. These spaces are given an order which corresponds to the order in which the instructions were read-in sequentially. The last position in the instruction buffer constitutes a read-out position (4). The processor (1) is adapted to predict the fulfilment of a conditional jump instruction when such a jump instruction is read-in, whereafter instructions can be read into and processed by the processor in accordance with this prediction. A wrong prediction will result in following instructions read into the processor and partially processed thereby being removed from the processor (1) so as to provide space for the read-in of correct instructions, in accordance with fulfilment of the condition.

Abstract: A machine control subsystem is used to provide centralized control during broadcast in a news production system. A director workstation is coupled to a server, which is in turn coupled to any number of external devices that may be used during broadcast to air and display video or audio images. The director workstation uses a graphical user interface to display a list of events that are to occur during the production. The events include all events that are to be aired by any of the coupled devices. A director at the workstation may then control the production of all of the types of events from a centralized control station. To select an event or a sequence of events for production, the director may simply select the event from an event list, and the event will be broadcast without the director having to know particular characteristics of the device to display the event. The director workstation is coupled to a server. The server includes device manager software for interfacing with and controlling the operation of all of the externally coupled devices. By providing a centralized communication pathway between the director workstation and the devices, the server may forward status information about the devices to the director workstation to facilitate redirection of ressources by the director.

Abstract: In a cell drive-type flat display panel, a metal electrode
pad (26) and common signal line (24) are disposed outside
the area (effective area) facing a recessed portion forming
a cell. The individual cell electrode (20) acting as a cell
electrode within the effective area is connected to a metal
electrode pad (26) by extending each cell electrode to the
metal electrode pad (26), while the metal electrode is not
extended toward the effective area to cover each cell
electrode. A common electrode (22) is connected to the
common signal line (24) by extending each cell electrode to
the metal electrode pad (26), while the metal electrode is
not extended toward the effective area and to cover each
cell electrode. This structure makes the cell electrodes
flat and can reduce the drive voltage from the effect
resulting from the suppressed dielectric film. The metal
electrode pad (26) has a top surface on which a pin
electrode is posted. The dielectric layer has an opening
from which the metal electrode pad (26) is exposed, and
covers the edges of the metal electrode pad (26). This
structure can prevent the transparent electrode layer
bridging the individual electrode (20) with the metal
electrode pad (26) from making contact with the dielectric
layer or frit with high reactivity.
