Abstract: An electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage prevention device comprises a spark gap
(36,38) coupled in series with a high-impedance network (40-44) with a first node of the
series combination of the spark gap and high-impedance network coupled to a conductive
location that may be subject to an electrostatic discharge and the second node coupled to a

Abstract: An idle speed control system for a direct injection
spark ignition engine controlled to operate in either
homogeneous air/fuel modes or stratified air/fuel modes.
When operating in a stratified air/fuel mode, engine idle
speed is controlled by controlling the engine air/fuel
during unthrottled operation. When operating stratified and
also throttled, engine idle speed is controlled by both
controlling air/fuel and controlling the throttle. When
operating in the homogeneous modes, engine idle speed is
controlled by controlling both the throttle and ignition
timing.

Abstract: The invention relates to the switching of low bit rate connections between input modules and output modules of a network component (e.g. BSC, RNC, TRAU). In accordance with the invention, the input modules (ILIC) and the output modules (OLIC) form a first switching level. An ATM switching centre (ASW) placed between the input modules and the output modules form a second switching level. In the first switching level, several low bit rate connections (TDM-I) are respectively grouped in at least one ATM by the input module (ILIC), said low bit rate connections being situated in the input module (ILIC) and having to be transmitted to the same output module (OLIC). In the second switching level, the switching centre ATM (ASW) guarantees through-connection of the ATM connections in order to transfer information in ATM cells. Then, in the first switching level, the through-connected ATM connections are converted by the output module (OLIC) into the low bit rate connection (TDM-O) of at least one input module (ILIC). The combined switching in two switching levels represents a particularly economical solution for functions specific to mobile radio, while guaranteeing acceptable speech quality with good utilization of the ATM bandwidth.

characteristics thereof are mutually different and the respective loss wavelength
characteristics have mutually different temperature dependencies, and the
characteristics of the LPG's are set corresponding to the gain wavelength
characteristic of the optical amplifier and a temperature dependency of the gain
wavelength characteristic of the optical amplifier, respectively. In this way, there

Abstract: Fault tolerance is provided in a computing system using a technique referred to as
indirect instrumentation. In one embodiment, a number of different copies of a given
target program are executed on different machines in the system. Each of the machines
includes a controller for controlling the execution of the copy of the target program on
that machine. The controllers communicate with a user interface of an instrumentation
tool on another machine. A user specifies variables to be monitored, breakpoints, voting
and recovery parameters and other information using the user interface of the
instrumentation tool, and the tool communicates corresponding commands to each of the
controllers for use in executing the copies. A fault is detected in one of the copies by
comparing values of a user-specified variable generated by the different copies at the
designated breakpoints. Upon detection of a fault in a given one of the copies, a
checkpoint is taken of another one of the copies that has been determined to be operating
properly, and a new copy is restarted from the checkpoint. The use of the controllers
allows faults to be detected and appropriate recovery actions to be taken without
modification of target program code.

Abstract: A wideband code division multiple access (CDMA) communication system overlayed on
an IS-95 network generates two or more digital bit streams from a group of wideband digital data
streams, each digital bit stream spread to form a CDMA component signal. Each CDMA
component signal is combined with a corresponding IS-95 digital bit stream to form a composite
CDMA signal, allowing a base station to share transmitter subsystems between the wideband and
IS-95 systems. For up to three carrier frequencies, up to three composite CDMA signals are
employed. A digital bit stream for a group of summed user conversations in the IS-95 system
modulates a respective RF carrier frequency to generate a low-power RF signal. The CDMA
component signals of the wideband CDMA system are generated so each has a chip rate identical
to the chip rate of the digital bit streams of the IS-95 system. The baseband digital data streams
for all wideband user conversations are summed digitally for each targeted RF carrier frequency
to produce the composite wideband digital signal for each targeted frequency. In one application,
each composite wideband digital signal, each at the IS-95 chip rate, is then used to modulate a
carrier frequency which is either the same, or has approximately the same frequency and phase as
the carrier frequency used in the IS-95 system. Three low-power RF signals are produced in the
wideband system, each having the same spectral characteristics as the corresponding low-power
RF signals generated in the IS-95 system. These low-power RF signals at the same frequency are
combined into a single signal provided to the amplifier and antenna subsystem of a base station
transmitter. In another application, each composite digital signal is digitally combined with a
respective IS-95 digital bit stream prior to modulation by respective RF carrier. Therefore, signal
combining between the IS-95 and wideband CDMA portions of a base station system is
accomplished either digitally or with RF signals prior to amplification, thereby allowing the IS-95
system and wideband CDMA system portions of the base station to share RF filters, amplifiers and
antennas of the base station transmitters.
