Abstract: In a position detecting apparatus, electric power of a position pointer is turned on only when the position pointer is put within a particular range from a tablet to minimize consumption of a battery (23) disposed in the position pointer. When the position pointer is brought close to the tablet, a control signal transmitted from the tablet is detected by a resonant circuit (10) of the position pointer, and MOSFETs (24,25) serving as a power switch are turned on by the detected signal. In response, electric power is supplied from a battery (23) via the MOSFETs (24,25) to circuit elements of the position pointer, and thus an operation of the position pointer starts.

Abstract: An apparatus and methods for real-time policy evaluation in support of
network management and service provisioning are presented. The apparatus
includes a policy repository, a scheduler, a triggering module, a pre-computation
module. A policy equivalency class association is determined for
each policy-managed entity, policy, policy-managed information flow of
information and/ or any part of a communication network. Policy conditions
are divided into triggering and passive conditions. The scheduler prioritizes
policy evaluation for policies associated with passive conditions for entire
policy equivalency classes applicable to large numbers of policy-managed
entities. Real-time events and updates are trapped via triggering conditions
and related policy evaluation is performed for the entire policy equivalency
class, for a large number of policy-managed entities, in real-time. A policy
decision distribution mechanism provides policy-managed entities with policy
decisions for enforcement. Policy evaluation includes changing the association
of a policy-managed device with a group of policy equivalency classes.
Advantages are derived from real-time policy evaluation of policies related to
entire policy equivalency classes, each policy equivalency class being associated
with large numbers of policy-managed entities.
