Abstract: A method for compressing a data stream, where a first portion of the data
stream is read into a window, which has a history buffer and look-ahead buffer.
An index is selected, taken from a fourth portion of the data stream in the look-ahead
buffer, and based on this index, an entry in a pointer array is selected. An
initial entry in a record array is selected based on the pointer array entry. The
record array initial entry has a history buffer address and record array address. A
third portion of the data stream is selected, starting at an address in the history
buffer referenced by the history buffer address of the initial entry. The third
portion of the data stream is compared to a second portion of the data stream in
the look-ahead buffer. If the third portion of the data stream does not match the
second portion of the data stream, then a subsequent entry in the record array is
selected, based on the record array address of the initial entry, and the
subsequent entry is then designated as the initial entry. The steps from selecting
the third portion through selecting a subsequent entry are repeated until either
the third portion of the data stream matches the second portion of the data
stream, or no more entries are left in the record array. In the case when there are
no more entries left in the record array, the second portion of the data stream is
written to the output file, and the first portion of the data stream read into the
window is incremented by a predetermined amount. In the case when the third
portion of the data stream matches the second portion of the data stream, the
history buffer address of the third portion of the data stream and a length value,
representing how many bytes of the third portion of the data stream and the
second portion of the data stream matched, are output to the output file, and the
first portion of the data stream read into the window is incremented by the
number of bytes matched. The steps of the method from the step of selecting an
index are repeated until all of the data stream has been read into the window.

Abstract: A platinum film, which is used as a bottom electrode for a
capacitor in a DRAM cell or a non-volatile ferroelectric memory
cell, is formed in two separate processes, wherein a first
thickness platinum part thereof is deposited under an inert gas
atmosphere, and the second thickness platinum part is deposited
under an atmosphere containing oxygen, nitrogen and/or a mixture
thereof as well as an inert gas. The platinum film is annealed
under a vacuum atmosphere to remove the oxygen an/or nitrogen
introduced during the deposition of the second thickness platinum
part. The annealed platinum film prevents formation of an oxide on
a functional intermediate film such as a diffusion barrier layer or
an adhesion layer, which is provided below the bottom electrode of
platinum film.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of increasing the
availability of an application executed by a computer system.
More particularly, the invention relates to a method of
increasing the availability of an application executed by one
or more application clients and a multitude of application
servers executing the same application. 
     The fundamental teaching comprises a multi-casting step
wherein an application client is requesting execution of an
application service by sending an identical application
service request to a collection of N out of M application
servers with 1 < N ≤ M in parallel. 
     Within an application server, preceding the application
service execution step, an "only-once" determination step is
suggested, for determining whether an application service
request must not be executed more than once without
jeopardizing application consistency. For such a case the
taught method provides "only-once" execution behavior.

Abstract: A method of improving frame erasure performance for
slow frequency hopping channels utilizing two convolutional
decoding steps and two PBER thresholds in conjunction with the
cyclic redundancy check. The breakdown condition in the
convolutional decoding process is detected by means of a 'forward
backward decoding' algorithm. The breakdown condition is
detected with two passes of the convolutional decoder. When the
decoder breaks down an essentially random burst of erroneous
decoded bits are produced, and due to the memory effect of the
decoder these will be different in each decoding direction. These
erroneous random errors may be detected by comparison of the
two decoded sets of data.

Abstract: An improved method of estimating the square root, reciprocal square
root, and reciprocal of an input value in a computer system. The input
value, after being normalized, is used to select a pair of constants from
a table. The constants are based on a linear approximation of the
function for each interval of the input value, offset to reduce a maximum
error value for a given interval. The estimated function is calculated
by adding or subtracting the product of a part of the normalized input
value and the first constant from the second constant. In one
implementation, the input value is normalized within the range 1 ≤ x < 2,
and one lookup table is used, having an interval size of 1/32. In a
further preferred embodiment, only a lower order part of the mantissa is
used in the multiply-add operation, to reduce the number of bits required
(the high order part of the mantissa is used to select the constants from
the table). In another implementation, the input value is normalized
within the range 0.5 ≤ x < 2, and two lookup tables are used, a first
table having an interval size of 1/32 for the range 0.5 ≤ x < 1, and a
second table having an interval size of 1/16 for the range 1 ≤ x < 2.
