Abstract: In a document managing apparatus for forming a
compressed document file where a keyword retrieval is
available, a first process operation and a second
process operation are alternately executed. In the
first process operation, when document data to be
compressed is given, the respective characters are
directly written into a compressed document file until
an end control character string appears in this document
data. In the second process operation, data obtained by
coding the respective characters are written into the
compressed document file until a start control character
series appears in the document data. Also, in this
document managing apparatus, a third process operation
and a fourth process operation are alternately
performed, when the compressed document file is
restored. In the third process operation, the
respective data (characters) are directly outputted
until the end control character string appears in the
data contained in the compressed document file. In the
fourth process operation, the decoding operation is
carried out until the start control character string
appears in the restored result of the data contained in
the compressed document file.

operating frequency. First and second current supplying circuits are provided
as sources for supplying currents to first and third differential circuits for
inputting data and to second and fourth differential circuits for holding data in
a master circuit and a slave circuit. Further, timing for supplying the currents

Abstract: In a wireless network containing battery powered stations, one station is designated as a
control point (CP). Each of the remaining stations has two operating modes: an active
mode in which it receives and transmits messages, and an inactive or sleep mode which
incurs reduced power consumption. The Control Point periodically transmits a beacon
signal, and each station switches to its active mode to receive at least some of these
beacon signals. A beacon signal may indicate that data is available for transmission to a
particular station (from another station), in which case that particular station then
broadcasts a message to indicate that it is awake and can receive messages. A beacon
signal also indicates whether a broadcast period is in progress, and time to elapse until a
next possible broadcast period will commence; if the Control Point has previously
received and stored any broadcast messages it will re-broadcast them during the next
following broadcast period and the remaining stations will react by remaining in active
mode for the duration of that period.

Abstract: The present invention is a method for extending a cell radius or access range of a
base station without incurring ASIC correlator re-design. This is accomplished using a modified
timing protocol that will cause signals transmitted by mobile-telephones positioned beyond the
limitations of the ASIC correlator bit limitation to be received within a search window so the
signals may be detected and demodulated. In one embodiment, the modified timing protocol
incorporates a timing advance technique in which the base station transmits its signals at an
advanced time before frame boundaries such that signals transmitted by out-of-range mobile-telephones
can be received within a search window beginning at a frame boundary and spanning
a time interval corresponding to the ASIC correlator bit limitation. In another embodiment, the
modified timing protocol incorporates a shifted search window that begins at an advanced time
after a frame boundary and spans a time interval corresponding to the ASIC correlator bit
limitation.

expands, the expansion is directed radially inward by this differential
stretchability so that the hole (3) is efficiently filled.
