Patent EP-1261157-A3 (EP)
Inventor: COURTNEY JOHN
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2002-05-22
Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for
providing hitless protection switching in a transmission
systems which support a standardised implementation of
virtual concatenation. A switching apparatus is arranged
to receive data signals on at least two transmission paths
and to output data from a selected one of said
transmission paths. The apparatus is arranged to align
the respective received data signals so that a selector
mechanism can select between corresponding elements of the
received data signals. This arrangement allows hitless
switching to be performed since there is no loss or
repetition of signal elements when switching occurs. In a
preferred embodiment, data in respect of each frame of
each data signal is stored and the selector mechanism
selects between paths on a frame-by-frame basis by
comparing quality information carried by the data signals.
This arrangement offers a very low end to end Bit Error
Rate (BER) performance. The invention is suitable for both
synchronous and non-synchronous networks (for example,
OTN)which implement standardised virtual concatenation.

Abstract: The power control process of the present invention enables a mobile
radiotelephone to continuously update the base station on the power
output required. The base station sends a frame to the mobile at a
particular rate. If the mobile received and decoded the frame correctly, it
sets a power control bit in the next frame to be transmitted to the base
station. Based on the error rate of the received power control bits, the base
station determines whether to increase or decrease the transmit power.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling CPU speed transition can use an SMI (System Management Interrupt) signal to perform speed transition of a CPU of a computer such as a notebook computer. However, if the bus master device is in the active state, a control operation needed for CPU speed transition is cancelled at the same time an event signal (e.g., a watchdog SMI or an embedded controller SMI) is created at prescribed intervals and the bus mater device active state is accordingly re-checked. Therefore, when the bus master device is in the active state, the control operation for CPU speed transition is cancelled to prevent the computer from hanging up, and the CPU speed transition control operation is periodically retried to increase a likelihood of a normal CPU speed transition or the normal CPU speed transition can be established.

Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and method that can estimate the maximum delay spread by means of simple computation while being robust against SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) variations. A standard deviation value of a noise component is produced from time-domain signal values obtained from a received signal. The time-domain signal values corresponding to preset sampling points are compared with a threshold value designated by the standard deviation value. A delay time of a time index that corresponds to a time-domain signal value equal to or larger than the threshold value and simultaneously is the maximum time index among time indexes respectively corresponding to the sampling points is detected to be a maximum delay spread value.

Abstract: A polarization control device for a lithography system selectively polarizes light in horizontal, vertical and/or circular orientations. A pair of relatively rotatable quarter-wave plates move to provide the desired polarization. When the quarter-wave plates are at a relative angle of 45 degrees, the polarization is circular. When the quarter-wave plates are both at zero or 45 degrees, the resulting polarization is vertical or horizontal. The polarization is selected based on the orientation of an image to be projected. Horizontal polarization is preferably used for images with a strong horizontal orientation, and vertical polarization is selected for images with a strong vertical orientation. Circular orientation is selected when the image has no strong horizontal or vertical orientation.
