Patent EP-0802639-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BERBERICH EDWARD CHARLES JR
IPC: H04W60/00
Filed: 1997-04-16
Abstract: A system for completing calls to a passenger aboard an aircraft. The passenger activates ground-to-air service by accessing a ground-to-air database subsystem that is located on the ground. The passenger gains access to the ground-to-air database by dialing a special service number and entering a Master Personal Identification Number (Master PIN). Once access to the database is obtained, the passenger may enter one or more ground-to-air forwarding parameters which enable the system to forward ground initiated calls directly to the passenger. At anytime after ground-to-air service has been activated, but before it is terminated, a person on the ground may initiate a call to the passenger by dialing the special service number. In a preferred embodiment, a Ground-to-Air User PIN is employed to screen ground callers.

Abstract: Ink is sucked in a first amount from recording heads (7, 8) by
applying negative pressure of suction pumps (16) to the
recording heads (7, 8) in a state in which communication
between the recording heads (7, 8) and the atmosphere is cut
off by sealing the recording heads (13, 34) by means of caps.

Abstract: An MPEG-2 or other compressed video stream can be manipulated
as separate information bus and coefficient streams. The information bus
contains motion vector information but also information derived from a

Abstract: An image processing system 20 comprises a format converter 21 for receiving a first signal having a larger bandwidth and a second signal having a smaller bandwidth, the first and second signals together representing an image. A processor 23 is arranged to process the first and second signals to produce signals representing a manipulated version of the image. The system further comprises a deriving circuit 25 which is arranged to derive from information in the larger bandwidth signal additional information for the smaller bandwidth signal. The deriving circuit derives an unknown value of a pixel as represented by the smaller bandwidth signal from known values of the pixel and the pixels adjacent thereto as represented by the larger bandwidth signal and from known values of the adjacent pixels as represented by the smaller bandwidth signal. The deriving circuit facilitates conversion of the first and second signals into another signal format representing the image.

Abstract: A method for detecting fault conditions on a multiplexed network having first and second busses (10,12). The method includes sensing a start of frame delimiter (SOF) for the first bus, and determining the state of the second bus when the SOF is sensed. If the state of the second bus has been passive over a first selected time period, the state of a differential between the first and second busses (10,12) is determined. If the state of the differential between the first and second busses is not indicative of a pre-qualified start of frame delimiter, then a passive fault is indicated. Additionally, the method includes sensing an end of frame delimiter (EOF) for the first bus, and determining the state of the second bus when the EOF is sensed. If the state of the second bus has been active over a selected time period, then an active fault for the second bus is indicated. A system for performing the method is also disclosed.

Abstract: Improved two component polymerizable polyorganosiloxane compositions are described, particularly for use in making dental impressions, having improved tear strength and wettability. Improved tear strength results from inclusion of a quadri-functional polysiloxane having a vinyl content of 0.16 to 0.24 m-mole/g. Working time is maintained by including sufficient amounts of a retarder composition that delays onset of the vinyl polymerization. Wettability is improved by including a surfactant resulting in a surface contact angle with water at three minutes of less than 50°. The surfactant chosen has an HLB of 8-11, such that the wetting contact angle is achieved within less than two minutes and remains wetting throughout the working time of the impression taking, substantially improving impression quality. A low viscosity impression material is provided and includes a base component and a catalyst component. Both components are siloxane-based materials.

Abstract: In fast Fourier transform, a necessary memory capacity is
decreased, thereby decreasing a cost. The fast Fourier
transform is performed on a symbol stored in a RAM by a
butterfly operation unit in accordance with a RAM address
generated by a RAM address generator. A RAM address conversion
unit converts an input/output dummy address into an
input/output real address by conducting bit reverse by a
frequency specified in accordance with an input/output bit
reverse signal, and converts a butterfly operation dummy
address into a butterfly operation real address by conducting
the bit reverse by a frequency specified in accordance with a
butterfly operation bit reverse signal. In this manner, among
output data of one symbol and input data of another symbol to
be stored in the RAM subsequently to the output data of the one
symbol, data having a common index indicating their orders in
the symbols can be stored at the same address in the RAM. As
a result, symbol input and symbol output can be overlapped.

Abstract: A novel circuit packaging structure including a combination of printed
lumped elements within a multi-layer stripline architecture is provided and
methods of making the same. The lumped elements are provided by printing the
individual passive elements, including interdigital capacitors and spiral inductors,

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for rendering devices on a cluster globally
visible, wherein the cluster includes a plurality of nodes on which the devices are
attached. The system establishes for each of the devices in the cluster at least one
globally unique identifier enabling global access to the device. The system includes
a device registrar that creates the identifiers and a global file system. The
identifiers include a globally unique logical name by which users of the cluster
identify the device and a globally unique physical name by which the global file
system identifies the device. The registrar creates a one-to-one mapping between
the logical name and the physical name for each of the devices. The system also
includes a device information (dev_info) data structure maintained by the device
registrar that represents physical associations of the devices within the cluster.
Each association corresponds to the physical name of a device file maintained by
the global file system. The device registrar determines for an attached device a
globally unique, device type (dev_t) value; creates dev_info data structure entry and
a corresponding physical name; generates a logical name based on the dev_t value
and the physical name; and associates the dev_t value with the device file
representing the attached device. Given this framework, a user of the cluster can
access any of the devices by issuing the global file system an access request
identifying the device to be accessed by its logical name.
