Abstract: A method and a transceiver for selecting a current transmission mode (Modec) in a data packet oriented communication system. The method comprises the steps of:   measuring a current radio link quality ((RLQ)C) for the radio link,   estimating on the lower layer a first status value (S1), which corresponds to a state of the automatic request buffer on the higher layer, determining on said lower layer a second status value (S2), which corresponds to a state of the automatic request buffer on said lower layer, calculating for said lower layer a target transmission rate ((N/T)target), wherein said target transmission rate is based on the first (S1) and the second (S2) status value, identifying from the set (Nset) of the available transmission modes (Modei) a subset (NSubset) of transmission modes, each of said transmission modes in the subset (NSubset) provides a maximum transmission of data packets for radio link quality values (RLQ) lower than the current radio link quality ((RLQ)C), and selecting from said subset (NSubset) a transmission mode as the current transmission mode (Modec), which provides the specific transmission rate ((N/T)i) closest to the calculated target transmission rate ((N/T)target)   <IMAGE>

Abstract: An image-capturing unit generates an image signal corresponding to an image of a subject formed by a photographing optical system. A point spread function generating unit generates varying point spread functions corresponding to various distances based upon two-dimensional distance distribution information indicating the two-dimensional distance distribution of the subject detected by a distance detection unit and an image blur signal indicating an image blur occurring during the exposure period which is detected by a blur detection unit. An image repair unit divides the image signal into partial images based upon the distance distribution information, executes image processing to repair the blur in the individual partial images by using the point spread functions corresponding to the various distances and creates a whole image by synthesizing the partial images in which the blur has been repaired.

Abstract: An interface device (22) is connected to a host computer (20) by an I/O bus (40) and provides hardware and processing mechanisms for accelerating data transfers between a network (25, 28) and a storage unit (66, 70), while controlling the data transfers by the host (20). The interface device includes hardware circuitry (52, 58, 60) for processing network packet headers, and can use a dedicated fast-path for data transfer between the network (25, 28) and the storage unit (66, 70), the fast-path set up by the host(20). The host CPU (30) and protocol stack (38) avoids protocol processing for data transfer over the fast-path, freeing host bus bandwidth, and the data need not cross the I/Obus (40), freeing I/O bus bandwidth. The storage unit (66, 70) may include RAID or other multiple drive configurations and may be connected to the interface device (22) by a parallel channel such as SCSI or by a serial channel such as Ethernet of Fibre Channel. The interface device (22) contains a file cache (80) that stores data transferred between the network and the storage unit, with organization of data in the interface device file cache (80) controlled by a file system (23) on the host. Additional interface devices (303, 310, 420, 490) may be connected to the host (20) via the I/O bus (40), with each additional interface device (303, 310, 420, 490) having a file cache controlled by the host file system (23), and providing additional network connections (305, 313, 414, 416, 418, 420, 492, 494) and/or being connected to additional storage units (308, 315).

Abstract: A method and system for AO3R functionality is presented. The system includes an AO2R device followed by an AOCR clock recovery module and an AOR retiming device. The AOR retiming device takes as input a recovered clock signal extracted from the output of the AO2R by the AOCR clock recovery module. The output is the recovered clock signal gated by the regenerated and reshaped input signal, and a monitor circuit is used to set the optimum operations of the retiming device. In a first embodiment, the output of the AOR retiming device is fed to an AOC code and wavelength conversion output stage, which returns the signal to the NRZ coding, on a service wavelength converted to match the fixed wavelength connection with the DWDM transmission system. In a second embodiment, the code conversion is incorporated into the AOR retiming device, and wavelength conversion is accomplished in the AOCR clock recovery device.
