Abstract: A method and apparatus for accessing a communication system relies on the use of varying access probabilities for subscribers or messages of varying priority. A serving infrastructure entity (e.g., a base station) determines access probabilities (e.g., phi and plo where there are two classes of subscribers) in response to known system parameters like the current rate of access attempts for each priority class of user/message. Values representative of these access probabilities are then transmitted to the subscriber unit(s), for example by use of a system broadcast channel or control channels. These values are then used by the subscriber units in determining when to access an uplink channel. A temporal and/or proportional priority distribution approach is preferably used in determining the access values. As a result of this contention-based prioritization, an expedited access is achieved by higher priority units/traffic, thus increasing their throughput.

Data so stored and distributed includes computer-displayable data. Other data handled by the computer subsystem represents commands and functional requests issued by participants which pertain to the handling of computer-displayable data and voice parameters of the conference. conference participants, having separate and concurrent access to both the PSTN and the data network, receive and view computer-displayable data prepared by one of the participants in coordination with the respective voice conference. The conference server system connects to voice conference management resources of the PSTN in a manner enabling the server system to control voice parameters of a voice conference in response to data requests received from participants (e.g. requests from hearing-impaired participants for enhanced audio service), as well as enabling the conference management resources to control functions performed in respect to distribution of displayable data in response to spoken requests uttered by the participants, when the telephone system contains appropriate speech recognition equipment. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A radio frequency automatic identification system detects targets which include solid resonators resonating at several frequencies, attributing information to the frequencies at which the target resonates. Preferred resonators are quartz crystals, which according to the invention, may be made by a process of heating quartz to soften it and cutting crystals to approximate size and resonant frequency. Resonators produced by such a process may be measured to determine their actual resonant frequency, and preferably the crystals may be sorted into predetermined frequency windows in accordance with their measured resonant frequency. A set of resonators having frequencies corresponding to predetermined data can be selected from the sorted groups of resonators and incorporated into a target. A preferred target is an ink-like material having a plurality of resonators disposed in a matrix which is radio frequency transparent at the frequency of interest. Targets maybe detected by repetitively sweeping the frequency of the interrogating signal through a range which includes the information-bearing range of the system. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for estimating a flow in an observation plane from the Doppler velocity distribution in the observation plane. A Doppler flow function is found from the Doppler velocity distribution by linear integration. A flow rate passing through a path perpendicular to a beam direction is found from the Doppler velocity distribution, and a Doppler flow range function representing a variation of this flow rate in the beam direction is calculated. The Doppler flow range function is separated into a linear boundary flow range function which is a two-dimensional component and a planar boundary flow range function which is a three-dimensional component. The planar boundary flow range function is approximated by a stepwise quantized planar boundary flow range function which varies in unit flow rate, and sink points and source points (simple sources) are determined based on a step position of this quantized planar boundary flow range function. A simple source flow function representing a three-dimensional inflow/outflow to and from the observation plane is calculated from a distribution of simple sources. A smoothed simple source flow function is subtracted from the Doppler flow function so as to calculate a planar flow function. The planar flow function and simple source flow function are combined so as to estimate a planar flow based on a contour line of this combined function.
