Title: Connection setup using flexible protocol configuration
Inventor: REZAIIFAR RAMIN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2005-12-22
Abstract: A user terminal establishes a session with a first access point (AP0) and obtains a token associated with modem configuration information used for radio communication. The user terminal thereafter establishes a connection with a second access point (AP1) by sending the token. AP1 receives the token, obtains the modem configuration information associated with the token, and initializes an air interface protocol stack with the modem configuration information to obtain a modem-specific protocol stack for the user terminal.  AP1 sends a response indicating successful connection setup. The user terminal and AP1 thereafter communicate in accordance with the modem-specific protocol stack. AP1 may attempt to fetch the session for the user terminal from AP0. If this is successful, then AP1 updates the protocol stack with the session information to obtain a complete protocol stack for the user terminal. The user terminal and AP1 thereafter communicate with the complete protocol stack.

IPC: G11B7/0065
Filed: 2006-06-02
Abstract: [Object] To provide a hologram information reproducing device which can reproduce information from a recording medium on which hologram information is recorded, and which can be downsized. [Solving Means] When light from a light source 11 is emitted, the light is converted into reference light A, which is parallel light, by a lens 121 of an optical system 12. A mirror 122 changes the orientation of the reference light A so that it is oriented obliquely downward towards a recording medium M. More specifically, as viewed from the top, the mirror 122 changes a path of the light from the light source unit 11 by approximately 90 degrees. In addition, as viewed from the side, the mirror 122 changes the path of the light from the light source unit 11 downward by approximately 45 degrees. Since an interference pattern 25 recorded on the recording medium M is a Bragg grating, when the reference light A illuminates a recording area 24 of the recording medium M, a reproduction light B is obtained by Bragg diffraction. The reproduction light B is reflected by a reflecting layer 23 of the recording medium M, and is detected by a photodetector 13.

Title: High impedance system for generating electric fields and method of use
Inventor: MAY WAYNE A
IPC: G01N27/02
Filed: 2006-10-31
Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for generating time variant and invariant electric fields (E-fields) for various applications. Generating the E-field utilizes high impedance dielectric materials having a collection of three imperative material properties: high permittivity (.epsilon.), high volume resistivity (.rho.) and high maximum allowable E-field stress (.phi.) and physical geometries that take advantage of the manner in which E-fields are divided or distributed in series capacitance networks. The generated E-field can act upon a subject material, including a gas, liquid or solid, wherein the material is stationary or in motion. The method allows an E-field of given intensity to be set up in the subject material with a significantly lower applied voltage .PHI.a, or conversely, a significantly higher E-field intensity with a given applied voltage .PHI.a. The method forestalls electric conduction current through the subject material, thus significantly reducing electric conduction current, energy consumption, ohmic heating, and preempting electrochemical reactions at the electrode/fluid interfaces. Acoustic energy may also be applied.

Title: Drive circuit for a switchable heating transformer of an electronic ballast and corresponding method
Inventor: SCHMITT HARALD
IPC: H05B41/295
Filed: 2006-10-26
Abstract: The drive signal for a switchable heating transformer of an electronic ballast should be capable of being produced in a simple manner. For this purpose, the invention provides for an oscillating inverter voltage, which has a variable inverter frequency, to be tapped off, for example, at the half-bridge center point. The inverter frequency is then preferably converted into a drive signal by a charge pump (C1, C2, D1, D2). As a function of this drive signal, the heating transformer (HT) is switched. Synchronization with externally controlled sequence control of the electronic ballast is therefore also possible.
