Abstract: The present invention relates to a switching unit with a scalable and QoS aware flow control. The actual schedule rate of an egress queue, wherein the outgoing traffic belonging to a particular class of service is backlogged, is measured and compared to its expected schedule rate. If the egress queue is scheduled below expectation, then the bandwidth of every virtual ingress-to-egress pipe connecting an ingress queue, wherein the incoming traffic belonging to the same class of service is backlogged before transmission through the switch core fabric, to that egress queue is increased, thereby feeding that egress queue with more data units.

Abstract: It permits carrying out the secure distribution and purchase on mobile terminals (2) of use rights files that are associated with a content included in a digital file. To do so, it uses the public and private keys conventionally granted to the devices, and consists of encrypting a random session key by means of the public key of the smart card (11) conventionally included in mobile terminals (2). Furthermore, the use rights file is encrypted with the random session key and it sends the encryptions to the mobile terminal (2) where the random session key is decrypted by means of the private key of the smart card (11), and the rights file is decrypted with the obtained random session key, the correct distribution of the use rights file thus occurring. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for controlling an electric motor by regulating at least the current Iout, the voltage Uout and the frequency fout to an input of said motor, where the number of revolutions of said electric motor is proportional to said frequency fout. If an available power Pin from an energy source is greater than or equal to the nominal requested power Pnom of said electric motor, the current Iout, voltage Uout and frequency fout are set to there corresponding nominal values Inom, Unom and fnom, respectively, to achieve said requested power Pnom and frequency fnom. If said available power Pin is less than the requester power Pnom, the voltage Uout and the frequency fout are reduced such that the relation between the voltage Uout and the frequency fout is essentially constant while said current Iout is kept at its nominal value Inom.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for slow-start scheduling packets, such as in systems having a non-blocking switching fabric and homogeneous or heterogeneous line card interfaces. In one implementation, multiple request generators, grant arbiters, and acceptance arbiters work in conjunction to determine the scheduling of packets. A set of requests for sending packets from a particular input is identified. The number of requests is possibly reduced to a value less than the number of packets that can be sent from the particular source if the particular input is not saturated. Otherwise, when the particular input is saturated, the number of requests remains the same or is reduced to the maximum number of packets that can be sent during a packet time.
