Abstract: A head slider for a recording disk drive comprises
a slider body (22) having a leading edge (29) and
trailing edge, a pair of rails (27, 28) formed on the
slider body (22) and extending to the trailing edge, a
pair of front projections (33) formed on the rails (27,
28) near the leading edge (29) respectively, a pair of
rear projections (34, 35) formed on the rails (27, 28)
at a predetermined distance from the trailing edge
respectively, and a pair or rugged surfaces (36, 38)
formed on the rails (27, 28) near the trailing edge
respectively. 
     With this head slider, it is possible reliably to
avoid a failure in starting the recording disk
rotating. Less torque of the spindle motor of the
recording disk drive allows the recording disk to start
rotating normally.

Abstract: A flash memory comprises an address bus (40), a data
bus (50), control lines, and an array (64) of addressable
non-volatile memory cells, connected to the address bus (40)
and the data bus (50). A latch (52, 54), activated by
control signals, stores signals supplied from the address
bus (40) or the data bus (50). A decoder (56) decodes the
signal stored in the latch (52, 54), and in response to a
first signal operates to partition the array (64) of memory
cells into a plurality of first sectors each having a first
size, and in response to a second signal operates to
partition the array (64) of memory cells into a plurality of
second sectors each of a second size, different from the
first size. Control circuitry (70) controls the erasure of
a first or a second sector of the memory array (64) in
response to the first or second signal decoded.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant de détecter des appels fac-similé dans un réseau fonctionnant soit en mode vocal soit en mode fac-similé. Ledit procédé consiste tout d'abord à initialiser un premier seuil de détection. Un premier détecteur (132) permet alors de détecter l'émission éventuelle par un télécopieur appelant d'une tonalité d'appel à l'intention d'un télécopieur appelé, et un deuxième détecteur (134) permet de détecter l'envoi éventuel par le télécopieur appelé d'une tonalité d'identification destinée au télécopieur appelant. Si le télécopieur appelant a effectivement émis la tonalité d'appel à l'intention du télécopieur appelé, on décrémente le seuil de détection d'une première valeur. Si le télécopieur appelé a effectivement transmis la tonalité d'identification au télécopieur appelant, on décrémente le seuil de détection d'une deuxième valeur. Si les deux tonalités d'appel et d'identification ont été établies, on décrémente le seuil de détection d'une troisième valeur. Un troisième détecteur (136) permet de surveiller les signaux envoyés par le télécopieur appelé, en vue de la génération d'une mesure d'indication. Cette mesure d'indication est représentative du nombre d'indicateurs d'informations détecté par le troisième détecteur (136). On compare cette mesure d'indication au seuil de détection et, si la mesure d'indication est supérieure au seuil de détection, cela signifie qu'un appel fac-similé a été détecté. La détection de l'appel fac-similé peut servir à faire passer un réseau du mode vocal en mode fac-similé. Le vocodeur (112) utilisé en mode vocal est temporairement désactivé lorsque le seuil de détection est dépassé une première fois, ce qui permet de confirmer l'existence de l'appel fac-similé avant de faire basculer le réseau du mode vocal au mode fac-similé.

Abstract: In a communication network, end-user systems are connected via a
common transmission medium to a timeslot assignment unit. Each end-user
system has a buffer for storing packets, and a queue length detector for
detecting a queue length of the stored packets. The end-user system
forwards packets on assigned timeslots to the network and transmits a signal
for indicating the detected queue length to the assignment unit. The timeslot
assignment unit maintains timeslot records to store count numbers of
assigned timeslots, determines a total count number of timeslots assigned to
each end-user system during a period corresponding to the delay time of the
unit, and receives a queue length signal from each end-user system. From the
total count number and the queue length a virtual queue length is
determined for indicating the number of packets to which timeslots are still
not assigned. Based on the virtual queue length, timeslots are assigned to
each end-user system.

Abstract: A phased array antenna in space receives a beacon signal from an earth based
beacon station at each of a plurality of antenna elements which make up the array.
The beacon signal is passed to a beacon signal processor which determines the
phase differences between the signal received at different antenna elements. The
phase differences provide a measure of the physical displacement of the antenna
elements from their nominal relative positions, due to distortion of the antenna
structure resulting from, for example, gravitational forces. To correct for the effect
of the displacement, phase compensation signals are generated corresponding to the
phase differences and are applied to the communication signals being transmitted
from and received at the antenna elements.
