Inventor: ITERUM SKEF F
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2000-10-18
Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for selecting a
node to host a primary server for a service from a plurality of nodes in a
distributed computing system. The system operates by receiving an indication
that a state of the distributed computing system has changed. In response to this
indication, the system determines if there is already a node hosting the primary
server for the service. If not, the system selects a node to host the primary server
using the assumption that a given node from the plurality of nodes in the
distributed computing system hosts the primary server. The system then
communicates rank information between the given node and other nodes in the
distributed computing system, wherein each node in the distributed computing
system has a unique rank with respect to the other nodes in the distributed
computing system. The system next compares the rank of the given node with the
rank of the other nodes in the distributed computing system. If one of the other
nodes has a higher rank than the given node, the system disqualifies the given
node from hosting the primary server.

Abstract: A reclosable package is disclosed having a front wall and a rear wall (46,48,80,82). A thermoplastic zipper male base member (16,58) is disposed at a top end of the front wall and a thermoplastic zipper female base member (18,60) is disposed at a top end of the rear wall. The base members (12,14,54,56) each have a profile which extends transversely across the walls. The profiles (16,18,58,60) are each disposed between a product side web (20,24,62,64) and a consumer side web (22,26,66,68). A heat resistant barrier (36,38,70,72) is provided on facing surfaces of the male and female product side webs (20,24,62,64), extending from product side longitudinal edges of the base members (12,14,54,56) toward the associated profiles (16,18,58,60). The male and female base members (12,14,54,56) are heat sealed to the front and rear walls (46,48,80,82), respectively, opposite to the heat resistant barriers (36,38,70,72) which are resistant to heat sealing to each other. The facing surfaces of the consumer side webs (22,26) may likewise have heat resistant barrier layers (40,42), in which case the package is sealed above the consumer side webs (22,26). Alternatively, the facing surfaces of the consumer side webs (66,68) may be provided with peel seal layers (74,76) which fuse together when the consumer side (60,68) webs are heat sealed to the bag walls (80,82), thereby forming a top seal for the package. A zipper for use in the disclosed package is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention provides a power control methodology that increases the
performance and the throughput of wireless communication systems. In particular, the
invention provides a reverse jamming prevention process that efficiently utilizes power
resources in a communication system such as CDMA. The invention advantageously
prevents reverse jamming due to link imbalance that results from differences in forward
and reverse link coverage. According to the invention, an evaluation set (e-set), which is
a super set of the active set of base transceiver stations serving specific users, is
determined to prevent the negative effects of reverse jamming. Excessive interference
problems in the reverse link, particularly in high-speed wireless systems, are thus
avoided.

Abstract: The present invention uses an image processing
apparatus for inputting low-resolution video
information, expanding one pixel to N×M pixels, and
converting a low-resolution image into a high-resolution
image, which comprises a first window
formation unit for referring to peripheral pixels
including a noticeable pixel, plural conversion units
different from each other in conversion method for
converting one pixel to N×M pixels, and a selection
unit for selecting a proper conversion method out of
the plural conversion units in accordance with a
distribution state of pixels in a first window and in
which the conversion units calculates conversion values
for N×M pixels of the noticeable pixel in accordance
with an evaluation result of the type of a selected
conversion unit in adjacent pixels including the
noticeable pixel in an evaluation unit. Thereby, when
converting low-resolution information into high-resolution
information, it is possible to realize a
preferable conversion free from jaggies without causing
halation due to interpolation and generate high-resolution
information in which continuity is not
broken at a boundary point for each conversion in
conversions provided with nonlinearity.

Title: Method and apparatus for starting a motor supplied by an engine-driven generator
Inventor: SATAKE SATORU
IPC: H02P23/00
Filed: 2000-11-03
Abstract: At a starting of a motor (6) which receives an electric
power from a generator (2) driven by an engine (3), an
excitation current controller (25) controls an excitation
current so as to cause an output frequency of a generator
(2) to approach a predetermined frequency which is lower
than a rated frequency when an output voltage detected by
an output voltage detector (22) is reduced to lower than a
first predetermined voltage. Thereafter, the excitation
current controller (25) controls the excitation current so
as to cause the output voltage of the generator to be the
rated voltage when the output voltage detector (22) detects
a second predetermined voltage which is higher than
the first predetermined voltage. In this way, the load
capacity which enables the starting by the engine-driven
generator without directly controlling the engine is improved.

Abstract: The present invention is a novel method and apparatus for providing transparent mobility of an entity within a network. The present invention allows a given entity, which has a communication path set up between it and a peer entity, to move from one location to another, without informing the peer entity of this movement, and without having the communication path broken. The present invention is applicable to decentralized networks using the IP protocol, and is particularly applicable on networks wherein it is desired that the mobility mechanism neither introduces latency nor decreases the available bandwidth of the network. In the present invention, neither is latency increased nor is bandwidth utilization increased, as is done in other mobility models. Additionally, the present invention utilizes standard protocols that are widely available from a plurality of equipment manufacturers on a variety of platforms. Thus, the present invention provides a very cost-effective model for network providers that need to support transparent mobility within their network.

Abstract: The invention disclosed here is a method for an encoder to encode
audiovisual information for transmission to the decoder without any prior
knowledge of the computational capabilities of the decoder. A descriptor
containing parameters that can be used to estimate the complexity of the
decoding process is embedded in the system stream. The encoder also
encodes the video information in such a manner that the decoder can choose to
ignore some of the information and only decode a subset of the encoded
information in order to reduce the computational requirements. This method
allows more than one decoder to decode the same bitstream giving different
resolutions depending on the computational capability of the decoder.
