Patent EP-0210593-A2 (EP)
Inventor: AMSTUTZ STANFORD R
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1986-07-24
Abstract: This invention provides a high-speed switching processor (700) which may be employed as a component of a link switch or a hub switch in a burst-switching communications system. When so employed, transmission speeds for integrated voice and data services over communications links between switches may be equivalent to the T1 rate or higher. A burst is a plurality of bytes which represents, for example, a block of data or a spurt of voice energy sensed by silence/ voice detectors located at voice ports. In a preferred embodiment. the architecture of the switching processor includes a data / address bus (712), control (710) including a stored program in a 64-bit wide PROM (702), a finite-state machine (722) having character and channel states for generating a jump address in the stored program based on the status of an incoming burst, interfaces (714,718) with other components of the switch such as the queue sequencer, a companion processor, and a dual-port REM (716) for generating a buffer address as a function of channel number for the dynamic buffer in character memory in which the incoming burst is being stored. In this architecture, most components of the switching processor operate substantially in parallel with and independently of the control which is a contributing factor to the overall speed advantage realized by the switching processor. With software or firmware variations, the switching processor may be employed as several different components of a link or hub switch.

Abstract: Attachment apparatus for attaching a first object to a second object. The first object has a groove (205) with parallel sides; the second object has attached thereto a spline (305) with a flexible blade (307). When the spline is inserted in the groove, the blade exerts a force against one wall of the groove which forces the spline against the other wall, thereby retaining the spline in the groove. Also disclosed is label attachment apparatus employed generally to removably attach a label to a surface and specifically to removably attach a function key strip to a keyboard. The surface has a groove (205) and the label has means (305, 307) which frictionally engage the groove. A preferred embodiment of the label attachment apparatus employs the groove, spline, and flexible blade as described above.

Abstract: A Gattling-gun-like amusement game (10) provides for manual control of the rate of firing and dispensing of dislodged targets (28) as prizes to the player. The gun fires balls (40) at round targets (28) supported on rotating carousels (32). Dislodged targets (28) roll to the front of an enclosure for dispensing to the player. The balls (40) are separated and fed by an Archimedes' spiral (73) to a feed tube (88) connected to the gun. A sensor (90) is used with controls to limit the number of balls (40) provided to a player. The balls (40) are fed through two successive nip regions (98,114) formed by pinch rollers (96,112). The first is manually controlled by a crank (108) to vary the rate of firing. Balls (40) delivered from the first nip region (98) are fired at high speed by a fast rotating,fixed speed second pinch roller (112).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for assaying a species in a biological sample fluid. The apparatus comprises an SAW device (1) comprising a slab (2) of piezoelectric material on the upper surface (5) of which is formed an input transducer (3) and an output transducer (4). A source of RF energy is applied to the input transducer to generate a surface acoustic wave. Applied to the surface (5) is a thin layer (8) of a material capable of binding a species to be assayed. The sample (13) to be tested is applied to the top of the layer (8). A collimated light beam (1) from a source (9) is applied to the thin film from underneath the slab (2) and is collected by a photodetector (12). When the slab (2) is energised, the vibration sets up an effective diffraction grating which is coupled to the thin film and acts to diffract the light beam (10) applied to it. The energy in the diffracted beam, as measured by the photodetector (12), is indicative of the progress and result of the reaction between the layer 8 and the sample

Abstract: A desktop computer based Computer-Aided Design (CAD) system is disclosed which has photographic-resolution displays, internal evaluative numerical algorithms, and the capability of interac­tive, individual image manipulation by a user. The disclosure concentrates on a space management applica­tion of the CAD system. A practical embodiment com­prises a frame buffer which is scanned and converted to a video image. The contents of this frame buffer are the end product of the invention, and are formed as follows. Photographic-resolution images are digitized and entered into a desktop computer along with prelimi­nary entered data regarding the physical objects and interactively entered restraints imposed by the user. An evaluative numerical applications program executed by the desktop computer's central processing unit (CPU) causes the above digitized images to be moved into specific areas of the frame buffer in conformance with principles which vary with the particular application. Two embodiments respectively involve preliminary formation of a library of compressed images, and "on-the-fly" compression of digitized images. A high-speed, integer image compression method is also disclosed.
