Patent EP-0496718-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WEINBERG ALAN
IPC: H02M3/28
Filed: 1992-01-17
Abstract: A switching current converter (10) is connected in parallel with each controlled power switch (S1) in an electric circuit so that it is allowed to operate from the input voltage and transfer energy from input to output during the turn-on periods of the controlled power switch, whereby each power switch is allowed to be turned ON when a near-to-zero voltage is present across it. The switching converter (10) serves as an active power switch stress relieving means, resulting in minimizing the switching loss in the power switch (S1) while providing the energy for operation of the power switch in a very efficient way.

Abstract: A recyclable tape reel which is a one-piece, integrally molded member, including: a lower, planar, continuous flange; a central hub connected to the lower flange; an upper, planar continuous flange attached to the hub; and a reel spring molded integrally of the upper end of the tape reel. A leader clip can be formed separately and assembled on the hub, or can be integrally molded of the hub. The leader clip and reel spring can be formed together as one piece and attached to the hub, or they can be molded together integrally of the hub. The dust door can be removed but the dust door metal spring remains in the cassette. However, the cassette base includes an opening to allow the metal dust door to fall out of the cassette spring. The cassette base includes openings to disengage the leader clip from outside the tape cassette, thereby allowing the tape and leader to be removed from the cassette without opening the cassette. All parts of the cassette, except the dust door spring and tape, are made of the same plastic material which can be recycled as one piece once the tape and dust door spring are removed without opening the tape cassette. The thickness of the cassette walls is less than conventional, but supports are added at the walls to reinforce the cassette. Also, the supports contain radial and vertical movement of the tape reels.

Abstract: A leased-line network architecture comprises two pools of circuits connectable via a series connection of a first access system (1), a cross-connect (3) and a second access system (1). To monitor the performance of the user paths in this series connection path overheads (POHs) similar to those provided by SDH are used. These POHs are carried as CAS bits in a separate path to a traffic path (Fig. 2). In the event of unacceptable performance of the series connection user paths, a back-up connection involving a PSTN switch (2) is employed. A CRC syndrome method of framing is used for framing the POH path and for establishing the framing relation between the CAS bits on the POH path and the traffic path (Fig. 1).

Abstract: Method and apparatus for avoiding receive livelock and transmit starvation, and for minimizing packet loss and latency in a communication network station. The invention uses a combination of processing threads, polling and, in a preferred embodiment, a judicious use of interrupts, to allocate the use of processing resources fairly among competing functions. Real time processing threads are structured to execute for a preselected maximum time interval, based on numbers of units processed by each thread, and then to yield control to a thread scheduler, which selects and invokes a new thread for execution. Work to be done in the various threads is determined either by polling or by an interrupt system, and then posted to the threads for execution. If interrupts are used, interrupt service routines perform only the minimal processing needed to recognize an interrupt, other interrupt servicing functions being deferred for execution in a processing thread. The thread scheduler operates on a round-robin basis and also selects from at least one general purpose processing thread for functions that are less time critical, the general purpose thread being structured to operate for a selected minimum time, if needed, in a non-preemptable mode, and thereafter in a preemptable mode.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for operating a processor-controlled machine to produce a composite view of an original, or first, image by combining the functions of multiple viewing operations and using the model data structure from which the first image was produced (called the "FIMDS".) A first viewing operation region (1VOR) (20) in a first viewing position in the display area (180) of the display device has displayed in the 1VOR (20) a second image produced according to a first viewing operation (VO1), associated with the 1VOR, that maps the FIMDS to image definition data defining the second image. Request signal data is received from a signal source to present a second viewing operation region (2VOR) (40) in the display area (180) coextensive with at least a portion of the 1VOR (20), forming a composite viewing operation region in the overlapping region. The 2VOR (40) has a second viewing operation (VO2) associated with it for mapping an input model data structure, typically but not necessarily the FIMDS, to image definition data defining a second image for display in the 2VOR (2VOR-SI), providing an alternate view of the FIMDS that is different from that provided by the VO1 associated with the 1VOR. In response to the request signal data, a composite viewing operation, composed from the functions of the VO1 and the VO2, maps the FIMDS to image definition data defining a composite image for display in the composite viewing operation region substantially at the same time as the first image is being displayed in the display area. This gives the perception to the machine user of applying composed viewing operations to information presented in the original image.

Abstract: A video on demand computer system includes a plurality of storage media each storing a plurality of videos. The storage media are disks attached to a computer system. The computer system plays the videos on demand by reading out the videos from the disks as data steams to play selected ones of the videos for users responsive to received user performance requests. The computer system is programmed to monitor the numbers of videos being performed for each of the disks. Based on the monitoring function performed by the computer system, the computer system performs a load balancing function by transferring the performance of a video in progress from one of the disks to another disk having a copy of the video in progress. The computer system periodically performs a reassignment function to transfer videos between the disks to optimize load balancing based on the user performance requests for each of the videos. There are two phases to the load balancing performed by the computer system; a static phase and a dynamic phase. In the static phase, videos are assigned to memory and disks, and in the dynamic phase there is provided a scheme for playing videos with minimal and balanced loads on the disks. The static phase supports the dynamic phase which insures optimal real-time operation of the system. Dynamic phase load balancing is accomplished by a process of baton passing.
