Title: Dispositif et procede pour la transmission de signaux dans un systeme de communication
Inventor: KOTZIN MICHAEL D
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 1998-07-17
Granted: 2005-12-06
Abstract: Aux fins d'émission en diversité de type orthogonal, on utilise un séparateur de données (803) pour subdiviser l'information de voie (801) au moins en une première série de bits (802) et une seconde série de bits (804). Chaque série fait l'objet d'un étalement sur la base de son propre code de Walsh, pour transmission ultérieure à une station mobile via une fréquence porteuse prédéterminée. Quand le nombre de bits des première et seconde séries (802, 804) est faible, on utilise des codes de Walsh séparés afin de maintenir l'orthogonalité. Lorsque le nombre de bits des première et seconde séries (802, 804) est relativement élevé, on utilise le multiplexage temporel afin de maintenir l'orthogonalité. Un régisseur (809) contrôle à la fois la subdivision de l'information de voie et un dispositif d'entrelacement (308) pour améliorer encore les effets de l'émission en diversité. L'information de contrôle liée à la subdivision est transmise à la station mobile, de manière à permettre une reconstitution précise de l'information de voie avant le décodage.

Title: High side circuitry triac
Inventor: DUVE JEFF
IPC: G05F1/45
Filed: 2000-05-25
Granted: 2004-11-16
Abstract: Disclosed is circuitry which permits a thyristor to be triggered in quadrants II and III rather than triggering the thyristor in a high side configuration or quadrants I and IV as common in the prior art. The circuitry of the present invention uses an A/C line to trigger quadrant III of a thyristor and to charge a capacitor during the positive phase of the A/C cycle.      During the negative phase, the circuitry is designed to use the discharge of the capacitor to trigger quadrant II of the thyristor. Configuring the circuit in this manner permits a thyristor to be used without the need to use quadrant IV and its increased power requirements. Also disclosed is a method of triggering a thyristor using a power line to trigger quadrant III of the thyristor using the power line to charge a capacitor, and using the capacitor to trigger quadrant II of the thyristor.

Patent CA-2349662-C (CA)
Inventor: DEBACKER PHILIPPE LOUIS
IPC: G06F15/173
Filed: 1999-11-30
Granted: 2003-02-18
Abstract: A non-uniform memory access (NUMA) computer system includes at least two nod es coupled by a node interconnect, where at least one of the nodes includes a processor for servicing interrupts. The nodes are partitioned into external interrupt domains so that an external interrupt is always presented to a processor within the external interrupt domain in which the interrupt occurs . Although each external interrupt domain typically includes only a single nod e, interrupt channelling or interrupt funnelling may be implemented to route external interrupts across node boundaries for presentation to a processor. Once presented to a processor, interrupt handling software may then execute on any processor to service the external interrupt. Servicing external interrup ts is expedited by reducing the size of the interrupt handler polling chain as compared to prior art methods. In addition to external interrupts, the interrupt architecture of the present invention supports inter-processor interrupts (IPIs) by which any processor may interrupt itself or one or more  other processors in the NUMA computer system.
