Abstract: A communication device locates a wireless service provider in a multi-service provider environment by tuning to a first frequency band and receiving a geographic identifier from the service provider operating in the first frequency band. The received geographic identifier is compared to a listing of stored geographic identifiers in order to attempt to locate a matching stored geographic identifier. Each of the stored geographic identifiers are associated with a desirable frequency band having a desirable service provider. If comparing the received geographic identifier with the matching stored geographic identifiers does not produce a match, frequency bands are examined until a second frequency band having a desirable service provider is located. The listing of stored geographic identifiers is then updated so that the second frequency band is associated with the received geographic identifier.

Abstract: A multiprocessor computer system has data processors and a main memory coupled to a system controller. Each data processor has a cache memory. Each cache memory has a cache controller with two ports for receiving access requests. A first port receives access requests from the associated data processor and a second port receives access requests from the system controller. All cache memory access requests include an address value; access requests from the system controller also include a mode flag. A comparator in the cache controller processes the address value in each access request and generates a hit/miss signal indicating whether the data block corresponding to the address value is stored in the cache memory. The cache controller has two modes of operation, including a first standard mode of operation in which read/write access to the cache memory is preceded by generation of the hit/miss signal by the comparator, and a second accelerated mode of operation in which read/write access to the cache memory is initiated without waiting for the comparator to process the access request's address value. The first mode of operation is used for all access requests by the data processor and for system controller access requests when the mode flag has a first value. The second mode of operation is used for the system controller access requests when the mode flag has a second value distinct from the first value.

Abstract: Disclosed is an image forming system in which a PDL controller develops a raster image from entered PDL image data and sends a number Pr of items of prepared raster image data to a copier together with the raster image data and the number of copies of images to be formed. On the basis of the raster image data received, the copier forms images on recording paper, with the number of images being equivalent to the number of copies to be formed. The copier compares a number Pf of sheets of recording paper supplied to an image forming unit with the number Pr at a predetermined timing. If Pr > Pf holds true, then the copier supplies a new sheet of recording paper to continue a continuous printing operation. Otherwise, the copier halts the supply of recording paper, stops the continuous printing operation and so notifies the PDL controller.

Abstract: A photographic element, is disclosed which includes a support and at least three silver halide emulsion layers, that records exposure information. The exposure information is recorded in three image-recording units and wherein the spectral sensitivities of said image-recording units are chosen such that the average color error,            ΔE*     ¯             ab , is less than or equal to 3.1.            ΔE*     ¯             ab  is computed for a specified set of test colors of known spectral reflectance, and the light source is specified as D 65 .            ΔE*     ¯             ab  is the average CIE 1976 (L*a*b*) ΔE* ab  between the CIE 1976 (L*a*b*)-space coordinates of said test colors and the CIE 1976 (L*a*b*)-space coordinates corresponding to transformed exposure signals. The transformed exposure signals are formed by applying an exposure-space matrix to the exposure signals derived from the photographic element to transform the derived exposure signals to exposure signals corresponding to the color-matching functions of the CCIR Recommendation 709 primary set. Theexposure-space matrix is derived so as to minimize       
 and noise-gain factor, Ψ, defined as the sum of the square roots of the sum of the squares of each row of the elements in the exposure space matrix is less than or equal to 6.5.

Abstract: The present invention relates to handling of a sheet formed original to be scanned in an image scanner. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the original is scanned by a trilinear CCD array, i.e. the original is scanned line by line, three lines at the time, one line for each color. Thus, at a specific time "only" the area of the original that is scanned by the trilinear CCD array at that time has to be positioned in focus of the imaging means of the image scanner while the remaining part of the original may be positioned anywhere and may adopt any suitable form. Thus, there is no need for all parts of the original to be kept flat and planar as required in known flat bed scanners. According to the present invention, the original is kept flat and straight along a line to be scanned by imparting a substantially cylindrical shape, such as a circular cylindrical shape, to at least part of the original. The original is scanned along lines that are substantially parallel to the generatrix of the cylindrical part of the original. Thus, the fact that all parts of the original are not scanned simultaneously is exploited to simplify the positioning of the original in the image scanner compared to known methods and image scanners.  <IMAGE>

Abstract: The transmission method involves allowing COFDM modulated radio signals to be transmitted via a satellite system, in which the radio signal is subjected to a delay at the satellite. The sum of the satellite delay and the overall signal propagation time, between a ground transmitter and the satellite, and the satellite and a ground receiver, is equal to a constant time offset. The received signal may be delayed via a controlled delay device (20) at each satellite, in response to a control signal from a control device (40), and dependent on the distance from the uplink station and the satellite, and the distance of the satellite from a fixed reference point on the ground.

Abstract: A clock delay circuit for generating a delay for a sense amplifier release signal in an integrated circuit semiconductor memory device is disclosed. Rather than utilize traditional programmable capacitors that must be trimmed on a die by die basis, the novel clock delay circuit disclosed utilizes a small ROM, EPROM, EEPROM or FLASH array coupled to a bit line emulator to provide a clock delay matched to the larger main array. The size of the small memory array is on the order of 5 to 10 bit lines by 5 to 10 word lines. One cell within the small array is fixed to be continuously selected. The selected cell is coupled to the clock delay node along with the bit line emulator. The bit line emulator models the capacitance of the actual bit line used in the main array. However, the circuit is constructed so that a much larger signal is generated by the delay circuit such that sense amplifiers detect the correct signal. The CMOS based clock delay circuit uses the emulated array to generate a delta or margin that accurately tracks the delays within the main array with variations in temperature, supply voltage and process.

Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing a single crystal of silicon includes a crucible, a heater (1), electrodes (2), and a magnet. In addition to a plurality of heat generating portions (4) and two main electrode portions, the heater has two or more auxiliary electrode portions (3). Two or more heater support members having an insulating property are further provided so as to support the heater through the auxiliary electrode portions. The number of heat generating portions which may be present between a heater support member and an electrode and between heater support members if adjacent to each other is equal to or less than 4. Each generating portion of the heater has a thickness of 25 mm or more. This structure makes it possible to produce a single crystal of silicon without causing breakage of a heater, even if a large electric current flows through the heater, even if a magnetic field of a high intensity is applied to a silicon melt in the crucible, and even if the heater has a large diameter.
