Title: Quiescent current frequency and magnitude analysis for CMOS IC fault indication
Inventor: SAKAGUCHI KAZUHIRO
IPC: G01R31/30
Filed: 1997-02-05
Abstract: Quick detection of CMOS integrated circuit troubles with a simple system is realized. A tester repeatedly applies a test pattern to a CMOS integrated circuit under test, and a power supply unit supplies current through a current detection unit to the CMOS integrated circuit. The current detection unit outputs a detection signal, which is coupled through an amplifier to a power spectrum analyzing unit to derive its power spectrum. When the CMOS integrated circuit has a trouble, a quiescent supply current which is set apart from the transistor switching current is caused in specific sub-patterns in the test pattern for every (NT+T0) seconds. A checking unit detects the power of the detection signal in the neighborhood of 1/(NT+T0) [Hz] and thus checks for a quiescent current, i.e., checks for a trouble in the CMOS integrated circuit under test.

Title: Wireless audio and video conferencing and telephony
Inventor: BURKE TIMOTHY JOHN
IPC: H04N7/15
Filed: 1997-11-26
Abstract: A wireless video access apparatus 100 and wireless videophone 120 provide audio and video teleconferencing and telephony via a communication channel 103 to network 140 such as a PSTN or ISDN. A signal received by the network interface 210 from the network 140 is converted into an audio signal and a baseband video signal. The audio and video signals are wireline or RF transmitted to one or more video displays 225 or televisions. Videophone 120 receives the video signal from video transponder 115 and the audio signal from wireless base station 110. A video camera or camcorder 230 generates an outgoing video signal and audio signal. The processor 190 performs compression, decompression and protocol encoding and decoding. The telephone 295 or wireless videophone 120 may be used for call set-up or audio input and output. The video camera output may be displayed on the video displays 225 or wireless videophone in a loop-back mode of operation.

Title: Mapping web server objects to TCP/IP ports
Inventor: GUENTHNER TIMOTHY JOHN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1998-11-11
Abstract: A method of routing in a computer network having a pool of servers S1-S4 capable of servicing requests for access to a set of server resource objects OBJ1-OBJ5'. The set of server resource objects are distributed in a non-homogeneous manner across the server pool. According to the method, each incoming client request for access to a specified server resource object is targeted to a router 46 having an associated port space identifying a plurality of ports. Based on the port on which an incoming client request is received, the request is mapped to one of the server resource objects. The router then selects the "best provider" and redirects or forwards the request to that server. The routing and redirection is based upon the port for the incoming request.

Title: Actuator arrangement for rotating a cam ring of a rotary fuel pump
Inventor: CONNELLY LOUISE ANN
IPC: F02D1/16
Filed: 1999-05-29
Abstract: A rotary fuel pump for an internal combustion engine has an actuator arrangement comprising a cam 44 and a cam follower 42 which uses leverage to impart angular movement to a rotatable annular scroll plate (10, Fig 1), or cam ring, to limit the outward movement of a reciprocating plunger in a bore to control the amount of fuel delivered to the engine. The linearly movable cam 44 imparts angular movement on a pivoted cam follower 42 which acts on a pivoted lever 32 to move a scroll plate carriage 30 which rotates the scroll plate. Such an actuator arrangement enables a common fuel pump housing type to be used for both clockwise and anticlockwise rotating pumps.

Patent GB-2355085-A (GB)
Title: Translating a source operation to a target operation
Inventor: ZAMMIT VINCENT
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 1999-10-05
Abstract: A method is provided for translating a source operation to a target operation. The source operation acts on one or more source operands, each comprising a binary integer of a first bit-width. The target operation is required to be evaluated by a processor, such as a computer, which performs integer operations on binary integers of a second bit-width which is greater than the first bit-width. The source operation 1 is translated to a target operation 2 having at least one target operand. Steps 3 and 5 identify whether the value of unused bits of the or each target operand affects the value of the target operation and whether the target operand or any of the target operands is capable of having one or more unused bits of inappropriate value. If so, a correcting operation is added 6 to the target operation for correcting the value of each of the bits of inappropriate value before performing the target operation.

Title: Determining a quality of a frequency reuse plan in a communication system
Inventor: HOPKINSON JONATHAN NEIL
IPC: H04W16/18
Filed: 1999-11-10
Abstract: A communication system (201) implements an intelligent optimization system (IOS) block (200) to improve system quality in accordance with the invention. Measurement reports performed by a mobile station (222) are transferred to the IOS block (200) via E1 links (212) as is configuration information in the form of C/I values from an operations and maintenance center (OMC 215). This information is used by the IOS block (200) to determine a frequency reuse plan using at least one penalty value. The frequency reuse plan has associated therewith a quality factor (QOS) related to a proportion of estimated communication system traffic which is expected to experience poor quality due to the determined frequency reuse plan. If the frequency reuse plan is acceptable, the IOS block (200) passes relevant information to the OMC (215) which implements the plan.
