Abstract: The invention provides an improved method and apparatus for creating a snapshot of a file system. In a first aspect of the invention, a 'copy-on-write' mechanism is used. An effective snapshot mechanism must be efficient both in its use of storage space and in the time needed to create it because file systems are often large. The snapshot uses the same blocks as the active file system until the active file system is modified. Whenever a modification occurs, the modified data is copied to a new block and the old data is saved (henceforth called 'copy-on-write'. In this way, the snapshot only uses space where it differs from the active file system, and the amount of work required to create the snapshot is small. In a second aspect of the invention, a record of which blocks are being used by the snapshot is included in the snapshot itself, allowing effectively instantaneous snapshot creation and deletion.

Abstract: The method involves adapting the distribution of radio resources in the base station in a mobile radio cell for improving the interference situation at the location of the mobile terminal.  The signal received from the mobile station and information for estimating the channel between the mobile terminal and base station are evaluated to determine the radios sources forming the basis of the signal and the intensities of the radio sources. The requesting mobile terminal sends out the signal currently present at the receiver of the mobile terminal. The sent signal represents the interference situation at the location of the mobile terminal. The signal is sent together with the information for estimating the channel between the mobile terminal and base station so that the base station receives raw data at the location of the mobile terminal. An Independent claim is included for the radio resource administration system in a mobile radio cell.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de correction d'écran et un dispositif d'imagerie utilisés, de préférence, par exemple, dans une caméra numérique. Le comptage horizontal et vertical est transmis à un bloc (4) de calcul à distance d'un générateur de signaux (SG) (1). La distance jusqu'à la position centrale de l'axe optique est calculée à l'aide d'informations entrées dans un terminal (5X, 5Y). La distance d calculée est transmise à un convertisseur (conv) (6). La valeur de la distance convertie en fonction de l'information sur le nombre de pixels d'un dispositif d'imagerie CCD (3) d'un terminal (7) est transmise à une table de recherche (LUT) (8). Un coefficient de correction en fonction de la distance jusqu'à la position du centre de l'axe optique, par exemple, est extrait.

Abstract: Schemes to time-align transmissions from multiple base stations to a terminal. To achieve time-alignment, differences between the arrival times of transmissions from the base stations, as observed at the terminal, are determined and provided to the system and used to adjust the timing at the base stations such that terminal-specific radio frames arrive at the terminal within a particular time window. In one scheme, a time difference between two base stations is partitioned into a frame-level time difference and a chip-level time difference. Whenever requested to perform and report time difference measurements, the terminal measures the chip-level timing for each candidate base station relative to a reference base station. Additionally, the terminal also measures the frame-level timing and includes this information in the time difference measurement only if required. Otherwise, the terminal sets the frame-level part to a predetermined value (e.g., zero).

Abstract: Stepped rotary motion is imparted to the rotor (12) of a stepping motor by alternately driving at least first and second coils (A, B) which interact with a plurality of magnetic poles (18, 20) on the rotor (12). When each of the coils (A, B) transitions from a driven to a non-driven state, the continued motion of the rotor causes a back electro-motive force to be generated in the coil (A, B). The electro-motive forces produced by the coils (A, B) are rectified, integrated, and then compared with a threshold to determine if a motor stall condition exists.
