Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for enabling prepaid service in a packet-based communications system, in particular in an All-IP network which comprises one or more subscriber terminals. At least one subscriber database stores subscriber information including identification data of one or more server means, and the at least one server means stores prepaid accounts for subscribers. When a subscriber terminal is initiating the establishment of a connection to another network entity, the server means is adapted to transmit a subscriber-prepaid-account related value informing a control means on an available charge threshold value for the connection to be established.

Abstract: A data transfer technique between a source port and a destination port of a transfer controller with plural ports. In response to a data transfer request (401), the transfer controller queries the destination port to determine if it can receive data of a predetermined size (402). If the destination port is not capable of receiving data, the transfer controller waits until said destination port is capable of receiving data (412). If the destination port is capable of receiving data, the destination port allocates a write reservation station to the data (403). Then the transfer controller reads data of the predetermined size from the source port (404) and transfers this read data to the destination port (405). The destination port forwards this data to an attached application unit, which may be memory or a peripheral, and then disallocates the write reservation station freeing space for further data transfer (406). This write driven process permits the transfer controller hub to service other data transfers from a fast source without being blocked by a slow destination.

Abstract: Method for drying laundry and a machine able to implement such a method, which provides for the use of only one electric resistance for heating the air utilized for drying purposes. According to the invention, during the starting phase of the drying process, i.e. the initial stage of the air heating, said resistance is applied continuously for exploiting its maximum power and quickly reach a predetermined temperature of the drying air. Following the attainment of said predetermined temperature, a special control circuit causes said resistance to be applied in a shuttered or modulated way, i.e. by alternating application phases to non-application phases within repetitive reference periods, in order to manage the power of the resistance in its steady-state condition for obtaining a substantial constancy of the air temperature.

Abstract: The invention relates to a switching device (300) having a plurality of line interface cards (LICs) (310), a plurality of egress LICs (320), a cross-bar (330) and a management card (340). The switching device (300) routes fixed sized cells of data across the cross-bar (330). The cells comprise fragments of variable length data packets. Each ingress LIC (312, 314, 316) is associated with a respective schedule or timetable (362, 364, 366) governing the transmission of cells by the ingress LIC. Similarly, each egress LIC (322, 324, 326) is also associated with a respective schedule or timetable (382, 384, 386) governing the reception of cells by said egress LIC. The schedules are in the form of a table whose entries are the identities of transmission queues corresponding to a respective egress LIC identification number (for ingress LICs) and ingress LICs from which to receive (egress LICs). Each ingress and egress LIC maintains a pointer into its associated schedule. At each cell transmit time, each ingress LIC transmits a cell from the queue identified by the pointer and each egress LIC will receive the cell from the ingress LIC identified in the entry referenced by the pointer. The pointers then move to the next location. Each schedule is circular in the sense that when moving the pointer from the last entry, its next position is the first entry. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An analog multiplier 11 raises a base reference voltage "Vref0" to the nth power so that a reference voltage "Vref1" is produced. Analog multipliers 12 and 13 sequentially raise the reference voltage "Vref1" to the nth power so that reference voltages "Vref2" and "Vref3" are produced. Switch groups 38-41 control the reference voltages "Vref0" to "Vref3", which are then sent to an analog multiplier 14 together with an input voltage "Vin". A comparator 14 sequentially compares a multiplication result "Vx" of the multiplier 14 with a voltage "Vout" outputted from a sensor circuit 2, so that a digital output value "Dout" is produced. The analog multiplier 14 is set as appropriate. <IMAGE>
