Abstract: A CDMA cellular radio-telephone system comprises a packet-switched communications network (202, 207, 201) that interconnects cells (base stations; 202) with each other and with the public telephone network (100). A unique combination of a static addressing plan that uses a different LAPD DLCI for each unidirectional virtual call path, direct cell (202)-to-cell and cell-to-call-processing unit control information exchanges, and packet-switching techniques that permit call traffic and control communications to share call paths and permit different call paths to share physical resources, is applied to call processing. This enables soft handoffs to be handled in a manner transparent to the parties to the call and without significant involvement of system control elements (134 and 261) whose involvement would adversely impact the system's call-handling capacity. It also enables soft handoffs to occur without change of the call processing unit that is handling the call, so that a single call processing unit continues to handle the call from start to finish through even multiple soft handoffs.

Abstract: A light-emitting element (32) emits a light beam onto a predetermined sensing position, and a reflected beam from an original (11) is received by a light-receiving element (33). The light-receiving element (33), which is a position sensitive detector for detecting a spot position of the reflected beam, releases a pair of currents that vary according to the spot position. A signal processing circuit (35) detects the presence or absence of the original (11) based on the ratio of the currents. The pair of currents released by the light-receiving element (33) fluctuate in response to changes in reflection factor due to the individual color of the original (11), while the ratio of the pair of currents does not fluctuate even if the reflection factor changes. Thus, detection accuracy is improved, and erroneous detection can be prevented in comparison with an arrangement wherein the presence or absence of the original (11) is detected by detecting and comparing the amount of light.

Abstract: A series of substations (RMU-RTU-1,...) which are in each case connected to at least one network operating means (NB1,...) for monitoring and control are connected to a central control unit (ZSE). A data bus (DB) of the control unit has coupling transformers (KU) which are connected to the earthed cable screen (KE) at the ends of cable paths (NK1,...) which are used for power transmission, and result in data being injected or output from the respective earth circuits (ES1,...). The control unit (ZSE) cyclically supplies a "group interrogation message" (GAT) into the data bus (DB). In each substation (RMU-RTU-1,...), this message triggers the transmission of a separate "response message" (AT1,...) to the control unit. Changes in the status (STI) of the connected network operating means (NB1,...) are entered therein. The group interrogation message (GAT) is passed on from substation to substation. The control unit (ZSE) can reconstruct the operating condition of the power supply network in series from the received response messages from all the substations. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention has application to the implementation of the DECT standard data ciphering algorithm which requires a lengthy procedure of key loading and logic operations during the stages of pre-ciphering and ciphering and requiring clocks operating at different frequencies. 
     This device performs parallel mode loading of the shift registers, with a ciphering keyword. It also calculates, in a first cycle, during the pre-ciphering, the values of the bits of each shift register that determine the value of the next shift in order to, in a second cycle, effect parallel mode shifting in these registers with a value equal to the sum of the two previous shift values. 
     During the ciphering process, the shifting is done in the registers, in parallel mode and in a single data clock cycle, with a value equivalent to the serial value obtained by the algorithm.

Abstract: In a system and method which can complete a call to a specific Inmarsat subscriber ship (e.g. 130), when a call arrives at a gateway switch (110), a test is made to determine if the called ship is in the gateway's local database (116). If it is, then a current region (101) code (871) is retrieved from the database and substituted for the dialed code for call processing. A call is then placed (via CES 1) to the ship. If the call can be completed, the call is processed normally. If the call cannot be completed because the ship cannot be located in the selected region (101), then the call is automatically retried (e.g. via CES 2) to each of the other regions (102), in a predetermined order. The local database in the gateway switch will be updated whenever a call is completed whether the call was originated or terminated at the mobile terminal.
