Abstract: In a system using a microprocessor including a cache
memory, a specific memory cell row including at least one row
of memory cells is provided to a cache memory cell array of the
cache memory so as to be used as a write back buffer. When
data is to be saved in the specific memory cell row (write back
buffer), the memory cells aligned in one row in the cache
memory cell array are selected by an arbitrary word line, and
all the data to be saved are simultaneously written in the
specific memory cell row (write back buffer) through bit line
pairs in a batch. Therefore, since the data to be saved can be
written in the specific memory cell row (write back buffer)
without using a data bus, the number of accesses to be made to
the cache memory can be decreased. As a result, the throughput
can be improved and the power consumption of the microprocessor
can be decreased. In addition, since the write back buffer is
constituted by the specific memory cell row, the chip area can
be decreased.

Abstract: A technique and apparatus for providing reciprocating hydroenhancement
includes a pair of fabric spools with a hydroenhancement process disposed
therebetween. The hydroenhancement process is configured to impart a
minimal amount of hydroenhancement to the fabric passing therethrough and
may comprise only a single vacuum roll and associated single hydroenhancement
jet (other arrangements may use two or three of vacuum rolls and jets in
order to provide controllable "front side" and "back side" treatments on a per
pass basis). The fabric to be treated is loaded onto a first spool, passes
through the hydroenhancement process and is thereafter taken up on the
second spool. Once the entire length of fabric has been treated and loaded
onto the second spool the process is reversed; the fabric is unwound from the
second spool, treated a second time and re-loaded onto the first spool. The
process is reversed once again, and a second "forward" treatment is imparted
to the fabric. This "back and forth" (i.e., "reciprocating") hydroenhancement
process is continued until the desired degree of hydroenhancement has been
achieved. Measuring units (such as a permeability measuring system) may be
used to evaluate the hydroenhancement on each pass to control various
process parameters, as well as to determine when to stop the process.

Abstract: In the system of the invention the adjunct device is connected to the switching
system over two connections. The first connection is a voice channel consisting of an
analog line capable of transmitting voice but not call data such as called party number,
calling party number or the like. The second connection is a data connection via an
Ethernet channel between the switch and adjunct that transmits call data but is
incapable of transmitting voice. The call data is logically associated with the voice
call at both the adjunct and switching system. As a result, transaction data related to a
voice call can be forwarded to an agent station or other terminal when the voice call is
transferred from the adjunct to the agent station. This system eliminates the need to
recreate the transaction data when a call is transferred while using inexpensive analog
connections for the voice call.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a wide-band, low-loss,
submarine optical cable excellent in productivity,
an optical fiber unit employed in the submarine optical cable,
and a method of making the optical fiber unit. The optical
fiber unit employed in the submarine optical cable comprises
a loose structure in which one or more coated optical fibers
are accommodated together with a soft resin in a space formed
within a plastic support. In particular, one or more
compression members are embedded in the plastic support
along the space accommodating the coated optical fibers.
The compression members closely in contact with the plastic
support prevents the shrinkage of the plastic support from
occurring due to temperature changes before forming a cable
utilizing the optical fiber unit. Preventing the shrinkage
of the plastic support from occurring before forming the
cable suppresses the increase in surplus length ratio of
the accommodated coated optical fibers, thereby effectively
restraining the transmission loss of the submarine optical
cable from increasing due to the increase in surplus length
ratio.

IPC: C23C10/30
Filed: 1999-02-03
Abstract: The invention is a method for repairing a protectively coated, locally damaged
turbomachinery vane without removing the vane from its parent turbomachinery module.
The method includes applying a diffusible coating precursor to the damaged region of the
vane and diffusing the coating precursor into the vane in the presence of a nonreactive
atmosphere. The nonreactive atmosphere is confined to a chamber that contains the
damaged vane, the chamber being bounded in part by the turbomachinery module itself.
A conventional stress relief machine is used to heat only the damaged region of the vane
to a temperature sufficient to promote diffusion of the precursor into the vane. The
method uses equipment and supplies that are routinely available or easily fabricated from
common, inexpensive materials. Use of the method avoids the expense and delay of
removing the vane from its parent module.

Abstract: Video data indicating a scene of a surveillance area is
produced by a surveillance camera and is compressed to high-compressed
video data and low-compressed video data. The low-compressed
video data having a large data volume is stored in
a storing unit, and the high-compressed video data having a
small data volume is transmitted to a surveillance apparatus
through a communication line at high speed. Also, in cases
where the occurrence of an unusual condition is detected by a
detector, an unusual condition detecting signal is transmitted
to the surveillance apparatus. In the surveillance apparatus,
the high-compressed video data is expanded, and a low-definition
scene image of the surveillance area is displayed
as a real time image. When the unusual condition detecting
signal is received, the signal is displayed, and a watchman
can notice the occurrence of the unusual condition. Because
the watchman desires to view a scene image at high definition,
the low-compressed video data stored in the storing unit is
transmitted to the surveillance apparatus in response to a
watchman's request, and a high-definition scene image of the
surveillance area is displayed as a past-time image.
Therefore, the watchman can precisely observe the unusual
condition of the surveillance area.

noise. Upon activation of the network mute feature, a voice path interconnecting the
mobile unit to a party served by the public switched telephone network (PSTN) is

generator so that the PSTN party hears unobtrusive background noise indicating that
the mobile user is still "on the line" and can hear transmissions by the party. The
PSTN party, however, cannot hear noises associated with mobile user's environment
or wireless transmission while the network mute feature is activated. Advantageously,
the network mute feature enhances the ability of mobile users to participate in calls in
which the quality of transmission (e.g., a conference call) is important.
