Inventor: FRAZIER HOWARD M
IPC: H04L29/08

Abstract: CSMA/CD is used to implement flow control in a full-duplex
Ethernet network in a lossless fashion. Uniquely identifiable
flow control transmit on/off ("XON/XOFF") messages are transmitted,
preferably during IPG, by a receiving station about to
be congested to the transmitting station whose data output is
to be controlled. The transmitting station physical layer
receives and decodes these messages. If XOFF is recognized,
the transmitting station continuously asserts CRS to its MAC
layer at the MII, regardless of the prior CRS current state.
CRS is continuously asserted until the receiving station
transmits an XON flow control signal, indicating its ability
to accept further data. During CRS assertion, the transmitting
station defers transmission, e.g., is flow controlled.
The MAC layer is slightly modified (but is still backward
compatible with half-duplex networks) to provide separate
transmit deferral receive data frame mechanisms using separate
and independent input status signals, namely CRS and RX_DV.
CRS provides a carrierSense signal used for deferral within
the MAC transmit process, and RX_DV provides a
receive_carrierSense signal that frames data within the MAC
receive process. As long as CRS remains asserted, the transmitting
station defers transmission, thereby implementing flow
control. In addition to slight MAC layer modification, the
present invention slightly modified the physical layer, MII
interface and reconciliation sublayer.

Abstract: An image processing device for detecting an object whose position and
orientation are unknown and for recognizing three dimensional position and/or
orientation of the object. A model pattern used for a pattern matching is stored and
subject to N geometrical transformations. After initial setting of an index i that
specifies the i-th geometrical transformation (S2), the i-th transformed model pattern is
prepared (S3), and, using this pattern, a pattern matching is performed (S4). A local
maximum point having a similarity equal to or higher than a preset value is searched
for. The image coordinate of such a point, if any, is extracted (S5) and stored together
with information on a three dimensional relative orientation used for the preparation of
the transformed model pattern concerned. Based on the information on the three
dimensional relative orientation corresponding to the pattern having the best similarity,
the three dimensional position and/or orientation is recognized.

Abstract: A razor head (2) has mutually spaced blade members (7) with straight front cutting
edges (8) which are mutually parallel and lie in a cutting plane (12). The blade
members (7) are curved. Imaginary median surfaces (16) of the blade members (7) are
continuously curved in the same sense away from the cutting plane (12), from the
cutting edges (8) toward the rear edges. The handle (1) has a pair of fork arms (6), the
distal ends of which are connected to the head at positions adjacent the respective ends
of the head (2). Each fork arm (6) has a groove (49) allowing pivoting of the distal end
about a pivot axis parallel to the head axis, the grooves (49) being mutually aligned on
the same side of the forked end portion (4) of the handle (1). Each groove (49) is filled
with a resiliently deformable material (54) which is deformed when a pivoting force is
applied to the razor head (2) during shaving and which restores the razor head (2) to a
normal position when the force is removed. The head (2) has undercut apertures (42) in
rear abutment surfaces (43), and the distal ends of the fork arms (6) have detent
elements (44) projecting forwardly from front abutment surfaces (46). The front and
rear abutment surfaces (46,43) abut against one another and the detent elements (44)
engage in the undercut apertures (42) in such a manner that the head (2) is fixed relative
to the distal ends of the fork arms (6), the distal ends being movable toward one another
to disengage the detent elements (44) from the undercut apertures (42) and allow the
head (2) to be removed from the handle (1).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for evaluating the IV characteristics of devices where negative resistance behavior is observed. More particularly the present invention relates to a method and system for evaluating accurately the electrical overstress or ESD performance of semiconductor devices during the voltage transition region (positive to negative). The method comprises applying a signal comprising at least two amplitudes within the pulse. By suitably adjusting the amplitude of the first level, such that it is high enough to trigger the device-under-test, and subsequently applying one or more levels within the same signal while keeping the device-under-test in the on-state, the device IV characteristics can be comprehensively extracted, without being limited by the system loadline. The method only requires a rectangular pulse testing set-up, also known as transmission line measurement set-up, with a single loadline characteristic to determine a portion or the complete ESD characteristic of the device-under test.

Abstract: Die vorliegende Anmeldung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Anwendung zum Aufbau einer VoIP-Verbindung über ein paketvermittelndes Netzwerk (LAN) zwischen einem Router eines ersten Endgerätes und einem Router eines zweiten Endgerätes, wobei beide Endgeräte an einem leitungsvermittelnden Kommunikationsnetz angeschlossen sind. 
     Gewöhnlich wird eine VoIP-Verbindung aufgebaut, indem vom ersten Endgerät aus zum zweiten Endgerät ein Sprachanruf getätigt wird, damit der dortige Benutzer manuell über den Router eine Internetverbindung herstellt. Diese herkömmliche Vorgehensweise erfordert einen entstprechenden Zeitverbrauch, bis die VoIP-Verbindung steht. Des Weiteren fallen entsprechende Telefonkosten an. 
     Gemäss der Anmeldung wird vom ersten Endgerät über das leitungsvermittelnde Telekommunikationsnetzwerk dem zweiten Endgerät eine Routeraktivierungsaufforderung per Datenanruf oder SMS gesendet, woraufhin der mit dem zweiten Endgerät in Verbindung stehende Router eine Einwahl in das paketvermittelnde Netzwerk LAN vornimmt. Danach wird von dem besagten Router über das zugeordnete zweite Endgerät via Telekommunikationsnetz zum ersten Endgerät für dessen Router eine für die VoIP-Verbindung vorgesehene IP-Adresse oder eine andere geeignete Kennung zum Aufbau der VoIPVerbindung gesendet, woraufhin die Verbindung der beiden Endgeräten über das Telekommunikationsnetzwerk getrennt werden kann, um über die beiden Router eine VoIP-Verbindung für die beiden Endgeräte bereitzustellen. 
     Der Vorteil der anmeldungsgemässen Lösung liegt insbesondere darin, das manueller Eingriff eines Gesprächspartners zur Aktivierung seines Routers nicht mehr erforderlich ist.
