Abstract: Provided are methods, apparatus, and computer programs for self-generating device names for communications devices using processes running on the device. The device names are then used to enable the devices to be identified during network communications. This avoids the configuration overhead inherent in requiring unique device names to be allocated by a central naming authority. Uniqueness of device names is achieved by a class-based naming convention in which class names are associated with device types and unique device identifiers are allocated for devices within a class. The device identifiers of one class may have a very different format from device identifiers in other classes, and processes are provided for interpreting the different formats of device identifier to identify individual devices. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention provides a decoding apparatus and control method therefor capable of eliminating visual flaws between frames even if several frames cannot be decoded. The first data is read out (S201), and decoding of the frame data starts (S202). During decoding processing, whether the processing time exceeds a predetermined limit time of decoding processing assigned to the packet is monitored (S204). If decoding processing does not end within the predetermined limit time, only decoded data are written in a memory (S213). This can maintain image continuity. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention relates to a one step coaxial connector for an annular corrugated coaxial cable. The components of the connector include an outer conductor clamping back nut, a collet and a body. The collet (1) enhances electrical performance by providing a full 360 degree contact with the outer conductor. In addition, an O-ring is used to provide a seal between the back nut and outer conductor of the cable.   When the backnut (2) is screwed into the body (5), the collet (1) is forced further into the interior portion (11) of the connector body (5). The resilient fingers of the (1) collet are forced to close radially around the first corrugation groove (3) of the cable's outer conductor. In addition, an O ring (4), that initially resides in a cavity (12) created by the collet (1) and the back nut (2), is forced into a corrugation groove of the cable's outer conductor. A bore (6) on the back nut (2) provides the proper diameter to compress the O-ring (4) to provide a tight seal. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A passively mode-locked optically pumped semiconductor vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser (OPS-EXSEL) is disclosed. The laser is mode locked by a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) which forms part of an external cavity. Both the beam-quality limitations of edge-emitting lasers, and the power restrictions of electrically pumped surface-emitting lasers are overcome. The laser uses a semiconductor wafer in which a stack of quantum wells is grown adjacent to a single Bragg-mirror structure. Light from one or more multi-mode high-power diode lasers is focused onto the face of the wafer and pumps the wells by absorption in the barrier regions. The area of the laser mode on the active mirror can be about 10<4 >times larger than the mode area on the facet of an edge-emitting laser, offering scope for the generation of high average power and large pulse energy. At the same time the external cavity enforces fundamental mode operation in a circular, near-diffraction-limited beam. With the laser, sub-picosecond pulse durations are achievable by eliminating coupled cavity effects and by external pulse compression. Band-gap engineering can be used to shape the pulses, or even integrate gain and saturable absorption within the same wafer. Thus, rugged, efficient pulsed laser sources with high average power in a nearly diffraction-limited beam, sub-picosecond pulse durations and multi-GHz repetition rates, which operate in a broad range of wavelengths accessible by bandgap engineering are made possible.

Abstract: A method and system for synchronizing a first database with a second database is disclosed. A client containing a first version of a database transmits a first synchronization message from the client to the server. The message contains MAPITEM records from a previous synchronization process, UPDATES for the present synchronization process, a current synchronization time and a last synchronization time. A second version of the database within a server is updated responsive to the first synchronization message. The server transmits a second synchronization message to the client containing UPDATES to be performed at the client, the RESULTS of the updates requested by the client, and the received current synchronization time from the first synchronization message. The client updates the first database, removes the previously transmitted MAPITEMs and stores the MAPITEM records for the present synchronization process for transmission during a next synchronization process.
