Patent EP-1207642-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SRINIVASA PRASANNA G N
IPC: H04B10/275
Filed: 2001-10-09
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for terminating optical links
in an optical network based on performance requirements. The present invention
forces the termination of the received optical signals at each node only on the
protection ring and does not force termination on the working ring, unless
necessary to satisfy performance requirements. A signal on an end-to-end light
path on the working ring is terminated only when required by engineering rules,
such as signal-to-noise requirements. Specifically, the present invention does not
force terminate an end-to-end light path on the working ring at a given node (or on
a link between two nodes) unless the signal will fail to meet certain criteria, such as
a minimum optical signal-to-noise ratio, at the next node.

Title: Electric heating/warming fabric articles
Inventor: ROCK MOSHE
IPC: A41D31/02
Filed: 2001-10-26
Abstract: A fabric article (10) that generates heat upon application of electrical power is formed, for
example, by joining stitch and loop yarns to form a fabric prebody, with the loop yarn
overlaying the stitch yarn at a technical face and forming loops at a technical back (14) of the
fabric prebody. An electrical resistance heating element (18), e.g., in the form of a conductive
yarn, is incorporated into the fabric prebody at symmetrical and/or asymmetrical spaced-apart
intervals as the stitch yarn, the electrical resistance heating elements extending between
opposite edge regions (20,21) of the fabric and conductor elements, e.g. located along edge regions,
connect the electrical resistance heating elements to a source of electrical power (52). The
technical face and/or the technical back of the fabric body may have fleece formed by
finishing in a manner to avoid damage to electrical conductance of the electrical resistance
heating elements. Preferably, the conductive yarn has a core of insulating material, an
electrical resistance-heating element about the core, and a sheath material surrounding the
electrical resistance heating element and core.

Abstract: A network device (NWE) for a digital transmission network
with synchronous digital hierarchy receives data steams
containing frames with data packets mapped therein and
addressed by a phase reference identifier. Internally, the
network device has redundant transfer paths which
potentially cause different delay. The network element
compensates for that delay by adjusting the phase reference
identifier allocated to a respective data packet by a
predetermined phase correcting value, leading in the phase,
which corresponds to a maximum expected delay for transfer
of the data packets on internal transfer paths, and by
buffering the data packet by a buffering time such that its
buffering time and its delay actually needed for passing
through the network device in total correspond to the
maximum expected delay taken into account by the phase
adjustment.

Abstract: An integrated, fully automated video production system provides a video director with total control over all video production devices used to produce and broadcast a show. The video production system includes a processing unit that communicates with one or more video production devices and supports production automation. A video director defines a set of video production commands or instructions ("transition macro") to be executed by the processing unit, and then, by activating a control button displayed by the processing unit, the video director instructs the processing unit to execute the transition macro. The processing unit also records the show or elements from the show following its production. The show or elements can be recalled for subsequent broadcasts. An Internet interface supports live or on-demand requests for content from the video production. An online user can select specific elements and reorganize the elements to personalize a broadcast. The processing unit receives and executes the online request to continuously stream or download the content to the user.

Abstract: A self-organizing network and method of operation includes a plurality of kindred nodes and, in some applications, a hub node communicating data packets from source nodes to destination nodes remote from the source nodes. Each data packet includes information (e.g. priority, number of hops, etc.) and packet handling commands. A source node receives data packets with the information and packet handling commands and adjusts its operation (e.g. transmitting power, frequency, bandwidth, etc.) in a way that allows the network to be self-organizing, self-configuring, and self-healing so that data packets are retransmitted from source nodes to destination nodes with a minimum of hops and delay.

Abstract: Surface covering components that include a topcoat layer with different gloss levels in
various regions on the top coat layer, and methods of manufacturing such surface covering
components, are disclosed. The surface covering components include a coating layer that
includes regions that have a relatively higher gloss, and regions with a relatively lower gloss.
The differential gloss is provided by coating a substrate with a UV-curable coating composition,
subjecting a first region of the surface coating to polymerization under a first set of conditions,
and subjecting a second region of the surface coating to polymerization under a second set of
conditions. The UV-curable coating compositions include UV-curable components and one or
more flatting agents. The different polymerization conditions involve applying various
photoinitiators, thermal initiators and/or cure altering agents to some regions of the coated
substrate, and not applying these components to other regions of the substrate. The components
are applied in the form of a pattern. Regions in contact with these components are cured at
different rates in one step or in different steps, for example, sequential UV and EB irradiation or
UV irradiation at different wavelengths and/or exposure times. The resulting surface coverings
and surface covering substrates have differential gloss in register with the printed and/or sprayed
patterns.

Abstract: A positioning apparatus and method for accurately
determining a current position of a mobile station. The
current position of the mobile station is determined
utilizing radio waves arriving from a plurality of base
stations installed in a communication area. For calculating

station, error correction processing is performed using a
predetermined error correction coefficient previously
calculated by measuring a radio wave propagation situation
around each base station to estimate a propagation range of a
direct wave within incoming radio waves. The current
position of the mobile station is determined using the
estimated propagation range and the positions of the
respective base station.

Abstract: To address the need for a communication infrastructure and method to
speed uplink data setup, the present invention provides for the assignment of
uplink packet data resources by basestation transceiver systems (BTSs)
(106) without the need to communicate with any packet control unit (PCUs)
(110) first. The present invention accomplishes this by reserving packet data
resources before they are needed or requested and providing them to BTSs
(106) for assignment. Thus, BTS-PCU communication occurs in the period
before an uplink connection is needed and after uplink data is established,
effectively eliminating the BTS-PCU delay from uplink data setup. Moreover,
the present invention provides for the transmission of transmit allowance
messages before an uplink request is made by the communication unit (102),
further reducing uplink data setup time.
