Abstract: A method for document administration within a data processing system which utilizes iconic representations. A bit image or graphic iconic representation is created for selected textual documents and stored as a bit image or graphic object at a selected memory location within the data processing system. A reference or pointer to the memory location of each iconic representation is then stored within a descriptive profile associated with each document. Thereafter, the textual document may be transferred to a user location where graphic or bit image objects may or may not be supported. Upon an examination of the descriptive profile, a subsequent user supporting graphic or image objects may elect to retrieve the iconic representation by utilizing the reference stored therein. By separately storing an iconic representation for each textual document, such documents may be freely interchanged throughout a distributed data processing system whether or not individual users within the system support graphic or image objects. In this manner, those users supporting graphic or image objects may utilize the textual reference stored within each descriptive profile to retrieve an iconic representation for local utilization.

Abstract: Method for producing pn-CdTe/CdS thin-film solar cells in which, on a transparent substrate in the form of inexpensive soda lime glass, a transparent TCO layer is deposited as a front contact, which layer is preferably provided with an ultra-thin indium layer which in turn is coated with the CdS layer, the substrate thus coated, up to the CdTe coating, being raised to a temperature between 480 DEG C and 520 DEG C, which is maintained during the subsequent rapid CdTe deposition according to the short-distance process using a preferred deposition rate from 5 to 15  mu m/min in an inert-gas atmosphere. The indium layer is dissolved during this deposition and produces the required n-doping of the CdS layer without an additional process step. In this manner it is possible to produce solar cells having a high efficiency in a cost- effective process suitable for mass production.

Abstract: A facility is provided for operating an asynchronous packet transmit bus (140) such that isochronous information packets may be transmitted from a source to a destination with a fixed, constant delay. The fixed, constant delay is achieved by employing a bandwidth management bus (145) and assigning to port modules (110) which contend for access to the transmit bus respective levels of priority, in which the highest level of priority is associated with isochronous information and in which lower levels of priority are associated with other types of information, such as asynchronous information. In addition, each port module which transmits isochronous information is assigned at least one time slot of each frame of time slots. In this way, a port module that needs to transmit isochronous information is granted access to the transmit bus during its assigned time slot if the module asserts such highest level of priority in response to its address being transmitted over the bandwidth management bus. If the module fails to assert such priority, then the time slot is marked for open contention, thereby allowing the other port modules to contend for access to the transmit bus during that time slot.
