Abstract: A current position calculation system is provided for adequately correcting a distance factor which is used for obtaining a travelled distance by utilizing various information at the time when a vehicle turns left or right. According to an output from a headed direction detecting device, an output from a travelled distance calculating device and road data of a road map, at the time when the vehicle turns left or right from a first road to a second road, there is obtained a distance error amount d which is an error in an output from the travelled distance calculating device with respect to an actual value it should be. The distance error amount d is corrected so as to be reduced. In order to obtain the distance error amount d, a moving path of the vehicle position is estimated without considering whether the position is on or off a road after completing the left or right turn, it is checked whether the estimated moving path of the vehicle position is an overshoot or an undershoot with respect to the second road on the road map, and the amount of the overshoot or the undershoot is obtained as the aforementioned distance error amount d.

Abstract: Frame processing apparatus, and a related method for its operation, for use in a station connected to a token ring network, to ensure rapid stripping of frames from the network without reference to source addresses in the frames, and in spite of the possible presence of extraneous no-owner frames on the network. The adverse effects of extraneous no-owner frames are avoided by any of three techniques. First, transmitted information frames are preceded by a start strip delimiter frame and followed by an end strip delimiter frame. The process strips all incoming frames (except tokens and ring initialization frames, which are specially handled), but does not count the stripped frames until the start strip delimiter frame is detected. Therefore, extraneous frames preceding the transmitted information frames will be stripped but not counted, and all of the transmitted frames will be stripped. In another approach, an estimated stripping time is used to terminate stripping. Frame counters are not then needed and extraneous frames will be stripped prior to the desired information frames. A third approach is to preset the transmitted frame count to some selected value, so that more frames will be stripped than were transmitted. Thus, preceding extraneous frames will be stripped, but the end strip delimiter will still terminate stripping and preclude overstripping.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un système de gestion de ressources telles que des tampons et des largeurs de bandes qui sont attribués à des entités concurrentes (100, 102, 104) réparties sur deux niveaux ou plus (niveau 0...niveau N) dans un réseau de télécommunications. Le système offre un outil d'affectation de ressources destinées à être utilisées par des entités individuelles dont chacune peut se voir attribuer une variable de garantie de minimum (302) et une variable de garantie de maximum (306). Lorsqu'une entité (304) demande des ressources, le système détermine dans quelle mesure elle utilise son affectation minimale de garantie de ressources définie par la variable de garantie de minimum (302); si ce n'est pas le cas, le système lui (304) attribue une unité de ressource. Le système peut également permettre à une entité demanderesse d'utiliser des unités de ressources additionnelles dépassant l'affectation de ressources spécifiée par sa variable de garantie de minimum, à condition que des unités de ressources soient disponibles. Si l'entité demanderesse a atteint son affectation minimale de garantie de ressources, mais n'a pas atteint son maximum d'affectation de ressources spécifié par la variable de garantie de maximum (306), et qu'aucun niveau intermédiaire n'a utilisé son affectation de ressources maximale autorisée (312), une unité de ressource lui est attribuée.

Title: Device for single-channel transmission of data from two sources
Inventor: PETERS HARALD
IPC: B61L7/08
Filed: 1996-08-22
Abstract: The invention concerns a secure multi-computer system in which only one of the computers (R1) has an output channel (ABG) through which data from the computer system are transmitted to a receiving terminal. The data transmitted include wanted data (N1) and test data (P2) which can be identified in a predetermined way from the wanted data. The transmitted wanted and test data come from different computers in the computer system. For instance, the wanted data may come from the computer which feeds the data into the transmission channel and the test data (P2) from another computer (R2). Since the computers in the computer system inform each other continuously about the data in their databuses, the outputting computer is always informed of the wanted and test data from the other computer. Suitable wiring ensures that both computers participate in providing the data transmitted.
