Patent EP-0907126-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TAUGHER LAWRENCE N
IPC: G06F13/40
Filed: 1998-08-24
Abstract: A method of automatically configuring a computer peripheral device as a primary
device or as a secondary device. There are four possible cases: (1) no other device present, (2)
legacy primary device present, (3) legacy secondary device present and (4) second
unconfigured jumperless device present. In each example embodiment, the host computer
determines (108, 204, 304) whether any legacy devices are present by sending commands that
are ignored by unconfigured jumperless devices. If a legacy device is present, the host
computer sends a command (110, 112, 208, 210, 308, 310) recognized only by an
unconfigured jumperless device commanding the particular configuration for the jumperless
device. In a first example embodiment, jumperless devices assert a signal (104) after reset with
a timing that is dependent on an electronically readable identification on the device. For case
(4), the first device to assert the signal becomes the secondary device (110). For case (4) in the
second example embodiment, each jumperless device drives (232), or monitors (230) a line
during sequential time periods corresponding to bits in the electronically readable identification
number. For case (4) in the third example embodiment, the jumperless devices arbitrate (320)
for primary/secondary status without involvement by the host computer by a process that is
dependent on the electronically readable identification number on each device.

Abstract: The system has a part (1,9) which sends information to a screen (6). The displayed information is read (11) and compared (10) with the sent information. The display operation is interrupted if the displayed and sent information do not concur. The screen is the active portion only of a flat transparent display with an active surface having electronic control. The reader is an optical sensor which is positioned at the back of the screen in relation to the observer (12) and consists of a linear charge transfer detector connected to the rear face of the screen by an optical fibre network. The information fed to the screen passes along two separate channels (3,4), one passing through the screen's video input (5) and the other through the comparison unit.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un filtre à cavité (10) à ondes acoustiques comportant des éléments résonants montés en série et en shunt (22, 24) et constituant un réseau en échelle. Les éléments série (22) sont configurés en montage passe-bas. Les shunts (24) fonctionnent comme inverseurs d'impédance dans un filtre passe-bande du filtre et résonnent en série à une fréquence d'antirésonance des éléments série (22) de filtre passe-bande, ce qui crée une isolation supplémentaire. L'épaisseur du métal des électrodes (14) des éléments (22, 24) améliore les pertes d'une fréquence de résonance série dans une bande passante, ce qui améliore également la perte d'insertion. Toutefois, tout accroissement de la perte près de la fréquence d'antirésonance est compensé par la réduction de perte près de la fréquence de résonance des shunts (24). La configuration passe bas ainsi que la fréquence d'antirésonance des éléments série alignés et la fréquence de résonance des shunts assurent une bonne perte d'insertion, une bonne isolation entre les bandes émission et réception, et conservent de bonnes caractéristiques passe-bande tout en réduisant le nombre des éléments nécessaires dans le réseau en échelle.

Abstract: An inputted original image 100 is divided to a second block image by a second
block generating section 2, and a second feature quantity is extracted by a second
feature quantity extracting section 6. The second block image and the second feature
quantity are stored in an image memory section 3. A control section 15 reads out,
from the image memory section 3, only a block image having the same feature quantity
as the feature quantity of a first block image from a first feature quantity extracting
section 5, and transform processing is carried out by an image transforming and
generating section 7 so as to send a block image 107 after transform to an approximate
block search section 4. The approximate block search section 4 takes matching
between the first block image 101 and the block image 107 after transform, and
searches for a block image which realizes the minimum error between these block
images. The approximate block search section 4 then selects and sends the block
image to a coding and multiplexing section 9. Thus, in iterated image transform
coding and decoding, a high coding efficiency can be maintained to provide an image
of higher quality while approximate block search is carried out at a high speed.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for making silica glass and silica glass preforms. A liquid, preferably halide-free, silicon-containing compound capable of being converted by thermal oxidative decomposition to SiO2 is provided and introduced directly into the flame of a combustion burner, which converts the compound to silica, thereby forming finely divided amorphous soot. The soot is vaporized proximate the site where the liquid is converted into silica glass by atomizing the liquid, preferably with a stream of atomizing gas. A heater proximate the burner face and around the burner flame increases soot capture rate and allows for a reduction of the velocity of the atomizing gas. The amorphous soot is deposited on a receptor surface where, either substantially simultaneously with or subsequently to its deposition, the soot is consolidated into a body of fused silica glass.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for setting up a data link, wherein an end-to-end link comprises at least two separate legs (402, 403) with error correction protocols. The legs may have different physical layer connections or their error correction protocols (V. 120, RLP) may be different. An interworking function IWF according to the invention that is located between these legs (402, 403) is integrated such that the legs can communicate with each other during set-up of traffic channel in order to exchange data compression parameters. The IWF intervenes in an end-to-end data compression negotiation, performs protocol conversions on messages transmitted from one leg to another, synchronizes the legs, if required, by delaying the set-up of the faster leg and the compression negotiation, modifies the compression parameters provided by the legs, if required, and if the end-to-end data compression negotiation fails, it may set up data compression on only one leg.
