Patent EP-0854596-A1 (EP)
Inventor: VIRTANEN SAMI
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 1998-01-21
Abstract: A system for configuring signaling messages in a telecommunications system when
setting up the data transmission rates on the forward and reverse links for-data
transmission on a variable rate symmetric/asymmetric data channel, so as to shorten
the time and signal length required in the connection setup of such a system and to
reduce the demand on processing resources and processing time in both the mobile
and the base stations. An information record contained in a signaling message, such
as a Service Request Message, a Service Response Message, a Service
Connect, or a Status Response Message, that is used to setup the forward and
reverse links of the data channel, is provided with an ASYMMETRIC_RATES bit field.
In the case when both forward and reverse links are indicated in a service type
message to use the same rate configuration, i.e., the same link setup parameters, the
ASYMMETRIC_RATES bit, i.e., the bit in the ASYMMETRIC_RATES field in the
signaling message, is set to one binary value, e.g., '0', to indicate that the same rate
configuration is used for both directions. Then only one rate configuration is encoded
in the service type message and the message is considerably shortened saving time
and reducing complexity. The ASYMMETRIC_RATES bit field may be used to
advantage in other message applications.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for authenticating a proffered identity of a speaker in
which the verbal information content of a speaker's utterance, rather than the vocal
characteristics of the speaker, are used to identify or verify the identity of a speaker.
Specifically, features of a speech utterance spoken by a speaker are compared with at
least one sequence of speaker-independent speech models, where one of these
sequences of speech models corresponds to speech reflecting information associated
with an individual having said proffered identity. Then, a confidence level that the
speech utterance in fact reflects the information associated with the individual having
said proffered identity is determined based on said comparison. In accordance with
one illustrative embodiment, the proffered identity is an identity claimed by the
speaker, and the claimed identity is verified based upon the determined confidence
level. In accordance with another illustrative embodiment, each of a plurality of
proffered identities is checked in turn to identify the speaker as being a particular one
of a corresponding plurality of individuals. The features of the speech utterance may
comprise cepstral ( i.e.,  frequency) domain data, and the speaker-independent speech
models may comprise Hidden Markov Models of individual phonemes. Since
speaker-independent models are employed, the need for each system user to perform
an individual training session is eliminated.

Abstract: An implantable atrial defibrillator analyzes both the atrium and the ventricle to
determine an abnormal atrial condition of the atrium and if the ventricle is unstable.
Therapy is applied to correct the abnormal atrial condition, such as atrial fibrillation,
only if the ventricle is stable, to insure that the therapy does not provoke a ventricular
tachyarrhythmia. If the ventricle is unstable, first a process is performed to stabilize it,
for example by using a ventricular pacing protocol. After the ventricle is stabilized, the
atrial therapy is applied in synchronism with the ventricular events (i.e., in synchronism
with either ventricular intrinsic events or ventricular pacing pulses.)

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and related device to be used to establish a traffic based shortcut when running the Internet Protocol (IP) over a connection oriented network. Such a network may exists of a number of switch-routers and/or one or more IP-routers and/or one or more switches. The shortcutting is performed by the co-operation of the present IP-routers and or IP-router-parts. The described configuration manages the forwarding of Internet Protocol packet flows along a shortcut path. For each shortcut path set-up, a separate virtual channel connection is used. Only a restricted number of virtual channels is available for shortcut paths to be set up. To improve the efficiency of use of the available virtual channels, the time-out period of a shortcut path is determined depending on the local network load. By maintaining and using, an existing shortcut path to forward one or more IP packet flows simultaneously with, or subsequently to the first shortcutted flow the efficiency is increased as well.

Title: Procede de recalage d'images sonar au moyen de sous-antennes
Inventor: PINTO MARC
IPC: G01S15/89
Filed: 1998-01-13
Abstract: L'invention concerne les procédés de recalage des images sonar d'une même zone du fond marin. Elle consiste à construire, lors d'une première récurrence, pour chaque point F du fond, défini par ses coordonnées dans l'image sonar no. 1 une sous-antenne de taille donnée à une extrémité de l'antenne physique, et avec cette sous-antenne, une première voie pointée sur F, sur une tranche temporelle courte centrée sur F. On construit ensuite une sous-antenne à la récurrence no. 2, de même taille que la précédente, mais à l'extrémité opposée de l'antenne physique, et on forme, avec cette deuxième sous-antenne, une pluralité de deuxièmes voies sur un secteur suffisamment large pour contenir F. On intercorrèle ces deuxièmes voies avec la première voie pour retenir celle qui maximise le pic d'intercorrélation. On termine en répétant les opérations précédentes pour différentes tailles de sous-antennes et on retient celle qui réalise le maximum maximorum des intercorrélations précédentes. La meilleure estimation de la position de F dans l'image sonar no. 2 se déduit des décalages en gisement entre la première voie et la meilleure deuxième voie, du retard d'intercorrélation entre ces voies, et de la meilleure taille de sous-antenne. Le procédé est ensuite appliqué de proche en proche. Elle permet de recaler de manière cohérente les images successives obtenues avec un sonar pour toutes les récurrences de ce sonar.

Abstract: An implantable cochlear electrode array includes an electrode carrier, a groove within the electrode carrier, and a flexible element located in the groove. After the electrode array is implanted, the flexible element may be held in place while the electrode carrier may be partially withdrawn so that the electrode carrier pulls away from the flexible element which emerges from the groove through the surface of the electrode carrier, except where the electrode carrier and the flexible element are attached, so that the electrode carrier wraps around an inner scala tympani wall. A portion of the apical end of the electrode carrier may extend beyond the ends of the groove and the flexible element so that the apical end of the electrode carrier does not wrap around the inner scala tympani wall when the electrode carrier is partially withdrawn after insertion in the cochlea. The electrode carrier may include a perimodiolar section to be positioned next to an inner scala tympani wall of the cochlea, and an outer wall section to be positioned next to an outer scala tympani wall of the cochlea. Theperimodiolar section may be shorter than the outer wall section to accommodate the real length difference between the inner and outer walls of the scala tympani of a cochlea. Preferred embodiments are also directed to a method of fabricating such a cochlear electrode array by negative casting, and to a method of implanting such a cochlear electrode array.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing trunking support in a network device is provided. According to one aspect of the present invention, a network device includes at least one port that is configured to be included in a trunk. The network device also includes a memory for storing a forwarding database. The forwarding database includes entries containing therein forwarding information for a subset of network addresses. The network device further includes a learning circuit. The learning circuit is coupled to the trunked port and the memory. The learning circuit is configured to modify the forwarding database to reflect an association between the trunked port and a first address contained within a packet received by the trunked port. If the trunk is of a first type, the learning circuit updates the forwarding database based upon a trunk designator corresponding to the trunk; otherwise, the learning circuit updates the forwarding database based upon a port designator corresponding to the trunked port. According to another aspect of the present invention, a packet is received by a network device on one of its input ports. The packet contains therein header information including a destination address. A forwarding database is searched for the destination address. If the destination address is not found in the forwarding database and the output trunk is coupled to a network device of a first type, then load balancing is performed to assure the packet is forwarded to only one port of the output trunk. However, if the output trunk is coupled to a network device of a second type, then the packet is forwarded to all ports of the output trunk.
