Patent EP-1128613-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GASMAN CHARLES ROBERT
IPC: H04L12/841
Filed: 2001-01-08
Abstract: A network server system for processing client requests received over a
communication network includes a server farm having a number of servers. A load
management switch or other network element is coupled between a set of clients and the
server farm, and processes client requests for network services so as to implement a desired
load balancing policy. The switch collects server statistics regarding, e.g., type of
connections being serviced, delivered throughput, response time and number of active
connections for each of the servers. The value of an objective function is then determined
for each of the servers based on the collected statistics, and a particular one of the servers
is selected for servicing one or more client requests based on the computed values of the
objective function. Each of the servers may have associated therewith a unique Internet
Protocol (IP) address and a common shared IP address corresponding to an advertised
address of the server farm. The switch may be configured such that packets corresponding
to the client requests are directed to particular servers without any modification of the IP
addresses in the packets. For example, the packets may be routed by altering a local
network address of a packet, such as an Ethernet media access control (MAC) address of
a packet, so as to allow the packet to be delivered to a selected one of the servers.

Abstract: A transaction processing system (1) allows users to interact using Web
browsers (2) with Web servers and Application servers (ASs). The Web
servers have connection clients (CC) and resident controller configuration
and administrator programs for handling transaction requests. Each
connection client (CC) routes a request to a connection processor (CP) in an
application server (AS). The connection processor (CP) dynamically
generates a HTML page for transmission to the connection client (CC). This
is performed with use of data servers (DSs) in the application server. This
structure is modular and flexible and handles transaction requests with a
good response time.

Abstract: An optical transmission system is formed to include an optical phase
conjugator (200) at alternate repeater sites to minimize the presence of four-wave mixing
and other Kerr effect nonlinearities in systems using optical fiber transmission paths
(particularly in systems using DWDM and launching relatively high power signals
into the low dispersion fiber). Raman gain is included in each fiber span (or in
alternate fiber spans) so as to provide a "negative absorption" along the length of the
fiber and thereby provide for essentially symmetrical power distribution along the
length of each span, where the presence of such a symmetric power distribution on
each side of an optical phase conjugator (200) has been found to significantly improve its
performance.

Title: Optimisation automatique de la position des tiges de caracteres typographiques
Inventor: STAMM BEAT
IPC: G06T11/00
Filed: 2001-04-09
Abstract: La présente invention concerne le positionnement automatique de caractéristiques typographiques tels que des tiges verticales ou des segments horizontaux d'un caractère (205) au niveau des limites à fort contraste d'un sous-composant pixel dans le cadre d'un processus de restitution qui utilise des sous-composants pixel commandés séparément (202, 203, 204) de pixels pour représenter différentes parties d'un caractère (205). Pour identifier les caractéristiques typographiques du caractère (205) qui doivent être alignées sur des limites à fort contraste de sous-composant pixel, on analyse la topologie du caractère pendant l'exécution. Sur des dispositifs d'affichage avec bandes verticales de sous-composants pixel de même couleur (202, 203, 204), il est apparu que la lisibilité du caractère augmentait lorsque les bords gauches des tiges (206) étaient alignés sur les limites à fort contraste (208) entre sous-composants pixel. Il est possible de réduire le temps de traitement et les ressources requises en procédant à une analyse topologique partielle, et non complète, du caractère. Certains fichiers de polices de caractères renferment par exemple des structures de données qui permettent de définir des points de contrôle clés associés avec tel caractère et qui indiquent l'emplacement des tiges et autres caractéristiques typographiques ainsi que la relation entre des caractéristiques typographiques différentes.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de décodage permettant de décoder des symboles de données codés dans un transmetteur par un code concaténé en série ou par un code turbo dans un mode de traitement parallèle. Dès connaissance du procédé de codage, le récepteur peut reconfigurer la sélection de symboles de données à partir d'un tableau (600) afin de mettre en oeuvre le procédé de décodage approprié. Initialement, une estimation de symboles de données est déterminée pour un certain nombre de symboles de données d'une pluralité de symboles de données Xi, Yi, et Wi. Les estimations de données de symboles de données Xi, Yi, et Wi traversant un premier et un deuxième noeuds de décision (610, 620) comportent des estimations de variables d'une ou plusieurs équations de codage. Une nouvelle estimation est déterminée pour le symbole de données Xi sur la base de l'estimation déterminée au cours de l'étape initiale, et de la nouvelle estimation pour chaque occurrence du symbole de données Xi au niveau des premier et deuxième noeuds de décision (610, 620). Après normalisation des estimations des symboles de données Xi, Yi, et Wi, une nouvelle estimation peut être déterminée pour le symbole de données Xi, cette estimation contenant une valeur réelle pour le symbole de données Xi avec un niveau de confidence supérieur à une estimation préalablement déterminée.

Abstract: An inhaler for producing an inhalable aerosol of a powdered medicament comprises a cyclone ( 1 ) with a tangential air inlet ( 3 ) and an axial air outlet ( 4 ). The cyclone ( 1 ) aerosolises and retains an aerosol of powdered medicament in an airflow circulating between the inlet ( 3 ) and the outlet ( 4 ). The cyclone ( 1 ) has an exit port ( 2 ) which is open to atmosphere. When the aerosol is to be inhaled, the pressure in the cyclone ( 1 ) is increased by increasing the airflow to the inlet ( 3 ) which causes the aerosol to discharge through the exit port ( 2 ). The inhaler has the advantage that the rate of discharge of the aerosol can be controlled independently of the rate of airflow required to aerosolise the medicament.
