Patent EP-1075116-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HO JOSEPH S
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-07-12
Abstract: A distributed flow control system and method for
GPRS networks to control and regulate data flow between
multiple sources and a single destination within a GPRS
network. A leaky bucket flow control mechanism is used.
A multiplier (L) is estimated and determined for each respective
source based on recent data arrival behaviors of the
multiple sources. When a frame of the data is sent from
the respective source to the single destination, a number
of bytes equal to the size of the transmitted frame times
the multiplier L is added to the leaky bucket. An
additional frame of data is allowed to be sent from the
respective source to the single destination if
transmission of the data frame will not result in
overflow of the leaky bucket.

Abstract: The present invention provides an adaptive microwave oven capable of
entering an operation mode which avoids interference with a communication device either
upon detection of a communication from a communication device (e.g., a cordless
telephone) operating in a microwave frequency range, or upon receipt of a command
indicating the operation of a microwave device such as a cordless telephone through a
suitable network (e.g., a piconet using Bluetooth Technology). In one embodiment, a
cooking mode of a microwave oven is paused (or significantly reduced) to best avoid
interference with microwave signals between a remote handset and a matching base unit of
a cordless telephone. The activity of microwave communications within the vicinity of the
adaptive microwave oven can be determined, e.g., using a passive cordless telephone
receiver which detects communication activity in the microwave range, or using direct
communications from the cordless telephone using a suitable wireless network, e.g., a
piconet using Bluetooth technology. In another embodiment, the frequency of an adaptive
microwave oven capable of generating microwave energy at any of a plurality of
microwave frequency ranges is controlled in accordance with the microwave frequency
used by an electronic device (e.g., a cordless telephone) in the vicinity of the adaptive
microwave oven. In this embodiment, a cordless telephone receiver can provide a
controller for the adaptive microwave oven with passively detected information regarding
the frequency of communication traffic in the vicinity of the microwave oven, or a wireless
network can be used to provide frequency information directly between the relevant
electronic device (e.g., cordless telephone) and the adaptive microwave oven.

component. The resistance value of the resistive component is set to a value
such that a voltage drop is caused, whereby when the generator generates a
current equal to or greater than a predetermined value, a voltage to be applied
to the timepiece driving circuit by the generator is equal to or greater than the
lowest operation starting voltage.

Abstract: Methods and computer readable media generate a page file representing a compact
disc label sheet having label blanks thereon for one or both of a compact disc case or a
compact disc. The sheet may have a label for one or both of the compact disc case and the
compact disc. The method provides such sheet, wherein the sheet supports the labels at
any of a plurality of locations. The sheet with the labels supported at particular locations
define a particular geometric layout configuration. One or more images may also be on
the sheet. Operations of the method optically accent the particular configuration, and
then scan the optically accented configuration to generate a digital representation of the
sheet. All of the images are then excluded from the digital representation so that the
remaining digital representation represents only the labels. The remaining digital
representation is analyzed to determine the location on the sheet of the labels. A new
page file is created to represent the compact disc label sheet having the labels. The page
file includes data as to the location on the sheet of the labels. Using the method, and
computer readable media having program instructions for performing the method, a user
may buy such sheets for which the user's label printing software has no corresponding
page file, yet the user need not manually measure the locations of the labels that are on
the purchased new sheet to provide label location data, and the user need not enter any
label location data into a page file provided by the software.

Abstract: A video communication system has an encoder (250)
arranged to encode a digital video image signal at
different quantisation levels. A segmentation
arrangement (220) of the system divides the digital video
signal into first and second image segments. Encoding
means identifies INTRA coded frames, and for such frames
encodes the first image segment at a low quantisation
level and the second image segment at a high quantisation
level. In this way, the first and the second segments
may be transmitted over a network as a single encoded
signal (260) having both low and high quantisation
levels. 
     The first image segment provides a high spatial
resolution for objects of interest to a user, coupled
with a quick first image display time. Therefore, there
is a significant reduction in the transmission time
without sacrificing the spatial image resolution of the
object(s) of interest. 
     The invention may comprise part of a security camera, or
a mobile radio unit, such as a mobile phone, a portable
or mobile PMR radio, a personal digital assistant, a laptop
computer or a wirelessly networked PC.
