Abstract: Described herein is apparatus and method for implementing location
specific congestion control in a transmission control protocol (TCP)
connection. The TCP connection extends between an internet connection
(12) and one or more mobile terminals (22, 24, 26). Each mobile terminal
(22, 24, 26) is connected to a base station (18) which is then connected to the

Abstract: A digital photofinishing station (5) is capable of being loaded with
one or more distinct films in need of photofinishing. The digital photofinishing
station has the capability to identify the film and apply a specific correction
algorithm based on the identified film. More specifically, the digital
photofinishing station (5) is capable of handling films of different density forming
properties, process these films using a common developing process, and apply a
proper correction algorithm based on the type of film. Further, chemical
constituents of the developer solution in the development process can be
monitored, and based on known deviations in development caused by specific
deviations in the developer solution, a proper correction algorithm is applied. In a
further feature of the present invention, film can be developed and scanned at the
digital photofinishing station. When the proper correction algorithm for either the
film type or the developing solution deviations is not available locally, a remote
server can be accessed.

Abstract: In a receiver arrangement of a base station, sync circuit sections and
demodulating circuit sections are separately arranged. For receiving a 2-multicode
signal from a data user, a combination of only one sync circuit section
(13) and two demodulating circuit sections (23, 24) is used to reduce the required
number of the sync circuit sections. Similarly, in a transmitter arrangement of a
base station, only one sync signal inserting circuit is used for transmitting a
multi-code signal. A system restrains the information transmitting rate of a
mobile terminal located near a cell boundary, or when the communication quality
of a neighboring base station is deteriorated. Respective code signals are put
priorities according to their importance, so that a receiver side can determine
allocation of demodulating circuits in accordance with the priorities of respective
code signals.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un logiciel comprenant des moyens sémaphore destinés à rendre passive une première tâche jusqu'à ce qu'un premier événement d'un ensemble d'événements déterminés se produise. Le logiciel comprend des fichiers de messages spécifiques associés à la première tâche aux fins de réception de données à traiter par cette tâche. L'apparition d'un événement de l'ensemble d'événements prédéterminés provoque l'écriture d'un groupe de données dans l'un des fichiers de messages associés. Le logiciel de l'invention peut être mis en oeuvre au moyen d'un quelconque système d'exploitation comportant des outils de synchronisation classiques. De tels outils comprennent des moyens sémaphore destinés à provoquer la mise en pause d'une tâche dans le cadre d'un événement unique tel que la libération du sémaphore par une autre tâche. Ils comprennent aussi des mécanismes de blocage destinés à bloquer temporairement des 'interruptions' provenant de gestionnaires d'interruptions lors d'écriture de données (réception de message) dans les fichiers de messages associés à la première tâche. L'invention permet, en effet, d'obtenir un équivalent au 'mécanisme prédéterminé' mais utilise des outils de synchronisation très classiques la rendant adaptée aux systèmes incorporés.

Abstract: A particle clutch and a ball-ramp-actuated friction clutch controlled by the particle
clutch. The particle clutch includes input and output couplings, the transfer of force
therebetween being determined by the shear viscosity of a magnetically reactive medium,
comprising magnetic particles or a magnetorheological fluid, which fills a gap between
corresponding surfaces operably connected to the input and output couplings. The shear
viscosity of the medium is variable by the application of a magnetic field. The output
coupling is operably connected to one side of the ball-ramp actuator, such that a transfer
of force between the input and output couplings causes a relative rotation in the actuator,
initiating a camming action that compresses friction plates within the friction clutch for
transfer of torque through the friction clutch.
