Abstract: A multivalued FSK demodulation window comparator
includes an MSB comparator, an LSB comparator, a reception
electric field strength detector, and a reference voltage
generating circuit. The MSB comparator determines at least
the polarity of a frequency shift of a radio frequency. The
LSB comparator determines the absolute value of the frequency
shift of the radio frequency. The reception electric
field strength detector detects the strength of a radio
signal and outputs a signal corresponding to the detected
strength. The reference voltage generating circuit changes
the reference voltages of the LSB comparator in accordance
with an output voltage from the reception electric field
strength detector. When the output voltage from the
reception electric field strength detector is not higher
than a predetermined level, a reference voltage from the
reference voltage generating circuit changes.

Abstract: The invention provides for a method and apparatus operable in a SCSI RAID
subsystem to enable improved portability in host based RAID management programs. The
method and apparatus of the present invention are operable within a RAID subsystem to
enable use of standardized read and write system function calls to the device driver for
communication with a control port within the RAID subsystem. A special LUN is
reserved for such read and write administrative calls. The special control port LUN
processes the read and write calls to perform the desired RAID management functions on
behalf of the management program on an attached host computer. Tag field values are
used as logical block numbers in the read and write commands directed to the control port
LUN to identify which of several management programs issued the command. The control
port LUN within the SCSI RAID subsystem enables the host management program to
utilize standardized read and write system function calls. Use of these standardized system
function calls significantly enhances the portability of RAID management programs
between a plurality of computing environments.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for encoding MATCH signal and MATCH
ADDRESS signal generation for a content addressable memory
("CAM") array (105) is disclosed. Each CAM core (105 1-N )
has an output encoder (111 1-N ) for providing a MATCH signal
(115 1-N ) and, if a MATCH is determined, a MATCH_ADDRESS

transistors (205), with designated MATCH_ADDRESS
transistors being used to indicate a MATCH, that is,
providing a substitute MATCH signal, if the MATCH line has
no transistor. The output encoder (111) output signals are
encoded (113) to provide a final MATCH signal (401) and a
final MATCH_ADDRESS (403, 405) which adds a CAM core
designator (403) to the MATCH_ADDRESS (117, 405) from the

Abstract: In an optical transmission system, an optical signal is transmitted
to an optical element which is sensitive to changes in the optical
power of the signal. Changes in optical power are anticipated and
damped by controlling the transmitter output power, or an external
damping element. For WDM systems, wavelengths can be added or
removed without causing rapid changes in total power which would
otherwise disturb the output of downstream optical amplifiers, and
cause bit errors.

Abstract: Switch 141 continuously switches between received signal
2 and a supplemental signal, which is obtained by
processing the received signal 2 through filter 145 to use
the output of switch 141 in place of received signal 2.
Accordingly, adaptive filters 122 and 124 operate
sometimes by using received signal 2 as the input signal
and sometimes by using the supplemental signal as the
input signal, so that it is possible to obtain adaptive
filter coefficients by using twice the number of
conditional equations as the case of using only received
signal 2 as the input signal. Therefore, since the
adaptive filter coefficients do not becomes indefinite, it
is possible to converge the coefficients to the correct
values. Further, since switching period between the
original and the supplemental signals is controlled to be
longer than the sampling period of the received signal, it
is possible to suppress aliasing distortion of the
received signal directly supplied to a speaker and to be
maintain better sound quality.

Abstract: To support interleaving of optical channels and to provide sufficient isolation
between such interleaved channels, a circulator (60-62) receives, on an optical
fibre (16-18), a broadband signal containing a plurality of adjacent channels. The
circulator selectively routes the broadband signal through a filter (64, 66) to
isolate, on an individual basis, at least one desired channel. A filtered signal,
corresponding to the at least one desired channel, is then output from the filter
(64-66) and reflected back into the filter by a mirror (68-70) such that the at least
one desired channel is subjected to a second filtering process that further
improves isolation of the at least one desired channel. Following this second
filtering process, the at least one desired channel is applied to the circulator (60-62)
for re-inserting into the optical fibre (16-18), as illustrated in FIG. 6. To
mitigate the effects of four-wave mixing in each bi-directional optical fibre, a
channel assignment plan ensures that pairs of adjacent channels are assigned
on a mutually exclusive basis to at least one of an up-link and a down-link
direction.
