Abstract: A data communicating device, having a number of inputs whereat data is received for communication from one of a number of outputs of the device, includes apparatus for selecting one of the inputs based upon a comparison of accumulated bias values that can change over time when an input is kept waiting. Each input is provided an assigned bias value from which is developed the accumulated bias value that is compared with that of other inputs arbitrating for access to an output. The output selects one of the inputs, based upon the comparison, and the accumulated bias value of the selected input is diminished by the sum of the assigned bias values of the inputs participating in the arbitration, but not selected, while the accumulated bias values of the other participants are each increased by their corresponding assigned bias values. Thereby, numbers of inputs having data destined for the same output will have their chance of gaining access to the output increased the longer they wait; conversely, inputs which do gain access have their chances for immediate subsequent access decreased in favor of allowing other inputs access.

Abstract: A wireless communication unit for a wireless communication system transmits and receives video, audio and data signals within an RF bandwidth. The RF bandwidth is allocated among the video, audio and data signals to allow the video, audio and data signals to fit within the RF bandwidth. The allocation is performed by buffering the signals, making priority assignments to each of the buffered signals, and transmitting the buffered signals according to the priority assignments. The transmitted signals occupy the RF bandwidth in portions specified by the priority assignments. The priority assignments can be changed during a communication link. The subscriber unit receives a transmission header from another party on the communication link, which may include a request by the other party to change the priority assignments. If such a request is received, the subscriber unit automatically changes the priority assignments in response to the request. The communication unit is applicable to subscriber units and base stations. One such subscriber can be a cellular telephone having full-motion video capability.

Abstract: The cavity (1) comprises at least one waveguide segment with elliptical cross section whose axes are arranged at a given inclination angle (α) with respect to the polarisation of the incident TE field. Thus a dual-mode cavity is realised, with the ability to let resonate two transverse fields (TE) with polarisation planes orthogonal to each other. By adding a waveguide element (CR2, CR3) able to introduce a non-axial discontinuity, a triple-mode cavity is obtained, allowing for an additional longitudinal mode to resonate as well.

Abstract: In the case of a highly luminous discharge lamp for automobiles, since a temperature rise to about 700°C in the glass surface of a lamp during the lighting will lead to an exposure of the light-screening film 4 formed thereon also to a temperature of 700°C, the temperature of the glass surface of a lamp rises and accordingly that of the light-screening film 4 formed thereon also rises. Especially with a highly luminous discharge lamp for automobiles, the temperature of the glass surface of the lamp rises to about 700°C during the lighting and necessarily the light-screening film on the glass surface is also exposed to a temperature of 700°C, a light-screening film material free of occurrence of discoloration or peeling even after exposure to a temperature of 700°C has been desired. It is the object of the present invention to prepare a light-screening film paint for lamps comprising: at least one compound of either manganese oxide or iron oxide containing 5 mol% to 30 mol% of manganese; and powder glass containing at least one of compounds respectively of silica, zinc oxide, boron oxide and aluminum oxide, and moreover to produce a light-screening film by applying the above paint to the surface of a lamp, followed by the firing at a temperature of not higher than 1,200°C.

Abstract: In a process for making a web of fibrous material (especially paper), the suspension of fibrous material (stock) is passed through two dewatering units of a twin wire former, and the dewatering performance of the first dewatering unit is controlled in such a way that the water quantity removed per unit time in the second dewatering unit is held at an at least approximately adjustable rate.   Also claimed is a twin wire former having a first dewatering section with an adjustable dewatering performance, and a second which is fitted with a device which measures the amount of water being removed by it. Preferably the quantity of water removed per unit time in the second dewatering unit is measured, and the measurement is fed to a control device (66) in which it is compared with a set point value. In the event of a deviation, the control device adjusts the dewatering performance of the first unit so that of the second unit is restored to approximately the set point value. The first dewatering unit is subjected to a suction which is varied to obtain the required dewatering performance. Both sieve belts (11,12) in the first unit may be passed over at least one curved surface to which the suction device is connected. In the second unit, one sieve belt is passed over fixed rails, whilst the other is subjected to pressure from flexible rails. The controller has input channels for the measured value and the set point, and an output channel for a control signal which effects a change in the performance of the first dewatering unit.

Abstract: In a design of an optical arrangement (12) for a digital imaging system (10), optical elements (34, 36, 38, 40 and 42; 52, 54, 56, 58 and 60) are selected (22) and arranged based upon achieving low levels of aberrations other than distortion, with a distortion level of 5% or greater being introduced by sacrificing distortion-free imaging to achieve such low levels. The distortion of the optical arrangement is characterized (24) and then identified (26) to a digital image processing system (18), allowing the distortion that is introduced at the optical level to be corrected (30) at the processing level. The approach is to provide front end image shaping (28) that sacrifices distortion-free imaging to control other aberration contributions and then to provide back end digital reshaping (30) to substantially correct the distortion. The identification of front end and back end shaping and reshaping is made with reference to a digitizing sensor (14) that provides the image raw data. In one embodiment, the sensor is a two-dimensional array of sensor elements.

Abstract: The present invention provides a digital certification system which
allows a user to add information to a digital certificate without requiring the
re-issuance of the digital certificate and the invalidating of all distributed
copies of the previous certificate. The invention comprises a digital certificate
and the associated computer system and procedure which support its usage.
The certificate of the present invention is split into two components. One
component (the  " certificate index " ) is distributed to the user and the public.
The other component (the  " certificate information " ) is maintained by the
certification authority in a publicly available trusted repository. In one
embodiment, a certification authority generates a unique user ID for an
applicant for a digital certificate. The certification authority then issues a
digital certificate index containing the unique user ID, the user's public key,
and the user ' s name. Unlike in the prior art, in the present invention,
additional certificate information (such as, for example, the user's E-mail
address) is excluded from the digital certificate index. Instead, such additional
certificate information is maintained by a certification authority in a publicly
available trusted repository. The location of the additional information is
indicated by the unique ID. Instead of linking a public key, a user name, and
the additional information, the digital certificate of the present invention
links a public key with an unchanging user ID, which indicates where the
additional certificate information may be found. The present invention thus
allows a certification authority to change the additional certificate
information at the request of the user without requiring issuance of a new
certificate.
