Title: Numbering of video objects and cells
Inventor: DE HAAN WIEBE
IPC: G11B27/32
Filed: 2000-06-23
Abstract: A method of recording an encoded bit stream, said encoded bit stream representing a plurality of video objects comprising a sequence of cells together constituting a part of an MPEG2 Program Stream, on a disc like record carrier, such as an optical disc. The method comprises recording video objects comprising a sequence of contiguously recorded cells, each cell comprising a unique cell identification number within a video object, recording of a playback sequence of cells that defines a playable program chain of cells, wherein said sequence comprises references to the cell identification numbers and recording navigation data within said cells comprising said cell identification numbers. The method further comprises dividing at least one previously recorded cell into new cells and/or overwriting at least one previously recorded cell at least partly with a new cell, assigning the at least one new cell with a cell identification number and recording a new playback sequence of cells employing the at least one new cell, the new playback sequence not necessarily employing an incremental numbering of cell identification numbers. Hereby a time consuming renumbering of all cells is being avoided.

Title: Micromachined virtual impactor
Inventor: BIRMINGHAM JOSEPH G
IPC: G01N1/02
Filed: 2001-01-29
Abstract: A separation plate separates a major flow of fluid from a minor flow of fluid.  The major flow includes a minor portion of particles greater than a "cut size," while the minor flow includes a major portion of particles greater than the cut size.  Plates define a laterally extending passage between a front of the separation plate and its rear. The passage telescopes or converges from an initial height at its inlet, to a substantially smaller height at its outlet. A slot extends transversely into the plates from within a minor flow portion of the passage and connect into major flow outlet ports.  The flow of fluid into the outlet is thus divided into the major flow, which flows from the major flow outlet ports and the minor flow that exits the outlet of the passage To accommodate a desired flow of fluid, the width of the passage can be changed, or an array of stacked separation plates can be employed.

Title: Tailored base station power levels at handoff and call setup
Inventor: OSTMAN THOMAS
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2000-04-14
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for controlling the inital transmit power from a base station to a mobile station at call set-up and call handoff. The initial transmit power from a base station during a call set-up can be reduced from the conventional full power level by a sum of the hysteresis value for the cell which is handing off the mobile station and the hysteresis value for the cell which is receiving the mobile station. When the mobile station initiates or receives a call, the initial tranmsit power from a base station to the mobile station is reduced from the full power level by the hysteresis value for the hysteresis zone which surrounds the cell in which call set-up is to occur. The reduction in the initial power levels reduces interference caused to surrounding cells at the initiation of a call set-up or call handoff.
