Abstract: An LED indicator system with at least one LED, and driving circuitry for driving the
at least one LED. A power supply supplies a drive current to the at least one LED. A
photodetector detects a luminous output of the at least one LED and correspondingly outputs
a detection signal. A conditioning circuit removes signal components indicative of stray light
from at least one source other than the at least one LED, for example from sunlight reflected
off of an LED array including the at least one LED, from the detection signal. As a result, the
conditioning circuit generates a synthesized intensity feedback signal to provide to the power
supply. The LED indicator system and driving circuitry for the at least one LED may further
include a controller which compares the current supplied by the power supply to the at least
one LED with the synthesized intensity feedback signal. A transmitter may transmit a signal
indicating a result of the comparison executed by the controller.

Abstract: A multi-source input and playback utility that accepts inputs from
various sources, transcribes the inputs as text, and plays aloud user-selected
portions of the text. The multi-source input and playback utility
displays the transcribed text as a document within a word processor. Any
dictation is stored in either long- or short-term storage as audio data
retrievable by the utility. The transcribed text may be freely edited,
changed, and manipulated by the user. The user may further select a
portion of the text and request audio playback thereof. The utility
examines each transcribed word in the selected text in turn. If stored
audio data is associated with the word, that audio data is retrieved and
played. If no audio data is associated, then a text-to-speech entry or
series of entries is retrieved and played instead. The multi-source input
and playback utility continues this process until all of the selected text has
been vocalized.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus
for achieving conformal step coverage on a substrate
by PVD. A target (104) provides a source of material
to be sputtering by a plasma and then ionized.
Ionization is facilitated by maintaining a
sufficiently dense plasma using, for example, an
inductive coil (122). The ionized material is then
deposited on the substrate (110) which is biased to a
negative voltage by support member (112). A signal
(200) provided to the target during processing
includes a negative voltage portion (202) and a zero-voltage
portion (204). During the negative voltage
portion, ions are attracted to the target to cause
sputtering. During the zero-voltage portion,
sputtering from the target is terminated while the
bias on the substrate cause reverse sputtering
therefrom. Accordingly, the negative voltage portion
(202) and the zero-voltage portion (204) are
alternated to cycle between a sputter step and a
reverse sputter step. The film quality and uniformity
can be controlled by adjusting the frequency of the
signal, the chamber pressure, the power supplied to
each of the support member and other process
parameters.

Abstract: A blank for a halftone phase shift photomask comprises a
transparent substrate (110) and a halftone phase shift film
provided thereon, and said halftone phases shift film has a
multilayer construction in which at least a first layer (121)
capable of being etched with a chlorinated gas and a second
layer (122) capable of being etched with a fluorinated gas
are disposed in this order from the side near said
transparent substrate. A film made of tantalum silicides is
suitable to use as the second layer of the halftone phase
shift film. When such a blank is first etched with a
fluorinated gas and then etched with chlorinated gas, because
an etching selective ratio to a transparent substrate made of
synthetic quartz and the like can be taken sufficiently while
maintaining the applicability to the exposure light with a
short wavelength that is characteristic of silicide materials
in addition to good chemical stability and good processing
properties that are characteristic of tantalum materials,
patterning in high precision will be made possible. As a
result, it is possible to obtain an ideal halftone phase
shift photomask excellent in stability after mask processing
and in the applicability to the short wavelength.

Abstract: A computer network has a plurality of routers that deliver data packets to the network
via a plurality of links. At least one router provides automatic protection switching in the
event of a link failure. The at least one router includes a plurality of data interfaces for
streams of data packets to enter and exit the at least one router; and a backup controller. The

backup routing path for forwarding affected data packets in the event of a failure of the at least
one link. The link monitor monitors the plurality of links to determine when a link fails.
When a link which has a backup routing path fails, the backup packet processor attaches
backup routing path instructions to affected data packets routed over the failed link, and
forwards the affected data packets via the backup routing path.

Abstract: A mobile communication system (1) is provided
including a plurality of base stations (11-29) placed in a
communication service area and connected to a network (10),
in which a mobile station (30) communicates with a second
station through the plurality of base stations (11-29) and
the network (10). The mobile communication system (1)
determines a virtual base station group, that is, an
aggregation of the plurality of base stations
communicating with the mobile station (30), based on a
condition of a radio transmission path between the mobile
station (30) and each base station (11-29), and combines
information received by the plurality of base stations (15,
19, 20, 24) that belong to the virtual base station group
at a base station included in the virtual base station
group, characterized in that the network (10) connects the
plurality of base stations (11-29) non-hierarchically,
characterized in that the base station transmits combined
information to the second station through the network (10). 
     In such a system, the base stations (15, 19, 20,
24) belonging to the virtual base station group are not
limited to specific base stations when the mobile station
(30) moves in the communication service area. Accordingly,
communication between a moving mobile station (30) and the
base stations (11-29) is stabilized. Additionally, a
single base station belonging to the virtual base station
group executes processes related to communication between
the mobile station (30) and the second station.
Accordingly, execution of such processes is not
concentrated in a single communication node, even if the
number of base stations placed in the communication
service area increases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a motor controlling system for an individual-spindle-drive

controllers with a memory backup function for set values required to control motors,
the motor controllers each controlling a corresponding driving motor for each
processing unit of the textile machine. Motor controllers 30 each control a
corresponding one of driving motors 2, and a master controller 40 solely controls all
the motor controllers 30. A microcomputer 41 of the master controller 40 has a
memory 43 always retaining set values. When the master controller 40 is activated
and when it receives a predetermined signal from any of the motor controllers 30, the
master controller 40 transmits the corresponding set values retained in the memory
43, to the motor controller 30, which then stores the values in a memory of a
microcomputer 31 (Fig. 1).
