Patent EP-1324026-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KAWAI TADASHI
IPC: C08J5/18
Filed: 2002-12-23
Abstract: There is disclosed a method of easily producing a long-lived ion sensitive film having excellent durability and used in an ion sensor. The method starts with preparing a monomer mixture consisting chiefly of monomer units including a functional group and a second group of bonded atoms. The functional group has a function of identifying a certain chemical substance. The second group can become an active species that induces a polymerization or bridging reaction by being irradiated with an electron beam or radiation. Then, the monomer mixture is irradiated with the electron beam or radiation in a low energy range. Thus, the monomer mixture is polymerized.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to providing extensible and adaptable software
communications controls for handling communication between devices. An extensible
communications control is used to communicate between a computing device (200) and a remote
communications device (150). In a computing program that has been adapted to use the extensible
communications control, information about a contact person is retrieved. From the retrieved
contact information, it is determined what types of activities may be used to communicate
with the contact person at the remote communications device. Once a communication
activity has been determined from the contact person's information, a communication request
is sent to a communication address associated with that communication activity. Upon
acceptance the extensible communications control commences communication with the
remote communications device (150).

Abstract: A method is provided for analyzing data transmission throughput in a wireless LAN of a multi sector environment. The method may include determining a sum of symbols of all sector switch guard times and propagation delay guard times of a MAC frame. The method may also include subtracting the number of determined symbols, the number of symbols of a signaling PDU and the number of symbols of a data PDU except a LCH from the number of symbols set in the MAC frame. Still further, the method may include displaying data transmission throughput by using a subtraction result value. Accordingly, by calculating the number of symbols occupied only by a LCH except sector switch guard times and propagation delay guard times, data transmission throughput can be accurately analyzed. <IMAGE>

IPC: G06F1/12

Abstract: In one form of the invention, a method for generating a local clock signal responsive to signals on a Universal Serial Bus ("USB") includes generating a frequency-bearing clock signal by a free running oscillator on an integrated circuitry chip of a device coupled to the USB. The oscillator runs at a frequency that is substantially stable but initially known with substantial inaccuracy. A single ended bit-serial signal is extracted from received signals sent by a USB host or hub and timing signals are responsively asserted. A bit pattern is detected in the single ended bit-serial signal and intervals are measured during which the timing signals are asserted. The period P of the local clock signal is adjusted responsive to one of the measured intervals. In one variant, the initial inaccuracy is at least partly because the oscillator consists solely of circuitry on the chip.
