Patent EP-0398494-A3 (EP)
IPC: G06F15/177
Filed: 1990-04-10
Abstract: The disclosed arrangement maintains the latest file attributes such as 
file size, modify time, and access time, at the server data processing 
system in a distributed data processing system. The server data 
processing system combines information requested from the client data 
processing system that has permission to write to the file with 
information periodically received from other client data processing 
systems that may be extending the same file by mapping the file into 
their own virtual address space. In this way, the server can maintain 
the latest file size attribute even when some clients are extending the 
file through system calls and other clients are extending the file 
through mapped access. To maintain a latest modify time and access 
time, the server keeps a modify count and access count. The client data 
processing systems periodically send to the server data processing the 
modify count and access count that have been incremented whenever the 
client data processing system modifies and accesses the file. The 
server data processing system compares the counts at the server with the 
counts received from the clients to determine a latest corresponding 
modify time and access time.

Abstract: In a suspension in which the motor-compressor 
ensemble is suspended through helical springs (R) arranged 
between a support (S) of the compressor tub walls (C) and 
a point of the compressor body (E), the border of an open­
ing (A) for receiving the spring end is formed with a cir­
cumferential inclined surface with two ends (2,3) mutually 
close, spaced apart in the axial direction of the opening 
and connected by a short run (3a), and a tenon (3b,4,6) is 
formed to protrude from the upper face of the support (S), 
forming a stop for a bent end (5) of the helical spring 
(R) to limit the introduction length of the said spring in 
the support (S). The borders of the opening (A) form an 
inclined surface, either straight or arcuate, to rest be­
tween the spring turns. It is thus avoided the tapping or 
beating of the spring turns onto the support, and the thus 
arising noise.

Title: Method and apparatus for coding and decoding of an analog low frequency signal into a pcm format, especially for transmitting speech information in intercom apparatus
IPC: H04B14/04
Filed: 1992-02-29
Abstract: A method and a device for coding and decoding an analog low-frequency signal into a PCM format, especially for transmitting speech information in a simplex or duplex intercom system. The low-frequency signal is re-coded through A/D conversion into a digital signal, where an 8-bit data word corresponds to each sampling value. Each data word is transmitted in a time slot of a PCM frame on the PCM multiplex line. On reception, the data words are decoded through D/A conversion into an analog low-frequency signal. For the transmission of speech signals with a bandwidth between 7 and 8 kHz, the sampling frequency of the A/D-D/A conversion is twice the PCM synchronisation frequency and, on transmission following coding, every other data word is temporarily stored until the following data word is available and the consecutive data words are sent to the PCM multiplex line in such a way that they occupy two consecutive time slots. On reception, the data word obtained from the first time slot is in each case decoded immediately, while the data word obtained from the second time slot is temporarily stored until the decoding of the preceding data word is completed. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1995-06-21
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for using information about a calling party's
identity or the importance of a call to control the call waiting signal played to a called
party that is busy on another call. Upon determining that a called communication station
is busy on another call, information about the identity of the calling party is obtained
from the calling station. This information is processed to determine call routing
treatment, and particularly to determine whether a call waiting signal is to be played for
the call and, if so, what type of call waiting signaling is to be played. The called party
can determine information about the identity of the calling party from the call waiting
signaling, and thus determine whether to interrupt the call in progress to respond to the
call waiting signal. In one exemplary embodiment of the invention, information about
the calling party's identity is used to provide a distinctive call waiting signal which
identifies the caller as being a particular individual or as a member of a particular group
of individuals. In another exemplary embodiment of the invention, information about the
calling party's identity controls whether a call waiting signal is played to the called party
or suppressed.

Abstract: Auxiliary lines (5) are formed under pixel electrodes
so as to be parallel to signal lines (2). The auxiliary
lines (5) are connected to the signal lines (2) at one point
for each pixel (4). This permits a voltage to be kept
applying to a signal line (2) even if a disconnection
defect occurs in the signal line (2) by making a circuit
around a disconnected portion by the auxiliary line (5).
Moreover, if a leakage defect occurs at a crossing
point between the scanning line (1) and the signal line (2),
the signal line (2) would be cut off on both sides of the
scanning line (1). This also permits a voltage to be kept
applying to the signal line (2) by the auxiliary line (5). By
setting the auxiliary lines (5) narrower than the signal
line (2), a reduction in aperture ratio can be suppressed,
and by adopting the auxiliary lines (5) made of a
transparent electrically conductive material such as
ITO, etc., it is possible to prevent the reduction in
aperture ratio due to the auxiliary lines (5). The
described arrangement permits a generation of a line-shaped
defect due to disconnection to be prevented
while improving an aperture ratio of the pixel with
ease.
