Patent EP-0890267-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HULYALKAR SAMIR N
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1997-12-11
Abstract: A protocol, method, and apparatus for managing network communications are disclosed which are particularly well suited for ATM communications across a wireless medium. Contiguous time slots within a frame are allocated to each node having traffic to send. Each node is assured a nominal bandwidth, and excess bandwidth is distributed by demand. The allocation of excess bandwidth can be dependent upon the size of the buffer at each node, as well as the time-criticality of each message. Nodes communicate their requests for allocation by appending such control information to the first of their transmitted packets. The allocation, of each node's transmit and receive time slots, is transmitted to all the nodes at the beginning of each frame. Thereafter, each node need not participate on the network until their allocated time periods, thereby allowing portable devices to enter inactive states to conserve power. The network is operated in a connection mode; connections are established in a relatively non-interfering manner by the use of periodically occuring beacons. Inactive, unconnected, nodes need only monitor the network during these beacon periods, further allowing for power conservation.

Abstract: Das Verfahren bzw. die Anordnung erweitern die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der Fluoreszenz-Korrelations-Spektroskopie. Die Anordnung umfaßt einen konfokalen optischen Aufbau, einen gepulsten Laser (20) zur Anregung und Komponenten zur Detektion (8) und Auswertung (27) von Meßsignalen für das zeitkorrelierte Einzelphotonenzählen. Die Daten werden derart aufgenommen, daß zu jedem detektierten Photon sowohl sein Detektionszeitpunkt im Mikrosekundenbereich als auch seine Fluoreszenz-Verzögerungszeit im Nanosekundenbereich aufgenommen wird. Diese maximale Information über jedes detektierte Photon wird dazu verwendet, durch zeitkorreliertes Einzelphotonenzählen bestimmbare Parameter jedem detektierten Photon zuzuordnen und daraus Korrelationsfunktionen für die bestimmten Parameter zu erstellen. Auf diese Weise erhält man Korrelationsfunktionen von Parametern bzw. selektive Korrelationsfunktionen z.B. für einzelne Fluoreszenzlebensdauerkomponenten. Ferner kann das Verfahren bzw. die Anordnung dazu verwendet werden, einzelne Moleküle zu detektieren und Korrelationsfunktionen nur für diejenigen Signalabschnitte zu berechnen, die einzeln vorliegenden Partikeln zugeordnet wurden. Dadurch ist es möglich, das Signal-Rausch-Verhältnis bei extrem verdünnten Lösungen zu verbessern.

Abstract: A local timing unit (in 116) is synchronized to a central timing unit (in
101) in a first switching system to determine the difference in timing between a
connected external link (103) and the local timing unit. This timing difference is then
transmitted to the central timing unit which utilizes this information to adjust a
frequency synthesizer that outputs the frequency of the external link to a second
switching system (140). The local timing units are synchronized to the central timing
unit via multiple timing paths set up through switching units (120-129) within a
switching network of the first switching system. The timing difference transmitted from
the local timing unit is transmitted over a plurality of control paths (104, 108) through
the switching units. Each switching unit switches one bit of data for each group of data
being received on each of the external links connected to the first switching system.
Any of the external links connected to the first switching system can be utilized to
provide timing information for the second switching system.

Abstract: A detachable retainer (3) for optical fibers, in particular optical fiber ribbons (1), is
intended to be used in welding operations. The retainer generally has the structure of a
rectangular block (19) having lids (17) that can be swung up and down and are arranged at
the top side of the block for clamping the optical fibers. On the underside of the retainer
(3) a cylindrical recess (31) is provided, along the transversal diameter of which a more
shallow groove (33) is provided which extends up to the longitudinal sides of the retainer.
The corresponding flat surface, where the retainer (3) is to be placed, has a cylindrical,
short projection (35) or boss having an upper edge with a large bevel (39) and a
transversal pin (37) or transversal rib. The pin (37) or rib has a close or tight fit to the
corresponding groove (33) in the underside of the retainer whereas the boss (35) and the
cylindrical recess (31) have a fit with a considerable play. This results in that the retainer
(3) can be easily placed at its position by the boss and the cylindrical recess guiding the retainer
to an approximate position and then a more accurate position in the longitudinal
direction is obtained, when the pin (37) or the rib enters the groove. A limited movability
is obtained in the lateral direction, which can be required in the case where the optical
fibers are to be fitted into stationary V-grooves.

Abstract: A semaphore 120 for controlling access to a shared resource in an
information handling system is implemented using an atomic operation that
compares an operand with a comparison value and, if the operand is equal
to the comparison value, replaces the compared operand and up to three
additional operands with replacement values. The semaphore has a first
semaphore field 415 containing a value 435 and a sequence count 430 and a
second semaphore field 420 containing a pointer 440 to a queue for the
semaphore. The queue has zero or more entries 450 corresponding to
waiters for the semaphore, each entry with a next entry having a pointer
455 to that next entry. To implement the semaphore, a previous value of
the first semaphore field is saved as a comparison value 1310. A first
replacement value 1320 containing an incremented sequence count is
generated for the first semaphore field as a first operand in accordance
with the specified operation. A second replacement value for the second
semaphore field and a third replacement value 1330 for one of the queue
entries are generated as second and third operands if the queue is being
modified. The current value of the first semaphore field is thereafter
compared with the comparison value including the sequence count to see if
the current value matches the comparison value. If it does, then,
atomically with the comparing step, the first operand is replaced with
the first replacement value and, if the queue is being modified, one or
both of the second and third operands are replaced with their
corresponding replacement values. If the current value of the first
semaphore field does not match the comparison value, the semaphore
operation is retried, using a newly saved value of the semaphore field as
a comparison value.
