Patent EP-1272950-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CROUHY MICHEL
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2000-12-07
Abstract: A method creates an adjusted credit risk transition matrix and related matrices. The method uses the steps of obtaining a real probability measure (<i>P</i>) transition matrix, and adjusting the (<i>P</i>) transition matrix to be consistent with default probabilities under martingale measure (<i>Q</i>) by making the last column (default probabilities) in the (<i>P</i>) transition matrix consistent with default probabilities calculated under (<i>Q</i>). The method further scales the other entries in the transition matrix (<i>P</i>) to compensate for the adjustment while retaining the relative weights among non-default classes from the (<i>P</i>) transition matrix in the adjusted transition matrix. A credit risk model for the analysis of complex credit instrument implements the method. The adjusted transition matrix may be for use in analysing complex credit instruments. The model may be implemented in computer software on a computer readable medium. The adjusted transition matrix may be used to price credit swaps or value credit instruments. The model may have a simulation engine to generate valuation scenarios based on the adjusted transition matrix. The simulation engine may generate scenarios based on a Monte Carlo method. The model may be extended for the risk analysis of complex portfolios of credit instruments with stochastic interest and foreign exchange rates. The model may have a Monte Carlo simulation engine to generate valuation scenarios based on the joint distribution of interest rates, spreads, foreign exchange rates and obligors' credit migrations consistent with obtained or adjusted (<i>P</i>) transition matrix.

Abstract: An administrator is required to prepare in
advance LU as a pool area when a user storage area is
set to a storage. LU configuration is generally
cumbersome and it is not easy for a general user to
configure it. A pool manager 1 (311) and a storage 1
setting utility (321) in a management console 1 (301)
communicate with a program in a storage 1 (101). The
storage 1 (101) sets a pool area having a designated
capacity. In response to a volume forming request from
the management console 1 (301), the storage 1 (101)
sets a designated volume by setting the designated
volume as a used capacity of the set pool area. When a
volume is formed, a policy is designated to select a
storage area having a corresponding attribute from the
pool area.

Abstract: A walk behind self-propelled crawler snowplow includes
a snowplow mechanism (13) disposed on a front portion of a
vehicle body, an engine (14) disposed on a longitudinal central
portion of the vehicle body for driving the snowplow mechanism,
a left crawler belt (11L) and a right crawler belt (11R)
disposed on a left side and a right side, respectively, of the
vehicle body, and left and right electric motors (21L, 21R)
disposed on a rear portion of the vehicle body for driving the
left and right crawler belts, respectively. With this
arrangement, the crawler snowplow has a good weight balance such
that the load or weight of the vehicle body is born evenly by
the crawler belts. Since the snowplow mechanism and the crawler
belts are driven separately by different power sources, the
crawler snowplow can exhibit a good traveling performance
regardless of the load exerted on the snowplow mechanism.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for downlink
bandwidth allocation. The method allocates (302) subclass
entries in an ordered list (200) (which may be organized as a
table, for example). Each entry (210-214) generally
corresponds to one of several predetermined cell subclasses,
and the allocation reserves a total number of each subclass
entry in the ordered list according to a predetermined amount
of bandwidth desired for each cell subclass. The subclasses
may be associated with factors such as coding rate, downlink
beam area, virtual paths or virtual circuits, quality of
service parameters, and the like. The method then examines
(304) each subclass entry in the ordered list and selects
(306) a cell from a cell memory (which may be a queue) that
matches the subclass entry. The matched cell is then
transmitted (308). The method may also allocate sets of
subclass entries in groups corresponding to a frame size and
dynamically update (310) the ordered list during operation of
the cell switch.

Abstract: The present invention provides a composite material having comparatively high thermal conductivity and a small coefficient of thermal expansion, which is low cost and preferable as a heatsink material. A graphite powder and an alloy powder, whose main constituent is Ag and Cu, and including Ti, etc., which is selected from the elements belonging to 4A, 5A and 6A groups, are blended together, and are heated at a higher temperature than the melting point of the alloy in a vacuum state or in a gas atmosphere of He, Ar or hydrogen. A coating layer of metal carbide such as TiC is formed on the surface of the graphite grains, and at the same time, they are transformed into a sintered body. The composite material thus obtained is such that the relative density thereof is 70% or more, thermal conductivity thereof is 220 W/m·K or more at room temperature, and the mean coefficient of thermal expansion from the room temperature to 200°C is 5 through 15 x 10 -6 /°C. Therefore, the composite material is best suitable as heatsink members for semiconductors. In addition, carbide powder such as carbon fibers or SiC may be used instead of graphite powder.

comprising a plurality of Mobile Switching Centers (MSCs).
Each MSC is connected by respective interfaces to a
broadband packet network used for the transfer of bearer
traffic between the MSCs, and controls wireless
communications with a respective plurality of wireless
transceivers. The switched telephone network and the

respective current MSC controlling communications with the
wireless transceiver. The call manager is adapted to:
query the location register to obtain the information
identifying the current MSC respecting the selected
wireless transceiver; and enable a communications path
across the broadband packet network between an inbound
media gateway and the current MSC. The advantages include
simplified routing, congestion reduction and reduced cost
of infrastructure to support a rapidly expanding wireless
subscriber base.

Abstract: A matched filter requiring no high-speed processor and which consumes less power is disclosed. Partial filters 301-30 N obtained by dividing number of matched filter taps by N are provided with a controller 341 for controlling which partial filters are enabled. The controller 341 is supplied with maximum amount of delay of an input signal and with symbol timing. On the basis of the maximum amount of delay, the controller 341 enables only the minimum number of partial filters 301-30 n that are capable of executing an amount of computation that is required in one symbol period. The enabled partial filters are used multiple number of times per symbol period and the output, each time, integrated sample by sample. Since the disabled partial filters will not operate, it is possible to reduce power consumption and computation time.
