Patent EP-1225716-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SNAWERDT PETER
IPC: H04B10/152
Filed: 2002-01-12
Abstract: A fiber optic data transmission system includes a transmitter having a laser emitting a
continuous wave light, the transmitter including a phase modulator phase modulating
the continuous wave light and a control circuit controlling the phase modulator as a
function of an electronic input data stream having a time delay, so as to create a
phase-modulated optical signal. An optical fiber transmits the phase-modulated
optical signal. A receiver includes an interferometer for receiving the phase-modulated
optical signal, the interferometer having a first arm and a second arm, the
second arm being longer than the first arm. The interferometer thus has an
interferometric delay corresponding to the time delay and a phase difference imparted
by the first and second arms. The control circuit can impart a phase to represent a
binary zero or one as a function of the phase difference.

Abstract: An optical disk includes a feature forming area (11)
and a criterion recording area (12). The feature forming area
11 is an area provided with physical features used for determining
whether it is an authorized optical disk or not. The criterion
recording area (12) is an area having recorded therein the data
of a determination criterion, i.e., a criterion by which it is
determined whether the optical disk has been produced in an
authorized manner or not on the basis of the physical feature.
An optical disk reproduction apparatus detects the physical
features provided in the feature forming area (11), and reads the
determination criterion recorded in the criterion recording area
(12). Furthermore, based on the determination criterion which
has been read, the optical disk reproduction apparatus determines
whether or not the detected physical features are those provided
for an authorized optical disk. Thus, the optical disk
reproduction apparatus can determine whether or not the optical
disk has been copied in an unauthorized manner.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a garbage collector that uses an LRU algorithm to free memory from an XML DOM tree active in an application cache. According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, a threshold for the amount of memory permitted to reside in an application cache is set. Then, a garbage collector removes entries from the cache until it falls below the threshold. In one or more embodiments, a node table is used. When nodes are added to the XML DOM tree in the application cache the node table is updated. When the threshold for the amount of memory permitted to reside in the application cache is exceeded, the garbage collector applies an LRU algorithm uses the node table to determine which nodes to remove from the application cache. In one embodiment, the LRU algorithm scans the node table to determine the least recently used node in the table by examining time stamp entries in the table. Then, the algorithm removes that node and repeats the process until the XML DOM tree uses less memory in the cache than the threshold.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel methods for
diagnosing benign prostatic diseases (BPD), such as benign
prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, or glandular atrophy, in
a male human patient without requiring a biopsy. The total
prostate specific antigen (PSA) level in the blood or serum
of the patient is measured. If the patient has a total PSA
level of between about 2.5 ng/ml and 10.0 ng/ml, then the
free PSA level in the blood or serum of the patient is
measured. The proportion of free PSA to total PSA is
calculated. If this proportion is equal to or greater than
about 25%, then the patient is diagnosed as having BPD.
Optionally, if the patient has a total PSA level of between
10.1 ng/ml and 20.0 ng/ml, then the free PSA level in the
blood or serum of the patient can also be measured. The
proportion of free PSA to total PSA is calculated. If this
proportion is equal to or greater than about 25%, then the
