Abstract: The arrangement has a wedge (10) which can be applied to a bonding point (14) and an associated optical conductor (19). The conductor is coupled to a laser light (23) source and directed towards a section of bonding wire (13) beneath the wedge between it and the bonding position. The conductor is fed through the wedge to near the bonded wire section so that only this section is heated for thermo-compression bonding when laser energy is coupled in. An Independent claim is also included for a method of thermo-compression bonding.

Abstract: An improved wireless information processing apparatus that is
connectable to an appropriate one of the access points prepared by an
internet provider even under a mobile environment is disclosed. When a
user of this terminal requests connection to the Internet, this terminal
extracts a CS-ID from notification information transmitted from a
wireless base station and, then, retrieves its own association table to
acquire a telephone number of an access point nearest to the current
location. Then, this terminal dials-up to the acquired access point to
establish an internet connection. As a result, this terminal is allowed
to download an electronic mail destined therefor, a Web page (HTML file
or the like) stored in a disk of a given Web server and the like.
Alternatively, this terminal is allowed to transmit data contained
therein (or a file and/or an electronic mail edited on this terminal) to
another computer system connected to the Internet, or to upload such data
to a disk of a given Web server.

Abstract: A computer system employs a hierarchical ring structure
for communication. Computer system elements are configured
into modules with ring interface hardware, and the modules
are coupled to one or more rings. Bridge modules may be
included for transmitting between rings in the hierarchy.
The rings are time division multiplexed, and each time slot
on a ring carries a frame. According to an address carried
within the frame, bridge modules determine whether or not to
transmit a frame circulating on a source ring onto a target
ring. If the address of the frame indicates a module upon
the source ring, the bridge module retransmits the frame on
the source ring. Otherwise, the bridge module transmits the
frame on the target ring. The bridge module operates in
this fashion at any level of the hierarchy. The owner of a
time slot on a ring is permitted to release the time slot
for use by other modules. To reclaim a time slot, the owner
marks the time slot owned. The module using the time slot,
upon detecting the owned mark, removes the frame from the
time slot and responds with a null frame. If a module
detects a frame to which that module is to respond but the
module's buffer is full, the module may retransmit the frame
upon the source ring. The time slot carrying the frame
effectively serves as a queue position. According to one
embodiment, rings comprise optical links.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a centralized routing engine that is able to assist gateways in making routing decisions for calls being placed in an IP network environment. Types of calls include voice, fax, video, etc. The routing engine provides significant flexibility to the gateways by allowing the gateways to designate preferences that define operational limits or requirements. A source gateway operator may set preferences such as the maximum price that is willing to be paid for a call, the maximum delay that will be tolerated and the maximum autonomous system hop count that will be tolerated. A destination gateway operator is likely only to be concerned with setting price schedules as preferences. Gateway operators may also set "preference criteria,' which define the circumstances in which a certain set of preferences is to be applied. Based on preferences and preference criteria, the routing engine is able to locate destination gateways that are eligible to terminate a voice over telephony IP call. The routing engine provides a prioritized list of eligible destination gateways to the source gateway. The source gateway then works through the prioritized list and attempts to set up the voice over IP telephony call with each eligible destination gateway, until the call is established.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a sealed polyolefin
article of a plurality of polyolefin resin films or sheets with
the periphery of the adjacent surfaces of the films or sheets
being sealed. The method comprises sealing the films or sheets
by high-frequency dielectric heating, and is characterized in
that (a) the error in the gap between the surface of each pressing
edge of the mold and the surface of the level block is controlled
within a range of ± 100 µm, (b) the mold is heated at a temperature
ranging between 30°C and a temperature lower by 10°C than the
melting point or the thermosoftening point of the films or sheets,
while the position-dependent temperature distribution and the
time-dependent temperature change at the pressing edges of the
mold are kept controlled to fall within a range of a
predetermined temperature ± 3°C, (c) a pad having a dielectric
loss coefficient of at least 0.01 at 23°C at 1 MHz is positioned
on the level block, and the films or sheets are mounted on the
pad, and (d) a high-frequency field is applied to the films or
sheets being pressed by the mold, in such a manner that no-load
current is first applied to the films or sheets at the start
of heating them and thereafter the voltage for the current to
them is increased up to a level lower than 95 % of the dielectric
breakdown voltage of the films or sheets thereby to attain the
intended sealing of the films or sheets. The sealed article 
has a sealing strength of at least 25 N/15 mm width and a white
light transmittance of at least 50 % at its sealed site.
