Abstract: A wavelength equalizer and method. The wavelength
equalizer comprises an input waveguide (302), an output
waveguide (322), a wavelength separation device (310), and a
micromirror array (314). The wavelength separation device
(310) divides the input beam of light into sub-beams. A
first sub-array of the micromirrors in the micromirror array
(314) are operable between a first and second position. The
first position directing light in the sub-beam to the output
waveguide (322), and the second position excluding the light
in the sub-beam from the output waveguide (322). The method
of equalizing a plurality of components of an optical input
signal comprises: separating the components, directing each
component to a sub-array of a micromirror array, positioning
micromirrors in each sub-array such that micromirrors in a
first position direct incident light to an output waveguide
and micromirrors in a second position do not, and combining
the sub-beams into an output beam of light.

Abstract: A method and system for providing concatenative speech uses a speech synthesis
input to populate a triphone-indexed database that is later used for searching and retrieval
to create a phoneme string acceptable for a text-to-speech operation. Prior to initiating
the "real time" synthesis, a database is created of all possible triphone contexts by
inputting a continuous stream of speech. The speech data is then analyzed to identify all
possible triphone sequences in the stream, and the various units chosen for each context.
During a later text-to-speech operation, the triphone contexts in the text are identified and
the triphone-indexed phonemes in the database are searched to retrieve the best-matched
candidates.

Abstract: An apparatus for winding tape includes a cantilevered support arm for supporting in
a winding position a core onto which the tape is to be wound with a surface drive roller
pivotal to a position engaging the outside of the package for causing rotation of the
package in the driving position about a longitudinal axis of the arm. A lay-on roller
directs the tape on to the core such that the rotation of the core acts to wind the tape into
the package. The lay-on roller is driven by a lead screw in movement longitudinally of
the axis to form a generally cylindrical package structure of the tape. With the lay-on
roller in a retracted position to one side, the finished package on the support arm is
moved by a rotatable drive head rotating about a vertical axis from the winding position
away from the drive roller to a doffing position and simultaneously an empty core is
moved from the doffing position over the drive roller to the winding position. The
apparatus includes four winding positions at the comers of a rectangular frame (11,12,13) so that
each package at each of the positions is moved simultaneously to the doffing position
outside the frame for ready access by an operator.

Abstract: A system for automated registration of digital content, i.e. a work in electronic
form is described, requiring no special human interaction from the content publisher.
Before publication, the digital content is electronically and automatically sent to a
trusted third party, which generates a time stamped and digitally signed certificate
which can be used as proof of publication date. 
     A method is described to 'tag' digital content with an icon and hyperlink that
can be clicked in order to properly obtain reproduction rights to digital content,
according to pricing and rules (e.g. geographical restrictions, different license rules for
different time frames, purchase quantity dependent pricing schedules) set by the
publisher. The third party copyright buyer then receives a digitally signed copyright
certificate, granting the use of the work according to certain rules and restrictions to
the copyrighted material. This certificate constitutes the written permission from the
publisher, necessary to reproduce the material and to prove the presence of a license.
The system is preferably operated by a  trusted third party.   
     A method is also described for on-line and real-time registration of
works in electronic format having digital content in which intellectual property rights
such as copyright can subside, resulting in a digitally signed, time stamped certificate,
the validity of which can be verified on-line. The method may provide the possibility
for a content owner to specify the rules, pricing details and behavior for on-line sales
of limited reproduction rights.

Title: Relocation of serving radio network controller with signaling of linking of transport channels

IPC: H04W36/12
Filed: 2001-03-27
Abstract: In a radio access network, a SRNC relocation procedure ( 100, 100 ') is performed for relocating a role of a serving radio network controller (SRNC) for a telecommunications service involving a user equipment unit (UE) from a first radio network controller ( 26 <SUB>1</SUB>) to a second radio network controller ( 26 <SUB>2</SUB>). In accordance various modes of the SRNC relocation procedure, the first radio network controller signals to the second radio network controller information for linking transport channels utilized for the service with a radio access bearer (RAB) for the service. In a first mode of the invention, the signaling links a dedicated transport channel (DCH) utilized for the service with a radio access bearer (RAB) for the service. In second through fourth modes of the invention, during the SRNC relocation procedure the signaling links uplink and downlink transport channel (TrCH) IDs with the radio access bearer (RAB) identifier. Preferably but not exclusively, in accordance with the SRNC relocation procedure the signaling of the information for linking the transport channels with the radio access bearer (RAB) for the service occurs at a time when a user equipment unit (UE) involved in the service is not changing cells, with the signaling being routed via a core network. Advantageously, the SRNC relocation procedure of the invention allows the target SRNC node to utilize, after the relocation, the same transport channels as before the location, without having to make new allocations of transport channels.
