Abstract: A method of generating a threshold array made up of a plurality of dot profiles, each of which is made up of a plurality of black or white pixels, certain of the pixels in certain of the dot profiles being constrained to be either black or white. The steps of the method are: (1) assigning a value to each unconstrained pixel of one of the dot profiles, each such value being interpretable as black or white; (2) based upon whether a function of the values of the pixels within a predetermined area of the dot profile is different from a predetermined desired value, adjusting the value assigned to a particular pixel within the predetermined area such that in a fraction of the cases, the adjusted value is interpretable as the opposite color from the unadjusted value; and (3) repeating step (2) for additional predetermined areas of the dot profile until the entire dot profile has been covered; and repeating steps (1) through (3) for each of the dot profiles in the threshold array, whereby the dot profiles in the resulting threshold array are substantially free of annoying visible patterns.

Abstract: In a PHS terminal (4a), a system calling code for identifying a system in which the PHS terminal (4a) is registered and a slave ID number for discriminating the PHS terminal are stored in advance in an ID chip (28). While a user is out, he or she sets the ID chip (28) in another PHS terminal (4b) which does not have the same system calling code as that of the PHS terminal (4a). When the user performs an operation for peer-to-peer communication on the PHS terminal (4a), the PHS terminal (4b) is called using a controlling physical slot. The PHS terminal (4b) recognizes that it is called by discriminating a system calling code and a PS calling number of the physical slot on the basis of the system calling code of the ID chip (28), and then transmits a response signal to the PHS terminal (4a) based on the system calling code and PS calling number of the ID chip (28). Thus, peer-to-peer communication can be performed even between radio communication terminal (4)s which do not have the same system calling code.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for rate allocation within the individual switches of a communications network implementing a rate-based congestion control approach for best-effort traffic. The methodology of the invention centers on a new rate allocation algorithm which performs its allocation functions independently of the number of connections sharing a network link and therefore performs an allocation in Θ(1) time. With that implementation simplicity, the algorithm is particularly advantageous for implementation in ATM switches carrying a large number of virtual channels. The algorithm operates on bandwidth information supplied from the source of a connection in special cells or packet headers, such as ATM Resource Management cells. By storing parameter values for other connections sharing a network link, the algorithm requires a constant number of simple computations for each request from a connection for a bandwidth allocation. The algorithm is asynchronous and distributed in nature and converges to the  max-min  fairness allocation. G60

Abstract: An improved above-the-knee prosthesis with an anatomically configured socket is characterized by one or more contours which correspond to a pre-selected anatomical contour of the upper or lower residual thigh. By exaggerating the depth of the contour in the socket as compared with the corresponding contour in the thigh, the socket grips the residual thigh and maintains the femur in proper alignment. The new channels and contours allow the patient using the socket to have improved rotational support and control over the prosthesis by providing structures which the muscles of the upper and lower residual thigh can "grip." The socket snugly contains the thigh and maintains it, throughout the gait cycle, in a proper anatomical position. This fit increases the comfort of the prosthesis and minimizes gait abnormalities common with other artificial limbs. The increased support helps maintain the physical condition of the residual limb. The extended and new channels allow the muscles of the patient's residual thigh to flex and contract against and around the channels, thereby reducing muscle atrophy.

Abstract: The method involves reading an identity characteristic stored in a module or chip card during manufacture when the module is used in a terminal. A monitoring characteristic stored in the terminal is the same for all terminals and is changed from time to time. A variable monitoring characteristic stored in the module is read by the terminal and compared with the one stored in the terminal. If they differ a central computer is informed and the module characteristic is overwritten with the one in the terminal. The warnings are recorded against identity characteristics and the use of a module blocked when the number of associated warnings exceeds a threshold.
