Abstract: A plasma display panel ("PDP") is provided with a protrusion lower than
barrier ribs on an inner surface of a back plate substrate, and a phosphor layer
formed on a rib surface within a unitary emission unit including a surface of the
protrusion, thereby realizing the PDP of high brightness, high luminous efficiency
and long operating life. Also, the PDP has a structure, in which a portion (15) of the
inner surface of the substrate (10) is opened to a discharge space directly or through a
protective layer (12), so as to improve power consumption remarkably. Further, the
invention provides a production of the PDP with superior whiteness by way of
controlling a balance of each color with shape of the respective protrusions.
Moreover, an electrode can be formed easily and precisely on an upper part of the
protrusion by providing a sloped surface for at least one end in a longitudinal
direction of the protrusion. As a result, the invention provides the PDP that is of
low power consumption, high brightness, high luminous efficiency, and is capable
of performing a speedy and stable electric-discharge and displaying white color of
high color temperature.

Abstract: Informing the user when consumables and/or customer replaceable units will have to be resupplied, changed and/or replaced, relative to the jobs sent to the image forming system, is a beneficial way to avoid unnecessary printing delays. When a job is added to a job queue or repositioned within the job queue, a warning can be associated with that job (S900), and displayed to the user. With this information, the user can pre-emptively add a consumable and/or (S400) replace a customer replaceable unit to avoid delays and maintain productivity. Alternatively, if such a system fault would occur prior to an urgent job reaching the top of the job queue, the user can manipulate the order and/or presence of the various jobs in the queue to ensure the high-priority job is completed before the consumable is fully exhausted and/or the customer replaceable unit reaches the end of its useful life.

discharge (ESD) protection (24) at said connection pad, and a differential
amplifier (26) with a differential input transistor pair (261), an output buffer stage

differential amplifier, a low-pass filter circuit (C RF , R RF ) is connected to a signal
path between the connection pad and the input of the differential amplifier for
attenuating a RF interference signal at the input of the differential pair in the
amplifier, and therefore also the output voltage drop caused by a peak detection
operation of the differential input transistor pair will stay lower.

Abstract: In a multi-user communications system in which users contend for limited total bandwidth, a bandwidth allocation method operates as follows. Each user is classified into one of a plurality of ranked classes. Each class contains an active pool (2), containing users which are queued to receive an allocated amount of bandwidth to transmit and/or receive a quantity of data, and an inactive pool, containing users which are not currently seeking to transmit and/or receive. In each class, the user at the head of the active pool queue uses its allocated bandwidth and then moves to the back of the queue if it has more data to transmit and/or receive; otherwise it moves to the inactive pool. In each class, if a user in the inactive pool contends for a bandwidth allocation, it is moved into the active pool queue. Preferably, different bandwidth access priorities are provided in different classes, so that users seeking bandwidth-critical communications, such as voice channels, may be placed in a high-priority class.
