Inventor: MULLER SHIMON
IPC: G06F13/16
Filed: 1998-06-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing a buffer memory in a packet switch that is shared between multiple ports in a network system. The apparatus comprises a plurality of slow data port interfaces configured to transmit data at a first data rate between a slow data port and the buffer memory and a plurality of fast data port interfaces configured to transmit data at a second data rate between a fast data port and the buffer memory. A first level arbiter is coupled to the plurality of slow data port interfaces. The first level arbiter chooses an access request of one the slow data ports and outputs the access request. A second level arbiter is coupled to the plurality of fast data port interfaces and to the output of the first level arbiter. The second level arbiter chooses an access request from among a plurality access requests from the fast data port interfaces and the access request from the first level arbiter, and forwards the chosen access request to the memory.

Abstract: Procédés et appareil de mise en oeuvre efficace d'une mise en forme spectrale sur la base du codage en treillis de trames avec une profondeur d'anticipation variable. Traditionnellement, une profondeur d'anticipation entraîne une phase de démarrage suivie par une phase à état constant, ce qui produit une complexité accrue. L'uniformité dans la mise en oeuvre de délais d'anticipation variables est possible grâce à une voie prédéterminée dans le treillis pendant la phase de démarrage. Le procédé préféré de mise en oeuvre de la mise en forme spectrale sur la base du treillis permet une réduction des besoins de mémoire et de calcul.

Abstract: A transmitting end transmits to a receiving end event data of an
MIDI type with time data indicative of a timing of processing the event
data at the receiving end (steps 303-305, 403-405), and waveform data and
second time data indicative of a timing to process the waveform data at the
receiving end (steps 407, 415). The receiving end receives and stores the
event data and first time data in a music data buffer (step 814). When the
receiving end receives the waveform data, it stores it in a waveform buffer
(step 706). When the receiving end receives the second time data, it starts
reproduction of the waveform data stored in the waveform buffer at a
timing specified by the received second time data (step 906). The start
time is incremented at predetermined timings (step 602). The event data
stored in the music buffer is reproduced at a timing determined based on
the start time and first time data stored in the music buffer (step 604). As
a result, the receiving end is capable of processing a large amount of
waveform data, etc., at an appropriate timing irrespective of its reception
route.

Abstract: An imaging member, such as a negative-working printing plate,
can be prepared using a hydrophilic heat-sensitive imaging layer comprised of a
hydrophilic heat-sensitive, crosslinked vinyl polymer containing recurring
organoonium groups. The imaging member can also include a photothermal
conversion material such as carbon black or an infrared radiation absorbing dye.
The heat-sensitive polymer has recurring units containing an organoammonium,
organophosphonium or organosulfonium group that reacts to provide increased
oleophilicity (ink receptivity) in response to heat. Heat is preferably generated by
laser irradiation in the IR region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The heat-sensitive
polymer is considered "switchable" in response to heat. The imaging
member can be used in printing methods without the usual wet processing steps.
