Abstract: Dispositif de commutation optique conçu pour mettre en application une architecture de commutation sérielle pour des systèmes de communication optique multiplexés par répartition en longueur d'onde (WDM). Cette conception permet la commutation par insertion/extraction d'un canal de longueur d'onde sélectionné sans commutation d'un canal de longueur d'onde non sélectionné, ce qui évite une perte potentielle de données sur le canal non sélectionné pendant l'intervalle de commutation par insertion/extraction. Ce dispositif peut incorporer des composants à base de fibres optiques et sans fibres optiques. Cette architecture sérielle permet d'intégrer sans difficultés de nouvelles modalités de longueur d'onde et d'ajouter de nouveaux canaux de longueur d'onde.

Abstract: Provided is a system for eliminating background noise,
i.e. unwanted dots of ink in the background of a document which
is to be reproduced by a copier. An STS module collects
statistics on a stream of pixels representing an original
document generated by a scanner of the copier. The statistics
are used by an MIC module to determine a reference background
color value of the scanned document. The reference background
color value and pixel values of pixels included in the pixel
stream are compared by an RTE module and the results of
comparison are used to adjust, when necessary, the pixel values
remove the undesirable background noise.

Abstract: A dimmable ballast circuit for a gas discharge lamp comprises a
resonant load circuit (25) with a resonant inductance (26a), a resonant capacitance
(28) and circuitry for connecting to a gas discharge lamp (12). A d.c.-to-a.c.
converter circuit is coupled to the resonant load circuit for inducing a.c. current
therein, and comprises a pair of switches (20,22) serially connected between a bus
conductor (16) at a d.c. voltage and a reference conductor (18). The voltage
between a reference node and a control node of each switch determines the
conduction state of the associated switch. The respective reference nodes of the
switches are interconnected at a common node (24) through which the a.c. current
flows, and the respective control nodes of the switches are substantially directly
interconnected. A gate drive arrangement for regeneratively controlling the
switches comprises a driving inductor (26b) connected between the common node
and the control nodes and mutually coupled to the resonant inductor for sensing
current therein. A second inductor (38a) is serially connected to the driving
inductor, and together with the driving inductor is connected between the common
node and the control nodes. A clamping circuit (62) limits the voltage across the
second inductor (38a) to achieve desired lamp output, and includes a control
winding mutually coupled to the second inductor. A control circuit controls voltage
across the control winding in response to an error signal representing difference
between a user-selectable set point signal and a feedback signal representing a
time-averaged value of a lamp operating parameter.

Abstract: A simple, elementary switch fabric is provided for switching individual signals as a
composite group based on group signal status that is embedded and carried within each of
the individual signals in the group. In general, a group signal status is derived for a group
based on the signal status of each of the individual signals within that group. This group
signal status is then individually encoded and embedded in each of the individual signals in
the group. The embedded group signal status can be extracted and decoded at any point
within the transmission path, as necessary, to facilitate appropriate switching decisions.
Although each individual signal is switched independently by the elementary switch fabric,
the individual signals are effectively switched as a composite group because the switching
decision for each individual signal in the group is based on the same group signal status.
That is, individual signals in a particular group will either be selected or rejected together
as a single, composite group.

Abstract: Disclosed is a data storage system for use with a tape cartridge
storing data in a serpentine pattern on tape media, and having a memory
device for storing a device block map for the tape media. A tape drive,
or a loading mechanism, first positions the tape cartridge at memory
interface for transferring the device block map from the memory device to
a processor, and subsequently positions the tape media for reading and/or
writing. The processor processes the device block map from the memory
device for optimal retrieval of the serpentine pattern data of the tape
media. The processing of the device block map occurs while the tape
media is positioned for reading and/or writing, so that the processor
begins the retrieval reading process immediately upon the positioning of
the tape media. In another aspect of the invention, a robotic accessor
of an automated data storage library moves the tape cartridge to the tape
drive. The tape cartridge is positioned at the memory interface on the
robotic accessor, and the stored device block map is transferred from the
memory device to the processor, during the move.

Abstract: A conversion program selectively decomposes viewable files, such as
PDF files, and generates a print-structured, bi-directional stream
composed of print data objects, resource objects and command objects.
The conversion program uses a mapping table to determine which resources
have already been sent to the printer so that redundant resources are not
re-sent to the printer. The resources and page data for each page are
assembled in order and sent to the printer so that the resources
necessary to render a page precede the page data. In this manner the
printer always has the resources necessary to print each page. The print
data, resource and command objects are sent from a print server which
controls the print system to a printer by means of a containerized data
stream which is bi-directional. A reply object is used to provide
information concerning processing of the data from the print server to
the printer.
