Abstract: A backlit label includes a transparent element (200) and a transflective
element (206) positioned at the backside of the transparent element (200). The
transparent element (200) passes light bi-directionally, whereas the transflective
element (206) passes light received from a first direction and reflects light received
from an opposite direction. A backlight source (220), which may or may not be
integrated with the label, produces backlighting for the label. The transflective
element (206) passes the backlight that emanates from behind out through the
transparent element (200). However, for ambient light received from in front of the
label, the transflective element (206) reflects the ambient light back out through the
transparent element (200).

Abstract: In a network system S, which includes an agent server LS
that is located between the Internet IN and a terminal T and
that relays a connection request from the terminal T to the
Internet IN, the agent server LS requests the establishment
of a connection between the terminal T and the agent server
LS and transmits to the terminal T a request signal that
includes identification information for the agent server LS.
The terminal T receives the request signal and examines the
agent server LS based on the identification information
included in the received signal. When it is concluded that
the agent server LS that transmitted the request signal is one
to which the terminal T should be connected, a connection is
established with the agent module LS that transmitted the
request signal.

Abstract: In a switching protection system, a protocol is followed by a first connection controller to help facilitate the resynchronization of the network after the failure has occurred. This protocol contains the messaging system of the ability to query and store the exact sequence of logical ports and time slots that make up the data path, as a resynchronization table coupled to the first controller. The head/ingress end of the path can receive this information during set-up and can store it both locally and in shadow locations. The system also contains the ability to distinguish between signaling and data channel failures, as signaling channel failures to do not clear cross connect data but simply leave it "ownerless". The system also contains the ability to populate the exact sequence of logical ports and time slots accumulated in the definition of the network, as the set-up message initiated by the head controller to re-claim "ownerless" cross connections contained on respective network elements. The system also facilitates the clearing of a "ownerless" cross connection after a pre-determined period of time has lapsed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dynamic contrast improvement in
video pictures is proposed. There is a strong demand for
picture contrast and high quality video. The picture
contrast can't be increased by simply increasing the video
signal amplitude because exceeding the display dynamic range
in some video scenes causes unwanted disturbing effects. 
     A basic solution for dynamic contrast improvement includes
that the video pictures are analysed framewise in real time
and the parameters of a transfer function (11) for contrast
improvement are adjusted depending on the analysis results
for the best subjective picture quality. 
     Within this basic solution it is proposed to perform a step
of adaptive signal splitting in which a noise reduced
luminance signal (Y_CORED) is generated which then is
transformed by means of the transfer function. This improves
the picture quality by reducing the noise influence
