Patent EP-0866628-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BARNICKEL DONALD J
IPC: H04J3/00
Filed: 1997-09-12
Abstract: A system and method for providing dynamic channel assignments in a
microcellular system surrounded by a macrocellular system. The method characterizes the
RF environment of the microcellular system and the macrocellular environment. Channels
are then ranked according to the signal-to-interference ratio computed from the measured
RF characteristics. A call is assigned to a highest ranked idle channel. All active calls are
monitored to ensure voice quality and call performance by forcing hand-off to another
channel before degradation occurs. In another embodiment, the system is self-configurable
to changes in the macrocellular configuration by including remote power adjustment and
remote Supervisory Audio Tone assignment functionality.

Abstract: For establishing a parent-child relationship between adjacent
network nodes interconnected by a transmission medium, a handshaking
circuit comprises a state detector for monitoring the transmission medium
to detect predetermined first and second states and a contention that occurs
when predetermined first states are simultaneously present. A state machine
asserts the first state for initiating a handshaking process and relinquishes
this state when a contention is detected. A receive count value is
continuously incremented from the instant the contention is detected to the
instant the transmission medium changes to an idle state. A transmit count
value is continuously incremented from the instant the first state is detected
to the instant the contention is detected. When the transmit count value is
greater than the receive count value, the state machine asserts the first state
again and when the transmit count value is smaller than the receive count
value, it asserts the second state.

Abstract: An encoding apparatus includes a selector (8) for
periodically selecting fields of an interlaced video
signal to be converted to respective progressive scanning
frames, by a scanning converter (1) which doubles the
number of scanning lines per field. The apparatus encodes
these frames by intra-frame encoding or unidirectional
predictive encoding using preceding ones of the frames,
and encodes the remaining fields of the video signal by
bidirectional prediction using preceding and succeeding
ones of the progressive scanning frames for reference.
The resultant code can be decoded by an inverse process
to recover the interlaced video signal, or each decoded
field can be converted to a progressive scanning frame to
thereby enable output of a progressive scanning video
signal. Enhanced accuracy of motion prediction for
inter-frame encoding can thereby be achieved, and
generation of encoded aliasing components suppressed,
since all reference pictures are progressive scanning
frames rather than pairs of fields constituting
interlaced scanning frames.

Abstract: Adjunct apparatus for increasing network transmission capacity provides a low-cost,
efficient solution for increasing the network transmission capacity of the existing
telephone circuit switched network, while keeping the current network equipment
unchanged. A Local Switch Network (LSN) Adjunct (LSNA) and a Tandem/Toll Switch
Network (TSN) Adjunct (TSNA) interface with standard network elements, such as
switches and cross connect equipment. These network adjuncts, comprising a set of low-bit
rate speech coders, a dynamic timeslot manager and other supporting functions,
advantageously transmit to and receive from a T1/T3/OC3/E1 trunk. More than one
channel of voice is carried on one 64 Kbps DS0 timeslot, while still maintaining the voice
at toll quality. A sub-timeslot and sub-timeslot bundling are introduced in the standard T1
or E1 frame where each sub-timeslot is analogous to a single bit of the typical eight bit
word to provide more than 24 or 30 voice channels respectively. Inband control
information is generated for carrying over a T1 or E1 trunk, for example, for mapping sub-timeslot
bundles to channels. Conventional out-of-band signaling is provided via SS-7 or

predetermined time period and a liquid crystal shutter 17 disposed in front of
the display device 11, the liquid crystal shutter 17 is operated in
synchronization with image switching of the display device 11, and the
image transmitted through the liquid crystal shutter 17 is observed as a three-dimensional
image through polarized glasses 14 of which polarizing
directions differ in the right and left from each other. The liquid crystal cell
13 which serves as a liquid crystal shutter 17 has a structure that a
ferroelectric liquid crystal is held between two sheets of resin film substrates
and the ferroelectric liquid crystal contains more than 10 wt% of ferroelectric
liquid crystal polymer so that it can respond to a large size display device
and a high speed motion. A retardation plate to compensate elliptical
polarization of the polarized glasses is disposed, and the retardation plate
prevents lowering of contrast of the display due to the elliptical polarization
peculiar to the operation mode of the liquid crystal cell and reduces a double
reflection of the image, by setting the condition of | Δ n 1 d 1  - Δ n 2 d 2  | ≦50nm
in the range of light wavelength from 400nm through 900nm, for the
retardation (Δ n 1 d 1 ) of the retardation plate and a retardation (Δ n 2 d 2 ) of a
