Patent EP-0725376-A3 (EP)
Inventor: NAGAHARA JUNICHI
IPC: H04N7/16
Filed: 1996-01-25
Abstract: A charging method in interactive on-line service
where a server and terminals of users are mutually
connected by means of a transmission medium, and a
predetermined service is provided from the server to the
terminals via the transmission medium, and the fee for
such service is collected from each user individually.
The charging method comprises the steps of opening, in the
server, an imaginary account for a child of the relevant
user with a limited maximum amount, and withdrawing from
the imaginary account the fee for the service provided to
the user's child. The server can provide a predetermined
service to the relevant user's child within a range of the
limited maximum amount preset in the imaginary account.
And when withdrawing the fee from the imaginary account,
the server can restrict the service providable to the
terminal. Thus, the parent enables his child to receive a
desired on-line service, such as on-line shopping or
video-on-demand, on the basis of the child's own judgment
by setting an upper limit of a service utilisable by the
child and still limiting the services providable for the
child, hence realising promoted utilisation of the service
by children.

IPC: H04J3/00
Filed: 1996-02-07
Abstract: A multi-signal multi-coder transcoder is disclosed for communications systems that can
be fabricated less expensively than embodiments in the prior art and without requiring
significant changes to the signal source and destination devices. An illustrative embodiment
preferably comprises an input lead (211), an output lead (213), an input switch (603), an output
switch (605), a pool of  N  processing elements (611-N), which are configured to perform a first
coding technique and a pool of  M  processing elements (611-M), which are configured to
perform a second coding technique, or possibly both techniques. When the input lead carries a
plurality of multiplexed signals, each of which is to be transcoded in accordance with one of
the two coding techniques, the input switch segregates and routes the incoming signals to an
appropriate processing element. While a processing element is preferably configured to
perform only one coding technique, each is preferably capable of transcoding multiple signals
concurrently in accordance with that technique. The output switch gathers the respective
transcoded signals, re-multiplexes them and transmits them on the output lead.

Abstract: An engine air/fuel control system is disclosed having
one feedback correction loop generating a feedback variable
by essentially integrating the output of an exhaust gas
oxygen sensor (16). A second feedback loop adaptively
learns a feedback correction from the difference between the
feedback variable and its desired value such as unity. A
range of authority for the total air/fuel controller (12) is
adaptively learned from the learned correction value to
maximize the correction which may be applied by the feedback
variable under all operating conditions.

Abstract: A method in accordance with the invention allocates bandwidth, fairly and dynamically, in a
shared-media packet switched network (300) to accommodate both elastic and inelastic
applications. The method, executed by or in a head-end controller forming part of a band allocation
unit (305), allocates bandwidth transmission slots for a plurality of network access units (315)
connected to the band allocation unit (305) via a physical communications network (310), converting
requests for bandwidth into virtual scheduling times for granting access to the shared media. The
method can use a weighted fair queuing algorithm or a virtual clock algorithm to generate a
sequence of upstream slot/transmission assignment grants. The method supports multiple quality of
service (QoS) classes via mechanisms which give highest priority to the service class with the most
stringent QoS requirements.

Abstract: The present invention provides for techniques for transporting materials using electrokinetic forces through the channels of a microfluidic system. The subject materials are transported in regions of high ionic concentration, next to spacer material regions of high ionic concentration, which are separated by spacer material regions of low ionic concentration. Such arrangements allow the materials to remain localized for the transport transit time to avoid mixing of the materials. Using these techniques, an electropipettor which is compatible with the microfluidic system is created so that materials can be easily introduced into the microfluidic system. The present invention also compensates for electrophoretic bias as materials are transported through the channels of the microfluidic system by splitting a channel into portions with positive and negative surface charges and a third electrode between the two portions, or by diffusion of the electrophoresing materials after transport along a channel. <IMAGE>
