Title: ATM/narrowband interworking
Inventor: CABLE JULIAN FRANK BARRY
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1998-03-12
Abstract: Narrowband subscriber terminals (40, 52, 58) of different narrowband networks are interconnected via a broadband network (48) that supports dissimilar signalling protocols to those maintained on the respective narrowband networks (40, 52, 58). A call server in a first narrowband network (40), in response to a call (100) from a first subscriber terminal (12) to a second subscriber terminal (68) in a second but different narrowband network (52), selects a phantom trunk (202) between the two networks. The phantom trunk has a unique circuit identity, which circuit identity is used in a first instance to relay to the second network an address of the second subscriber terminal (68). Then, in a second instance, the unique circuit identity is used to relay to the second network an address of the first subscriber terminal (68). By recognising that two connection requests have been received at opposite ends of the same phantom trunk, a processor in the second network is able to determine that a direct connection between the first and second subscriber terminals is required through the broadband network (48).

Title: An oscillator in which when the frequency is adjusted the level is also adjusted
Inventor: CLARKE DAVID STUART
IPC: H03B5/32
Filed: 1999-05-14
Abstract: A crystal oscillator comprises a crystal 1 and a crystal oscillator circuit 3 for providing an output signal 5. In order to adjust the output frequency, for example during the testing stage of production, a bank of load capacitors C1 to C6 are provided. Each capacitor C1 to C6 may be switched into or out of the circuit by a respective switch 9 to 19. The switches are controlled by control lines D0 to D5, which are set by a 6 bit register 21, known as the trim register. The value in the trim register is set according to the frequency of the output signal. To counteract any swing in the output signal, a bank of current switches T1 to T4 are provided, which enable resistors R1 to R4 to be switched into or out of the circuit. Each resistor R1 to R4 is switched by a respective one of the control lines D2 to D5. Thus, adjusting the load capacitance to obtain a desired frequency causes the oscillator core current to be changed automatically, thereby maintaining a constant swing in the output signal.
