Abstract: A method for scalably inter-contour coding a video signal
including a previous and a current frames, wherein each of the
previous and the current frames contains a contor, first
generates a predicted contour by motion estimating and
compensating a previous base layer, widens the predicted
contour by a predetermined threshold D max (j), generates (j)th
primary and secondary vertices, and reconstructs a current
base layer, j being 0. Thereafter, the method widens the
predicted contour by the predetermined threshold D max (j+1),
generates (j+1)st primary and secondary vertices, and updates
the (j)th primary and secondary vertices. Then, the (j)th
primary and secondary vertices are encoded, and encoded
primary and secondary vertex information is formatted in a
predetermined way. Finally, the value of j is increased by 1,
and the process from widening the predicted contour by
D max (j+1) to formatting the encoded primary and secondary
vertex infromation are repeated until j becomes N, N being a
positive integer.

Abstract: The digital communications receiver receives an analogue signal, modulated with digital information. The receiver converts the analogue signal to a digital signal, and demodulates the digital signal to recover the complex valued components of the transmitted digital signal. The complex valued components are low pass filtered and passed through an adaptive pre-equalizer filter, to reduce eigen value spread. The filtered complex valued signal is then subject to decision feedback equalisation, which operates using a series of adaptive filters additionally to remove artifacts of inter-symbol interference. The resulting filtered and equalized complex valued signal is then converted to a digital signal to recover the digital information.

Abstract: In a transmission network including multiplex
transmission units A, F, G, D and E, when the line breakage
has occurred on the OC-12 transmission path of the direction
from unit A to unit F, the unit F detects the signal coming
in from the OC-12 path indicative of the line breakage. The
unit F inserts the APS bytes which comes in from the unit A
into the undefined area of the OC-192 transport overhead which
is reserved for the through-transport of APS bytes, and
transports it to the unit G. On receiving the through-transport
APS bytes, the unit G inserts it intact into the
defined area for the APS bytes in the OC-12 transport overhead,
and sends it to the unit D. In this manner, protection switching
between the units A and D is carried out.

Inventor: AJMERA ATUL C
IPC: H01L29/49
Filed: 1998-07-28
Abstract: A "porous barrier" is formed without formation of a discrete
barrier layer by enriching grain boundaries of a body of polysilicon with
nitrogen to inhibit thermal mobility of silicon species therealong. In a
polycide gate/interconnect structure, the reduced mobility of silicon
suppresses agglomeration of silicon in a metal silicide layer formed
thereon. Since silicon agglomeration is a precursor of a polycide
inversion phenomenon, polycide inversion which can pierce an underlying
oxide and cause device failure is effectively avoided. The increased
thermal stability of polycide structures and other structures including a
body of polysilicon thus increases the heat budget that can be withstood
by the structure and increases the manufacturing process window imposed
by the presence of polysilicon which can be exploited in other processes
such as annealing to develop a low resistance phase of refractory metal
silicide included in the polycide structure, drive-in annealing for
formation of source/drain regions of field effect transistors and the
like.

Abstract: A mechanism for dispatching a sequence of packets via a telecommunications
network includes a queue for packets for transmission and a queue controller responsive
to receipt of a new packet for transmission to compare parameters of the new packet to
parameters of any packet already in the queue, the queue controller determining whether
to queue or drop the new packet depending on the result of the comparison(s). The
queue can be implemented as a linked list of packet entries with individual pointers to
the respective packets concerned. The queue entries can include details relating to the
packet including data relating to the information flow and also the packet identity. In
a TCP environment, the flow information can include the source IP address and the
source TCP port, as well as the destination IP address and the destination TCP port.
The identity information can include sequence numbers and acknowledgement numbers
for the packet concerned. In order to optimize network usage, it can be useful to drop
some packets at a routing node. A decision to drop a packet can be made if the new
packet and a queued packet relate to the same information flow, the new packet sequence
number equals the queued packet sequence number and the new packet acknowledgement
number is less than the queued packet acknowledgement number. The new packet is
dropped where the new packet is a retransmission of a queued packet and the length of
the queued packet is greater than or equal to that of the new packet. A queued packet
is replaced by a new packet when the new packet is determined to be a retransmission
of the queued packet and the length of the new packet is greater than that of the queued
packet.
