Patent EP-0967726-A1 (EP)
Inventor: WEN JACK CHI-CHIEH
IPC: H03M1/10
Filed: 1999-06-08
Abstract: A DAC system provides an expanded SFDR when compared to the SFDR of
an individual DAC(s) that makes up the DAC system. The DAC system uses a
clipping arrangement which receives the digital input signal and provides an
amplitude-limited signal and resulting signal distortion to a first DAC for digital input
signals whose amplitudes would result in an insufficient SFDR for the first DAC. By
amplitude-limiting the digital input signal, the amplitude of the digital input signal is
effectively reduced or "clipped," thereby improving the SFDR performance for the
first DAC. The signal distortion resulting from the amplitude adjustment is routed to
a second DAC. The first DAC converts the amplitude-limited digital signal to an
analog signal with an expanded SFDR due to the lower amplitude of the adjusted
digital signal. The second DAC receives the signal distortion which can be viewed as
the clipped amplitude portion of the digital input signal. The second DAC converts
the signal distortion, which typically has a lower amplitude than the adjusted digital
signal, to an analog signal with at least an acceptable SFDR. The DAC system
combines the resulting analog signals from the first and second DACs to produce the
desired converted analog signal with an increased relative difference between the
amplitudes of the output signal and the spurious distortion, thereby providing an
extended SFDR for the DAC system when compared to the SFDR if the digital input
signal had been converted by the first DAC without amplitude adjustment.

Abstract: Apparatus for holding fried food product for a holding time, defined as the time
between the completion of cooking and the time that the food product no longer has a
desired warmth, crispness and interior moisture for serving to a customer. The fried food
is disposed in a holder or bin (20) and subjected to heat from an upper heater (30), a lower heater (40)
and forced hot air that is applied through and across the fried food. The hot air flow
serves to evaporate moisture from the fried food surface and to remove water vapor from
the region above the fried food, whereby the holding time is extended to about 20
minutes.

Abstract: The invention is for a system and method for performing forward error correction on an MPEG-2
transport stream that has optional error correction information embedded within the transport
stream. An error correction operation is performed on a super group of packets within the
transport stream. The error correction data is inserted into a created trailer group of MPEG-2
compliant transport stream packets having no payload, but only an adaptation field The trailer
group packets are optional and therefore can be discarded by a standard MPEG-2 decoder, but
can also be used to recover data lost in the transmission of the transport stream. The invention
results in a system and method to correct an MPEG-2 transport stream that can be used in any
one of the digital video broadcast (DVB) formats, without the need for error correction decoders
which are specific to the DVB format.

Abstract: The method for accessing a service platform such as TINA via an
internet browser session is made up of a number of steps. The first step is
installing a servlet at a web-server of a content provider having access to this
service platform. When a user then tries to use a service of this service platform,
the servlet detects whether or not said browser session is already associated to a
related service session. If the browser session is already associated to this related
service session, it performs predetermined actions related to the service session,
such as charging. If the browser session is not associated to the related service
session, it returns a web-page containing an applet to guide an associated
browser user through a logon process for the related service session. In the end
the user may access the service session via the browser session.

Abstract: Representing a number of assets on an originating computer begins with selecting the assets to be represented (102). Cryptographic hash asset identifiers are generated (104); each of the asset identifiers is computed using the contents of a particular asset. The asset identifier is a content-based or content-addressable asset name for the asset and is location independent. An asset list is generated that includes the asset identifiers computed from the assets (106). A cryptographic hash asset list identifier is generated that is computed from the asset list (108). The asset list identifier is stored for later retrieval. The assets selected are also stored for safekeeping either locally or on a computer network. In the event of loss of the files from the originating computer, the asset list identifier is retrieved (302). Using the asset list identifier, the original asset list is found and retrieved from its safe location (306). The asset identifiers from the retrieved asset list are used to find and retrieve the individual assets from their backup locations (314, 316). The assets are verified by recomputing the cryptographic hash asset identifier for each asset retrieved and comparing it to the asset identifier from the asset list (316). The MD5 algorithm is used for the cryptographic hash function. Assets are retrieved using a multicast protocol (402). A series of importer programs (702-710) searches for assets to retrieve in progressively more remote locations. Assets are retrieved whole or in segments (606).

Abstract: A hearing instrument is adapted for positioning in the external auditory canal of a human proximal to the tympanic membrane. It includes a substantially rigid shell and a relatively flexible tip member. The tip member includes a hollow body portion defining an elongated passage for the communication of acoustic signals through the tip member. The hollow body portion of the tip member is sufficiently deformable so that an axis of the passage substantially conforms to an axis of the external auditory canal upon insertion. The hollow body is also significantly rigid to resist substantial collapse of the passage upon such insertion. The axis of the passage defined by the hollow body portion is moveable at an angle with respect to the axis of the shell so that the hearing instrument can navigate the canal during insertion. Wax guard and receiver mounting configurations as well as a method of assembly are also described.

Abstract: A link-level flow control method for serving ATM cell streams arriving from a number of packet sources determines a requested bandwidth share for each packet source and queues ATM cells arriving from the packet sources in a shared FIFO buffer. Based on the number of transmitted ATM cells during a pre-defined time period, non-violating packet sources and violating packet sources are identified. The non-violating packet sources are those packet sources that during the predefined time period do not require more than their requested bandwidth share, and the violating packet sources are those packet sources that during the same period require more than their requested bandwidth share. In order to maintain fairness among the packet sources, the non-violating packet sources are granted no more than their requested bandwidth share, with the remaining bandwidth not granted to the non-violating packet sources being granted to the violating packet sources.
