Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a print
data controlling method for correctly performing, even when a
print request regarding the same or similar print data is
repeatedly issued, a print procedure desired by a user without
decrease in printer operating efficiency and waste of resources
such as paper. As a decision result produced by a print server
(3) on the basis of a comparison of data specifying information
contained in print requesting data with data specifying
information attached to each print data spooled in a print queue
(31), a terminal device (2) receives decision data which informs
that there has already been spooled print data identical with
or similar to print data regarding a current print request. Then,
the terminal device (2) will accept designation input for
designating a print data processing procedure (s2-s4),
thereafter sending to the print server (3) processing data
representative of contents of the designated print data
processing procedure (s5-s7). The print server (3) processes the
print data according to contents of the received processing data.

Abstract: Video images are coded using an MPEG system, and the
codes are packetized by a packetizer as differentiated by
the picture type. Packetized I pictures and P pictures are
sent out in synchronism with video frames. Each B picture
is sent out following the sending of an I picture or a P
picture. Depending on the extent of congestion of a
communication line on which the pictures are sent out,
packets of B pictures which cannot be transmitted are
discarded. Layered coding is also used for the coding of
video images, and layers lower in priority of B pictures
which cannot be transmitted are discarded.

Abstract: Under a multi-path environment, receive timing for the
incoming wave of the minimum propagation delay time cannot
be accurately measured using the prior art. 
     By using the delay profile (202) created by delay profile
creating section (102) and the first threshold value
(330) received from the first threshold value calculation
section (105), the first threshold value timing detection
section (103) selects only the earliest receive timing exceeding
the first threshold value (330), from all the timing
that the correlation value in the delay profile (202)
becomes a maximum. By using the receive timing and the second
threshold value (331) received from the second threshold
value calculation section (107), reference timing calculation
section (106) selects the reference timing (208)
required for calculating the receive timing for the incoming
wave of the minimum propagation delay time. The timing
delayed by previously set timing behind said reference timing
(208) is sent from receive timing calculation section
(108) as the receive timing (113) of the incoming wave of
the minimum propagation delay time.

Abstract: In an air separation plant (1) integrated with another process, work is recovered from a nitrogen enriched stream (3) produced by an air separation process either by expanding the nitrogen enriched stream directly in a turbine (21,150) or by combustion of the nitrogen enriched stream with a fuel stream and expanding gas produced by the combustion. The work produced by the expansion is maximised by mixing the nitrogen enriched stream before the expansion step with a further gas stream (5,31) which may be air or may contain at least 2mol.% oxygen and/or at least 2mol.% argon and/or at least 10mol% carbon dioxide. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides an electromagnetic interference (EMI)
module cover (100) for use in an electronics module that is configured to house
electrical components that are capable of generating electromagnetic emissions that
cause EMI. In one embodiment a conductive sidepanel (110) has a resilient cantilever
member (120) formed therefrom with a fixed end (125) that is integrally formed with
the sidepanel and a movable end (130) that is free of a module coupler, thereby allowing
the resilient cantilever member to flex as the module is installed in a chassis. The
resilient cantilever member has a boss (140) that is formed proximate to the movable
free end. The boss extends outward from the sidepanel a distance sufficient to provide a
conductive path between the conductive sidepanel and an adjacent conductive surface
when the module is installed in the chassis.

IPC: H04L1/00

Abstract: A method and communications device for controlling the
line rate used on a communications link. The method includes
receiving frames of digital information, computing a measure of
the number of frames received in error in a sliding time window
and generating a command to change the line rate as a function
of the measure. The use of a sliding time window captures
variations in the line quality over an extended period of time;
thus, significant disturbances which might otherwise be missed
are captured. The measure of the number of frames received in
error is computed by applying a many-to-one mapping to the
actual number of frame errors received since a previous sampling
instant; thus, insignificant short-term disturbances which might
otherwise temporarily corrupt the line quality estimate are
eliminated. As a result, commands to change the line rate are
based on a better estimate of line quality and the incidence of
thrashing in the presence of recurring noise bursts is reduced,
leading to increased data throughput. A back-off timer may be
used for preventing an upgrade in line quality from occurring
immediately following a downgrade, further decreasing the
incidence of thrashing.

Abstract: In a communications network comprising a plurality of interconnected
nodes, each node comprises at least one network device requiring allocated
transmission channels, a switch connected to the network device for
configuring transmission channels connected to other nodes, and a
configuration controller connected to the network device and to the switch for
controlling configuration of the transmission channels. The configuration
controller receives signals from the network device indicative of traffic load on
the network device, processes the received signals to determine that
reconfiguration of the transmission channels is favoured and determines a
favoured reconfiguration of the transmission channels. The configuration
controller also communicates with configuration controllers at other nodes to
determine paths between nodes for reconfiguration of the transmission
channels, and communicates with the switch, configuration controllers at other
nodes and the network device to implement reconfiguration of the
transmission channels. The network devices may be routers, data switches,
servers or combinations thereof.

graphical model, such as a 3-D model. An option to choose a semi-automatic mode of
generation can enable a user to interrupt generation and rework data being transferred

control of dimension and constraint generation such that the process can move from one
step to the next, under a user's control. In another embodiment, a semi-automatic mode
of operation provides a pause in the generation process. During the pause, the user can
rework drawing data or halt the process to perform other tasks. In the absence of an
interruption, the system can proceed to a next item of drawing data.

einer auf einem keramischen Substrat (1) angeordneten, Edelmetall aufweisenden Kontaktschicht (2),
wobei die Dicke der Kontaktschicht geringer ist als die Dicke des bandförmigen Leiters. Es stellt
sich das Problem, eine die Nachteile des Standes der Technik vermeidende elektrische Verbindung
und ein kostengünstiges Verfahren zu deren Herstellung bereitzustellen. Das Problem
wird für die elektrische Verbindung dadurch gelöst, dass der bandförmige Leiter mindestens
zwei Schichten (3,4) unterschiedlicher Dicke und unterschiedlicher elektrischer spezifischer Widerstände
aufweist und dass eine der Kontaktschicht (2) zugewandte erste Schicht (3) im Hinblick auf
die weiteren Schichten ein Material mit dem niedrigsten elektrischen spezifischen Widerstand aufweist
und dass die elektrische Verbindung zwischen dem bandförmigen Leiter und der Kontaktschicht (2)
mittels Spaltschweißen gebildet ist. Ein besonderer Vorteil ist dabei, dass die Gesamtdicke
des bandförmigen Leiters, der auch drahtförmig ausgebildet sein kann, die Schweißbarkeit
dabei kaum beeinflusst.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a soundproof cover is disclosed,

the sound-shielding portion, and forming a sound-absorbing portion,
being composed of a foamed resin, on the surface of the sound-shielding

integrally therewith. The sound-shielding portion and the
sound-absorbing portion are bonded with each other firmly, because
the shot blasting is carried out in the soundproof cover
manufacturing process. Consequently, it is possible to manufacture
a soundproof cover in which coming-off hardly arises at the interface
between the sound-shielding portion and the sound-absorbing
portion.
