Abstract: The present invention relates to a new and useful
learning system. A computer-based system permits a
user to create and manipulate basic elements within
an environment. The system then represents relationships
within the environment. The system and user
cooperate to provide a learning opportunity for the
user. As the user makes or reviews changes of basic
elements, he or she can learn how different aspects
of an element affect the overall interactions. Two
specific embodiments are disclosed. In a first embodiment,
the system is used for exploring geometric
patterns. The basic elements are tiles which are
formed and manipulated through operations of
geometric symmetry. The tiles can be combined into
different repeating patterns. Multiple tiles can be
used within a pattern. Also, new tiles can be created
from portions of the pattern. Thus through simple
interactions using basic operations and simple parts,
complex effects emerge. In a second embodiment, the
system is used for exploring a sociodynamic system.
The basic elements are creatures with sets of defined
behaviors. The system determines interactions between
creatures or groups of creatures based upon a
complete set of behaviors within the group. The user
and the system can manipulate the behaviors,
creatures, and interactions. Again, through simple
interactions using basic operations and simple parts,
complex effects emerge. Finally, a user interface is
disclosed which can be used with the system of
present invention. The interface includes display
areas for creation of basic elements, interactions
between basic elements, and selectable elements or
components of elements. The interface also includes a 
set of selectable functions for operating on specific
basic elements or upon the interactions within the
environment.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to effectively perform data
reading processing both when an error occurs and when no error
occurs by using a memory unit using a nonvolatile semiconductor
memory for storing sales data of an electronic cash register.
A memory area (20) of a nonvolatile semiconductor memory is
divided into a first area (21) and a second area (22). Sales
data is successively written into a plurality of data records
(31a, 31b, 31c, 31d, 31e) from the forefront address of the
first area (21). Into a plurality of flag areas (31af, 31bf,
31cf, 31df, 31ef), flags representing whether sales data
writing was normally performed or not are written. Sales data
sets "C" and "E" having writing errors are newly written in
two data records (32c, 32e) successively from the forefront
address of the second area (22). Of all the data records in
the first area (21), the three data records (31a, 31b, 31d)
having no writing errors can be successively read out from the
forefront address of the first area (21), so that data reading
can be efficiently performed.

IPC: H04L69/14

Abstract: A method for data transmission in a wireless communication network utilizes
an on-demand multiple access method with a fair queuing service discipline for
efficient utilization of the limited bandwidth available in the network by sharing
bandwidth among the remote hosts. In one embodiment, the base station broadcasts
the system virtual time and the assigned shares of service classes to each of the
wireless remotes. Each remote host computes its own service tag and reports it to the
base station, which assigns transmit permits based on the service tag values and the
available data slots. If a packet is lost or in error, the sending remote recomputes the
service tag values of all its queued packets, including the packet whose transmission
failed. Alternatively, the remote informs the base station of its queue size and the
base station computes service tags for each remote based on the service shares of the
remote and the available data slots. If a packet is lost or in error, the base station
recomputes the service tag values for that remote host based on the current system
virtual time. In an alternate embodiment, the AP or wireless node maintains a packet
queue and a head-of-line tag. If a packet is lost, only the head-of-line tag needs to be
changed. Once the head-of-line packet has been transmitted successfully, the rest of
the queued packets will automatically receive the correct tag, the recomputed head-of-line
tag plus appropriate increments. For half-duplex, both the uplink and downlink
queues at the access points are managed as if there is only one system virtual time.
For full-duplex, separate system virtual times for the uplink and the downlink traffic
may be used. Remotes may also be divided into one or more separate groups, with
each group having a different priority and receiving a different system virtual time.
Service tags of all other remotes remain unaffected by the retransmission of a packet
from any particular remote, meaning that the QoS experienced by the other remotes
does not suffer.
