Title: Service-oriented resource management across heterogeneous servers.
Inventor: LUMELSKY LEON L
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2000-05-19
Abstract: A system and method for configuring service-oriented resources is suitable for the resource management in a media server and more particularly, for resource configuration across distributed media servers, expected to be useful and suitable for the next generation of the Internet where, due to virtual proximity, resources are made to appear to be abundant by efficiently managing scattered resources from around the globe. In particular, heterogeneous media servers are configured in terms of homogeneous service-oriented resource units referred to as service units. The service unit is used to represent a resource allocation commitment (as opposed to a resource reservation) from a participating server to be able to provision a particular media service on demand. A service unit is associated with each different service supported by a media server and represents an envelope of resource requirements as needed for provisioning of such service. The method includes generating such a resource envelope, and additionally compensating, at a media server, for differences between true resource utilization and resource envelope projected by a service unit. Additionally, each service unit is associated with a signature which represents metadata used to control access to a service unit by defining rights, privileges, and characteristics of services that can use that particular server unit. The signatures are enforced at the media server.

Title: Valve for inflating a balloon
Inventor: EVANS TANYA MARIA
IPC: F16K47/02
Filed: 2000-05-30
Abstract: A valve for inflating a balloon, comprises a distributor 11 for producing a flow of gas under pressure parallel to the neck 32 of the balloon, means 19 on the distributor to engage as a gas-tight fit in the neck of the balloon, and a sealing means 20 disposed downstream of, and secured to, the distributor, wherein, in use, the neck of the balloon is in tension about the sealing means but can be expanded to permit gas from the distributor to pass into the balloon and, when the flow of gas from the distributor ceases, relaxes to make a gas-tight seal with the sealing means. The valve is stated to produce a first gas stream radially outwardly of a second, faster gas stream which reduces noise and the tendency to shred the neck of the balloon.

Title: Transmission of logical control channel on a single slot during handoff
Inventor: FUCHISAWA TAKASHI
IPC: H04W36/08
Filed: 2001-02-14
Abstract: A radio communication system comprising a plurality of base stations and at least one mobile terminal uses TDMA/TDD. During handoff of the mobile terminal, all of the base stations transmit a logical control channel (CCH) in the same designated slot, and the mobile terminal switches to receive a CCH on the same slot. In this way, a mobile searching for a base station to which to hand off a call no longer has to switch to receive on all slots, using a lot of power; furthermore, the chance of a collision with an information channel transmitted by the serving base station on the same slot as a CCH, with the resulting loss of the CCH, is avoided.

Title: Administration of groups of computer programs, data processing systems, or system resources
Inventor: AHERN JOHN EDMUND
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2001-05-24
Abstract: Provided are a computer program, method and system providing simplified administration of groups of computer programs. Command target qualifiers are defined which enable a command to be targeted at either an individual computer program or all members of a group of computer programs. Additionally, scope parameters are defined which enable a command to be targeted at specific computer system resources managed by the computer programs within the group. The computer system resources which are to be accessible to all members of a group have an associated scope parameter defining shared or group access and are held in shared storage, whereas computer system resources to be accessed by only one computer program in the group have a corresponding scope parameter and are held in the local storage of the individual computer program. The invention enables a reduction of the time taken to perform administration and control operations for the group and reduces the risk of inconsistent specification of commands that can arise when a system administrator is required to repeat entry of a command several times.

Title: Apparatus for restoring stability to an MR head of a disc drive
Inventor: KIM JONG-YOON
IPC: G11B5/09
Filed: 2001-10-18
Abstract: The apparatus consists of an MR head 201, a head feed current controller 202, a controller 203 and a signal processor 204. The performance of the MR head 201 is determined using a performance test based on read data errors. If the result of the test is outside a standard range, a reset current pulse is applied to the head. The level of the pulse is determined to be inversely proportional to the resistance of the head and its polarity in the same direction as an easy axis of the head. A second test is performed on the head and if the result is outside a second standard range, another reset pulse is applied. This process is continued until the test result is within range, or until a predetermined number of pulses have been applied, based on the characteristics of the head. The performance tests can be based on bit error rate or on a channel statistical measurement test.
