IPC: H04L25/497
Filed: 1995-11-17
Abstract: A method is provided for encoding and decoding binary data, using a non-quasicatastrophic
and phase invariant matched spectral null code for a partial response
channel. The method is particularly suited for partial response systems wherein the
order of the higher order null in the transfer function of the partial response channel is ≧
1, resulting in maximum signal-to-noise (SNR) gain of the channel output. In a
preferred form, the method is used to develop a rate 8/10 Nyquist-null trellis code.

Abstract: The present invention has been made in consideration of
preventing a shock in speed change and reducing a time required
to execute an entire speed change operation if a second speed
change is determined during a first speed change operation. If
a down-shift to a first speed stage is determined during an
up-shift operation from the first to the second speed, the
hydraulic pressure in the second speed change operation is
controlled depending on the speed change state of the first speed
change operation at the time of determination of the second speed
change. For example, if a down-shift to the first speed stage
is determined in a torque phase in which the up-shift operation
from the first to the second speed is conducted, namely before
a speed change in which there is a change in rotation of an input
shaft is started, only completion control of the down-shift
operation is executed. If the down-shift to the first speed stage
is determined in an inertia phase, namely after the speed change
has been started, hydraulic control is started with the initial
speed change control of the down-shift operation.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for efficient encoding of symbols
with multilevel encoding, where components of the symbols that are more
susceptible to errors are encoded more robustly than components that are less
susceptible to error. A non-binary constellation of symbols is handled with a
fractional bit rate converter that combines with the multilevel encoder (31-33) to
create an effective and efficient constellation of symbols. Illustratively, digital data
is encoded and mapped onto a set of symbols, with the two least significant bits of
the symbols being encoded with a multi-level code. The least significant bit is
encoded with a code that is more robust than the code of the next-to-least significant
bit, in recognition of the fact that errors in the least significant bit are much more
likely. The most significant bits are mapped with the aid of a fractional bit rate
mapper (33) that optimizes a selected aspect of the symbol constellation, such as
average power.

Abstract: A height adjustment system for a desk, workstation or the like is provided comprising a plurality of height adjustable legs (20, 30, 30'; 520, 530, 530') each having a first part in the form of a hollow column (31; 531) and a second part (32, 34; 532, 534) movable relative to the first part in a vertical direction. The second part of each leg includes a gearbox housing containing a crown gear provided on a vertically extending rotatable shaft (35, 535) and at least one pinion gear (310) engageable with said crown gear. The vertical shaft includes a screw-threaded portion (36; 536) engaged by nuts (38; 538) on a base plate of the column. A winding mechanism (50) is provided for rotating a horizontally extending shaft (211, 311) on which the pinion gear is provided. Rotation of the horizontal shaft (211, 311) causes the vertical shaft to rotate thereby moving the second part (32, 34; 532, 534) relative to the column (31; 531) to adjust the height of a top member (10; 510) supported by the leg. The gearbox housing (32; 532) includes ball bearing race assemblies (340; 350; 360) for the crown and pinion gears which enable the height of two or more legs to be adjusted simultaneously by a single winding mechanism. The leg also includes a self-adjusting linear bearing (40) between telescopically movable parts of the leg. In a further embodiment, the height adjustment system may also include a duct for cabling (555), a cable tray (560) and a hinged duct cover (590) pivotally attached to the top member (510). <IMAGE>

IPC: G06F1/32

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for actively managing the overall
power consumption of a computer network which includes a plurality of computer systems inter-connected
to each other. In turn, each computer system has one or more modules. Each computer
system of the computer network is capable of independently initiating a transition into a power-conserving
mode, i.e., a "sleep" state, while keeping its network interface "alive" and fully operational.
Subsequently, each computer system can independently transition back into a fully operational
state, i.e., an "awake" state, when triggered by either a deterministic or an asynchronous
event. As a result, the sleep states of the computer systems are transparent to the computer network.
Deterministic events are events triggered internally by a computer system, e.g., an internal timer
waking the computer system up at midnight to perform housekeeping chores such as daily tape
backups. Conversely, the source of asynchronous events are external in nature and include input/output
(I/O) activity. The illusion of the entire network being always fully operational is possible
because the system controllers, the interconnects and network interfaces of each computer system
remain fully operational while the selected modules and peripheral devices are powered down. As
a result, each computer system is able to rapidly wake up from the sleep state in response to stimuli
by powering down selected modules thereby accomplishing power conservation without requiring
a static shutdown of the computer network, i.e., without affecting the overall performance and
response of the computer network.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a telecommunication network and
method to increase the traffic transmission capacity of switched
star or mesh telecommunication networks. In a mesh/star-shaped
network the endpoints in the network are connected, at which a ring-shaped
network is created. When the capacity in the ring network is
not sufficient, said ring network is tied off, creating two ring
networks. Communication between the ring networks is made via
channel allocation devices. Round the in this way tied off ring
networks an outer ring network is further created. Communication
between the different networks is made over channel allocation
devices. The traffic direction in the different parts of the network
moreover can be switched, at which the sensitivity to disturbances
in the network is reduced.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the color of an article such as a paper web includes performing a comparison between target and measured reflectance values in numerous wavelength bands spanning the visible spectrum. The comparison quantifies correspondingly numerous errors that are modified by a non-linear operation, such as squaring, and then added together. The resulting sum is minimized by individually adjusting the application of a number of colorants to the article. The number of wavelength bands is greater than the number of colorants. This avoids metameric effects which are common in conventional systems that rely on three color space coordinates such as Hunter Laboratories L, a, b; C.I.E. L*, a*, b*; chromaticity x, y, z; and tristimulus X, Y, Z. Colorant response simulators enable the effects of changes in application of colorants to be tested while the actual application of colorants to the article is unchanged. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition system (10)
includes a number of process gas injection tubes (128) and at
least one dedicated clean gas injection tube (130). A plasma
is used to periodically clean the interior surfaces of
the deposition chamber. The cleaning is made more
rapid and effective by introducing the clean gas
through the dedicated clean gas injection tube. In
this manner the clean gas can be introduced at a
relatively high flow rate without detracting from the
cleaning of the interior surfaces of the process gas
injection tubes. As a separate aspect of this
invention, a high-frequency signal is applied to both
terminals of the coil (102) during the cleaning process.
This produces a plasma, mainly by capacitive coupling,
which has a shape and uniformity that are well-suited
to cleaning the surfaces of the deposition chamber.
