Abstract: In a satellite communication system a CDMA uplink signal including
user data is transmitted in a packetized manner, the packets are switched on board
the satellite by a packet switch before its downlink delivery. The packet switch
routes the packets to the appropriate one of several outgoing downlink beams based
on address information included in the packet header. Time Division Multiplexing
(i.e., TDM) is used for downlink transmission. This invention constitutes an efficient
multi-user satellite based communication system.

Abstract: The present invention allows the frame buffer to be dynamically
reconfigurable during the processing of graphics data. Lower resolution
double buffer mode is used when objects are moving, and higher resolution
single buffer mode is used when objects are stationary. The user gets
the benefits of double buffering while objects are in motion, and the
benefit of a higher quality image when objects are stationary. No image
tears appear in this case because the graphics processing system redraws
the exact same image when motion ceases, however the image has more bits
per pixel. The visual effect is that the picture becomes clearer when
motion ceases. The graphics processor quickly switches frame buffer
modes during execution, and are is constrained to specifying one mode at
the start of processing.

Abstract: Code words, which correspond to orthogonal-transform-resultant
coefficients having order numbers equal to or higher than
an order number "n+1", are deleted from code words composing
each 1-intra-frame segment of an input digital picture signal to
generate special picture data with a frame period NS on the basis of
the input digital picture signal. Estimation is made as to a code
amount CF(nmin) of special picture data generated by deleting code
words, which correspond to orthogonal-transform-resultant
coefficients having order numbers equal to or higher than an order
number "nmin+1", from code words composing a 1-intra-frame
segment of the input digital picture signal, where "nmin" denotes a
lower limit of an order number "n". The frame period NS of the
special picture data and a target code amount C are decided so that
the estimated code amount CF(nmin) will be equal to or smaller
than the target code amount C. The input digital picture signal is
recorded on a recording medium. The special picture data is
recorded on predetermined positions in the recording medium.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for exploiting the power of existing device independent graphics and text manipulations, while providing a high level of client-side performance for interactive applications using an object oriented client-side library of constructs. The client-side constructs are analogous to the constructs of a selected server-side imaging model, so that the power and performance of existing imaging models (for example, constructs of the PostScript language) are exploited. In an exemplary embodiment, the client-side constructs are provided for use with the C++ programming language. By establishing a client-side object model using a library of constructs analogous to server-side imaging model constructs, program execution speed and efficiency can be improved without sacrificing the device independence of the imaging model. Using a common base class (i.e., a base class common to all output device platforms), an inherent level of transparency between printing to a display and printing to a file or to a printer is achieved in the client-side application development. Thus, the coupling of a complete representation of a given imaging model with the advantages of an object model written in a high level compiled language, such as the strongly-typed C++ language, enables true what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) applications to be efficiently developed and implemented.

Abstract: A routing method for an information distribution system (10),
such as an automatic communications distribution system, allows substantial
content freedom in the formulation of a message to the system.
The messages are converted (66) to a computer-searchable format and
are subjected to content analysis (68) to identify skills advantageous to
responding to the messages. In one application, the incoming message is
a facsimile transmission (14) that is converted to computer-generated
text information using an optical character recognition module (34). The
freeform incoming message may also be a voice mail message (38) converted
using speech recognition techniques (40), or may be a video
transmission (26), electronic mail (20) or a Webpage referral (22). In an
application of the method and system that includes a response from an
agent of the system, résumé data (48) indicative of proficiencies of the
agents with respect to skills advantageous to processing the communications
are correlated (72) with the identified desired skills for a particular
incoming communication. Based upon the correlation, the incoming
communication is routed (74) to the appropriate agent.
