Appl. No.:

09/881410

US Classification:

370270, 370441, 37920201

Abstract:

A private communication network through which a plurality of member users communicate using the public switched telephone network (PSTN) is disclosed herein. Each member user utilizes either a modified land line telephone directly connected to PSTN, or uses a modified mobile telephone operatively coupled to the PSTN through a wireless communication system. The private communication network includes network call manager having a telephone network interface for establishing a telephone connection with each of a plurality of telephone lines of the PSTN. Each of the plurality of telephone lines is associated with one of the plurality of member users. The network call manager further includes a switch matrix, coupled to the telephone network interface, for providing an information signal received from an active member user over a selected telephone line to the remaining non-active member users. A network call manager controller identifies the active member user the basis of push-to-talk (PTT) request signals received from the member users'telephones over the plurality of telephone lines. The telephone set of each member user will typically be capable of both standard telephone operation as well as of PTT operation over the private communication network.

International Classification:

G11B007/24

US Classification:

369/275400

Abstract:

The invention pertains to an optical disc having increased storage capacity that provides sufficient signals for readability in a majority of players. Pursuant to a first aspect of the invention, acceptable cross-talk levels and increased storage capacity are achieved by decreasing track pitch and pit width. Pit width is decreased based in part on the amount the track pitch has been decreased, and in part on cross-talk levels that are produced by the optical disc when scanned in a majority of players. Pursuant to a second aspect of the invention, acceptable data signals, acceptable tracking signals, and increased storage capacity are achieved by decreasing the pit lengths and by selecting a pit depth. The pit depth is selected based in part on the pit lengths, and based in part on the data signals and the tracking signals produced by the optical disc when scanned in a majority of players. Pursuant to a third aspect of the invention, a cross sectional shape of the pits is selected so that the cross sectional shape increases tracking signals produced by the optical disc when the disc is read in a majority of players.

International Classification:

G06F 1110

US Classification:

371 43

Abstract:

A decoding system capable of outputting Viterbi-decoding-algorithm-decoded data at a predetermined rate that is greater than a given rate at which coded data is processed in accordance with said algorithm to produce the decoded data. The system includes a data input bus; a data output bus; a ring of decoders, with each decoder being coupled to the input bus for receiving coded data from the input bus and coupled to the output bus for providing decoded data onto the output bus. Each of the decoders in the ring includes an input buffer, timing controller, decoding processor and output buffer. The input buffer responds to a start-input signal from a preceding decoder in the ring by buffering a block of the received coded data. The timing contoller provides a start-input signal to a succeeding decoder in the ring at such time as to cause the succeeding decoder to receive a block of coded data from the input bus that overlaps the block of coded data received from the input bus by the instant said decoder. The decoding processor processes the buffered block of coded data at a given rate to produce decoded data.

International Classification:

Abstract:

Apparatuses and methods of forming hollow spheres are provided. Hollow sphere forming apparatus incorporate a bubble forming nozzle assembly in which outlets for gas and liquid materials are disposed substantially coaxially. The relative positions of the gas and liquid outlets are adjustable in at least one dimension (e.g., axially, radially or angularly relative to each other), such that a more uniform annular exit region for the gas and liquid outlets may be configured, such that more symmetric bubbles may be formed thus reducing the rejection rate in solidified bubbles due to asymmetry or decentering of entrapped gas.
