    摘要: A method for regulating bandwidth usage in an output data stream transmitted on an analog channel from a cable head end. The output data stream comprises a plurality of input information content signals. For each input information content signal, a series of images are captured, compressed and formed into an input digital data stream. The bandwidth of each input digital data stream is regulated by associating the stream with a current bit allocation total. During each frame time: a bit allocation increment is added to the current bit allocation total for each input digital data stream. When a data packet to be transmitted for an input digital data stream is received by the multiplexer, the data packet is stored. When the number of bits in the stored data packet is not more than the current bit allocation total for the input digital data stream, the multiplexer forwards the stored data packet for transmission in the output data stream on the analog channel and decrements the current bit allocation total for the given input digital data stream by the number of bits in the stored data packet. In this way, no individual input channel takes more than its share of the bandwidth on the output stream on the analog channel.

    摘要: A processor of an apparatus in an example upon a failure of an earlier attempt to directly acquire ownership of an access coordinator for a resource shared with one or more additional processors, locally determines an amount to delay a later attempt to directly acquire ownership of the access coordinator. Upon a failure of the later and/or a subsequent attempt to directly acquire ownership of the access coordinator the processor would enter into an indirect waiting arrangement for ownership of the access coordinator.

    摘要: An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system includes a plurality of UPSs configured to be output paralleled. Availability information is communicated from the UPSs, and an aggregate availability of the UPSs is determined responsive to the communicated availability information. Parallel provision of power from the UPSs may be selectively enabled responsive to the determined aggregate availability. The aggregate availability information may also be reported to a user. The aggregate availability may be, for example, a redundancy level and/or a percentage availability provided by the UPSs. The invention may be embodied as methods, apparatus and computer program products.

    摘要: A method for utilizing a personal agent in a communications device for selecting the method of delivery of at least one communication having multiple networking type modes (200) includes discovering all available delivery options (203). One or more operational parameters are detected (205) including information based on the agent's knowledge of the user's schedule. The impact on battery consumption of the communication is also estimated (209) and a key metric is determined (211) based on the type of delivery options that are available. Finally, an optimal delivery option is determined (213) where it can be either automatically selected or presented to the user of the device.

    摘要: A method for providing interactive information content in an analog cable system having only a one-way communication path from a cable head end to a communication device, such as a set-top box that is associated with a television is disclosed. A set-top box receives a plurality of interactive information content signals on at least one analog channel from the cable head end. In certain embodiments the interactive information content signals are data streams that sent over an analog carrier channel. The set-top box provides a selection screen to the television for display. A user can then use a user-input device, such as, a remote control to make a selection. In general, the user will select a key, such as a directional key and the remote control will provide the selection/directional signal to the set-top box. The set-top box then outputs a new information content signal based the received selection signal without having to transmit to the head end.

    摘要: Spam and other unwanted electronic-mail may be controlled by a system in which a given external message transfer agent using a given Internet protocol address and a given domain name is limited in the number of connections that it may make and the number of messages it may deliver over a given time period. Based on the performance of that external message transfer agent, the passage of time and the number of connections, its assigned connection limit may be increased so that progressively trust is increased and more message connections and a higher number of messages delivered may be permitted.
