摘要： A method of tracking food product status using a food product scale, the scale including a weighing station including an associated mechanism for producing weight indicative signals, and an operator interface screen including a display, is provided. The method includes entering product identification information of a food product into a food product scale using an operator interface of the food product scale. The food product scale identifies the food product based on the product information. A shelf life label is printed that includes shelf life information associated with the food product. A shelf life record is created that is saved in memory. The shelf life record includes the product identification information and an expiration date of the food product.

摘要： A method of receiving product pricing errors within a store including multiple food product scales is provided. The method includes (a) providing a store scale communications network. At step (b), a primary food product scale is provided in the store including memory for storing product pricing data. At step (c), a secondary food product scale is provided in the store including memory for storing product pricing data. At step (d), food product pricing data is communicated to the primary food product scale via the communications network and the food product pricing data is stored in memory of the primary food product scale. At step (e), the secondary food product scale identifies a potential internal product pricing data error condition and responsively requests accurate product pricing data from the primary food product scale. At step (f), after step (e), at least some of the product pricing data is sent from the primary food product scale to the secondary food product scale.

摘要： A variable rate transmission system where a packet of variable rate data is transmitted on a traffic channel if the capacity of the traffic channel is greater than or equal to the data rate of the packet. When the rate of the packet of variable rate data exceeds the capacity of the traffic channel, the packet is transmitted on a traffic channel and at least one overflow channel. Also described is a receiving system for receiving and reassembling the data transmitted on the traffic channel and at least one additional overflow channel.

摘要： A handoff technique in which system users detect transitions in service between a current service area and an adjacent service area, and request a forward link channel in the new service area when a detected signal strength for the new service area exceeds predetermined threshold levels. The forward communications link in the current service area is maintained until the strength of the new service area signal reaches a certain level and appropriate channel quality is confirmed, as based on various known criteria. Typically, service area transitions are detected using the signal strength of pilot or paging signals associated with service areas, which are used to determine a relative signal strength of new service area signals. Pilot signal level adjustments used to counter roll-off effects are detected and compensated for in comparing signal levels. To minimize the burden on system resources, new service area signals are not selectable until a minimum time has passed, or a minimum change in energy from a prior pilot signal is detected. In addition, communications using the previous service area can be dropped almost immediately upon engaging the new service area.

摘要： Flow of data units to an address resolution processor is controlled to inhibit multiple data units from a single multicast flow from being enqueued with the address resolution processor. In a switch having a plurality of Input/Output Application Specific Integrated Circuits (“I/O ASICs”) with a plurality of ports, no more than one data unit from each I/O ASIC is permitted to be enqueued with the address resolution processor at any point in time. A separate learn pending indicator may be defined for each I/O ASIC in the switch.

摘要： A cache line index for an address cache entry is calculated by organizing an address such as a Media Access Control (“MAC”) address into a plurality of intermediate elements, barrel shifting the bits of at least one of the intermediate elements in accordance with predetermined criteria, and folding the intermediate address elements together with an exclusive-OR function. A Virtual Local Area Network (“VLAN”) index may also be included in cache line index calculation. The VLAN index enables segmentation of the cache into virtual tables. The tag portion of the cache entry includes a subset of the complete set of intermediate elements. The intermediate elements in the cache entry can be employed in conjunction with the cache line index to recover the original MAC address. Hence, the size of the tag portion of the address cache entry is reduced relative to the full MAC address without a reduction in the information content of the entry.

摘要翻译： 通过将诸如媒体访问控制（“MAC”）地址的地址组织到多个中间元素中来计算用于地址高速缓存条目的高速缓存行索引，根据预定的桶来移位至少一个中间元素的比特 标准，并将中间地址元素与异或函数一起折叠。 虚拟局域网（“VLAN”）索引也可能包含在高速缓存行索引计算中。 VLAN索引可以将缓存分割成虚拟表。 高速缓存条目的标签部分包括完整的一组中间元素的子集。 高速缓存条目中的中间元素可以与高速缓存行索引一起使用以恢复原始MAC地址。 因此，地址高速缓存条目的标签部分的大小相对于完整MAC地址减小，而不会减少条目的信息内容。

摘要： A satellite communication system for providing communications between user terminals and gateways constituted with m primary satellites. In one embodiment, n back up satellites are also provided. Further, each satellite, primary or back-up, is equipped to project N/m beams onto and across an area in a loosely-packed array manner. M of the m primary and n back-up satellites collectively create N beam spots to cover the area. Moreover, each sub-area is covered by a beam spot separated from another sub-area covered by another beam spot by one beam width. Each satellite is also equipped to facilitate communication over 1 of m band of frequencies on one beam. As a result, any of the m primary satellites may be efficiently replaced on demand by a selected one of the n back-up satellites. The gateways and user terminals are configured to communicate signals through or with both or either the primary and back-up satellites.
